Love Gardens!

This is my garden this year. It will probably be the last one I do in this house but it is turning out lovely! Im so excited. I have pumpkins, peas, and corn growing....not to mention green grass...whoo hooo. Zach and Tyler both helped me plant this year. Its been fun!

My Thankful Tree

Zach and I were bored today so we thought we would make a thankful tree. One thank you for each day before Thanksgiving. I was thinking we could pull a leaf and that day really think about why we are grateful for that! Korny I know but fun.

Where am I going to sleep?

I woke up last night to use the restroom/brush my teeth. I left the bed and it was just Kenny and I (although the picture is blurry) I came back to go to bed and found that we had more company. I guess it was my turn to sleep on the couch.

WOW did not know anyone could/would do this?????!!!

I was talking to a friend last night about Halloween costumes and I mentioned this dude in high school who had the best outfits. He said well, funny you should mention him because he carved you into a pumpkin when I was on my mission. Whaaa was my reply and then this was sent to me. Kenny and I are still laughing. We needed that laugh! At least Im sitting with great company!

Zach stats!

Zach is now my big four year old! His appointment went a little better than Tyler's but he did not pass his eye test so he gets to go to the eye doctor.....whoo hoo. We got a long month ahead of us! He is growing great though: Height: 43 3/4 inches tall 97% and weight 44 lbs. We sure love him!

Tyler Stats

Tyler had a doctors appointment that was painful for him this week. We went in for his 18 month appointment and had to get an x-ray fo his foot due to his fall last month. Instead, not only did we end up with the x-ray of his foot we also had to get a chest x-ray, and EKG, 3 shots and a TB test. I was mortified about how long I had to hold him down and how long he screamed. At least 1.5 hrs. Turns out he had to get a TB test because Kenny's test always ends up positive due to an exposure when he was a child and now all kids who have a close relative who has a positive TB test has to get one too. Pain in the butt. Then while checking him out the doctor discovers he has a heart murmur and so that is where the EKG and the chest x-ray come in. That was noooooo fun. X-ray did not make him too happy and just to be on the safe side he said he wants Tyler to go see a cardiologist! ERRRRRR. So that was so sad for me. He is so young and it could very well be nothing but there is always a mother's worry.

In the end: these are his stats: Height: 33.5 inches, Wt 27 lbs 12oz

State Fair 2008

The state fair was fun this year! My parents were going to just take Zachary but we decided to tag along for the ride and boy am I glad we did. Thanks mom and dad!

This is how close we got to the rodeo!

How many Parkers does it take to milk a cow?

Got funnel cake?

Tyler does....

Pony rides, Zach riding like a champ.

Don't forget the crazy monkey riding on dog race. Evidently a must see...very strange, but cute.

Fun to ride on a steer?

This thing I am going to have nightmares about...

Family Picture gone wrong

Sent to jail

Tyler loved the blocks.

Zachary loved everything...

Me I loved the elephants!

Overall it was a great way to end a terrible week! Im so grateful for my parents coming up with the wonderful idea.
