Two Days Later!

Two days after the snow it was about 67 degrees here so we took a walk to the elementary school in our neighborhood and played on the playground. Parr and Michael also played baseball. We let Parr ride his bike there so it took us a little while to get there!

The kids had so much fun! I love watching them play!

Playing in the tunnel! Parr was excited that katie could do this with him!

After sliding with Parr she kept trying to climb up the slide to go again!

They both loved this!!!

So big!

I loved watching her watch her shadow. So cute!

In deep conversation! He is his daddy's biggest fan and I just love it! Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!

"Hey, I can play baseball too!"

Pre game run!haha

Snow 2011

We got our first and only snow of the year and Parr was super excited! It didn't last long but we did get to go out and sled down our driveway for the morning. After Katie went down for a nap Parr, mommy and daddy enjoyed the snow. It was gone by the next day but at least we got to enjoy it some!

This was what Parr used to slide down the driveway! His Perry sign!

Snowball fight!!!

He and Daddy had so much fun!

Don't know who was having more fun!

Katie got to go out for just a minute to feel the snow

We had given in because this is what she did while we stepped out to see the snow. It was pitiful!

Katie's first trip to zoo!

Allison and I took all the kids to the zoo the other day and it was Katie's first time. She was really intrigued by the goats and even fed them a little. Parr and Carter had a blast and Carter laughed so hard at the goats. Tyler did great and just hung out!

Katie is growing so fast! She is 10 mths walking and running! She weighs 23 lbs! She will say, "yes", "no", "momma", "dada", "ocar" (oscar, our dog), "gar" (parr), and "nana" for banana or her grandmother!haha

Attempting to get a sibling picture!

Oops More pics!

Billy the Exterminator!

As I mentioned before Billy the Exterminator is Parr's favorite show, so on the way back to Texas from Arkansas we stopped in Shreveport and visited Vexcon. Parr was so pumped and very star struck! We saw Ricky and he wouldn't get a picture because he was so nervous! The lady there couldn't have been any nicer and let us walk around and see everything. We had so much fun and will never forget that trip and the look on his face!

Happy 4th Birthday, Parr!

On December 29th Parr turned 4! I cannot believe he is 4! We were in Arkansas still so we made our annual birthday trip to Johnny's Pizza with Nana, Gran Nana, Gran, Grumps, Macie, and Bryce. Parr was super excited Macie and Bryce were there!

Since we had already celebrated his birthday when we were in San Diego we didn't do a big party. Parr, Nana and I made some fancy cupcakes (per parr's request because we love cupcake wars!)

I cannot believe the love and joy this child has brought to Michael and I. He is such a loving, funny, imaginative, thoughtful boy and also ALL BOY!!!! He can love on me in one minute and then have me tied up trying to arrest me the next!haha Arresting us is his favorite thing to do! His favorite shows and movies are Billy the Exterminator, America's funniest home videos, Caillou, all of the Home Alone Movies, Marmaduke, and Diary of a Wimpy kid. He loves to read books and is really getting interested in reading himself. He eats just about anything and is really good about eating fruits and veggies.

He would rather be outside than anything and loves playing with his best bud and neighbor, Alex.

If you ever tell him something once he will not forget it! I can't believe how good his memory is and wish I had just a little of it! Parr loves his preschool class and his teachers Ms. Gina and Ms. Raquel. We feel so blessed to have them. They agree his imagination is unreal! I think it exhausts them a little!haha

At his 4 yr check up he weighed 41 1/4 pounds and was 41 1/2 in in height. 90 % in both. Dr. Brown feels like he is on track to be 6 ' 1" 6' 2"!

We Love our little man so much and look forward to many more exciting and joyful years!

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas this year with two kids! Parr was so much fun and loves the whole Christmas season so much! We start listening to Christmas music and watching the movies in october! I am so happy that he gets in to it so much and hope that he is like his mommy and continues to forever. Katie was fun too and of course loved all of the paper! I didn't have as many pictures as I thought. I guess too kids messed my picture taking up a little this year! I will get better!

We traveled to Arkansas again this year and really enjoyed getting to be with our family for the holidays. Thanks so much to our parents for such a wonderful time and memorable Christmas!

Katie started walking at Christmas! That made the holidays so fun and interesting! I can't believe she walked at almost 10 months! She was so proud of herself!

After Christmas, mommy and daddy got to go to New Orleans to watch the Razorbacks in the Sugar Bowl! We had so much fun! Gran Nana, Ju JU and Uncle Chris went with us! Thank you Nana for keeping the kids. We really enjoyed our adult time and missed the kids too! Much needed little mini vacation! Sad they lost :(

Here is a picture of Katie and her cousin John Henry. They really had a blast together playing with each others toys

Parr got a bounce house! He was so excited!

Sweet baby

Silly boy! He loved his "billy" tent and put all of his presents in it!

Santa also brought him a new bike! He is really getting good at riding it

Discovering the bounce house!

Katie loved her first baby stroller! Katie didn't have as much as Parr this year and when we came downstairs Parr said "she must not have been good this year"! I explained she was younger, etc..

Parr's loot from Santa!

Cookies and Milk for Santa and carrots for reindeer

Katie's cute hat from her aunt and uncle!

Loves the paper!

John Michael being brave and entertaining Katie!

Happy 1st Christmas Sweet Girl!

A few weeks before Christmas we went with some friends and Aunt Allison, Bob bob, Carter, and Tyler to ride the North Pole Flyer. The boys had a blast! Parr brought his best friend Hayden and his other best friend PJ came with his parents so he was so excited!

Hayden giving a big smile!
