Parker's First Day of Preschool

Parker's First Day of Preschool (this school year)

Parker goes to a private preschool 3 days a week and LOVES it!  He told me the other day, "I love school!  I wish I could go everyday!"   I will have to remind him when he is in high school  :)

Tyler's Birthday

 Tyler Turns 3!

Corn Picking

Late in August we got to go pick corn as a family.  It was the first time for all of us in a corn field.  We ended up getting more corn than we knew what to do with, but we had fun.  I had cute pictures of Tyler and my mom, but due to some unfortunate phone troubles, I don't have them anymore :)

 

Family Portrait

Here is our family portrait today according to Parker.

Good day

This face is evidence of a good day. Lots of digging in the dirt and eating yummy food.

Reverence

At church on Sunday Tyler was talking in his usual loud voice.  The lady behind us who often talks to the boys leaned forward, "Tyler, shhhhh....we need to be quiet to be respectful to Jesus."  Tyler turned his head and looked at the man at the pulpit and casually responded, "That's not Jesus!"

Parker's in Charge

Conversation with Parker a couple days ago...

Me:  I'm tired.  Can I go take a nap?
Parker: Sure
Me: Ok, Who's going to be in charge?
Parker: Me!
Me: Ok, who's going to feed Tessa?
Parker: I am
Me: What are you going to feed her?
Parker: Broccoli
Me: Where are you going to get broccoli?
Parker: At the grocery store
Me: How are you going to get there?
Parker:  You just turn left and then right and then you're there!


I guess it's that simple!

The Best Part of Baking - Licking the Bowl

Parker is quite fond of helping me cook in the kitchen.  He will taste whatever is in the mixing bowl regardless of what stage of adding the ingredients that we are in.  But licking the finished product - that is the best part!  Tyler agrees!

Proud Brothers

All Dressed Up

All dressed up to show off at daddy's office.(attempted picture without the pacifier)

Introducing Tessa Mae Davidson

Meet Tessa Mae Davidson. She was born on August 3rd at 1:08pm. She was 7 lbs 14 oz. She has dark hair right now - we'll see if it lasts. She looks a lot different than her brothers. So far she is very even-tempered and we are having fun with a newborn around again.

Park Days

Julie, Clemie, and Lily have been visiting from Denver for about a week. We have been spending lots and lots of time at the park with these four little monkeys. Parker & Clemie have spent lots of time playing on the playgrounds, giggling, (some fighting), and having fun. Tyler has loved the freedom to run around in wide open spaces investigating whatever strikes him at the moment. Lily has practiced walking for hours. She has gone from pretty much refusing to try to taking lots of steps all on her own. We're having lots of fun!

The Danger of Taking A Shower ....

...and leaving a 3 year-old to his own devices.

So rude!

A few minutes ago as we were driving in the car, Parker ripped Tyler's pacifier out of his mouth and threw it on the floor for the 3,851st time. "Parker" I reminded him, "it's not nice to steal Tyler's pacifier. How would you like it if he took the Batman that you are playing with?" To which he responded in a very sad voice: "Tyler's always takes my Batman. It's so rude!"
Funny, funny boy!

New Seats

Now that Tyler is 1, Parker got a new car seat and Tyler moved up to Parker's seat. Parker was VERY excited about his new seat!
