Random Kid Pics Update

I can't believe how much the kids are changing. Parker is walking all over the place now. Isabelle is becoming quite the little character. They are both tons of fun and I think, pretty good kids. We are having a blast.
Isabelle loves to walk around with her babies, she is so good at talking care of them. Here she is wearing her reading glasses, like momma does, telling her baby that everything is okay.

Couldn't resist taking this picture, he just passes out when he is sleeping, and I think it is so cute.
Here, she is telling me about her tattoo, just like Daddy's. I know, but I laughed so hard, it is sweet how much of a daddy's girl she really is, she wants to be just like him.Their really good buds, and I love that they get along so well.

She loves to pose for pics, so not her mother's daughter.

Graceland, what better way to say I love you?!?

For our anniversary, we decided to make a trip to Memphis, and what would a trip to Memphis be without a meander through Graceland. I am not really gonna blog about it, more of a been there, done that sort of thing, but thought I would share some highlights for those who are fans or are simply curious. Enjoy....

Parker Turns 1!!!

Isabelle was super excited to open presents, because of course she got to do most of the work and his presents meant more toys for her.

Philip shows the kids how it works.

It's cake time, everyone's favorite apart. Again, Isabelle was excited because she got to blow out the candle.


Do you think he liked it?Isabelle enjoyed hers too.

Basket Ball

I am always amazed by Isabelle's imagination. Sure she has imaginary friends, but so did I and so did my mom, so it's in the genes. She also loves to pretend all sorts of fun games, and she is constantly telling us "jokes." They are obviously hilarious because she can hardly get through them, she is laughing so hard. We understand very little of them but we laugh, mostly because it's just so cute.

She decided that she wanted to empty the basket that holds the baby toys so that she could play "basket-ball." I don't think we talk about that sport that much, no hoop or ball outside, but she decided to play her own game. However, by the time I had gone to get the camera, she had moved on to a new game: sitting in the basket with Parker. He didn't seem to mind and it kept him busy for about 5 minutes. Did I mention that he is a busy baby?!?! Into everything, and he is fast. I have a feeling we are gonna have some "fun" when he starts running/walking.

It's a poor action shot, but I was trying to catch Parker doing his new favorite thing...waving!

We're growing!....Finally!

The first picture was taken last July. I realize that was a long time ago, but I want you to see the dramatic change. At the time the first picture was taken, Parker was two months old and still looked a little like a premie at the neonatal ward. Look how spindly his poor little legs are.


Now he has grown so much.........Granted, he is still in the 15th percentile, but some much more proportionate. He is such a happy baby and loves to smile. We are enjoying him so much. I love watching he and Isabelle play!
