Take Me Out to the Ballgame

It is Parker's favorite time of year...time for baseball! That is all he talks about it seems like these days. We play baseball from sun-up til sun-down and he loves every minute of it. We have had a lot of fun with friends and family already at the Natural's games! Strike and Jake the dog have come up to visit us...which the kids have loved! (except Presley thinks she likes Strike better from a far.)

Happy Easter 2009

We had a great Easter weekend. We started off Friday going to the animal safari with Nana and ate dinner that night with Pa & Nana. The kids went ahead and got their cool Easter baskets from them too, which they loved! Saturday morning we went to see the Easter Bunny with Christy and Brycen. Parker loved the Bunny but Presley was terrified! She wanted nothing to do with him. After we saw the bunny we went to our cousin Aubree's 2nd birthday party and had an Easter egg hunt. We came home that night and made cookies and decorated our eggs. I'm not sure which Parker enjoyed more, making a mess with the dye or the chocolate! Sunday we headed to church and to GG and Papa's for lunch. We had lots of yummy food, got more fun Easter baskets and celebrated Avery's birthday. We were sad we missed my side's Easter dinner because they were at the same time and everyone was gone by the time we were headed there. We just came home to rest and recoup after our fun and busy weekend, but instead Presley took her first "real" steps so we were all so happy and cheering her on that's pretty much all we did the rest of the afternoon. Pretty cool she did it on Easter!!! Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Animal Saffari

Friday Nana took us and Jami and Dallas to the Gentry Animal Saffari. The kids all had such a great time seeing all the animals. It is so crazy how they just walk right up to your car and stick their heads in the window. Parker loved getting to help Nana drive. Presley was in ah of all the animals. She would point and scream to everyone she saw. Thanks for such a great, fun day Nana!

She Finally Said It!!!

It only took her 12 months to say it, but Presley FINALLY said Mama!!! I didn't think this day would ever come since Parker said it at 7 months and since she says dada, bye-bye, bite, and baba(bottle). Everytime I would try to get her to say Mama she would smile ear to ear and scream dada. I guess good things really do come to those who wait and wait and wait!
