Parker is 5

It's kind of hard to go through old pictures and realize that they don't stay small forever. In fact they grow bigger and get older every day. This little guy is such a blessing in our lives. He came to us with a smile on his face and it hasn't really ever left. He is so happy and easy going. He is a smart little boy that is eager to learn, but he still doesn't want to go to school - at least until he is 5 and 1/2 because he likes staying home with mom. His best friends are Josh and Sterling and they always have a great time when ever they are together. At this time in his life he doesn't really care for girls, except his sisters and even then he tolerates them. He is actually really good with his little sister. He loves to help me cook and won't let him tell him that I don't need help. He just scoots his little chair up and puts his hand on mine while I stir or cook something. He loves breakfast and usually demands it as soon as he wakes up. He barely even opens his eyes before he says "Mom! What's for breakfast?" He is also our comedian. We were in the car a week ago and he managed to kick his brother in the head (Not Very Nice!!). When I was questioning him he just said - "Mom! I have the solution to this whole problem. The solution is I DID not do it." That wasn't exactly right because he did do it but the way he said it was hilarious. He is always coming up with something funny to say and if he doesn't have any new material, we get the old why did the chicken cross the road. However, we can never get it right because the reason always changes.
He is such a joy. Thanks Parker for Loving your mommy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.





He loves his big brother.

Parker takes a bubble bath about once a day.
When I showed him this picture he said - I am never going to do that again.


He has such a great smile!
