Beach Pictures 2009

We are back from vacation and had a blast! I just love going to Florida every year!! So I know I am about to be obnoxious with pictures and I am sorry! The following pictures are from my beach photo shoot..ha ha! One night I took them out in blue which they both were not happy to take pictures at all. The next night, we had our normal family pictures in white. Laney was in such a great mood and I was able to get some great shots of her! Parker well he is so easy to get a good picture of and my sister got some good ones on my other camera. I need to get that one too! Anyway, enjoy the pictures and I will post another post of us having fun on the beach!

Where do I begin?

I don't know how I let so many weeks go by and did not blog! We have been busy with basketball camp, VBS, swimming, playdates and running errands getting ready for vacation. Parker Loved basketball camp. That same week, he had VBS. He really liked that too. That ended all of his camps for the summer. I figured July would go by fast with vacation and I think I am going to be brave and let him spend a week with his Nanny in Missouri. I mean he is my first born, it took me until he was 22 months to let him stay one night away from me so it has taken almost 6 years to get the courage to let him go stay 5 hours away from me for a week. I know he will have fun and it will be nice for me to get some one on one time with Laney. Laney got another tooth today so she is up to 7. She uses a spoon pretty well but left handed! We think she might be left handed. She sucks her left thumb and throws a ball left handed too. We will see! Parker taught her to spit the other day. It was funny. He would do it and then she would. I told him to stop but of course it was too funny not to stop. The 2 play with each other so cute now too! They love jumping on Momma's bed and playing ring around the rosey. Laney laughs when they all fall down! I know you might not should let them jump on the bed but they have so much fun and My parents let us so why not? They loved it the most when I did it with them! We had a good July 4th. Parker went with Jason golfing then Mom had a big yummy lunch ready for us. My friend Lesley this past week brought Lucy Kate and Bryant over for a playdate. I was glad I had 3 highchairs so they all 3 enjoyed lunch! Then they played. They really seem to enjoy playing with each other now that they are old enough. Bryant loved going in Parker's tunnel and Laney would chase after him. I think Laney was a bad influence on Lucy Kate though. I think she taught her to climb! Laney loves to climb and will climb on the coffee table in a second! Anyway, hope everyone is doing great and enjoy the pictures!

Laney does not need toys...she goes through any cabinet and drawer she can find. This day she entertained herself with tinfoil!

Laney's first time feeding the ducks! Well turtles..there are a million turtles out there!

Laney's class had a 4th picnic and they all wore these shirts they made!

A girl needs her hair products..ha! She generally does not do this but for some reason this new pudding I got she puts it in her hair! She eats it too but it goes in her hair! This is why I don't let her eat pudding until supper and we go straight to the bathtub afterwards!

Single Parenting

Well...we have been doing lots of summer things and trying to stay cool. This past week has been HOT here! Too hot to do anything outside! Jason went on a national bowling tournament trip this week and was gone for 7 days..it was in Las Vegas and you know he will not step foot on a plane so they drove. Yeah, I know they are CRAZY! It took them 24 hours to drive. Anyway, I have survived the week but much prefer having Jason around that is for sure! Parker has not been acting his sweet self. He has been in trouble a lot but this week! He will be here in a few hours and I can not wait till he gets home! I also have had to drive his truck around this week (they took my suburban) and answer his phone. I have a new respect for his job. It is stressful dealing with everyone and making everyone happy!

The past 2 weeks, Parker has been finishing up t-ball and they finally won a game! It was so fun..they boys were so happy and excited! You would have thought they won the world series or something. Parker has been hitting the ball so well..out to the fence. If he would only run fast and not watch the ball, he could have made a few triples and a home run or two. He also is getting better at fielding when he is behaving. He has made at least 6 outs by stopping the ball and tagging the runner out on 3rd! Not bad for his first year! He does need to work on listening to his coaches and not going after every ball. Parker for sure is not scared of the ball and wants everyone! Parker also this summer has been to baseball camp, art camp and soccer camp. Soccer camp was this past week while Jason was gone and he was not the best behaved thing. I don't know if it was the heat this week or Jason gone! Next week Parker has basketball camp and VBS..thank goodness Jason will be home!

Laney is good..she is running all over the place. She LOVES food..she will eat anything! She tends to eat her veggies first and loves green beans! I think she says lots of things...I just don't understand them. She says bye bye which she says all the time if she sees the door open, is putting her shoes on or anything like that. She points to babies and says baby all the time real well. She also says Rebel really good too! I think she is saying "bubba" for brother but still trying to figure it out. She loves books. Today she got one of her favorites Brown Bear Brown Bear and was looking at it and I swear she was saying "bra ber bra ber" She kept saying it over and over! She will get a book and take it to Jason and say "Ree me" translation Read to me. I just love this age!! She starting playing peek a boo by covering her eyes with her hands..So cute! The girl can climb too! She climbed all the way up their playset and loves doing it! She is too funny too. She "talks" on the phone..gets the tv clicker and points it at the tv like she knows what she is doing and tries to put her bows and shoes on. It is so funny!

Daddy sharing his fudge pop...yummy!

Parker was so ready to go swimming and he wanted Laney to come and was helping her get dressed. He quickly found out it is hard to dress a moving target!
