Busy fun morning!


After being cooped up for 3 days while I felt yucky with some sort of flu I decided to get the kids out of the house and get them worn out! We had a fun morning. We hit the car wash and got the 3 months worth of dirt off of our car.  They loved it and no tears from either boy! Then we went to the park so they could run around and swing and slide. 
 Parker was totally chill in the swings. Connor had fun too and I pushed him SO high! Then he wanted to be in the big kid swing which ended up with him falling out onto his back. That ended THAT! 

Connor LOVES this park because of the steering wheel. He HAS To have my keys and "drives" for as long as it takes to get bored. Which is never.
 
Parker had so much fun going down this slide! He did it over and over and was so brave! 
On we went to the splash pad! The first time this year! It was the perfect day for it- maybe a little chilly for Connor who fully immersed himself in the not so warm water. He was shivering by the end but still had a blast! 
 Parker was NOT ok with it at first but slowly let me walk him around through the water. By the end he was not patient enough to hold my hand and just wandered through the water alone! It was so fun to watch his little baby belly sticking out as he walked around like he owned the place!
 
 Connor was so brave and was all over the place. At one point I thought I'd lost him because he ran over to play in the splash pad area but I couldn't spot him. Heart attack city! 
 We finished things off with lunch from Judd's! It was NOT the best time. Some lady decided she'd have her 3 year old daughter save the only table available before she'd even ordered. I had a tray of food, the stroller and a 3 year old in a CANDY store. It was nuts. I was so offended that she saw my struggle and didn't want to help me out by giving up the table. 

We ended up going to Taco Bell because our shared breadsticks and soup weren't very fulfilling. It was a fun morning and we got home in time for some LONG naps! Connor just woke up and Parker is still out cold! :) That rarely happens!

Two months of catch up!


Wow I've really mastered that one photo a day thing- NOT! How about 2 months later I get a little caught up based solely on my iphone-ography!? Awesome...
Cute moment when Parker figured out how to climb onto Connor's little chair and play with his toys. He often got stuck trying to get out! :)
 Connor loved this cute car at Boulevard Home Furnishings and was my lunch date there one day. Parker must have been home with Ben!
 Nothing cuter than little hands at the grocery store- Parker got to hang out with me later that day! 
 Cassidee's baby shower I had time to run to after my shift at Bella Baby! 
 Goofball- I can't even remember what he had gotten into!
One day when the boys came to get my from work at Bella Baby- Ben had taken them both to the preschool to sign Connor up- I was so impressed he'd handled it all on his own with two crazy boys!
 Connor's first day of school- so excited and I was SO happy for him to go have fun!
 Creeper mom watching him make his first new friend!
 Whiney and cute faces of Pee Kee
 Same day- first one dropping off my handsome first born at school and second one after I actually got ready for the day with my sweet little baby boy!
 This kid is the most content little player. He loves his toys and can keep himself occupied for a LONG time! It's so nice! He loves the little Noah's ark and has an obsession with putting things inside of other things or moving things from one spot to another! 
Can't get enough of his kisses. I think this poor boy has bruises here- which was normal because lately Connor has really enjoyed pushing him over! 
 Connor's funny face! Mommy look at my face! Hahaha love his sense of humor!
Then there's this face- oh those lips that pucker out as he chews! He was eating a Nilla Wafer trying to be happy for me as we shopped and played!  

 My super awesome Valentine's PB&J's...oh boy.

