More More More!

I got a CD in the mail today from Great Grandma Sharon (plus a very cute outfit and a left behind toy). The CD contained all the wonderful pictures that Melissa took during the party. Unfortunately there are too many to put them all on, but here are a few.

First of all, my favorite subject, Parker.

Surprise! Everybody was waiting for Sharon and Roger to get to Mike and Linda's so that they could "take them out to dinner."

The guest of honor!

Mikaela (Hank's cousin), Mimi, and Papa.

The Gaenzles: Kim, Sharon, Roger, Debi, Linda, and Mark

Mimi, Papa, and all the cousins.

Makenna was so sweet, she really wanted to help out with Samantha.

This is the memory quilt I made for them.

Papa and Mimi

Mark and Melissa made this awesome DVD of pictures. It was a big hit, except with Parker who I had to go put down for a nap right before the pictures of Hank and I came on.

All the party goers

Sam wasn't able to get there until after the party, but it was still fun getting to meet the whole Warren family. Hopefully we will get to see you guys again soon!

Too many pictures

I know, I know, I take a lot of pictures and spend way too much time blogging, but it is the only way Dada gets to see the Park! Hank will be home in May and then the blogging will significantly slow down, so just enjoy it while you can!
Parker and my cousin Kelsey.

My cousin Jillena and her friends were in the area yesterday, so the girls spent the night here last night.

Also Nicki, Dev, Connor, and Kelsey came over for dinner and a couple of games of Dominos last night.


This face reminds me of one that Ian likes to make.

And here are just a bunch of cute photos.

Spit Bubbles

High Chairs, Care Bears, and More

I finally got Parker's high chair out yesterday and she did really well in it. In fact she ate more solid food than I have ever seen her eat in one day.

Then she and Grandpa played a game of "Where's the baby?"

There she is!


Then she got to eat some of the Care Bear cake that Momma made.

And then helped Uncle David play "Stick it to Mom."

But after she gummed her way through a caramel wrapper Uncle David decided to hand her over to the G-momma.

This is the scrunched up nose face she likes to make lately, accompanied by breathing loudly through her nose.

Goodbye El Paso!

On Wednesday we had to leave to go back to NY. We really did have a wonderful trip, our only complaint (other than the luggage issue) was that it was too short! Thank you thank you thank you to both sides of the family for taking such good care of us.

Here is Park back at the airport. We really don't plan on doing any more flying for quite a while...

We finally made it back home at about 11p Wednesday night. Grandpa, G-momma, and Uncle David were excited to see us, and as you can tell Parker was just as excited to see them.

The Zoo... kinda

On Tuesday we went to Fort Bliss and hung out with Grandpa and Grandma Nesbitt, then in the afternoon Sam, Michelle, and Samantha picked us up and took us to the zoo. It was only like 85 out but it was just too much for the little girls. Parker was screaming the entire time and Samantha was getting red so after 45 minutes of walking around we had to ditch Sam's family and the zoo and head to some where cooler.

So we went to the mall and had ice cream.

We really enjoyed getting to meet everyone, and especially getting to let Parker and Samantha meet!
