Oregon Baby!


We have found a new love! Oregon is SO beautiful! We would love to live there one day...P.A. School in Oregon?!? :-)
We decided at the last minute that we wanted Parker to finally meet his great-grandparents in Oregon, so we left last week to spend a week with them. We got mom, dad, and CJ to come with us too. It was SO much fun!

We got to go to the coast one day, and Parker loved it! (until he got too cold)




Aunt Cherie getting some Parker time.
I buried Parker's legs in the sand. He didn't know what to think about it. Haha...I love this picture.
Chillin' with cousin Benny!
Family picture at the Newport Bayfront. The seal docks were gone, so it wasn't as cool as last year. Parker got to see a couple seals though. :-)
Pictures on the Canby Ferry.


Parker with his new cousin Ashton and her puppy Cash. First time riding in a wagon!
Parker loves his Uncle CJ
Parker with his cousin Lydia (Tyler's cousin)
Parker's grandparents were kind enough to let Ty and I go on a date while we were in Oregon. Tyler convinced me to go catch some Crawdads in the river. It was a blast!

I refused to catch one in the water, but I had a blast pointing them out for Tyler to catch. He made me pick one up for a picture though.


Parker wanting to see the crawdad.
Chillin' by the fire while Ty cooked the crawdads.


Parker had all kinds of fresh fruit while we were in Oregon. Here he is eating blackberries. He really did love them although his expression doesn't show it. He just wanted more and more and more. I had to stop before he got the big-D. haha. He had raspberries, blueberries, grapes, and cherries. He is a fruit boy! He also discovered that he loves Great-grandma's apple-pear sauce. She sent a big jar home with us. He was so spoiled this week!
Parker pulled himself up to a stand in his crib before we left for Oregon, but he hadn't done it again since. He pulled himself up on this stool at great-grandma's house. We were all so proud!
Saying bye-bye to great-grandma and grandpa.

Parker's first time in a special cart at the grocery store. He had to have one hand on each steering wheel. So cute!

Drivers Ed

We went into Pocatello today and found some fun things for Parker to do. The mall had little vehicles that you can put 50 cents in and they will rock back and forth. Parker loved it! We put him in the tow truck first, and he immediately grabbed the wheel and smiled great big out the front window.
I love this video because he keeps turning the wheel...so cute!








It is so much fun watching Parker grow up, but it is really sad at the same time. We sure love him! :-)
