This adorable little guy was born!

Parker Bradley Wade

Seriously look at that face! I LOVE this picture of Parker he was such a CUTE baby! I miss THIS baby! I had such a fun time as a new little mother! And now this cute little baby is 10! How time flys! I am proud of who he has turned into, He's a good boy, a good example to others and is very sincere and very caring towards other people.

Same old birthday stuff, he went to school, and I brought donuts to his class upon his request, he went to scouts and then we went to grammy's for dinner with his cousins, and more presents and cake!!!

We looked through his baby book together and reminisced on his first year of life, a tear or two was shed, as I thought of how much he's grown and how soon he'll be off on his own. I get emotional thinking of the time when they won't be living under my roof anymore. My dad pointed out that there are only 4 sets of missionaries that will go out until it's Parkers turn. I'm not ready for that and he's still young, I have some time, I will cherish what I have now. And love every stage he goes through.

More Birthdays...

My niece turned 2 and my sister turned 30! 

We celebrated Avery and Brooke's Birthdays a couple Sundays ago...

oh what cute cakes! Kalli did Minnie Mouse for Ave, and I did the 30 for B!

aahhh a couple of birthday buddies

Kara, acting like a 12 year old, again!

(yes we laughed our butts off, like we were both 12) had to be there...

most of the fam dam! Love Birthdays!

Some times when I de-red-if-y  the eyes, ya thats a word, it makes the person look like they have a black eye...I hate it! So sorry Jess, you look like you got sucker punched!

St. Patty's Day & a trip to the Aquarium

We woke up on the 17th to find the house turned upside down!

and little green footprints everywhere!!!

Green pancakes of course, and new green shirts!!

I never did get a shot of all the kids in their green... darn! They pretty much threw the pinching rule out the window! Pretty sure I got pinched (and was wearing green) a good couple dozen times!

Later in the afternoon, after soccer games, we went to the Aquarium with Brooke and Matt, Woody and Andy and the girls... an early birthday activity for Brooker

we hadn't been in a long time, it was really quite fun! They've added a lot of new cool stuff! It was really crowded but still fun!!

 Max and Reese

 Avery

 Elli

 The cute little Otters, there were 3 of them and they were very active! They were walking around and swimming... the three of them came and wrestled in the water right in front of us for a good 5 minutes! It was really cool!

 Max is doing a report at school on Maps so we took this picture of him in front of these maps! He then proceeded to come up with other clever posses through out our stay which you'll see in a moment... he was so cute!

 Check'n out the Tarantula

 The penguins were really active too! They too were swimming and diving around like crazy! It was cool! They put on a good show! I was impressed that they even had penguins! Pretty cool!

 cool blue frog

 spotted sting ray

 Max "climbing" this "tree"

 ... and steering the ship

  and pretending to be under water... He noticed this hole in this cave tunnel looking into an aquarium, he thought it would be funny to make it look like he was under water! He's kinda hard to see, but he's holding his breath!!! Clever little boy!

 The babies crawling through the tunnel

 touching the sting rays!

 Funny story: Well not so funny, I may or may not have blinded this poor Octopus! There was a sign that clearly said no flash photography, which I did NOT see, and flashed away!! The lady next to me looked at me weird! I didn't see the sign! I felt bad, so if you go to the Aquarium and the Octopus Tank is empty, sorry I killed it...

and the cool Jelly Fish, They have this cool light that shines on them so that they change color, Its a cool effect!

We had a very entertaining afternoon! The kids loved it! We'll have to go back when its less crowded! We got it all in, but it would be nice to do it again with less people! Fun, Fun!!!

Some of March

Enjoyed my birthday this year, I suppose I do every year, so another great one... Got up and worked out, which is always good! Showered and came out to a yummy breakfast cooking by my favorite chef! Later Brad and I went shopping and I got a cute new outfit later after that, Brad and I got some Cafe Rio and watched a movie! It was great day!!! ... The night before, we went to Italian Village and celebrated with Wade's! This is the only pic I got to show for my big day!!

These other pics are just cute pics I've taken over the last few weeks!! Oh my cute babies!

I love seeing all FOUR of them together!!!

We went to Trafalga and played... we bought The Pass of all Passes this year and had to go get our pictures taken and get the actual pass! We played for a bit and are looking forward to an awesome summer full of fun stuff!!

Cute Reese and her friend Lucy!!
