I was just going through some things around the house this week and found some pictures of Parker when he was 16 months old. Ryder turned 16 months on the 10Th of this month, just thought I'd compare the two of them...


Parker's hair was just as curly as Ryders, it just would go flat on top and stay curly on the bottom throughout the day. Skylar and I both have really curly hair, I think that it looks cute on most people, just not a fan of it on myself.

On Saturday I threw Skylar's sister, my sister in law, a baby shower. They had been trying for 3.5 years to get pregnant, and she is due at the end of March. She is having a boy and they are naming him Kayson Lance Parkinson.

there was a lot if people that came, and she got a lot of nice stuff!! Makes me so baby hungry...not for the baby, more for the baby stuff! ;)


Sometimes I get in these moods where I'm feeling crafty, so I made some diaper cakes for the shower, 60 diapers in each cake.

I had enough stuff to make two of them...so I did! this one has baby things all over it, like wash clothes an outfit, a bottle, and lots of other stuff.
I also made them a slideshow for the baby shower and put it on youtube..just for fun :)

LOTS GOING ON!!

So ever since spring semester started I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off! I am only taking two classes and I feel so overwhelmed, it seems like on-line classes have so much more work then just going to campus. I am so glad my counselor talked me out of taking a third class!! I also watch a little girl three times a week and I'm planning a baby shower...doesn't seem to bad right?...wrong!! Parker continues to get in trouble at school, even the principle is at a loss with this kid. Ryder has been really sick for the past few weeks and whines at everything, his new favorite word is ow, so every time he starts to whine or cry or throw a fit all he says is ow over and over. I do believe I had more patience before I had children. Sky has been trying to pressure me to cut Ryders hair so he doesn't look like a baby so much, I think it's so cute and he is a baby he is only 16 months old! I did cut his bangs so they wouldn't be in his eyes anymore. So this past week I went to my uncles funeral and it was one of the coolest funerals I've ever been to (is that weird to say?) it was just our family and some very close friends, it wasn't a traditional LDS funeral, he was cremated and we just all got together in the funeral home and talked about growing up and we laughed the whole time. Then all of my dads brothers got up and said some really nice things about my uncle. I didn't know my uncle very well in fact I had only met him twice in my life, he was very private and liked being alone, he however decided to get close with the family just before he died, isn't that how is always is? none of my dads brothers are active member of the church so when my dad got up and bore his testimony to his brothers and their families is was so awesome, I cried like a little baby! At the grave side my uncle and his wife preformed a Navaho ceremony with a feather and smoke and we all got in line and were purified/cleansed. This uncle was adopted when he was a baby and is full Navaho, I thought it was awesome.
