Nothing like falling asleep to a good book!

I actually took this a while ago, but I was going through pictures and just had to post it! I came to check on her to make sure she went to sleep for her nap one day and this is what I found - there really is nothing like falling asleep to a good book!

What a Princess!

Haley was recently invited to a princess party and Cinderella was there. She absolutely loved it!

They played games and read stories with them. To say she was amazed is an understatement, more like awestruck! She just sat there at stared at Cinderella.


Each girl got to walk down the red carpet and Cinderella crowned them a real princess!

It was pretty cute and she loves playing with her crown and necklaces that she got. Now, whenever she sees Cinderella on anything she says, "Mom, I know her!"

Happy 1st Birthday!

On July 31 it was Parkers 1st Birthday! We had a lot of fun that day. We started off his day with his favorite breakfast - pancakes. Then we went to Fun Days which is a little town celebration which was fun, mostly just to be together as a family. Haley probably had more fun than Parker but I think he had fun too. After that it was back home for some cake and ice cream. Scott was the cake decorator this year - I know its pretty shocking to hear that! But when you find out that it was a Tractor cake - not so shocking! Scott put a lot of creativity and effort into making it look realistic - from the pic you can tell that it is a tractor with a digger on it and it is digging up a field! I was so proud of my hubby! It turned out looking great! Parker definately enjoyed digging into the cake himself and ate every last bit of cake and ice cream that I would let him have (he would have eaten more if I'd let him). He loved opening his presents more than the presents themselves! I wish family could have been there, but it still was a wonderful day!

It's just crazy how fast the time goes. It seems like yesterday when we were bringing him home from the hospital! He is getting so big and learns so much everyday. Here are a few things that we just love about him:

• His open mouth kisses.........My favorite!
• His sweet little hugs
• The way he jabbers
• The dimple on his right cheek
• His monkey crawl
• His cheeser grin
• How he eats more than his sister
• The sweet spirit that he is!
