What Parker does when he doesn't want to sleep

Parker came running to the living room and said "mommy you have to come to my room immediately!!" By the way he said it I knew I needed to get there ASAP. This is what I found. At first I wasn't sure what it was, he said that he threw it up there...he didn't mention that he threw it up there over and over. I am just glad it didn't get into the fan.

I couldn't do it...

I have been giving Jeff a hard time about not letting me cut his hair. Well last night he finally gave me the go to do what I wanted, as long as I didn't shave it.(he said he would get sunburned at work, he spends alot of time outside) I got started and trimmed around his neck and ears and then went to cut the rest. I got it wet and started playing with it and I couldn't do it. There I was standing with the scissors in my hand and clippers right in front of me....and I couldn't do it!!! He has the most perfect pin curls (if he will style it). So for now, I am letting him keep it long as long as he is willing to make more of an effort to style it. Most of the time he lets it do its own thing. I am just hoping that he passes that on to that little girl of his, she definitely needs some curl, maybe we should start with hair first, she needs that too!!!

Fun in the sun!!

I know this is really late, but I wanted to share some fun times we had with Jeff's parents while they were here. There is not much to do in Midland but go swimming. We had a great time. Parker is a little fish now!! He loves to go swimming. We all had a great time!!

10 months old

Time is flying by. She is such a joy to have around. A few things about her:

-She just learned to clap and does it all the time.
-Is doing a little bit of walking, she can walk about half way across the room.
-Is getting her very first tooth, the last two nights have been fun!! She has been up until 2 am, but then she crashes for a long while.
-Loves her big brother, and follows him around.
-Loves books, she will sit and look at books for quite a while!!
-She is a really big eater and can hold her own at the dinner table!! (not sure where it all goes, she is just so petite)
-She is fascinated with water bottles and loves to drink from them.
-Still a happy baby and we love her!!

TGIF (A little late)

1. Chips and Salsa make a quick and easy dinner. (I know it is not nutritious)

2. The Innocent Man, by John Grisham, is the book I'm reading right now.

3. July brings back memories of Family Reunions

4. No I don't want to hear any whining, that was obvious.

5. They say if you tell your dreams, (If you ask my husband and he is listening to my dreams) your crazy.(he thinks my dreams are weird and very detailed)

6. Give me time to think it over.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching Transformers, never seen it, tomorrow my plans include celebrating Jeff's birthday and having some yummy cheesecake and Sunday, I want to not do laundry!

Summer BBQ

There is nothing like a summer BBQ. When you go outside in the evening it always smells wonderful. This last weekend we had some friends over and we had a great time with them. We have always wanted to try corn on the cob on the grill. We tried two different ways and liked both ways. They were both so different. One was grilling with out the husk and the other one with the husk. Everyone had their own that they liked. It really just depends if you want steamed corn or not. One was made with a garlic butter and the other one was not. Jeff says the huskless one (with the garlic butter) he like better. Try it both ways and see what you like. The only thing that would have made the evening better was if we had some yummy watermelon. The corn was yummy though and we had a great evening with some new friends!!

Photo editing class

I have been taking this photo editing class and loving it. I have learned lots, I thought I knew how to use my program before but I was wrong. I did this photo today and fell in love with it. It doesn't make my need for a vacation go away that is for sure!!
