| Once again almost a month has gone by without a post :-(. Time just goes by so fast and I think about posting at least a couple times a week but it's not as easy as just posting pictures and writing a quick HELLO. I have to upload the pics from my camera then because I have certain programs on my computer for phototgraphy, the pictures have to go through certain processes. So, it takes a little more time than normal but I'm working on posting more. So, these next few pics of Parker boy are from about 3 weeks ago when our friends Eddie & Alma came over with their kiddos one Friday night for a quick visit and pizza. Parker fell asleep in his jumper with all the noise of a 3 year old, 2 year old and 8 month old and 3 dogs. |

| His little footsies don't quite reach the floor yet... As for our little Parker boy, I've said it a couple times before and I have to say it again... He is the most ticklish baby ever! He laughs when you touch any part of his body. He is so happy and smiles all the time unless he is hungry or tired then he'll let you know about it. He turned 5 months last Friday and is still wearing mostly 3 month clothes. I just washed all of his 3-6, 6 , and 6-9 months clothes and the 6-9 look so big! He is only about 6 oz. heavier than Ella was at this age but Ella seemed way more chunky monkey to me. I think Parker is just longer. He plays on his tummy quite a bit reaching out for his toys and he rolls over both ways We pu him up in his bedroom in his crib on 2/24 for the first time...WHA!!! Made me cry! He's doing good though and he seems to like his crib. Canyon Lake last weekend was his first vacation or trip away from home and he did pretty good. Ella's first trip away from home was around the same time and we went to Kerrville to stay with Poppa Joe & Naner. He did great on the ride up there and slept the whole way but once we stopped at Walmart to get milk for Ella, he woke up and was HUNGRY! So, I nursed him in the car in the walmart parking lot. :-) |
 |
| The next day Chris met up with Blake & Poppa to go to some car show while Granny, Leah, Ella, Parker & Ethan went to get new shoes and have lunch. We went to target first which is where we were in this first pic of Ella & Ethan. They love to hold hands! Ethan has passed her right up in height. |
 |
| That night we went to Hickory Hollow with Granny & Poppa. Granny needed a new screen saver since Parker came along so I had to get a couple of shots of all 3 of them together. |

 |
| When I hold Parker, which is a lot of the time, he always presses his face against mine like in this picture. I love his little cheeks! |
 |
| One night a couple weeks ago, I caught Ella and Daddy out in the backyard, laying on the court looking at the moon. She loves to go out there with Daddy when it gets dark and look at the stars. |

