All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!

Yesterday Parker lost his 2nd front tooth! He pulled it out by himself after Hayden bonked into him and made it loose. The Tooth Fairy forgot to come until the next night. Whoops!

Parker's Birthday

Since I am catching up on past events, I thought I would document Parker's birthday which was August 21st.

Parker was so excited to have his 7th Birthday! He is growing so fast! He had fun celebrating with his family at Chili's (his favorite restaurant!).
Ainsley was excited it was Parker's birthday!
Austin and Parker are good friends most of the time.
Parker, McCall and Hayden (notice how McCall is always posing!)
Our cute Parker. He is a super sweet boy who is obedient and helpful. We love you Parker!

First Day of School

I know I am way behind on this but I just wanted to post some pictures of the kids 1st day. Austin is in 4th grade, Parker in 1st, and McCall in kindergarten. Austin has Mrs. Turpen, Parker has Mrs. Lewis, and McCall has Mrs. LeGuluche. They were so excited...especially McCall. Hayden was a little bit sad to see McCall go but glad she could help me with Ainsley.

Ainsley

My baby girl is now 3 1/2 months and getting so big. I want to put her in the freezer so she will stop growing! She loves attention and is happiest when there is noise. Want her to go to sleep? Just find the loudest room and she is gone. She loves her BUMBO!

Trip to Canada

Last summer in Canada

Last month I went to Canada for my Grandma Balderson's funeral. It was kind of a sad occasion but it was great to honor such a uniquely wonderful lady. I have so many nice memories of my grandma. I worked with her for years in the clothing section of the Trading Company and she taught me many things (how to vacuum in the corners, clean mirrors, dust). She was brutally honest...if you received a compliment from her you know you earned it because she spoke her mind. Her and my Grandpa had such an amazing marriage and they did everything for her. He simply adored her.

Headstone of my triplet sisters

At the cemetary

All of my brothers and sisters were there and we had a lot of fun together. There is nothing better than being with family.

Father Daughter Campout

Last weekend was our ward Father/Daughter campout. McCall and Hayden had lots of fun with their dad. I'm not sure what they did but they came back with some cute pictures (and syrup in their hair!).

Conference

We try to make (force) the kids to watch at least 1 session of conference. It sounds like a good idea. They brought home conference papers from Primary to keep them busy for the 2 hour long talks. Jeremy and I spent the entire time answering questions like "What is the color of Pres. Uchtdorf's tie?" or "How many of the apostles are wearing glasses?" not to mentions the constant "She's sitting too close to me." or "(sob sob) My pencil broke!" that I really missed most of the talks. I am anxious for the ensign to come!










Intently watching? I don't think so. Notice the conference hairdos!
