Recent Happenings

Summer has officially started for me. Our whole family has been fighting being sick for the past couple of weeks. I have to say that now I think we are all on the mend. Thank goodness. Last week Parker participated in soccer camp. He has a pretty good kick on him when he wants to follow directions. Colton is now 9 and half months. He weighs 18 pounds and still does not want to sleep through the night. We are working on this though.
This past weekend Budge and I went down to Napa to celebrate Josh and Natalie's wedding. Always a fun time getting together with old friends! Off to Bend on Friday to celebrate the 4th of July with another old friend Andrea and her beautiful family. Can't wait. Have a great week everyone.

He loved kicking over the cones.

We had an outside pirate party yesterday for Parker's third birthday. I have no idea where three years have gone. Thank you to all our family and friends who were able to join in the fun. I will post more pics later. Poor Colton is sick getting four new teeth. Yuck!

Easter 2011

We started off our Easter weekend with the arrival of Aunt Kim on Friday night. All of us headed over to Kathy's house for dinner since all the cousins were in town. On Saturday, my dad and Pam headed up. We walked around this Earth Day festival and then came home to dye Easter eggs. Last year Parker did this and liked it but man how much changes in a year. He was so in to it this year and wanted to drop all the eggs in the dye. We started off with a spin art dye machine but it did not work well, so we resorted to the old dye.








After dying eggs, Nona and PopPop thought it would be fun to give the boys their Easter baskets. Let's just say there will never be Easter grass in a basket again. Crazy mess but P loved it.

On Easter morning, the bunny had left a trail of eggs to the boys Easter baskets.



We had the whole family over minus a few. The grand total was 22. Family is so important. Here are some pictures.

Thank you everyone for making our Easter a great one!

After everyone left, we headed out for a walk and to go fishing.

Like father like son!
