So You Think You Can Dance!

A few months ago Heather and I bought tickets to So You Think You Can Dance. We've been anticipating it ever since. We weren't disapointed. It was such a fun experience. I'm glad I was able to share it with my awesome sister.

Heather and I outside the Jobing.com arena.

In front of the stage. We scored seats in the middle section only 16 rows from the stage. We ended up sitting next to Robert's brother who gave us back stage passes. We were so lucky!

Robert was the first dancer we met backstage.

Me and Adechicke.

Dominic. I was trying out my "cool" face. Didn't work out so well.

Heather and Kathryn. Her favorite dancer.

Me and Russel. Season 6 winner.

Thank you SYTYCD for putting on such an amazing show!!!

Chucky Cheese

For our niece, Maddy, and our nephew, Cooper, we all went to Chucky Cheese to celebrate their birthday. I stole these picture from Shane's step-mom Kim. Thanks Kim!

Parker had a blast riding the kiddie rides

...and going down the slide.

Ok. It doesn't look like he was having a blast here.



Ignore the situation in the background. Our nephew Blake got cake on his pants.

My favorite boys.

Happy Birthday Maddy and Cooper!

Scott's Birthday

On October 22nd Scott turned 19. I can't believe how fast he's grown up... even though I see him all the time. Right now he is finishing up the semester at the local community college. He is thinking about majoring in Culinary Arts.

Me and Parker

Here's o ur beautiful mom.

Birthday boy Scott

My mom had this awesome pirate cake made for him.

Our Halloween Turtle

Parker was a little turtle for Halloween. And a dang cute one I might add.

On Friday evening we had our ward's Trunk or Treat. He was so tired that he just let us push him around in his stroller while he hung on the basket as people put candy into it.

The second night was a little different. He was so wired that he kept dumping out the candy and munching on the basket. He even ate a hole through a kit-kat. Trick or treating didn't last so long that night.

You can really see his hazel eyes in this one.

Acting so cool. He loves being the center of attention. He must get that from Mom. =)

At nine months, so in September, Parker started to walk. It was a few steps at first then before we knew it he was off and walking. Here are some videos. Sorry if they switch angles and that there's no sound. But we hope you enjoy!

Disneyland!

My blogging is so far behind...

In September somehow the entire family decided to join in on Heather and Brett's trip to Disneyland. We're sure glad we did. It was just over the weekend but we had a ton of fun.

Thanks Heather and Brett for letting us ambush your trip!

My b-day

I celebrated my 24th birthday with the fam. We had a great time. Here are some pics.

Scott and Parker

I got a lot of bling.

Here we are playing the "What If?" game. It's a ton of fun.

I had a lot of candles to blow out.

Thanks family! We had a good time!

All Parker All The Time

At seven months Parker started to learn how to crawl. He gets easily distracted by the camera so I had to put my phone in front of it to capture his crawling skills.

Right around the same time he learned how to pull himself up. Shane bought him this awesome toy which he LOVES.

8 MONTHS:
Our little baby loves his naps. I had to get a sleeping picture because it's been a while.

This was after he woke up.
"Mom, can we turn the flash off please?"


"Mom... MOM!"

Ready to be out of his crib.

REALLY ready.


This was last Sunday. He was trying to help Dad make lunch.


Playing around with Mom at night.

I love this picture because you can see his beautiful green eyes.

He likes to kiss the baby in the mirror. =)

Showing off his standing skills.


"What?"



Here's Parker crawling just a few nights ago. It's crazy how fast he is now. He was going to pull himself up on the wall, but then remembered he was showing off for the camera.

He just recently discovered his wrists. Here he is showing off his rattle.

A new development, which I'll soon have to capture on camera, is that Parker is trying to stand by himself without holding on to anything. He can stand for 10-20 seconds before trying to grab back on to something or fall on his rear.

Hope you've enjoyed the Parker updates!!!
