Parker at 9 months

This little toot is already 9 months old!  I can't believe it.  She's finally crawling all over the place and starting to pull up on things.  She is such a content and happy baby. She loves to just sit in the middle of the floor and play with her toys (or whatever toy Hayden happens to be playing with... haha).  She eats like a bird and never fusses unless she's hungry or tired.  She even puts herself to sleep when I put her in bed.  We couldn't ask for a better baby.  We're so lucky God blessed us with this sweet baby girl!

Good neighbors

We moved to a new house a couple of weeks ago.  We're so excited to have more space for all of our stuff, but we were so sad to leave our favorite neighbors!  Hayden and Emma are less than a week apart in age and have been great buddies.  Hayden is always clicking around in Emma's play high heels and Emma is always playing with Hayden's trucks.  They get along so well.  And Emma's family is pretty cool too (they even have a bounce house!)   It's been great to live next door to them for the past 5 years.  We feed each others dogs, borrow food items, throw our kids over the fence to play, etc.  Hayden thinks Emma and her family should just move to our new neighborhood, next door if possible (if only it was that easy!)  Wouldn't it be awesome to pick our neighbors.... just make the current residents move out and move your friends in?  Sounds like a great idea to me!  (-:

Here's a couple of pictures I took right before we moved.  Thanks McKnight family for always being good GREAT neighbors!

More snow!

We got more snow and this time there wasn't as much wind, so we decided to get out and play!  Stephanie took the day off work and Dana's school was closed, so we had lots of friends to play with.  Stephanie had been wanting to take the kids sledding at Fowler Elem. before all the snow melted, so we went for it.  We didn't have any sleds, so we used the next best thing - laundry baskets & large tupperware lids!  The kids had a blast and thanks so much to Dana and Stephanie for trudging up the mountain while I took pictures and sat in the warm car with the babies (Maren & Parker)!

Little red wagon

Hayden's been dying to go for a wagon ride, but with all the snow lately, I've been putting him off.  Monday, it finally got a little warmer and most of the snow had melted, so off we went!  Parker really enjoyed it too.  I have a feeling we're going to get alot of use out of this wagon this summer (-:

SNOW!!!

We got a ton of snow at the beginning of February.  Hayden was in heaven!  It was soooo cold though.  Negative wind chills and lots of wind accompanied this storm so we had to wait a while before we went out.  And even then, we could only stay out for about twenty minutes before we were freezing.  Just the weekend before it was 70 degrees!  Our weather is crazy lately.  Here's some fun pictures of time in the snow!

Parker and I just came out for a minute to get a picture.  Her little cheeks were freezing!

Hayden would've played all day if we would've let him.  He was so sad to come in, even though his teeth were chattering.  haha

Hayden wanted a pic with Parker in the snow.  She was so nice to oblige (-:

8 months!

Parker is 8 months old.... crazy!  She's so close to crawling, I just keep thinking everyday she's going to take off.  She wants so badly to keep up with Hayden so I think it won't be long now!
