Cousin time

My sister Natalie and her family surprised us and came into town last weekend. Parker was so excited to see them. When we got to my mom's house, he ran in and gave them all a big hug.

Here is Parker with one of his favorite cousins. Brock is my sister Dawn's oldest son. Parker justloves going to Aunt Dawn's to play with the boys. Sometimes I think he forget he is only 2 and can't do everything the big boys are doing.

This is a picture of Brooklyn and my sister Natalie's boy Chip. As you can tell, it was taken a few months back. Like Parker and Jack, these two are only a few weeks apart.

Fun at the park

We had a ward BBQ awhile back at the park. While we were there, Parker and Justin had fun feeding the ducks and climbing the rock wall. I, of course was busy taking pictures and carrying Brooklyn around.

Brooklyn's blessing

Updating

One would think I could keep my blog updated since I have been on maternity leave.  Well I decided to get crazy and started 1 of 5 online classes in order to get my library science endorsement.  YEP!  I am crazy.  Now I have to discipline myself to do homework in my spare time and not play on the Internet while my kiddos are napping.  I am in between classes so I thought I better take this time and update my blog.  Here are some random pictures of the kids.

He really did look cute in the sute, but the shirt was itching him.

Family Pictures

I have been married almost 4 years and we finally got a professional family picture taken. Justin is not big on taking pictures so who knows when the next family one will be taken. Besides that, he hates the long wait it takes to get them done and picked out.  I thought they turned out cute and was excited to finally get them taken.

I am just happy Parker loves his sister.  

Brooklyn is chunkier than Parker was at this age.

We couldn't get him to take a picture without the helmet.

Big Brother

Parker is such a great big brother.  He loves his sister and is very helpful.  Whenever he is near her, he likes to hold her hand and give her kisses.  It's so cute to look back in the car and see him holding her hand.  If she's sad, he reminds me to feed her or he will give her her binky.  

Cousin in town

It just hasn't been the same since my sister Natalie and her family moved to Salt Lake.  Her son Jack is only a month older than Parker.  They always had so much fun together, so we were sad to see them go.  It would especially be nice to have them around now that the boys are getting older.  They came to visit a few weeks ago.  Here are some pictures of them playing at our house and visiting at Grandma's.  We told Parker we were going to Utah this weekend.  He got excited and said," Jack, Hannah, Alexis."  Then Justin had to break it to him that we were just going to St. George.  It was sad, but cute how excited he was before we had to break his excitement.
