Boy Scouts Fun Day

Adrian had an excellent time at "The Boy Scouts Fun Day" with Carter and Scott on Saturday. There were many games and activities for the boys to participate in, but according to Scott (Carter's dad), Adrian's favorite one was archery. There was also wall climbing, sword making, and sling shots available to all the scouts. Thanks Scott for giving the boys this great opportunity, and for taking such GREAT pictures for all to see! Looks like the boys had a BLAST! As you can see by the pictures Adrian is now in the Wolf group (yellow) instead of a Tiger Cub (orange) like he was last year! Way to Go Adrian for finding something you really love and sticking with it! Keep up the good work!

First Black Stripe

Here is Kameron in action at TaeKwonDo. Last week he earned his first black stripe on his white belt. Once he earns a total of four black stripes he is ready to test for advancement for his next belt. Best of Luck to you Kameron! Keep up the Good Work. Daddy and I are so proud of you!

My lil' boy is growing up!

Here are Jaxon's 4-year-old pics.

Bowling Party!

Our friend, Josephine, invited us to join her for her 9th B-Day Bowling Bash! As you can see there was a great turnout, and a whole lot of F U N!

Happy 9th B-Day Josephine! We had a super FUN time at your party this weekend! We can't wait to go bowling again sometime soon! :) Love ya! The Parkers

Super Tots

YEAH!!! Jayden, Jaxon, and Kierra have advanced from Tumble Tots to Super Tots in gymnastics! They are thrilled to be back in their gymnastics routine after taking both summer sessions OFF! Here are a few pictures to show them IN action! It's pretty fun to see how much they have learned this past year, since they first started gymnastics. Adrian and Kameron love watching them as well, since there is a pretty advanced Gymnastics II class going on across the gym at the same time as ours! FUN for the whole family! :)

Artsonia

F.Y.I. For those of you interested, Adrian and Kameron's teachers are now displaying student artwork on Artsonia.com! If you have a moment please check it out. Adrian899 has a sunflower art project, and Kameron350 has a color wheel mouse displayed. They will try to update this monthly so be sure to check back often! You gotta just LOVE technology! :)

White Belt

Kameron and friend, Lauren, got their new uniforms fitted tonite at Tae Kwon Do. Kameron was so excited that they got to wear their jackets tonite, but he is even more excited about his white belt. (You can wash the uniform mom, but you can NOT wash my white belt!) He is already learning so much, and I love the lessons that have been taught already in the short couple weeks since he has started! Keep up the good work Kam!

Happy Grandparent's Day!

WISHING ALL OF YOU GRANDPARENTS OUT THERE A VERY HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO's from ALL the Parker Kids!!!

Rally Sunday

Here are the Tiny Tots singing before Sunday School. I can't believe ALL my children are now old enough to attend Sunday School! Kierra's first day was today, and as you can see by her smiley face in the third row right by BIG sister she was JUST fine without Mommy! I'm not sure what I will do with an hour to myself every Sunday, or uninterrupted coffee hour at church, but somehow I'll manage? :)

Surprise Visit

So.... there we were.... just returned home from Tae Kwon Do and decided to go for a family bike ride, when I hear a voice say, "Tanya" coming from the end of the driveway! I looked up only to see a much taller, more mature Tiffini walking towards the kids and I. It took us all about a minute or two to even recognize that it was her! Her brother had a football game at the school, and her mom allowed her to stop by to see if we were home. This short visit turned into a bike ride venture with us, and some time spent together with the kids on the trampoline. We had a good visit, exchanged cell phone numbers once again, and she told Adrian, Kameron, Jayden, Kierra, and Jack that she would be back for a longer visit sometime if that was okay with "Mom". The kids were so very excited to see her, and although it's been quite some time since they saw her last, after two years of living with us, they still have quite a connection to her. She was just as patient, caring, and helpful to them as I remembered her to be! What a pleasant surprise!

Preschool GIRL!

HOORAY! Today is the Day! It's finally MY turn to go to school!

Here I am right inside my classroom door! I brought my tennis shoes for Gross Motor Group today, whatever that is?!? "What is Phy Ed Mom?" I asked on the way from daycare to school!

Here is my teacher! Her name is Julienne! She is very nice!

3 minutes in my brand new classroom and look: Friends, Toys, and FUN all around! See ya mom! I didn't know why Mommy thought she had to hang around, but she seemed to think she did! :)

Here I am after a long day at school.... relaxing at the Jump Start Kindergarten computer game in Mommy's classroom! Boy...... Preschool is HARD work, and just think NO MORE NAPS for me because I go to PM preschool! I'm sure I'll manage .... somehow!

Love, Jayden
