Updated Pictures of the BOYS!

LABOR DAY!

Ty's Baby Blessing

Ty was blessed on September 6th. It was fun having Rich's parents and sister in town for it.

Ty's Update

Ty is 3 months here! He loves to smile and drool big time. I have never used these bibs for any of my kids but Ty definitely needs them. He is still a great baby . . . sleeping through the night since 6 weeks and is now going 12 hours every night. This has been a huge blessing! None of my other kids did this!

I thought this picture was pretty funny. Check out Ty's drool!

And yes . . . we have a thumbsucker. He spits out his paci, fusses for a few seconds, and finds his thumb every time now. Let's hope he doesn't have to get a plate in his mouth when he is older like me!!

Parker turns 3!

August is a big BIRTHDAY month for our family. Brandt turned 5, I turned 29, and Parker turned 3 all within a week! FUN FUN! We had a little barbeque for Parker and the kids had fun on the slip n' slide and playing with water balloons!

Brandt's 5th Birthday!

Brandt & MONKEY JOE!

Brandt turned 5 a few weeks ago. We won a birthday party to this place and the kids had a blast having the party here. It is one of their favorite places to go on a rainy day!!

SUMMER is over & SCHOOL has started . . .

One last little get together at the pool with friends before school started . . .

Every year there is a fundraiser basketball game between some lawyers and doctors. The boys had fun watching especially since dad's team won. And . . . I actually did a raffle and won a birthday party to Monkey Joe's (a fun indoor inflatable place). I was just starting to think about what I was going to do for Brandt's 5th birthday since it was 2 weeks later!

Wow! Can't believe school has already been going on for a month now! Jay is in first grade and Brandt is doing a pre-k program that is done here in Georgia. They are both gone all day. It is so different just being home with a 3 year old and newborn. Parker definitely misses his brothers during the day. He is doing a little preschool one day a week and it includes a little gymnastics class which he loves!

VACATION!

Every other summer, the Parkinson clan heads to Michigan to stay on a lake for a week. My mom's cousin has a beautiful lakehouse that we stay at. We had a blast! It was a bummer that Rich wasn't able to go. He wasn't too thrilled about me flying by myself with the 4 boys but we made it safe and sound! It is one of our favorite vacations. The kids had so much fun seeing their cousins and doing all the fun water stuff . . .

Thanks MOM for planning a fun trip and thanks MARK & RHONDA for EVERYTHING!!

WHAT A TRIP!
