Parker jumped all night long!

Our Parker P turned three years old on August 20TH. We went and played at willow Park. Then we went home and set up his new trampoline that he got for his birthday. He loves jumping on it. Parker and Skylar even spent the night on the tramp.

Ryder swimming at the party...it took me a second to realize that he does not have a Binky...it's a ring pop! Who the heck gave him a ring pop?

We celebrated Parker's 3RD birthday at Grandma Saxtons house on Saturday. We had a giant water slide, kiddie pool, Water balloons, and water slingshots. Everyone seemed to have had a pretty good time. Parker was cranky because he was tired and needed a nap! He got a lot of new toys that he loves to play with. lots of his cousins and his friend Ryker came to the party.
It is so crazy to think that I have a three year old, am I even old enough to have kids? Not to mention that Ryder will be one in October! Time goes by way to fast when they are little...there is so much I want to do with them before they grow up, just seems that every year there is more to do and less time. Parker starts pre-school on the 2ND of September, I am so excited for him but way nervous at the same time, If you know Parker no explanation needed! watching my baby boys grow up so fast makes me...well baby hungry(shh don't tell Skylar) Merr and Russ brought their little baby girl Kate to the Party, she is eight months old and so cute and little. I never thought that I would want a little girl, my plan was to have four boys and they would all be best friends, and such gentlemen. But thanks to Merr my plan has changed, bring on a little girl! In a few years of course.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT

Well what can I say, I would probably be looking too...more for jealous reasons then for the reasons he is looking. Shame Shame Mr. President!

SUMMER UPDATE

Ryder LoveD the Parade!


Parker and Dad at the Rodeo days carnival....next year Ryder will be able to go on the rides.


Summer has once again gone by so fast. I feel like we have done so much this summer. Not one weekend wasted. But at the same time there is still so much to do. Parker is turning three on the 20Th of this month...I can't believe it. in two months Ryder will be one! It honestly feels like I just left the NICU at McKay Dee's hospital with him. At the same time I feel like okay bring on number three.

Well Ryder has been crawling for a couple of weeks and he is into everything. Parker thinks and acts like he is two going on sixteen. Parker and I both start school this month and I am way excited for it. Skylar is still working for his dad trying to build his own business and he seems to be doing really well at it.

Dillon my little brother (see earlier posts) is doing really well. His cancer seems to be in remission for now, but he will still have to take oral chemo for the rest of his life to hopefully keep it that way. The rest of my family is doing good, my parents moved to Tooele a little while ago and I like they are liking it.

So I have Breaking Dawn the forth and final book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers. I am scared to start it cause I know that I won't want to stop...and with two kids you can barley get a page done without stopping.

BIRTHDAY FUN!!

For my 25TH birthday me and Skylar went to Bear Lake with his whole family. We had a lot of fun. Parker is always on his best behavior when he is outside...but we still have to keep a real close eye on him. Ryder loved the water, and he ate most of the sand. Skylars mom made me brownies and even though I was so full from all the great food we ate, I still managed to get at least three of them down me. Turning 25 was a little easier then I thought.... running after Parker all day I basically forgot it was even my birthday for the most part.

4TH OF JULY FUN

RYDER LoVeD the FIREwoKs


PARKER and Ryder Waiting for the USU fireWORKS


RydeR is SO danG CUTE!

Lots of stuff was going on this year for the 4TH. We had Idaho days, which Parker had so much fun at, we went to the USU fireworks on the 3RD, and then on the 4Th we all went boating then went over to Great Grandma Saxtons for a BBQ and let off even more fireworks. Ryder was really, really sick for most of the fun. Parker Loved every minute of it. On Sunday we went to Tooele for my nephews baby blessing and then had a a dinner, so we were able to spend time with both side of the family for the holiday. I think that it so funny, when you are a kid you watch the fireworks, when you are a parent you watch your kids watch the fireworks. I love to see Parker's and Ryder's faces when they are excited about something.

We all went out to the lake on the 4Th and had a blast, swimming, boating, and tubing. Ryder was really sick, but Parker loved it. We go on the boat a few times every year with Skylar's family. It is so awesome for me to see Parker having so much fun since he is starting to make memories.

We all went to Idaho days and had a blast. There were so many fun things for Parker to do. He loved it! There were a lot of fun booths for the adults, like home decor, baby bows, and jewelry. Next year I want to set up my own booth. Just not sure what I want to sell...Any suggestion?..
