Parker Family

Between baseball games, a dance performance, chicken pox scare and a field trip to the zoo. We had a busy week last week and another one ahead this week but a fun weekend to look forward to. It's kind of nice though that the kids only have a few more weeks of school and then have a little break to have some fun. We have a few little trips planned over the next few months to look forward to also to help break up the summer for us. A trip to Bear Lake, camp out at Lava Hot Springs and a get away to Vegas. We will be set for some fun in the sun:)

Mckaela had a performance at the Riverton arts festival on Saturday and she did so well. This next year we are signing her up for a competition team with a few of here new friends in the neighborhood and she is so excited.
So we thought Mckaela had the chicken pox last week too. She woke up one morning with the worst rash I had ever seen. (I took pics but they got erased from the camera..so mad) All over her body...and I mean ALL over. It looked so bad!!! She was so itchy and so of course I think its chicken pox. None of them have gotten them before so I had no idea what they looked like. We took her in to the doctors and the week before she had strep and was taking something for it and now all of a sudden she was having a reaction to the medicine. Now we know she can't have that again because it could be so much worse next time. It took about 3 days for it to go away. She was good though considering have all these red bumps all over. I let her miss one day of school:) (You can kind of see it on her arms in these pics)

One of her new BFF''s McCall came out to support her. (Seriously these two are joined at the hip.)
Brendan had his Kindergarten field trip at the zoo and I got to go and help keep track of the kids. It was actually a lot of fun just to go and hang out with B. We don't get a lot of just us time and I really treasure the time when it can just be the two of us. I also can't believe that he is almost done with Kindergarten and soon to be a big 1st grade. That is just crazy to me!!!


We found four extra monkeys in here:)
Watching the bird show...it was pretty cool!

Our little group.
He was getting it all figured out where to go next.:)

Brendan only has one more baseball game...thank goodness because it is a struggle to get him to go. He just has not liked it from day one. This game he got to be the catcher and I think he was ready to walk off the field, he was so hot and sweaty that he would keep itching his head and not watch the ball. But you couldn't tell from the big smile he has on his face. He was trying to look good for grandpa:)


So I have gotten the craft bug and just want to make and learn new things all the time. Here is the latest. I have always made the girls hair bows but these one's are a little different and I just love how they turned out. (9 hours and ten bows later)
