Visiting with Ellabeth & Anderson

Anderson was pretty relaxed on Grandma's lap

Parker just wanted to hang out with Mommy
Chloe & Ellabeth were big buddies. Playing on the stairs
is much more fun with a friend!

Loving Holiday Weekends

Congrats, Uncle Caleb!! We are proud of you and love you!!

Filling up the pool for some summer fun. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate the rest of the weekend to do any swimming...

Parker was just happy to hang out in his stroller and watch Big Sis.
Chloe loves to help Daddy but is still a girly girl hammering in her hot pink dress.

Parker loves his freedom that has come with crawling and is right on the heels of Chloe wherever she goes!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!

Blake's birthday was yesterday, but Chloe couldn't wait to give him his SpongeBob bobbers, a blue bobber she picked and a hot pink bobber that she picked out for him so he got those a day early.

Yesterday he got the rest of his gifts she had picked. Among other things, he got some blue cotton candy and a Dust Buster. Chloe was set on getting him a sweeper so we compromised and opted for the Dust Buster.

It's just not a birthday without party hats!

Feeling Photogenic...

Parker doesn't mind taking them, but Chloe is normally very anti-pictures. This weekend the mood struck her that she wanted to take some so we snapped away while it lasted!

Remodeling...

Blake is re-doing the garden pond. Chloe thought it was pretty neat to play in what will be the deepest part of the pond. We will post pictures of the final product when it is done!

Parker and Mommy had to give Chloe a hand after she hollered, "Help! I'm stuck!!"
Chloe was apparently surprised when she got the first push in the wheelbarrow.

Of course, Parker needed a ride too after seeing Big Sis...

Finally feeling better!!!

Parker is crawling (and slobbering) all over place now. He has two teeth on bottom and is working on some on the top.

Chloe preferred to hang out under the couch and watch SpongeBob rather than chase Parker around.

With the kids finally feeling better after a week of being sick, we took a walk and the kids rode in their cars. Parker got some brand new wheels and looks like Chloe has already outgrown her car from last year so she will be getting a new car too!

Parker loves it when Big Sis gives him attention!

Happy Mother's Day!!

For my first Mother's Day present from Chloe, I got a Weeping Willow Tree. It has grown quite a bit in two years!!

This year, I got a River Birch from Parker. It will be fun to watch them grow as the kids grow throughout the years!
