My Valentines

We have been so busy with the business, school functions and friends coming to visit us! Since my last post..Laney pulled herself to standing for the first time! She has stepped from one thing to another a few times but is not cruising around the furniture just yet. She will pull herself up on anything now! Also below for my friends who know me pretty well and know that Laney's closet is filled with clothing boutique outfits and clothing party clothes will be shocked to know I bought Laney a Wal Mart outfit for Valentines! We don't wear the shirt out in public but did put the leggings with a white top for Valentines. It is a great sleep outfit! Also Parker had a singing thing at school where they sang all kinds of songs and they were so cute! Then one Sunday, Aunt Celeste and her boyfriend Chris took Parker out riding the ranger. They take Parker from time to time for stuff like this and he loves it. We love Mr. Chris and think that my kids will have 2 Uncle Chrises before too long!

My friend Millie also came to visit us last week and brought Elizabeth. It was much fun and hopefully she will come again. Maybe we will think about letting the boys play. 2- 5 year olds are harder than 2 babies! Our Valentines was good but we were all sick but Parker. Laney even had pretty high fever for her..102.5! Jason is the worst patient though. You would think he was about to die with a sinus infection and back problems. Anyway, I love Valentines day because it was the day I found out Parker was on his way! I will never forget sitting at work all day thinking something wasn't here yet and thinking am I pregnant? I sure had been tired. On my way home I stopped at Walgreens and picked up a test. I was so nervous and Jason was just excited he went outside and yelled "We are having a baby!" Thank goodness we lived on a cove at the time! Anyway, Parker is forever my valentine!

I happened to have my camera because I was about to take a picture of Laney in her Wal Mart outfit and she just pulled herself up to standing for the first time!!! Go Laney!

Showing off our first Wal Mart outfit..ha ha! Please ignore Jason's yucky foot in the picture. I need to crop this! Parker took it though..he did a good job..besides the foot. Laney looking all pretty while Parker gets ready for his nature hike!

Is this a little boy in his element or what!

Parker getting ready to sing. They were cute! My favorite was when they sang a song that I use to sing when I went to PDS..Deep and Wide. You could hear Parker..he must love that song.

Laney opening her Valentine happy from us. If you are wondering..this was while she had fever and we had stripped her down, given her a bath and trying to get the fever down. It worked!

Laney standing up in her crib like a big girl!

Catch up!

I know it has been forever! Just been very busy with sick kids, last days of work and just normal stuff. Since my last blog, Laney got bronchitis and had to have breathing treatments 3 times a day! Then Parker got a sinus infection. See my poor kids have been cursed with sinus/allergy problems and that is usually always the root of their sickness. Poor things! Parker actually is going back to the dr. tomorrow because I just don't think he is over it! Laney also got her 4th tooth the weekend of the 24th. I also put her in Parker's old walker and she loves that thing now and will practically run around the house in it. It is such a life saver since she is mobile now. I can put her in that and not worry for the most part what she will get into. She gets into more things than Parker ever did! Light sockets, drawers, cabinets, you name it. If there is an object around that is not a toy, that is what the little darling will go for. She is a MESS! I also let her try Parker's old walker you push and she knew right what to do and did it well but she was scared to death! See the pictures below! Kinda funny! Oh and at her 9 month appointment, Dr. Wells told us it was time to start brushing so see below at her first teeth brushing! She loves the toothpaste. Unlike Parker, he hates his toothpaste. He says it is too hot. But last week, I got him a toothbrush that spins and now he actually wants to brush!

Speaking of Parker, he cracks me up. His new sayings he says all the time..

"Are you Serious?" or

"Seriously..."

"That is Lame"

"You have got to be kidding me"

And this morning I put on his heaviest jacket since it was 20 outside and he said...

"This jacket makes me look Fat!"

Oh gracious, that made me laugh!

Anyway, enjoy the pictures and I will try not to be so long next time. After all, I am now officially at Home!!! Yep, my last day of work was last week and so far, I love being at home. Our mornings are so less stressful! Being a working mother trying to do everything is very hard! So glad not to be working now!

Watching brother, daddy and Uncle Bradley target practice

She loves this car and it is wonderful when you have one mobile but not mobile enough to play outside and one that is very mobile and playing outside!

Cutie Parker!

Uncle Bradley, Parker and Daddy target practicing with their bow and arrows

Parker loves doing anything his daddy does. Well when Jason called Bradley to come target practice, Parker grabbed his bow and arrow too!

Below, Parker has had lots of Birthday parties and last weekend we had one at McDonalds. Parker doesn't really eat the fries so Laney and I finished them off. Her first McDonalds fries and I think she liked them too much!

Laney grabbing the walker taking off!

Look at the scared face!

Yummy this tooth brushing is fun

I have always thought it was funny jason and parker would end up in the exact same sleeping positions! Well they both ended up in our bed one night last week and I looked over that morning and look at this! I thought it was too funny!

Laney cruising around in the walker figuring it all out
