Festival Time

I watched my friend Stacey's kids this week one day and got them pizza for lunch. Parker loves his pizza and his friends. Here he is laughing at them after they were finished eating. Hence, the messy face. :)
Parker really loves playing with balls. We laugh sometimes, because he bends to pick them up, and in the process kicks them. This makes him made, so he then screams at the ball.

We went to old town St. Charles today for a little festival with some of our friends, the Caseys.

New Mexico- the second half.

For some reason, the photo uploader decided to stop working for me halfway through uploading my pictures, so there will be more to come. Parker and I went to New Mexico to see my dad's side of the family last weekend. We went camping on the lake at Elephant Butte. Parker decided to be a hellion for me most of the weekend, but other than that, it was a great trip.

With my Papa. It is tradition for me to always get a picture with him each time I visit.

This is my cousin Jenny's daughter, Kyleigh.

Papa, Santiago, and Uncle Art.

The whole gang, minus Parker...he finally had fallen asleep!

Uncle Kelly was making him giggle.

At the airport, ready to go home.

Cards vs M's

Tim, Stacey, Jason, and I all went to watch the Cardinals vs Mariners game last night. The Mariners finally one a game in the series...yeah!!! I was the only M's fan sitting wear I was, but I did see a few as we were entering and leaving the stadium.

Parker has a new face!

Parker started making this face a few days ago, and does it all the time. He scrunches up his nose, puckers his lips, and makes this funny breathing sound with his nose.

Playing with daddy.

I decided to take Parker for a walk in the morning yesterday before his nap. I guess he was more tired than I realized because he just couldn't manage to stay awake until we got home.

My little cutie!

Clapping for himself. He just randomly will break out clapping and smiling. It is really kind of funny and cute all at the same time.

Friends

Our friends the McGowans came by for dinner on Friday night. Mike worked with Tim in Everett, and they now live in Huntsville, AL, so it was great to get to see them again.


Our friends the Jay's came by for dinner tonight. Their daughter Audrey is six months old and Parker sure likes her. He gave her kisses, and tried to play with her, although he is a giant next to her and doesn't realize his own strength.

No Pants!

This is Parker's new favorite: wearing his t-shirt, and not shorts/pants, just a diaper. He actually prefers to be completely naked, but just wearing a diaper is second best when he gets to choose. It is a HUGE fight to get him dressed everyday. You would think we were beating by the screams he makes, not to mention the flailing arms and kicking legs. Good thing he is so cute!

Clapping is another one of Parker's favorite things to do right now.

Mr. Cutie Pie!

My friend Stacey snapped this picture of the three of us last night. I can hardly believe it, we have a picture not only of the three of us, but we are all smiling and all looking at the camera. I swear, it is a miracle!

Punta Cana

Tim and I took a last minute long weekend to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We flew out Thursday morning and came back on Sunday afternoon. We had a fun time laying on the beaches, and a trip out to the cigar factory to see how they were made.

A picture of us from the bar on the beach.

This is a guy who rolls cigars for a living. They have to roll over 300 a day before they get to go home.
Tim was given a sample of a cigar at the cigar factory. The cigar roller was smoking a cigar he had just rolled, and was also posing for pictures with all the tourists.

I missed my little man SO much! I was so excited to come home to him!!!
