Parker's Funny...

My mom's husband is an Ear Nose and Throat doctor...my kids call him Granddad.  Yesterday, the kids and I were going to stop by Jimmy's office to get our flu shots.  I was on the phone with Chad's mom and she asked where I was.  I told her I was getting close to Jimmy's office.  This was the conversation in the backseat of the van...

Hayden:  We're going to Granddads?
Parker:  No, we're going to somewhere called Jimmy's.

Ha...Parker didn't know poor Granddad has a real name.  Cute!

During the same trip to the doctor Parker was telling me about a girl in his class.  I was asking what she looked like and as he was describing her pink cheeks and long legs he also noted her "long sleeved" hair.  It was funny!

Update...

I was talking to a lady yesterday and she said that the one thing she regretted about being a parent was not taking time to write down all of those memories that she thought were so cute at the time but now she forgot. I haven't been good at blogging lately. Facebook and being busy has taken priority over blogging. I'm going to try and get back into blogging so I can keep up with those cute little things that have happened. I REALLY enjoy going back and looking at my old posts and I know I will regret it if I stop blogging. Without further ado...

May 2009...Parker graduating from preschool.  He was SO cute!

The whole family after graduation...

We went to Louisville, Kentucky for the Southern Baptist Convention in June and we had a great time.  For the first time I figured out the value of a hotel with a swimming pool.  We swam in every hotel swimming pool we stayed at.  I didn't take many pictures but I did take some of us at the Louisville Slugger Museum. It was neat to see how the bats are made.

Parker...

Hayden...

Summer 2009...All the granchildren on Chad's side of the family (minus one two year old)...

This little two year old (almost 3 year old) has stolen my heart.  After not being able to say "Angela" he started calling me Double A and it is SO cute...

Hayden started 1st grade August 17...

He has a great teacher, Mrs. Arnold...

Parker started Kindergarten about August 21...

He has the same teacher that Hayden has last year, Mrs. Ivins...we love her...

My sweet grandmother turned 81 on September 2.  On August 29 we had a surprise birthday party for her.  I think she is beautiful...inside and out.
