Grandma & Grandpa Parker's Visit

Over Blake's birthday weekend the kids' Grandparents came in town from Florida. We went to dinner and to Dave & Busters for the kids to play games. Wall had a great time visiting with them. Thanks, Roy & Donna, for lots of fun!

Blake is 12!

Blake is an amazing big brother. So handsome.

I almost can't believe that my baby boy is 12 years old! Blake Wilson Parker was born on April 14, 1997 in Mesa, AZ. After a crazy birth experience, he arrived weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. & 21 inches long. From day one he has been nothing but a joy. Blake is loving, considerate and fun! He is a good boy with a tender heart. We love you, Blake!

More Luke "Fluff"

Luke's babylegs :)

Hallie with Luke on his lion.

Luke coos and "talks" to the animals on his swing, so cute.

I've been taking miscellaneous pictures and picked out a few of my favorites.

First Trip to the Park

Typical Luke, screaming. :) So Sweet!

Finally, asleep.

My nephew, Noah, just celebrated his 4th birthday at the park. I realized it was Luke's first trip to the park so I thought I'd post his cute little pictures we took that day.

Kids in the Wild

My kids were lucky enough to get to go to a really neat cabin in Payson with their Aunt Melissa & Uncle Casey and their kiddos for a few days and had a blast! Hallie and Maggie had a great time being girls and playing in the creek and (trying) to shoot Brigham's gun. Chase played with cars in the dirt for endless hours with his little cousin, Noah. Blake had a great time doing everything, but especially liked the creek and all the board/card games they played. Thanks Miss and Casey, you guys are so great!

Colic CRAZINESS

Our precious little boy has got a full blown case of colic. After many screaming nights (by Luke), many overwhelmed nights (by Mom and Dad), and several doctor's visits, he's been diagnosed with "severe reflux". They've got him taking some meds now and we're hoping for a miracle. It's heartbreaking to hear your 6 week old baby have a hoarse voice from crying so much. :( Everyone has a story about their baby with colic and how they all outgrow it. I just never thought it would happen to us. Keep little Luke in your prayers so he can feel better soon.
