June 23--5 months!

I'm going to have to talk about this month in the past tense because, once again, I am behind. Parker weighed in at 18 pounds 3.5 ounces...still our big boy! He became even more of a talker this month with squeals, screeches, grunts and coos all the time! I love it! Parker got really into his feet. He would lift his leg and just stare at his toes. Eventually he grabbed those little things and started sucking on them (see last pic). He moved from a 3 hour schedule to a 4 and did awesome! Parker celebrated his first Father's Day with Daddy and spent some time with Gramps and Grammy when they visited at the beginning of June. He rolled from belly to back and we found out he is really ticklish on his neck (big belly laughs)! Parker is such a sweet, happy boy! We love him more than words can express!

Look how big he's getting in the chair!

So happy about his sign...Mommy actually typed it this time!

"Seriously, check this out. This is fancy, folks!"

All smiles grabbing his foot

"I love this book...can't you tell?!"

Sweet

Big boy!

So cute in the tub

Hi buddy!

Toes!

Strawberry Festival

We headed out to the Strawberry Festival at the end of June...an annual celebration to kick-off summer complete with strawberry shortcake, strawberry lemonade, strawberry ice cream, you get the idea! Parker slept while Camden watched the band and played a little golf. Fun!

Listening to the band

Love my hubs!

Buddies

I try to remember to bring my camera when Camden and Parker hang out with their buddies. Most of the time I do (bring it), but I don't end up snapping any photos. I've been trying to do better. Here's an assortment of pics from a few play dates.

1) Zoo day! Tucker, Kennedy, and Camden (along with Nancy, Kennedy's Mommy) checking out a huge orangutan

Bennett--Tucker's little bro

Tucker and cool guy Cam cruisin' together

2) Emmerson ("Emmy")--she will be 2 in October and is a big sis to 3.5-month-old triplet boys!

Huck found one of Emmy's strollers

Emmy and Kennedy

One of the trips, they are identical so I have no idea who this is--Charlie, Sawyer, or Oliver

3) Piper and Camden playing with the cash register

Cooper--Piper's baby brother

This is what Parker did at Piper and Cooper's house!

4) Parker meeting Auntie Emily. She and her family made a pit stop in Seattle on their way back to MT from a 2 week long camping trip

Trumpet time!

Ryan--Emily's youngest

I love how Huck is looking at Mackenzie (Emily's oldest) in this pic

Mackenzie really wanted to hold Parker...so cute!

Em reading to the boys

Lil' Soccer Player

Grammy bought Camden a Mickey soccer ball while she was here. He decided to share it with Parker and the little one was really into it! Here's our lil' soccer player!

Just getting a feel for the ball

"Hmmm...I think I'm supposed to do something with my legs."

Kick! Check out the blurry foot--he got it!

"Now how do I get it?"

Just a few shots of Camden (and one of Parker) while my parents were here...some from my camera, some from theirs.

Hi buddy!

Yogurtland (he loved it almost as much as Mommy does!)

Obsessed with baseball so Grammy bought him this "baseball shirt"

Sporting his Mariners gear

Running with his mouth open...always.

The Dodgers shirt GG and Papa gave him on his 1st birthday

Walking to the park with his buds, Marcus and Casey

Excited to feed the ducks!

Motorcycle Maniacs

Jonathan went on his annual golf trip with the guys at the beginning of June, so my parents came to visit and help me with the boys. My Mom flew out, then a few days later my Dad rode his motorcycle from WY to WA! He had an adventurous ride (to say the least) with hail, rain, running out of gas, and more, but he made it with a positive attitude and prayer! Way to go, Dad! Thankfully, the ride back (with my Mom on board this time) was smooth sailing! They said it was absolutely beautiful!

As always, we had a great time with them here! We didn't get out and about much, but it's just fun being with them. Thank you for coming, Mom and Dad! Thank you for being so helpful! Thank you for loving our boys so much!

Camden and the motorcycle. We were coming back from a walk when my Dad arrived and Camden was so excited to see this bad boy parked in front of our house!

Gramps and Parker

Grammy and Camden...taking a break from feeding the ducks

At the park--our little neighbor girl, Casey, took this pic and did a great job!

Parker loves playing with hands

Fun times!
