Redneck Christmas

When we shopping at the exchange today we saw that they had a santa, and that you could get a free picture with him. Unfortunately, Parker was ready for a nap and wanted nothing to do with Santa so we all had to get in the picture.

When we got home it was semi-warm and not raining so I convinced Hank to put up our Christmas lights. By the time he actually started it was raining again so.... here is hank on our neighbors ladder, on his truck, in the rain. Not redneck at all....

Then after Park went to bed I made her a old school advent calender. My mom use to help us make them when I was younger. They are just saran wrap, yarn, and the best ever hot chocolate and candy cane hershey kisses.

"Cheese!"

This is my favorite thing that Parker says right now. I love it, it makes getting pictures so much less painful.

Happy Birthday Uncle Ryan!

Yesterday we flew to Corpus for Thanksgiving. Parker was really good on the flights, but we were all pretty tired by the time we got here. Here you can see some of Parker's fading bruises.

It was Ry's birthday on the 16th, but he chose to wait for us to get here to celebrate. So last night Marlena, Chloe, Chance, and Chris came over and we had pizza and cake, and opened presents.



Chloe has gotten soooo tall and is speaking in full sentences. She is really articulate for a 2 year old.

I love Parker's hair when she first gets out of the tub.

Ryan really likes weird old hats. This is the type that General Lee wore (with Hank modeling).

Busy Weekend

I wrote a whole bunch of narration earlier, and right as I finished Parker turned off the computer by turning off the switch on the floor. She did it three more times after that. Arrrrgh.

Anyways, all three of us were sick this past weekend, but we still spent most of it helping some friends of ours paint and then move into their new house.

Believe it or not this crazy is sick/teething, yet still makes it impossible to get a good picture of her.

Here she is intently watching Little Einsteins.

Here she is modeling on one my hair clips. A bunch of friends came over and we made these for our girls. They are easy, and really cute.

And here is Miles just being Miles.

You know your daughter has been sick a lot when she gets wipes out and pretends to blow her nose. Then tries to get the dog to blow his nose. Then tries to wipe your nose.

Daddy and the Beach

Hank was off for most of this past week because of Veteran's Day. We got a lot done around the house, but unfortunately that doesn't make for good picture taking. Here are some pictures from a trip to the beach.

She didn't really like the hole Daddy dug for her.

Daddy didn't mind me burying his legs in it...

until he realized he was stuck.

Dancing Fool

Parker loves to dance, it is so funny.

Parker and Friends

I love this picture of Parker and her friend Tenley eating popcicles. I think Tenley is probably Parker's favorite friend to play with.



Our friends Sarah and Kody got a chance to spend some time in NYC last week, so we watched Charly for them. Parker and Charly got along well for the most part, and it was fun watching Parker interact with her so much. P.S. I guess those kids had to go, there was no water in there when I put them in....

Park enjoying the candy that Grandpa left for us.

Grandpa and Grandma Nesbitt

Here are some more pictures of Grandpa and Grandma Nesbitts trip to NC. Parker loved having them here, and was sad when they left.

Apparently I didn't take many pictures other than at the beach, but here are some cute ones.

Little Parker footprints.

Trying to run away with Grandma's shoes.

Hanging out with Grandma.

Grandpa and Grandma ( I had 3 layers on, by the way, I don't know how Grandpa wasn't freezing).

This is driving me nuts, she hasn't found a chair yet that she hasn't wanted to climb.

Helping carry bags around the airport.

She cried when I took her out of Grandma's arms when we were saying goodbyes.

Parker and Miles

Every time I have to go running down the street because Miles got out, or get mad because he has eaten something that wasn't his, Hank gently reminds me of how much Parker loves him. He really is her favorite playmate, and a good dog at heart.

He tolerates so much abuse from Park.

More Halloween

This is my friend Nicole, one of Parker's favorite people. I pretty much don't exist when Nicole is around.

Parker's pumpkin had a real candle in it, and mine had a light. Guess which one she was constantly trying to stick her fingers into.

Parker the Poodle.

Tenley the bumblebee (with her mouth full of cheese).

Goofy!

Mickey!
