Last weekend, we went to Kansas to see grandparents Wilson. We went to the fair and rode the horses (three times), the planes, cars, and train. On Sunday, Uncle Rick took us out on his tractor. Parker loved to turn the wheel and "pick it up and dump it!" (insert hand gestures here)

Jersey...Uncle Rick's new puppy!

God Parents take us to the Zoo

Today we went to the zoo! Parker had a great time looking at all the animals. We saw elephants, watched the seals swim, visited the rainforest area, and walked through a big bird house. But, parker loved the monkeys and the bears!

Larokeet House

This past weekend, we went to Kansas for a family wedding. On Saturday morning Aunt Renee and Uncle Andy went with us to the park. Parker loved to run up and down the ramp, climb up the stairs, crawl through the tunnel and of course slide! He had so much fun!

Aunt Renee and Uncle Andy help Parker take the short-cut...over and over.

Later that day was the wedding reception. Parker loved playing outside with his cousins. Parker and Logan walked down to the pond to throw in rocks.

Mom and Parker danced!

Parker ran up a small hill and rolled down...over and over.

Torrey Pines

We spent the morning hiking in Torrey Pines. There were several hikes along the coast that took a few hours to explore. A nice woman stopped on the trail and took several pictures of us. After hiking, we went to La Jollia to eat lunch. At our resturant we saw the same woman that took our picture. She recognized us and said she owend the resturant. It had great food and we sat on a beautiful patio covered in potted flowers.

Love my new camera!

May 2009

Parker loves to watch the birds in our yard. Dan had a great idea of getting a bird feeder for the window and it has been a hit. For a few days this spring, we had some ducks visit our yard. This picture may explain why we have not seen much of them since...
Parker had both grandmas in town for Mother's Day! We had a great day & Parker loved having his Papa and Grandma here for the weekend!

We went to the park after school last week. Parker played on the playground as I played with my new camera!

Spring is Here!

Despite a few blizzards, feet of snow, and cold weather, Spring is here!

Dan and Parker went to Kansas the last weekend and had lots of fun. Grandma took Parker to visit family all over Kansas. They went on an egg hunt and played with his new fishing poll. He learned how to say "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk, Go KU!" and the sign of the cross; perfect for Easter.

We had a great Easter Sunday. Parker loved hunting for eggs. In church he said "Bye church! Home!"
