Definitely ALL Boy!

Parker is definitely all boy! He loves to play outside, get dirty and is always full steam ahead. He makes me laugh everyday and when that cute little thing looks up to you with those big blue eyes and smiles then my heart melts every time. What a true blessing from God.

The toy train he got for his birthday, he needs a little help riding it, but loves it.

He found a mudpuddle outside and before I could stop him he was playing in it and of course loved every minute of it.

There was that candy "fun dip" in his easter basket. John and him got into it and afterwards I told them both they looked like the Incredible Hulk.

Easter Memories!

Happy Easter to all of you. I hope you had a wonderful day at church and with family and friends. Our church was packed this morning and we had a great service. It is good to be reminded of the ultimate sacrifice our Lord made for us and that he is ALIVE!!!

Parker loved all his Easter goodies. Oh course, the balls were his favorite things but the new spinning top is also high on the list. You can see how cute he was all dressed up in his "Easter Best".

Parker's birthday party

Here are pictures from the birthday party last Sat. It was a beautiful day and all had fun. As you can see by looking at Parker's picture he was a little banged-up. He fell on the concrete the day before the party and had several war wounds. He definitely LOVED the cake and wouldn't stop eating it--I guess he is like his mother in that aspect. Thanks to all that came that day and made Parker's day special! (Click on the collage to make it larger to help with viewing)

Happy Birthday Parker

Well at 10:12pm 1 year ago today I had a beautiful baby boy---Parker. He weighed 7lbs. 1 oz.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET LITTLE ONE!!!!!!

This year has gone by extremely fast. Most of ya'll told me this would happen, so cherish every moment of everyday.

We are staying close to home today. The big birthday party was this past Sat., I will post about it later, so today it is just us. Parker has been feeling a little under the weather as well as John and I too. I think we are all passing this crude around. We have started breathing treatments for the 1st time and what an experience that is---it is getting better though. I think Parker has just realized he has to do it so just deal.

Happy Birthday John

Today my sweet husband and as Parker says---Da,Da----turned 35!! Below is the awesome cheesecake from a great bakery in Gulfport. John isn't much of a sweet eater but the one dessert he does like is cheesecake, so he was suprised to find this in the refrigerator today.

March is a really busy month---Bryant's bday on the 8th(will blog this soon), our anniversary on the 8th, John's bday on the 12th, Parker's bday party on the 15th, Parker's actual bday on the 19th and Haden's bday on the 21st. WOW, lots of partying going on in March.

Parker loves his new car, and of course is all smiles. Everyone asks us if he is happy all the time and the answer is YES!!! You can't help but light up when you see that sweet little smile and his funny laugh will just put you over the edge. I included this picture for John's bday blog because John says Parker is a welcome sight at the end of a long workday and that smile makes it all worth while.

Happy Anniversary Baby!!!

Wow-----------9 years of marriage for John and I. I can't believe how time flies by. Saturday the 8th was not only my nephew Bryant's 5th birthday but also our Anniversary.

March 8, 1999 on Sanibel Island, FL we were married. We opted for a destination wedding and brought along family and friends. When John and I were at dinner last night we were thinking out Sanibel Island and definitely have to get back there someday soon. For you that have never been, it is beautiful and such a quaint little beach town.

These 9 years have brought lots of laughter and even a few tears. We now have a beautiful baby boy that will be 1 on the 19th of this month, and God continues to bless us all well beyond our wildest imagination.

Posing on the beach and all smiles!
