Whac-A-Mole

Rayden had been asking for the Whac-a-Mole game for a looooong time, so Grandma got it for her one day. She just had a blast playing it and Parker even joined in on the fun! Mostly I think he liked chewing on the hammer though!!

Aunt Ann's Visit

Aunt Ann, Ampa Larry and Grandma Becky came to visit a couple weekends ago. We all got together at Bryan and Renee's house for a BBQ! It was nice to finally meet Ann, and Jeff had not seen her in years. Rayden finally warmed up to her and now asks when she will see her again. It was so nice to visit with everyone.

Ampa and Grandma

Rayden and Parker had a very nice visit with Ampa and Grandma. Rayden was excited to see them again and Parker loved having everyone around to hold him!

Presents

Aunt Ann, Ampa Larry and Grandma Becky all brought presents with them for the kids. Rayden was very excited and loves all of the stuff she got.

Playing

All the kids of course had fun playing together.....guess I didn't have any pictures of Brady playing, but he was there too :) They all have such a great time together!

Parker's Elephant

Parker loves laying on the floor with his toys, especially with his blue elephant he got for Easter!

Hangin With Sissy

Just a few shots of Rayden and Parker hanging out together....and Parker's little ducky too, Rayden seems to think he always needs it right by him :) The two of them have a great time with each other. Parker thinks Rayden is so funny and she gets a kick out of him because he smiles so much at her.

3 Months Old!!

Our little peanut has been here for 3 months now.....wow! Time just flies by! Parker is doing more and more every day too. He now reaches out and grabs things from you and holds them, he is trying to laugh, but most of the time it sounds like coughing :) He has been rolling from his belly to his back since before he was 2 months old....he just doesn't like being on his tummy! He is getting a lot bigger, not sure what he weighs and he doesn't go in to see the doctor again until the 1st of May. He is out of his newborn clothes and can now wear all of his 0-3 months stuff! His room is almost completely done, so he will be moving into there soon instead of his little bassinet, which he is kinda starting to outgrow :)

Weekly Playdate

Every Monday we try to get together with my friends Shawna and Jen and their kids for a playdate. Rayden loves playing with C.J and Caitlyn, and Parker and Felicity are getting to be buddies! Felicity is about 2 1/2 months older than Parker. It is nice to get out of our house for a bit, I get to talk with friends and Rayden gets to run around and get out some of her energy. It was really nice this past Monday and the kids got to go outside and enjoy playing! Rayden always looks forward to these playdates.

"Chalks"

Lately Rayden has really enjoyed going outside on the porch and "doing chalks" as she says. She will stay out there for a long time and just color away. Of course her favorite thing to draw are little stick people.....she has gotten very very good at them :)

Rayden's Fort

My parents were remodeling parts of their kitchen, they put in a new floor and a new set of cabinets. Well Rayden loves the new cabinets and thinks that they are hers! She loves to go in there and play, eat, hide, and even says she is going to sleep in there :) Sometimes it is a fort or sometimes it is a castle....anything she wants it to be. She just loves to pretend. She isn't going to be very happy once all the stuff gets put in the new cupboard!

Parker's Room

The blanket that started it all.








This past weekend Jeff, my mom, Bonnie, Kathy and I all worked on painting Parker's new room. We all got the room painted on Friday and then on Saturday Bonnie and Kathy came in and drew all the animals on his walls by hand and then painted them! I think the big giraffe is my favorite! The room turned out so so super cute and everyone worked so hard getting it done. The only things left to do now are the touchups, the ceiling and then putting the room together. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work and it wouldn't have gotten done without you! :)
