Swimming With The Neighbors

Hailey and Caitlin are Parker's friends that live across the street. Earlier today, they invited Parker to come play in their pool. I had to make Parker get out because they had been in there for so long. They love going places and playing together.

David Cook won!



This is the first season of American Idol I have really watched, and also the first season I have voted for. I've been pulling for Cook for a while now...glad to see he made it!

Joey As A Pillow

We had the pleasure of doggy sitting my sister's dog, Kelsey this past weekend. Parker loves her, but the feeling is not mutual. He chased her all over the house, so she spent most of the time here on edge. She tends tolerate him at meal times, especially when Parker is eating hot dogs. They did manage to settle their differences for an afternoon nap on Sunday. Joey apparently makes the best pillow, because I caught them both sound asleep.



Kelsey was very excited when her parents picked her up Sunday afternoon.

Random.

I was going through my mother's iPhoto Library, and was amazed at her 5,775 items. There are pictures of everything in there! Babies, spiders, flowers and fires. Name it, and she's got a picture of it.

Here are a few that I'd like to share:

Mommy & Parker


This is what happens when my husband and my brother-in-law get bored at my parents house.



Parker and his cousin, Abby. She is exactly 1 week older than him.



All of my 1st cousins. Don't get us together unless you want a party.



My grandparents when they were young. Taken sometime in the 1940s.



Toddler Tracie



Highschool golf.



Probably the last picture taken before I became a mom.



My nutso sister and her husband at the 1987 Prom (in 2007). I'll let you decide who's hair is real and who's hair is fake.

My Crazy Dad

He's a pretty cool dude.

I Saw Michael Jordan At Burger King

Well, not the REAL Michael Jordan. But there was this kid that couldn't keep his tongue in his mouth.

He seems to do his best playing with his tongue hanging out.

Weekend

There is a state park just a few minutes from our house. Parker and I go to the playground there often. Joey likes to fish there. There is also a little restaurant we like to eat at. Friday night, just the 3 of us went out for dinner. Then after dinner, we walked around the docks and fed the ducks and fish.

On Saturday, we headed off to the mall for lunch and a little running and playing.

The boys played hard, so they needed to recharge a bit.

Then off to another restaurant on the lake with Joey's family. After we ate, we got to feed more ducks.

Parker ate some of the duck's food too.

We're At The Lake

We went to the lake for dinner and duck feeding on Friday and Saturday. We're going back this afternoon to play. We've had a busy last couple days, so we'll post more pictures and update our weekend tomorrow!
