Parker's in Double Digits
Alex --
Luke --
Meagan -- love the ponytail!!
Little Boy Wonder --
After a lot of fun in the sun, we headed back to my mom's for a little volleyball --
And a few presents --
Parker really wanted to take Hayden around the neighborhood on Poppy's golf cart, but we decided it probably wasn't the best idea!!
Overall, it was a super fun day for the birthday boy!
Parker is an incredible young man with an incredible brain!! It is really neat to watch him try to figure something out or think things through in a different way. There are no pretenses with Parker - you can always tell exactly how he feels about something because it's written all over his face (and sometimes his body!!). He can be extremely caring and kind, but not always with his brothers!! He loves to read though he might not admit it if you asked him. If he finds himself idle, (eating breakfast, riding in the car) he will always look for something to read. He loves to be with his friends, but he's also fine by himself. He can be the crazy one in a crowd or he can be the loner off in the corner. He loves to build, loves Legos, loves anything that moves. He's an amazing dude and it will be fun to watch as his future unfolds.
Happy 10th birthday Parker (a little late!!)

Now why didn't I think of that?
P: Hey Mom -- what does that cloud look like to you??
M: Well, it kind of looks like a fish ... see the opening there and the fins at the top and the bottom?
P: A fish??
M: Yeah, it's definitely a fish. (of course, it's as plain as day that it's a fish to me!!)
P: Well, I don't see a fish AT ALL. That just doesn't make sense.
M: So what do you see?
P: It's definitely a two-headed wolf without a neck!!
Of course it is!!

My Mom's Day
Duct tape - they must be males, right??
After a lot of kickball, we came in and watch America's Funniest Videos . . . always a winner here at our house!! When I came down the stairs from watching TV, the dishes were done, the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded with the dirty dishes. Amazing!! THAT was the best gift of all!!
And because I'm not a cat person and I don't want Deneise to see how cute these little kittens are, I want to share of few pics of the growing babies!!
We took them all out of the box to see what they would do, and this one decided he/she really liked the box better than the outside world!!
Even Angel is getting back to her old self. She decided to get back to the trees on this, her first Mother's Day!!
:)
Mom's Day
So Mom, thanks for being you!! You've been so many things to me throughout my life and for all of those things, I am grateful!!
I heard this song this week on the radio and was reminded of the time we saw this funny lady at Women of Faith a couple of years ago. Funny stuff!!

Crazy boys
We had a little excitement this afternoon when Parker decided to join a game of kickball going on in the front yard and thought it would be a good idea to put his less-than-two-weeks-old glasses on the back of Scott's car for safe keeping.
Can you see where this is going??
When he came in a little later without his glasses on, I casually asked where they were. He responded equally as casually, "on the back of dad's car." To which I replied, "the one that he took when he left a few minutes ago??!!"
We all went outside to look around and couldn't find those glasses anywhere. I called Scott and he hadn't seen them on the car so we all went back out to find what was left of the glasses. We started walking down the road and miraculously, on the main road, about 2 houses down, were Parker's glasses!! They had a couple of little spots on them from their fall from the car, but otherwise, were fine!!
The kitties are growing and have all opened their eyes. Landry was telling my mom about them the other day and she asked him what they were eating. He responded with "they eat titty food." Well, of course, they do!!
We're still working on that speech!!
