Birthdays

It was Steve's and Amanda's this week and we did a Pinanta for Amanda's birthday party. Parker loved it so much. I think we will be doing another one for his birthday that is in a couple weeks. Then we played Guitar Hero.

update

We have been very busy these past few weeks. We have been trying to buy a house but have found it is difficult to compete with everyone else. By the time we get an offer in, there have been multiple offers made on the house. Hopefully soon though one of the houses that we make an offer on will work out.

We also found out that we are pregnant. We are expecting our new one on February 26. That make me 10 weeks along now. I have been feeling really good, besides feeling tired all the time. We are very excited. Parker is excited also. He likes to pat my stomach and kiss it, but other times he says that he is the baby or that he has a baby in his tummy. We think once I have a belly he might understand a little better. We already had an ultrasound and I got to see our little one kicking around and moving his/her arms. I love ultrasounds.

Vegas

This week Parker, Amanda, my Mom and I went to Vegas for a couple days. We got to stay at Mandalay Bay and spend some time at the pools that they have. And I must say that they are very cool. We also got to go to the M&M factory.

Here are some pictures of Steve and Parker hanging out. Parker thought the water shooting up in the air was pretty cool, until a big wave of water came and he jumped off right into Steve's arms, but still got really wet.

We converted Parker's bed to a toddler bed this week to see if he would be able to do it well. The first night he came out 3 or 4 times and then went to bed and there were no problems. Even in the morning he got up at his usual time. I was thinking this is a piece of cake! Well the next few nights have not been as perfect. He went to bed about the same but then got up 1 AM and got the bed rail off and I was way too out of it to put it back together so he came to bed with us, which is always hard because he loves to roll around and lay ontop of me. Then he got up really eary. 5:45am. And last night he was up at 5:15am and I mean up up. So I am now listening to him crying himself to sleep in the portacrib. We are going to Vegas in the morning with my sister so Parker and I both need a better night sleep. We are going to try this toddler bed thing again once we get back in a couple days.

Parker and Emma

April and I took the kids to get some pictures taken together. Here are some of my favorites.

Katie's wedding

My best friend Katie got married about a month ago and we just got some of the pictures back and here are some of them.

Update

My dear friend Katie had her bridal shower on Saturday and I got to make her cake for her. She said that she didn't care what it looked like so I decided to go very nontraditional. Amanda helped me make it and Kiersten watched Parker while we made it. They were such a great help. 

We have been swimming with Parker and he has been getting pretty good. Here is a video of him swimming to Steve.
