A Month of Firsts...

FIRST HAIRCUT!

Perhaps this is what gave her the idea...

FIRST BIG GIRL SLEEPOVER!!

Trina - You are heaven sent!






(Her things didn't fit in a Gracie-sized backpack.)

FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!!

Of course there were far too many exciting things going on for Grace and Miles to look at the camera! (Thanks, Elizabeth!)

And how do we feel about our little girl growin' up???

We'll see... in about a month those frowns might be turned upside down.

Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were having breakfast at the White House.

The attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like, and he replies, "I'd like a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit."

"And what can I get for you, Mr. President?"

George W. replies with his trademark wink and slight grin, "How about a quickie this morning?"

"Why, Mr. President!" the waitress exclaims "How rude! You're starting to act like Mr. Clinton, and you've only been in your second term of office for a year! ''

As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and whispers..."It's pronounced 'quiche'."

Yep, this is my dear sister and her BFF.....she makes me so proud.....sniffle sniffle (fake tears)

Bringing up Boys

Is this what I have to look forward to?!

-Christy -

Happy Birthday! Sorry this birthday wish is a little late. I've actually been trying to find a picture of you to put on here, but to no avail. Hope your Saturday was wonderful!!

This is how i feel about having my good name marred and slandered. The accusations must stop! Would a face like this lie?

Our Future...

I just wanted to let you all know there is going to be one more parrott joining us for christmas this year. Your father and I have decided to start trying for another child because we remember what a joy Christy was. We are certain that with the amount of time we have already devoted to this we will be adding a nursery to our new home soon! Please remember that if the house is rocking, don't come knocking!
Love you all, Mom

I tried to upload a fabulous video but couldn't do it. Too bad. It will probably be bought up by Caterpiller or some other maker of heavy equipment to be used as a training film.

New Job II

I love my new job!

My new job

I can't believe I've spent all these years behind a desk. What was I thinking. Anybody need some landscaping done?

this is how the classy folks in TX go swimming

Don't you wish you could be here to go swimming? Taylor hardly ever has an accident in the water....

Skagway Excursions: Choo-Choo!

Grace and I had a great time in Skagway. It was a nice break after our scare, and did us both some good I think.

A highlight was riding the train into White Pass. A lady we met on the train took these pictures. And look...

No bumps or bruises!

7 Days...

We'll be in the big K-town in 7 days. We can't wait! We're supposed to get in at 8:30 pm next Sunday night after a 9 hour layover in Seattle. Since we're on a free ticket there isn't much I can do, but I'm checking every day for better flights. Maybe we'll find some a day or two earlier. Can't wait to see everyone!

Happy Family Part Deux

I just thought it would be fun to see how many "Happy Family" pictures with sunburns we could include on our family blog. Notice Jim's forehead... sunburn or a lesson about not givin' Big Mama sass around a hot frying pan?

Happy Family

Get Your Spa On
