Mt. Nebo

We went up to Mt. Nebo at the end of our Spring Break. It was beautiful and we all had such a good time!!

We hiked around on a trail for a bit. Parker loves hiking! Climbing on rocks is his favorite part! Being 2 sure doesn't stop him! 

 The views are spectacular! 

 He was pretty happy to be on top of a mountain!

 Oh my sweetness!

 Parker was able to join a class to talk about some animal tracks, pick out one, 

 and make soap!

 Parker (and Daddy) made green fox track soap! 

It was such a great little trip. We are looking forward to going back and doing some more activities!! 

Spring Break

Our Spring Break has been very relaxing! My brother is visiting us and we are loving it! Parker really likes having his Uncle Justin here!

I hope that the rest of our break is just as amazing as the first part!!!

Our Creek Adventure

It was a beautiful day out yesterday so we decided to go on an adventure! We went to our favorite creek that has lots of big rocks to climb, many trails to walk, and lots of space to explore! Parker loved every minute of it! He is fearless just like his Daddy!!!

 See what I mean, fearless!

 Here is Mommy. Sitting safely, so not to trip over something and fall! :-)

 We found many sticks that needed to splash in the water!

Discover the Dinosaurs!

 This AWESOME exhibit came to my Mom's town so her and I took Parker! It was such an amazing day! 

I was worried *really worried* that Parker would get in there and be scared to death of all the big dinosaurs but he was thrilled!!! Whew! 

The dinosaurs were truly amazing! Mom and I had just as much fun as Parker did! 

Here are some highlights from our day!

(I was so upset for leaving my camera at home. Thank you iphone for taking decent pictures!)

 He called this one "Sara" from The Land Before Time movies!

And this was "Grandpa Longneck" from The Land Before Time movies! 

 "Sharp Teeth"  

 Nana helped him be brave and touch the leg!

 It was HIS idea to get in the mouth!! He was laughing so hard!

 He got to dig for fossils too!!

 And ride on little dinos! 

He left with a "Grandpa Longneck" tshirt, stuffed dino, coloring book, and a dino light saber! He was happy and exhausted. He fell asleep in the car on the way back to mom's! 

A truly perfect day! 

We are Still Here, I Promise!

My computer and I aren't getting along. And we haven't been for quite some time now. It decided to stop turning on right after Christmas. Frustrating!

Keith got it turned on today for me to make sure I had all our pictures saved onto my hard drive so that we can take the laptop to get fixed.

So here is our life lately:

• Crazy cold winter! Lots of ice/snow storms. Lots of snow/ice days at home. Extra time with my Parker is wonderful!!!
• Snow days at home now means no breaks throughout the rest of the school year other than Spring Break and each day we miss, we are tacking on to the end of the year. 
• My brother has spent a few weekends here with us!
• The Broncos lost the superbowl :-( but I still love Peyton Manning! 
• Parker had yet another virus that caused him to miss a week of school. Huge thanks to hubby and Nana for helping me out so that I didn't miss the whole week! 
• We had the 100th Day of School! My Kinders love this day so, so much!
• Another winter storm is on its way. Possibly more snow days at home in our future. 
• Had some wonderful visits with my bestie and Kevin & Veronica! 
• Parker and his cousin Noah played and played during our visit. They are only 5 months apart and its precious to watch them play!!
• Parker is still rocking the potty training business!

Nothing special has been going on but it has been a happy time! I've missed blogging and enjoyed the break at the same time!! Maybe I'll be back soon. Darn computer! 

Christmas Day 2013

Parker was feeling a bit better and he enjoyed opening presents on Christmas Day!

When we woke up we opened our gifts/stockings from Santa Claus!

 He loves flashlights!

 He was VERY excited about his own "ipad"!!! It's actually an InnoTab3s but he calls it his ipad! 

 Then we headed to my Mom's for Christmas! We had a full house and boy did it make my heart happy!

Doing tricks with Molly!

My momma and bubba! Couldn't love them more!

We had such a great day! Parker is loved by so many! We have done LOTS of cleaning out, packing things he has outgrown, donating toys to Helping Hands, and re-arranging to make room for the new toys!
