Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th Everyone!!

We had my Mom, Grandma, and brother over today for a cookout lunch! 

There was lots of food and lots of playing!

American Flag cookies!
 I made cake mix cookies for the first time and omg! they are yummy!

So glad that my brother was able to come!

Water gun fight!

Love this!

Caught in mid-run :-) 

It was a great day! Of course Keith had to work (boo) so he left us at about 3:00.

 He grilled some delicious homemade hamburgers, two kinds of pork loin, and bbq chicken! We also had lemonade pie and cookies for treats! 

Who Had a Busy Day?

We did! 

Okay, so a few weeks ago the top little button on my iphone quit working. Man, you don't realize how much you like something until it goes away. I was not happy about this. So Hubby made us an appointment at the apple store and today we made the 2 hour trek that direction!

{Parker is such an awesome baby boy! He didn't fuss at all. Not on the drive or in the stores!}

Apple replaced my broken phone with a brand new one! Thank you warranty! 

Since the store was in a Promenade, we headed on over to Crazy 8. This place is one of my favs to get Parker's clothes. He got a pair of jean shorts, khaki shorts, and 3 short sleeved t-shirts. His summer wardrobe is now beginning. Oh, and we had to buy the next size up. 

18-24 months. He is growing!

We then had a nice little lunch at Chik-Fil-A before we stopped by the Guitar Center. 

Hubby and Parker love guitars.

Like seriously LOVE!  Those 2 were in guitar heaven.

 And when we spotted the keyboards/pianos, Parker just had to try them out. 

Our journey continued to the military base where Hubby bought a lot of patches/stripes for his dress uniform. They have new dress uniforms now and his old patches needed updated! Plus he had earned a few more things! Proud of my Hubby! 

The ride home went a little faster it seemed like. We had a pit stop at Dairy Queen for dinner. It was so good! Then we hit the back roads the rest of the way and looked at houses and just enjoyed the drive! It was a good {long} day and we were all very glad to be home! 

At This Moment

* As much as I love my job, I'm not at all ready to go back on Monday. Being home with Parker is amazing and I'm blessed to have holidays and summers off.

* The Olympics are my favorite.

* I have been working on feeding Parker a lot of real food and it's safe to say that he is not a big fan just yet. 

* I'm looking forward to introducing Parker to his new sitter and could use some prayers for when I have to leave him. He will love her but it's going to take him some time to adjust back to not having me all day every day. 

* I have moments when my heart absolutely breaks at the thought of dropping him off. And when I do leave him, well, you Mommy's that work know how I feel. 

Can you tell I have a bit of depression about going back?

Day 1: Cereal With A Spoon!

Day 1: Sunday, Feb. 19th
What. A. Mess.
But oh the memories that were made! We laughed so hard at all the faces he made!
At the beginning he would grab the spoon and take it to his mouth! :-)

You want me to do what?! 

Oh wow, that's different! 

I like it! Mmmm!

All gone! And all over my face, bib, clothes, bumbo, and Mommy!
