  • Parker Karate birthday

    Pics of Parker cutting the cake at his 4th birthday party.  The kids performed feats of phsyical prowess, and then came the junk food and cutting of the cake with a giant samurai sword.

    Not sure why it looks like the instructor is getting ready to decapitate Parker in one of the images, but I assure you he was perfectly safe.  They did a great job and even mom and dad got to break some wood blocks.  Super fun!

     

  • Miracle on Safa Ct – Christmas

    Mommy’s big gift this year was a movie by Skylar and Parker. We followed the ups and downs of the two young children as they try to find the right gift for their mom. Will they succeed, or will the Grinch steal Christmas… In the end, love triumphs all.

  • Fishing with friends

    Skylar’s best friend Sydney from pre-school moved to Maryland over the summer.  We went to visit them and do some fishing.  The kids caught alot of fish!

  • Story time

    I recorded the kids telling me their own stories.

  • May Camping

    We went camping at Burke Lake. It was an interesting place – they had a kids train that ran through the property and must have been over a mile long.

    We went with 3 other families and the kids had a blast. Only problem is that they didn’t go to sleep until around midnight, and then they woke up with the sun. Everyone needed naps the following day!

  • Lexington – camping & parks

    The highlight of camping for the kids was probably the marshmallows and jumping from one pack and play to the other from 8:30 to 9:30. So much for an idyllic setting of sitting still and listening to the crickets and watching the stars. The following day we went to this amazing park that was right next to the house.

    They had a mud pie making area, gold panning stream, narrow winding trails covered with vines like from a fairy tale, and we got to taste some freshly squeezed (as in squeezed right in front of us) apple juice – awesome!

    The theme of the day was “Do they dare go…” from the Berenstein Bears Spooky Old Tree book.

  • Lexington

    Last weekend we went to Lexington for a camping trip. Friday night we stayed at Nana and Poppa D’s. Parker was fascinated by the tractors and the ‘firetruck’. I’m guessing the lights on top of the rollback and the fact that it was red made it a firetruck.

    Horace – sorry if you never find your keys again, Parker is kind of a klepto when it comes to keys…