| Ella will stop everything she is doing if she hears Parker fussing and sometimes even if he isn't she will go over to him and either bounce him, hold his hand or kiss his head and say, "It's ok Parker." A couple weeks ago she said, "RELAX Parker, RELAX!" LOL She also tells the dogs to "shut up, be quiet an hush!" I guess I need to stop telling the dogs to be quiet since that is of course what dogs do...bark. |
 |
| Then she walks away and he watches her with great concentration. |
 |
| Last weekend we went to Canyon Lake to meet Papa Joe and Naner at The Silverleaf Resort Condos to visit for the weekend and also for Aunt Jojo to pick out her new puppy. Papa Joe and Naner have a snauzer that they bred with another one and had puppies that Jojo got to choose from. |
 |
| It was FREEZING on Saturday only because the wind was blowing so hard so we didn't get to be outdoors for very long. We did get a chance to get Ella out to play a little bit. |
 |
| Naner & Parker watching Ella. |
 |
| We found a somewhat steep hill and showed Ella how to roll down it. She loved it along with Daddy of course. |
 |
| After rolling down the hill she was dizzy and had to regroup...LOL |
 |
| Daddy did some rolls down the hill too. |
 |
| Here are the two puppies...sisters...sleeping together on Jojo's bags. I think both of them wanted to go home with her! |
 |
| Parker has found his feet! Any chance he gets, he reaches for them and holds on tight! |
 |
| I love this picture with the sunlight behind him! |
 |
| This was our view from the condos overlooking Canyon Lake. I had no idea how blue and clear the water was. It's really a beautiful lake! |
 |
| Poppa Joe and Parker. |
 |
| Sunday, before heading back, Chris, Ella, Parker and I headed to the dam because Ella loves the water so much and wanted to see it! It was really a beautiful sight! |
 |
| I get this look a lot! LOL |
 |
| Some things Ella Bear is doing right now...some great and some not so great... First of all, the girl LOVES pinecone seeds. She picks them up before going into Mrs. Scott's house and our house every day! She holds them while we going walking in the stroller and pretty much always has one in her hand. She likes to hold onto leaves too. She's our little nature girl! :-) She says, "I see you Daddy." or "I see you Mommy" like they do in the movie Avatar. She has watched that movie at least 8 times all the way through which is probably why she is soooooooooo dramatic lately. They are very dramatic in that movie and I swear she acts just like them when she doesn't get her way! We haven't let her watch it for a while now hoping she'll not be so dramatic. She had her first accident-free day back on January 19th but lately we've hit a bit of a set back with her and potty training. She hasn't wanted to go when she gets home from Mrs. Scott's. She gives us a really hard time and then just ends up having an accident in her panties anyways. So, we have gone back to diapers for a minute and are giving her a short break. We are going to start again strong next Monday (the beginning of springbreak for Chris and I). Wish us luck! She didn't feel very good a last weekend and had a fever for 3 days. She said her ears were hurting and so we did some of our home remedies and she felt a lot better the next day. So, she was EXTRA cranky this week and just cries and cries and cries when she doesn't get her way. She's definitely showing attitude lately! LOL She loves going to the park and being outside like most kiddos and we try to go on a walk several times during the week. It'll be easier now to go on a walk since it will be lighter longer. She is still the sweetest little Ella Bear in the world with her hugs and kisses and amazing personality...she's just being a two year old and from what I keep hearing she is a lot milder than most her age. I'm sure there are many that are more laid back too. She LOVES crackers, her paci still, her snuggles (small blanket with satin around the edges - she has several), her big blankie with satin around the edges, eggs, Parker, playing "trust fly" with her daddy (she stands on the coffee table and Chris' legs are spread about a foot wide a he is sitting on the couch then she falls forward and lands her face in his stomach. She can do this a thousand times and laugh every time!), stars (her lady bugs night light that puts out stars and a moon on her ceiling - the stars were on in the car most of the way to Canyon Lake, at least while she was awake), raisins, mac n cheese, reading books herself and having someone else read to her, milk, chick-fil-a, sweet potato fries, etc. etc. etc. |
 |
| I love this picture of my baby girl and I! It's rare that we get pictures together so when we get a good one, I get so excited!!! |
 |
| On the other hand, we have tons of Daddy and Ella... enough to have made a book for father's day a when she was about 6 months old. |
 |
| I love that smiles of hers! It can brighten even the brightest of days. |
 |
| Walking down to the water. I was holding Parker and taking pictures...don't worry, we didn't leave him in the car or back at the condo. ;-) |
 |
| Chris and Ella were looking for good skipping rocks. |
On another note...March 10, 2011 was our 4
year wedding Anniversary! I can't believe how fast
it's gone...4 years and two babies! We have our
tiffs and issues but what couple doesn't. The song
lyrics below sung by Brad Paisley say it best...substitute
boy for girl...LOL
I remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mesmerized
And 3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet but I thought I loved you then
Chorus
Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than it's ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then.
I remember taking you back to right where I first met you
You were so surprised
There were people around
But I didn't care I got down on one knee right there
And once again I thought I loved you then
Chorus
Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than it's ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then.
I can just see you with a baby on the way
I can just see you when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before.
Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl
Well look back some day at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say and I thought I loved you then
And I thought I loved you then...
Happy Anniversary...Love you baby!
