Hello 2012

New Years Eve - dinner at Snuffer's, then home for games, Dick Clark's Rockin Eve, and sparkling apple cider! Woo Hoo...I know, we are PARTY ANIMALS.

 Parker couldn't stand it, had to give me a funny one

Almost midnight....Tyler didn't last, but Parker did - and we were losing our minds after a few cups of that sparkling juice!



Christmas 2011

I'm a bit behind, but here is a glimpse of our Christmas fun...

 Love this picture of Pops & Mimi with their Super Seven...

 Ok...so...my boys needed haircuts and I just didn't make it to Sports Clips before Christmas :)

 Uncle Tim and Kennedy = BFF's

 Someone was EXCITED about presents this year...

 Nothing like a WWE wrestling ring for Christmas :)

 For me...Christmas was about this cutehead....

 ...and this sweet thing...

 ...because this is what the older boys do now...BORING...

 Tyler was excited about the new Harry Potter game

 Parker loves a new jersery every year...

 The boys got a bunch of other stuff but were definitely MOST happy about the smallest package..

Their iPod touches!  Woo hoo...

We had a great Christmas and enjoyed spending time with our families!

Christmas Break!

School's out!  Parker enjoyed his last day of school eating popcorn, watching movies, drinking cocoa, and exchanging books with his friends!

 This is Parker's sweet friend, Berkley - they knew each other as babies and this year came full circle when they ended up in the same class at school!

 Parker and his buddy Jack

 One of the perks of our new school is the boys cousins go there too!  We ran into Sambo in the hall on Friday!

I think it's safe to say Parker feels "at home and extremely comfortable" with his new friends!

Thanksgiving 2011

Soccer Season Finale!

Soccer season is over.  Parker had a great season this Fall.  He scored the most goals on his team and really showed some new footwork and skills.  As good as he is at soccer, he is in LOVE with football and wants to play.  I think his coach knows he is leaving soccer, so he gave Parker a really sweet speech at the party and I think it was to try and convince him to stay...I have to say, I think I might miss it.

We'll see....

 Coach Ryon singing Parker's praises...so sweet!

 Parker with his good friends, Ella & Nash

Mommy is proud of him!



Veterans Day Program

Parker had his first program at his new school this past week.  The third grade did a Veteran's Day tribute.  They did a great job.  They honored the Veteran's that came to the program, and Pops came so he got to stand up and get letters of thanks written by the students!

 Parker singing with his class, he loves to sing so he did great!

 Pops receiving his letters and being recognized

Pops & Parker with Pops' Coast Guard picture...this was in the hallway at school

 Proud Tim

VERY proud Mom!

Blue Belt

Tyler has now passed another belt test in TaeKwanDo!  He worked really hard for this one.  He's did a great job and he will get his BLUE belt at class this week.  I'm SO proud of him!

 Breaking his board, this looked hard to me.  He had to do some kind of jump and spin around kick!

Pops & Mimi are proud too!



Harry Potter

Parker did a great job with his book character presentation at school this morning.  He was Harry Potter from HP2.  He had fun walking in the school parade too!  I kept missing him because we sprayed his hair dark - doesn't look like himself!

OCTOBER 2011

October has flown by this year....I can't believe it's almost Halloween!  We've been busy remodeling our new house and getting it ready to move in.  It always takes WAY longer than you planned.  NO WORRIES - we only own TWO houses right now. YIKES!!!  Prayers for our other to sell please.  We also went to Vegas with my family which SHOULD have been a great trip....EXCEPT it wasn't.  I fell just as the taxi pulled up to our house to take us to the airport.  Being the stubborn chick I am....I played it off as maybe a broken blood vessel or muscle or something....the longer we sat in the plane, the larger and greener my foot became.  We ended up at urgent care in Vegas and my foot was indeed broken.  So, Vegas consisted of me being wheeled around in a wheelchair and being cooped up in the hotel room watching movies.  NOT FUN.  I got the famous large boot when I got home and now am sequestered into it for a good six weeks.  Don't worry....it didn't stop me from taking the boys to the WORLD SERIES.  Couldn't pass up that opportunity!  GO RANGERS!

We had a great weekend of WINS.  Parker's soccer team won their game and he scored THREE goals!  Then we went to the Rangers game and had a much needed night of A LOT of FUN!
