If you were to come to our house....

...you'd find lots of Parker's drawings around! This boy loves to color, cut, paste, tape up, etc any piece of art work that he does. I think it's time I found a cork-board to hang up all his artwork on!

Here's some pictures of what you'd currently find around our house....

(symbols for only Rescue Hero's and NYPD allowed in this room)

(Lego "rock monster"...from the Power Miners set...some of Park's favorite pictures to color, recently...and yes, we print LOADS of pictures off daily!) :)

(more Rescue Hero's and Power Miner pictures)

(still not sure what all this one means...he likes to use the "+" sign when he is combining stuff, currently we have "M+"heart"+P" written on our porch in chalk...that means "mom loves Parker...anyway, there is a heart, rock monster and arrows to the right on this picture...whatever that means!)

P.S. I realize I have a month worth of catching up to do (end of school projects, family reunions, misc. pictures, etc), so I'll do my best to do some regular blogging! :)

Family Pictures

One of the many activities we did over the Thanksgiving holiday was get family pictures taken...with ALL my family. Not just our "little" family...but all my brothers, sisters, their spouses & kids, etc...30 people in all! Here are some of my favorite shots that we just took w/our little camera...

Just our little family...(you can tell Abbie was a little bit cold)...

Here is one of my dad with all the sons (minus my brother-in-law, Brig...this would have been a perfect picture if Brig would have been able to stay!):

And, my mom with her daughters!

And, I couldn't resist sharing this one...Parks & Connor were facinated by a lot of recycling trucks that kept passing....we would find them standing together watching for the trucks to come by....aren't these brothers cute?
