My Baby Boy is 4!

Although we celebrated Jack's B-Day about two weeks ago while Daddy was home, we still had a small B-Day party for him on his REAL B-day! He didn't understand WHY he wasn't 4 after his first "party" however now he says he is 4 1/2 now that he had his REAL B-Day party! What a guy! At this rate he will be off to high school in no time!

Baptism

All the kids following the baptism

... and the proud "Fairy" GodMothers

Olivia, Gretta, Josie, and Quincy

On Sunday we had Kameron's "Keeping the Promise" for all members of the congregation that are beginning kindergarten. For those of you who don't know, Keeping the Promise is a renewal of the promises made during baptism, as children beigin a new chapter of their life. It is always extra special to me, and I love this program offered by our church!

Following our church service (from which we left a little bit early) we went to Quincy's Baptism. She looked beautiful in her gown, booties, and hat made by Laura's mom, Linda, wrapped in a gorgeous matching blanket. All four girls have now worn this beautiful gown, and all have looked equally beautiful wearing it. (NOT to mention VERY much alike!) What a beautiful day it was!

Fargo Air Show 2009

Police Pirate ?

There is NEVER a shortage of Dress Up Clothes in the Parker household, and as you can see, IT often get's used as well. After watching "Firehouse Dog" for movie night on Friday, Jaxon decided to dress up as a firefighter..... problem was..... Kameron had on the real firefighter gear, so Jack got the leftovers..... Adrian's police jacket and pirate hat. That didn't bother him in the least, he was proud to be a "Police Pirate Firefighter"! Looking back on this now, I wonder if the blister on his foot was because these old fire fighter boots were too small, or because they happen to be on the wrong feet? Hmmmmmm?

Garden Helpers

The kids are still getting use out of that John Deere Gator that Adrian received on his 3rd B-Day over five years ago, x 5 little kids... We have surely gotten our money's worth! Anyways, every time Daddy or I go out to pick beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, or onions, they pull up along side the garden to pile the produce in the back section. Today I asked them to get my two large red bowls first and then meet by the garden, but when I walked out there they were practicing safety first. The bowls had become their helmets instead. What good helpers I have, and I guess that goes to show, one can never be too safe!

Kindergarten

Now that Kameron is in Kindergarten I thought I would share his teacher's class website for family and friends to see! I still can't believe that he is old enough to be in Kindergarten, but I already know he's gonna have an awesome year! :) Enjoy!

Return to Daycare

Although we've had a great summer at home with Mommy (in Florida with Daddy), we were ready to return to daycare this morning to see Kim and our friends. The first thing Mommy heard at pick-up time was "No Time-outs". Kim confirmed that YES all three had a great day! We were all very thankful to be back into a routine, and even looked forward to naptime today after our busy summer!
