Daybreak Park

 Oh how we wish we lived closer to awesome parks like this!! While Parley and me went to his well child check Aunt Hil took the older two to this park. How fantastic of a place!! Ky didn't leave the water and Brooklyn wouldn't leave the slide. It was FREEZING cold and windy outside, but you wouldn't know. I had to pull them away.

 Brookie and Madie so cute together. Cousins are the best!

Parley Jacob is One

My baby boy is one. That year went so quickly. This baby is a complete joy. His crinkled smiles melt me to a puddle and get him whatever it is he wants. He is so very spoiled. So very loved. He has the most adorable curls and dark eyes. He loves to tease. He loves to giggle. He loves to climb. He is a fast crawler and even does the stink bug crawl. He refuses to walk. He loves snuggles and loves kisses. Loves Kisses. He is so ticklish. He loves faces and will stroke it when being rocked. He adores his daddy. He tolerates his brother and sister most days. Other days he adores them. He loves dogs. He loves wagon rides to feed the chickens and around the yard. He loves the sandbox. He loves rides on the power wheels with Brother and sister. He loves food. Havnt found anything he doesn't like. He loves fruits and veggies the most. He loves his bottle (which we have just last week took away but he is almost 14 months now). He loves to drive Kylers trucks around and makes the cute truck sound the whole time. He loves the cozy coupe that now stays in the house all the time to make him happy (remember I said spoiled) He is an unpredictable sleeper. Some days he naps 4 hours others and hour. Some days two times a day, others just once. He keeps mommy guessing. He doesn't really talk. Mostly just dada and da (for dog). He has horrible no good rotten ears. Which we blame for his lack of talking and walking. He couldn't hear well until April when he got his tubes put in. Now he is catching up. He loves to be outside. He gets horribly jealous when brother and sister get to go out and he has to stay in while mommy finishes cleaning up or making dinner. He love to eat rocks, dirt, chalk and crayons. He is a human vacuum. He loves to color on paper, chalkboards or walls. He goes by and will answer to any of the following names: Parley, ParJay, ParPar, Boo, or Parley Jake. Most commonly called ParJay and Boo.

 Pushing his new bus

 He wanted that cake so badly!

 Chocolate, trucks, "dirt" and "rocks". . . . . . . Everything he loves

 

 "oh man this is the life!"

For his birthday we got him a wagon and he loves it so much. He pushes it around and loves going for rides. He loved his birthday cake and couldn't believe we let him dig right in. We even put candy rocks on it for him to eat!
 His stats at one year:
Height:19.6 28%
Weight: 19.5 20%
Head: 18.2 50%
Small and healthy!

Love you Mister ParJay!

This is picture overload. I'm warning you. Sorry this what happens when I don't update like I should.

These are from March of this year. One of the daycare kids left their salsa on the table and Parley found it and brought it down to his level and gobbled it up. See that face, how could do you anything but snap a picture and leave him to his salsa.

 ParJay isn't exactly a smooth teether like his big brother. These teeth and ears have been the death of this baby. It breaks my heart. He gets so unhappy. This particular day daddy wanted a happy baby, therefore he gave him oreos. As you can see it changed his whole attitude. April 2014

 He found the Tupperware cupboard.....

 Teething baby = lots of popsicles. He isn't complaining

 What baby doesn't love pulling the toilet paper out?

Fire and Smores

 It was finally warming up and we have a fire pit....so we put it to use for family night one night. So fun to have a pit right in the backyard!

Easter

The kids loved Easter this year. We decided to make it our family tradition to do Easter on Saturday. Its easier and keeps the sacred meaning behind Easter special and more meaningful on Sunday.
They woke up found the bunny trail to Parleys basket and a note that told them they are old enough to find their baskets now without a trail. They took off to find thier treasures. Brookies was behind and under the table Kylers was in his room in his hamper.
They also found a note that told them to go out to the garage for the rest of their present....they found two perfect full grown bunnys. They named them Hopper (brookies) and Thumper (Kylers) Thumper really thumps his foot oftem. Hopper, runs away. :)
We spent some time coloring eggs and then had a egg hunt at Grandma Jo's house and jumped into the Can Ams and rolled eggs. The kids still today (yes this is a catch up post and its July) still talk about rolling eggs and coloring them and how its no fair it only happens once a year. :)

Brookyn fell asleep on the way back....so uncomfortable!! Kyler helped her lay on his lap but it woke her up.

This kid...Celery and a tractor. Heaven.
