Chase's Bike Accident

Chase had a bike wreck last week that left his face a mess. I took him to Urgent Care to make sure he was okay, but the doctor assured us, he would heal. Needless to say, no more bike ramp for Chase for a while. These pics were taken a few days ago, now his whole left side of his face is bruised and he has a black eye. Poor guy!

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year! Blake loved his longboard and new cell phone, Hallie treasured her doll bed and digital camera and Chase was all about the Wii games, Riprider 360 and his new bike. Luke was thrilled with the packaging. :)

Merry Christmas

Kids Pictures by Brooke

When Bryan, Jennifer and Jack came down for a weekend in early December, Bryan's sister, Brooke took the kids pictures. They turned out great! I thought I'd share.

Stinkin' Facebook!

I'm looking at my friends blogs in the blogging world and see that hardly anyone posts anymore, myself included! I blame Facebook. Admittedly, I'm a Facebook fan too, but I ♥ blogs. I love the way they're laid out like a story and always designed so cute with great pictures. I'm going to try and be a better blogger!

They have this fun rollercoaster for the grandkids and all of our kids loved it, even Luke. Don't worry, he never rode alone. :)

We were so lucky to get to take a fabulous vacation to Orlando, Florida and visit Blake's, Hallie's, & Chase's Grandparents. The next several posts tell about some of our adventures. I want to send a huge thanks to Roy & Donna for their warm hospitality. We had great fun, great food, and fantastic company. We love you guys, thanks soooo much. :)

My boys!

We had our trip to Florida pretty planneout to maximize our fun! We had a day we spent (recouping from jetlag) and relaxing around the Parker house. They live inn a beautiful house on a beautiful lake. We went for boat rides (Luke's first), swimming, jet skiing, and tubing. Okay, well the kids went tubing. :) It was a perfect day.