Is this a lot of candy for a 3 year old? I think so- yes!  He got like 3-4 from a girl named Jaycen! Haha I didn't realize she was a girl until a couple weeks later at school. He told me she was his friend and I said is Jaycen a boy or girl? He knew she was a girl! From what his teacher says Jaycen is a bossy pants and keeps all the kids in line! Connor obviously approves of it! 
Tishanne was my date for Valentine's since Ben sang for a fundraiser that night. 
 The awesome day that Connor drank the entire bottle of children's tylenol. So great. His tummy hurt immediately. Called poison control and they said he should be ok. But his timmy was still hurting so I took him to the ER. Lots of tears on my part for being so frustrated it happened at all, tears from him after getting a painful IV and blood draw, and when all was said and done he was just fine! Thank goodness! Taught him a good lesson though! It was heart breaking seeing him be so scared of the IV and all the people who had to hold him down. It was hard! He got nuggets from Wendy's after and seemed relatively unharmed.
 Oh the goofy faces of my hilarious second born! He is getting sillier by the day! He loves to make faces at us and giggle. I love that we have laughter in our home! 
 Ben and I going on a late Valentine's date at Zion.  We had fun at the Tanner Amphitheater, eating lunch at Wildcat Willie's and enjoying a photographic day. I'll post more pics of that day later...
 Parker LOVES watching Baby Einstein on the Farm! He's totally captivated! 
 
Hey mom I think brother is asleep! Where are we going?!
 AFTER giving Connor his melatonin this Sunday afternoon for his nap I decided we should really go on a nice drive to Zion. We ended up in Grafton which Ben and I had visited on our trip earlier in the month. More pics of this trip coming soon too....but here are a couple of Connor getting to drive. What a stinker! 




Such a handsome tiger boy!
On another day Parker got to try out the taxi cab stroller at Boulevard. What a stud! Hey ladies...
Having a much needed sister night sans Tasha...
We got two beta fish and this idiot was obsessed for days! How he knows what they are is crazy to me! 

On a walk with my favorite boys!
I took Connor on an impromptu date to Kneaders then thrift store shopping. He was a busy body but we sure enjoyed our french toast! :) 

 On a walk with the boys...love them to pieces! We were stir crazy and needed to get out! 
 Guess what he's watching??? 
 This is the source of constant stress in my life! GRRRROOOOWWWLLLL!
Once again playing and organizing and being a totally content little boy! 
 Mommy chopped her hair! Parker loved playing with my hair that day and everytime my hair is down he pulls it in front of my eyes. He's so stinkin cute! 
 Took a little trip to Home Depot to get some things. When Connor saw the camp chairs he said "Those are for watching planes!" He remembered going to the air show with Grandpa over a year ago! What a memory!!! He sat in camp chairs while he was there. It amazes me what he remembers!
 Boys turn for hair cuts! Parker was nervous but when we turned music on he did just fine! Connor wanted nothing to do with it and tried to hide- as far away as he could go. Downstairs into the corner under these chairs! HAhahahaha. We still got him though!
 Getting his trim on.
 I went to WPPI in Las Vegas March 10-12th and learned SO much. It was a great trip and I missed my boys like crazy! I stayed in Vegas with Lauren which was awesome and fun and relaxing and got all sorts of inspired at the classes and even organized a styled shoot down there which turned out awesome! 
 Meeting one of my inspirations Jasmine Star. What a beautiful person with so much to offer! 

The day I got home Aunt Helen came over to see us! She was visiting a friend in Hurricane and was able to stop in! My phone became full at that point so I didn't get any more pictures :( But we sure loved seeing her and the oranges she brought us from the Tyrrel grandparents! I'll try to update more and get caught up on my current iphone pics soon! Never a dull moment in this family! Parker started walking a couple weeks ago and he LOVES it! He is pretty steady now and it seems that he just transitioned over night from crawling to walking! He LOVES being outside as much as Connor does and the warm weather has been so welcome! I wish it could stay nice and not get scorching hot though.  Parker says all kinds of words and acts goofy and silly with everyone. He's friendly, smart and happy. He is also a mommy's boy and whines a LOT when I'm around. Connor is OBSESSED with keys. More than he's ever been. He has to stretch out of his booster to see the keys in the ignition. Not sure why he has to do that- but he's literally crazy about keys! It's scary! Anyway- I'll post all their quirks later! I SWEAR!
