Chels and Ry being silly !!

They dressed him up for ever with these underwear - good thing he is such a good sport!!

Elleys First Steps!!!

Can you believe it ?!!? She has grown up so fast - it feels like just yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital and trying to teach chance how to change diapers :) He is a pro now!!
She has the funniest personality - she is very fiesty - i think she learned that from her big brother. She tries to do everything he does which is why I think she started walking so fast, she can't stand that he can move around faster then she can. They are very different though in some ways - like he was ok with anyone holding him and would laugh and love on anyone - he was very independent , but she is very territorial of me and Chance- she will not let anyone else hold her if I am in the room and she follows me around wherever I go. I didn't get to spend as much time with him as I have with Elley because I was working so much so I still feel like I am doing some of this for the first time - I am so greatful that I get to stay home with them both now and I can be a part of all the cool things they do!!

Elley met Santa!!

So it looks like she is ok with the Santa idea in this picture. But she had not seen him yet , this is what happened when she turned around.........




She saw his face and she froze for a second. Then Santa said Hi Baby and she lost it! She was screaming and hiding her face. She doesn't know how cool Santa is yet :)



But Parker does!! This year is so fun because he is old enough to really understand and he wants to decorate everything. He really like to give gifts to other people too - I am so proud of him :)

Our Trip to Arizona

This is the jet that we got to ride on!! Pretty sweet :) I was a little worried about the plane ride with Parker until I saw what we were riding on. It was like a house on wheels.  It was a really fun ride and they had lots of junk food so Parker thought it was really cool!!

This is Parker's girlfriend Paris!! He is so in love with her - he told her someday when I get bigger I will buy you a ring and you will be my wife!! She lives in Arizona right next to Jerry and Vicki so Parker got to play with her a lot while we were there. I have not had the heart to break it to him that she is his cousin and off limits lol!!

He is hooked up - two girls pushing him around - what a life !!

This is Paris, Mckenzie and Parker on the Rhino. Chance took us all for a ride- it was so fun!!  

What a Day for Buddy!!

Buddy,Laura,Chance and Chelsey actually got to ride in the official pace car!! Now- smiles from this man are sometimes far an few between so this picture is pretty priceless.  When we got to the races and Chance saw that we were just walking right into the pit lane he said me and my dad came here for so many years and faught to walk in those gates and never got in. So this day must have meant so much to him and his dad !! 

The Nascar Races

This is were we sat to watch the races- In the pits!! It was unbelievable - they are not supposed to have anyone under the age of 18 in there but they passed Parker through as Richard Petty's grandson! This was by far the coolest thing me and Parker have ever done.  We stood right by the pit crews and watched the cars come in for pit-stops. I am so glad that we had this experience - it is something that Parker will always remember!!  Getting ready for the races - they let us walk around the pits before anyone else got there so we could see how they set everything up !!
Yes this is Richard Petty - Parker knows him as Mr. The King off the movie cars!! He is the coolest guy - and he makes the rest of us look like midgets!!
Here he is with Buddy - he was one of buddy's favorite racers !!
Chance and Ryan got to go to the garage where they get the cars ready for the races! It was a pretty big deal I guess because they were both like little kids when they came back - they were so excited that they got to go:)

What a Fun Halloween!!!

This is Christina - man is she a hottie!! lol- This is my brother - he let us dress him up as a women!! He got into it to - he even shaved his legs !!
This is my dad - he was an axe murderer!! He is so cool for dressing up and he made a hay ride with his four wheeler and a trailer. He took all the kids in the neighborhood for rides - they all know he will come up with something fun on halloween. He loves it too - we are so lucky he is such a fun grandpa!!She was so funny with this wig on - she was crying until she saw the camera and then she posed like this!! I wish she had blonde hair like here mommy - then maybe she would look like she belonged to me and not just her daddy:)
This is Kenzy - my cousin Jackie's little girl!! She is so cute and Elley loved her - they will love to play together when she gets bigger!! They are both spoiled little stinkers!!
They hated there costumes - but how cute are they!! They have no choice but to be best friends!!
I love this one!! My brother let us dress him up as a women.  It was seriously so fun- I hope he lets us do it again:) He was such a good sport -he even shaved his legs lol!

Halloween at the Dinosaur Park

How cool is this picture - I saw Joker walking around and I had to have a picture of him with Batman(Chance)!! This made Parkers night:)Getting ready to go inside - he is getting so bad at pictures - I can't get him to look at the camera long enough! 
There was the scariest lady on the floor next to us - it was a doll that they dressed up like the girl off of the ring - he was locked in on her - a little to scary for him.
Elley Belly was a Pumpkin Princess - she kept licking the black paint off of her face
The T-Rex was pretty hungry !!

Elley is all better - here are some funny pictures from this weekend- enjoy Grandma!!

Is she silly or what?  She can't stand to sit still so she just shoves her toys in her mouth and holds them there so her hands are free! What can you really say about this sweet little face!

This one is funny- she was eating puffs when I left the room but Parker snuck her a sucker and this is what I came back to find instead!!
She is pulling herself up on everything - it freaks me out it won't be long before she figures out how to walk then we are in big trouble!

Parkers Very First School Field Trip!!

I was so proud of him - they played this video about Fire Safety - it was like 30 minutes long and he sat still and listened to the whole thing!! At the end he told the fire men not to worry about his house because we don't get fires there lol it was really cute !God bless his teacher!! She wanted a picture with all 37 of her pre- schoolers in it- the woman has patience .
Playin on the fire truck - I am glad they let them climb all over it !!
Parkers home boys !! Of course everyone is smiling but him - little stinker! 
My little hero:) He looks so good in that hat- he is a natural!!

Chuck E. Cheese's - Best place on earth!!

Getting ready to go
Grandpa Buddy - just along for the ride 
This mouse was a little scary- Parker would not get near him 

Carving Pumpkins
