Are you Ready for Some Football????

Parker started Flag Football and really seems to like the games. He is on defense but wants to be on the kickoff team. Silly boy you get to be on the field longer on defense! They have won one game and lost one!

Cheering our brother on! Lined up and ready to block or tackle or whatever it is they do! LOL!

Parker is #12...going after the ball I guess!

Whats for supper?

While I cook, Laney is all in the cabinets and drawers pulling out everything and trying to hand me stuff. She is a mess. Tonight while I was cooking she got in the pot! It was too funny! Parker of course had to do it too!


Parker Stew with a top on his head...silly boy had to do what sister was doing..he is a bit big

Laney Stew! LOL! She was saying Cheese!!

Dress Up!

We have been busy the past few weeks! We are back into the swing of things with school, had a few birthday parties including Jason's and have played dress up a little. Parker is doing good in school. He cracks me up all the time still. Yesterday he held up a VHS tape he said "Can you please tell me what this big ole thing is?" Boy did I feel old! He had no clue what it was! He has started Flag Football too. No games yet, they start next week. It is a lot more rougher than I thought and the teams have 6-9 year olds on them! He barely made the cut-off and can play since he will be 6 by Nov. 1. I would have re-thought him playing if I knew all that but he will be fine and it will toughen him up a little. He still is a bit whiny. Laney is just becoming a motor mouth. She says a new word everyday. It is so cute. She also will turn in circles if you tell her too. they must do something at school. She also sings and does the first motion to Wheels on the bus. You can't understand a word except round. Well I understand her. Oh I forgot how fun this stage was!! And the girl is obsessed with shoes and my make-up. Motor mouth, shoes and make-up....yeah I for sure have a girl on my hands!

Looking pretty after church today!
Daddy is more paranoid than I am...he had to get up there with her!

Daddy's 32nd birthday...Parker made him this birthday crown!

Parker had to make Daddy breakfast in bed on his birthday..on the menu was a frozen pancake and a coffee mug of water

Go Team!!!! Dressed up in her cheerleading uniform!

Laney doing her picture board project for school...see the board? Well I mostly did it of course.

Ye-Haw!!! Laney on Cowboy and Cowgirl day for school...yes I know I am pitiful but thanks to my good friend Gina who owns Fox Road she whipped up this L shirt in no time out of an old bandanna! Oh and thank goodness for Wal Mart having the $3 blue jean skirt!

Parker's First day of Kindergarten

Parker started 5k last week. I can't get over how much he has grown! Over 4 inches in the past 15 months! He is 95% for his height/weight! Anyway, he was so grown up on his first day...he went in found where to put his backpack, found his seat and told me bye momma..love you! He gave his teacher a big hug too. This is going to be a great year!

A few pictures from Parker's trip to his Nanny's House

Jason's mom sent me some pictures from Parkers visit up there. They live in the Ozark Mountains and it really is pretty up there and a great place to visit if you are into canoeing, trail rides and those types of outdoors activities (we all know I am more of a beachy/shopping type person..lol!). The towns are very small too. Anwyway, here are some pictures from his trip...he had a great time!


Parker and Butch putting the fire pit together...they roasted marshmellows

Wading in the River..they went canoeing too!

Parker, Nanny and Butch

What a great picture of them! Parker and his Nanny

Monkey See Monkey Do

The past few weeks have gone by so quickly. Parker went to stay 5 days with his Nanny and Butch in Missouri. He was suppose to stay a week and a half but got really home sick for his Momma so we had to go meet them in Jonesboro Arkansas to pick him up. Sweet boy was so sweet and happy to see us! He had a great time though...they went floating on the river (canoeing), fishing, he went to bible school and just had a good time with them. It was so odd having just Laney around. One kid is EASY!! I know when you have just one you don't think so
but when you go from 2 to 1 you can tell a big difference! I missed not having Parker around to help out and weird to have the house cartoonless for a week! Parker when he got back was his same old funny self. He made me crack up 2 times till I cried. We took him to the dr. for the rest of his shots and the dr asked him if he had kissed any girls to stay away from them. He said, "What, I have never kissed a girl in my entire life"...he said it very southern especially the life. It was so funny. Then on the way home his daddy asked him about it and he said "I can't kiss a girl till I am 15!" I liked the way he was thinking and I said..how about 18? He said..ok 19. I said Deal!! LOL!! The next night he started this thing where he told me not to look when he was naked. I said "Why can't I see you naked anymore?' He said "Women are not suppose to see men naked" I said well can men see women naked? He said yes. I said "Why can men see women but women can't see men? He looked at me so serious and said "Because Men are HIDEOUS looking and women are not." I just lost it. Silly kid...where does he get this from??? On a serious note that night he had shots he had the most awful reaction to one of them. He was itching his head and Jason told him to go take a bath. He did and he came in and told us he had bumps on in. I thought he meant a knot from where the shots were but no, he had hives ALL over him. On his thighs they were clustered one on top of another and then had them all over his arms, chest, stomach, neck face and he was itching like crazy. Benedryl and a steroid they gave him at the ER cleared it up after an hour or two but it was awful! I never have seen anything like it!

During this week I let Laney watch Sesame Street which she seemed to love. She loves Elmo! She has really become quite the character in the past month. She says so many words now...Eat, rain, baby, dink (this means drink) and lots of other things. She while Parker was gone got what we thought was the stomach virus but it lasted way longer than that! It ended up being bacterial...not sure from what but our water did go under a boil water notice that same day she came down with it along with pretty much her entire daycare class. It was awful..throwing up one day..the other the next then she seemed fine then the throwing up started again on the 3rd day then the other thing on the 4th day! 2 weeks later her diapers are finally back to normal. She had no fever or acted like she felt bad so that was a plus. Anyway, besides that Laney is just so much fun right now with her little dancing, laughing and playing with Parker and copying everything she sees! She is so funny if she hears the Spongebob theme song....she stops what she is doing and starts to dance...it is so funny! She is into climbing anything too. She climbs in drawers, tries to climb in and out of her bed. She fell out of her bed one time..scared me to death! She climbs in her bassinet that now is home to her dolls. She is a mess! Parker never ever was this much of a mess at this age! We still would not trade her for the world though..it is what makes Laney Laney!

Below you can see what she got into...after I had my shower I went for the q-tips and got the water out of my ears...not 2 seconds after I did this and walked to my room and back to the bathroom, I find Laney with these.........She is so happy with herself!!! See Mommy I can do it too! Now I can't keep her out of the q-tips!

Do you see I have my hands full??? She does these things in 2.2 seconds!

She loves to get in here with her babies! Hard to believe this was her bed for 4 months!

So glad to have brother back!

Playin at the Beach

Sorry I have taken forever to post the fun stuff we did at the beach. We pretty much were beach/pool bums the entire time but did venture out to eat, golf and visit friends. We love going to the beach and can't wait to do it again next year!

Marty, Jason and Chris with their catch! Jason caught 6 of them and the 2 big ones in the middle are his he says!

Daddy and the kids making a fish trap!

Laney loved the beach! But she had enough of it after about an 1 1/2 and would start saying bye bye. She took great naps while we were there! Wore the girl out!
