{conversation with parker #2}

We went to eat lunch today at a mexican restaurant and of course at the end of the meal Parker wanted a sopapilla. Hayes was ready to go and we were too so we tried to convice her to eat cookies and ice cream at home with Daddy. She of course wanted to sopapilla so she quickly ate it and we were out the door. Here was our conversation on the way home:

Parker: (in a very excited voice) "So lets go home and our ice cream and cookies"

Daddy: "You already had your dessert, a sopapilla"

Parker: "I want ice cream and cookies too."

Mommy: "Parker, you had a choice and you chose to eat the sopapilla so you can't have the ice cream too."

Parker: (ponders this) "Well...I change my mind, I want the ice cream and cookies."

We were laughing so hard at her seriousness and honesty!

{conversation with parker}

So today we are driving down the road and I looked at my phone to check a message. Here is our conversation...

parker - "mommy, when I was born were you doing that?"

mommy - "Doing what parker?"

parker - "playing with your phone"

mommy - "no, why?"

parker - "because you are always doing that"

OUCH! Guess I was busted!

{verse #3}

So how are we doing? I have really loved having the accountability of knowing there are a few of you out there joining me on this quest! I know this will probably be the time when the newness of memroizing scripture will wear off, but don't give up!! God has already done amazing things in my life as a result of just these 2 scriptures. What has he shown you? I just love His faithfulness!!

So, here goes verse #3...

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV

AMEN!!

Remember that you don't have to use this verse. If you feel like there is another verse that God is speaking to you right now, by all means use that one! Love you All!

{Easter 2009}

We started the Easter season with making a bunny house! Parker LOVES to do projects like this with mommy, but what I really think she likes is when we are finished and she can eat the house piece by piece.

Could this guy be any cuter??

Parker and mommy

Then we went to a few Easter egg hunts! Her is Parker with G.G. having a great time!

Parker with her best friend, Mabry. Aren't they precious!

{princess in training}

So, you all know how Parker really thinks she is a princess. The other day Zac asked her, "Parker, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Her response was of course, "a princess." So he replied, "What about a doctor for princesses?" And she said with the sassiest voice, "uh, no Daddy, just a princess." You have to love a girl who knows what she wants!
(She was even busted trying to dress up Hayes in one of her princess dresses!)

{soccer}

This spring we 'tried' to start the wonderful world of sports with our 3 year old daughter. For those of you who new this would be a bad idea and kept your mouth shut, shame on you! Needless to say, we had very little expectations. Parker has enjoyed ring around the rosies with her friends (the only girls on the team) Mabry & Maddy. She has also boycott a few games when Mabry was out of town. BUT she did kick the ball once. We are so proud!

{day at the zoo}

So here are a few of our latest activities in pictures...

Fun day at the zoo with our cousins and friends! Hayes loved the animals!

Parker on the other hand was miserable! Come to find out, she had pneumonia!Marta pushing parker who zonked out and Shar with Beks.
