Soccer Season Starts!

Parker is loving it already!! He plays hard, works up a sweat, has loads of fun and has even scored a few times, too!...what could be better?

Just some random pictures from his first game...he's #2!

Our Pre-schooler, Parker!

Parker started preschool on Wednesday morning. He loves preschool!! He has been asking me for weeks, "How many days until I start preschool, Mom?" So, when Wednesday arrived, he was one excited boy! He was up, getting ready & begging me to fix breakfast before the sun was even up!

One fun fact about Parker, is that if you've been lucky enough to spend anytime with him in the last few months, you know that he LOVES Transformers! So, as we did our school shopping...we came home with a few Transformer items...

1st...a backpack! What 4 yr. old boy wouldn't think this is awesome?!!?

2nd...some Transformer shoes! (Optimus Prime, of course!)

3rd...some new Transformer underwear (they don't sit in his drawer long...he wears them as soon as I get them washed, LOL)!

Lucky for Parker, he talked Gramma C (she spent a week here with the kids while I was at Young Women's camp) into adding to his Transformer collection, by buying him plate, bowl and cup that are just his own!

Then, of course, Matt added to the collection too....we have a Transformer poster in the boys room...

... the Transformer movie (I'm sure we'll be getting "Revenge of the Fallen" when it's out on DVD)...

...and we picked up the soundtrack to "Revenge of the Fallen" (it's pretty good, especially if you like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc)...

And, I forgot to mention that even the Easter Bunny knew that Parker loves Transformers, so for Easter Parker got a Transformer swim towel in his Easter basket (it's been used almost EVERY day this summer!)....

I love my Parker! He brings a smile to my face every day and I love how much he loves Transformers!! Isn't he cute?

P.S. Just in case you are wondering, Parker does have some Transformer action figures (4 or 5 at the present time, thanks to Grandma Judy & birthday/Christmas presents) and several other Transformer items...I just thought I'd included enough pictures for today!! :)

First Day of School Pictures!

So...what better way to get back into blogging after summer vacation than by posting pictures from the girl's 1st day back to school?

Abbie and Annie looked pretty darn cute, if I say so myself, and had fun picking out their own outfits for the first day back!!


Of course, they had to show off their new "Wizards of Waverly Place" backpacks...

Here's Abbie...

and Annie....

And all four in front of the school (I was LOL at Parker's and Annie's expressions)...
We are all excited for the new school year to begin & I think we're going to have a fantastic year!!
