Brunch at Mom and Dads

SO we went to brunch at my parents last weekend and had a great time.  It is always fun getting all the kids together and they have so much fun just hanging out together

Parker and Brady...Parker loves playing with Brady



 Not a good picture but all three boys are playing together

 Nana and the Princess...in her first dress

 Parker loves to push his dolls around in the stroller

The Atkins Cousins meet Miss Ella

Well the Atkins Cousins finally made it up to visit Miss Ella.  It was a nice relaxing day were we just got to visit and let the kids hang out.     

Sammie and Ella, she has always been so good with the little kids

Tyler and Ella



 Spencer and Ella



This is not an easy picture to get...but most are at least looking at me!!

 Aunt Dereth and Ella



 Well for anyone who knew my mother in law  knows that she loved a good bargain.  Apparently last year after valentines day she went out and bought all of these dogs with hearts on them for all the grand kids and Dereth found them up in the closet.  Parker of course does not really understand that this is the last item that his grandma picked out for him with love but we will cherish this animal and I will eventually tell him the story behind the dog and the immense love that his grandma had for him and of course we will try to carry on her traditions in her absence. 



 So Aunt Dereth is really good at art projects and she brought this one for all the kids to participate in.  Basically take marsh mellows and cover them in chocolate and sprinkles ...then you are supposed to let the chocolate harden on the marsh mellows....ya right...I am not sure any of us waited for the chocolate to harden, but it was so fun and the kids had a great time...so glad someone in the family is creative!!! 



Play time on the floor

Bathtime X2

Yes I am crazy but Parker really liked taking a bath Ella...and she did not care at all...how cute are these pictures

Ethan came over for a play date last week...they had a good time playing with play-do

Movie Night

Well since having a second child Darrin and I both realize it is just not as easy to pack up and go out ....FOR ANYTHING
so we have taken to Disney movie nights...with Popcorn...Parker's favorite..Below are pictures from last week I cracked up when I walked in the room and it was Parker and all the dogs eating popcorn ....together

1 month old

IT is hard for me to believe but the baby is 1 month old...how quickly time flies

 I do get that I am a little biased but are they not the cutest kids ever!!!

Crissy and the kids come to meet baby Ella

As always we had a great visit with the gang!  Brooke was so excited to meet baby Ella, she ended up being a big baby hog!!!  She did not want to share the baby with any one else...it was really funny

 How quickly we have multiplied.... all so cute



Parker and Ella

I love these pictures..he is always wanting to hold baby Ella and kiss her, she is the first thing he asked for in

the morning and the last person he wants to see before he goes to bed...it is so cute
