Sarah's passion

I forgot to mention in my post yesterday about Sarah's tennis playing. Lately her and another sister from the ward, Janine Tanner, have been playing tennis 3 times a week at 6 in the morning! Thats too early for me. I work nights and am barely going to bed by 5 am. Well she has been getting really good and between her and Sister Tanner they have been getting a lot of the ward motivated to play. This thursday they are hosting a tennis clinic for whoever is interested. Im just glad she has finally got a dedicated tennis partner so she will stop dragging me out of bed at the break of dawn to go play :) Just kidding, we still go play occasionally (just not in the morning).

Another picture of Parker

Wanted to post one more picture to emphasize Parker's "chubbiness". My Dad said he kinda looked like the Michelin tire guy, so I thought I would post a comparison and see what everyone else thinks lol.

Its been a while...

Here's a cute picture of Parker. He's been growing up so fast and getting really chubby!

Jayden and Ammon in their Sunday best one day before church doing their "serious" pose.

This is an example of Sarah's artistic picture taking! Notice their shirts. That was Sarah's idea.

Grandpa cook decided to buy some pink hairspray for the dog, so of course the kids had to get in on the action. For those who dont know the child on the left is Jayden and Ammon's cousin Will.

"My precious..."

Hey all sorry its been so long since our last post. We have just been enjoying the summer and the time off school. Ive also been to lazy to do anything new :( Well anywho, I wont make this long just thought I would post a few pictures to update on Parker growing up and some of the goofy things the kids have been doing. There really hasn't been anything new or exciting going on, just a lot of lazy summer days (my favorite!). We did catch a toad on one of our family walks which was pretty exciting expecially for the kids. Darn thing peed all over me though...

Kite flying!

Wow two posts within a week. I'm on a role. Well, I ditched class the other day to spend some time with the fam and we decided to go fly a kite! It was a perfect day for it. The sun was out and the wind was blowing pretty good. We had a fun time and the boys sure loved it. In fact, the wind was so good that we didn't have to put much effort at all into flying the kite. We just kind of stood there holding the string and the kite flew itself.

Check out my mad kite flying skills! No hands!

Once we let Ammon fly the kite and sure enough he let go. The kite started to fly away until the string got caught on a fence. Amazingly the kite just stayed there flying itself. It was pretty funny.

Parker's Blessing

Hello All!

Well its been over a month since our last post. I'm really bad at this and I hope you all haven't given up on us. There really hasn't been anything new in our lives until sunday when we blessed Parker in church. It was nice to have all the family come visit us and show their support. Although, my wonderfully punctual brother Cory walked in just after we had started the blessing and didn't get to stand in the circle. What a slacker! Just kidding Cory if you read this. I felt bad because there were two blessings and they asked us to go first and I didn't have the guts to get up and ask the bishopric if we could go second. So it's mostly my fault...your still a slacker though Cory...j/k. Well anyway, here a few pictures of the family and Parker. The first few are of Parker in a spider costume. We figured he was going to be too big for it by the time Halloween roles around. The next one is on the day we blessed Parker. The last couple are just a couple cute ones of Jayden. In one he is talking to Grandma Whetton while trying to keep a binky in Parker's mouth at the same time. He is such a good big brother!

Parker is getting big so fast. We can tell he is going to be a happy baby. He loves to smile and is always so content. We are truly blessed to have three wonderful boys. They are truly a joy in our lives (most of the time). It makes school a little tougher but it's worth it!
