Parkers 1st Haircut!!

Nothing like being able to cut your baby's hair when you are a hairstylist. He was a good little boy for me! Don't mind how scary I look though!!

Cousin Time/Wards Visiting

Parker had so much fun having his cousins here from Oregon. Rylee can make Parker laugh all the time and Parker was interested in Rhett. Nothing better then being close with your cousins!!

 While the Wards were here we went to Temple Square again because my sister wanted to really go and take Rylee. We lucked out and it wasn't too cold. The kids are always good sports to let us drag them everywhere!

 While we were down in Salt Lake we decided to find the "Up House" in Herriman. It was pretty fun to go see it and see how it was decorated! No way would I pay 450,000 for it though!

 The best part after the up house: THE PARK!!

Another trip we made while they were here was to Hardware Ranch. There were mostly cows with maybe one spike. It was the perfect weather and funny to watch them eat. We had a great 2 weeks with the Wards!!

Christmas Eve we went to Maddox for lunch with all of my moms family. Nothing better then Maddox!! We had a great surprise the night before and the Wards drove home for Christmas surprising everyone, but me :) Ashlee couldn't resist telling me! The kids had so much fun together in the 2 weeks that they were here. We once again were busy fitting everything in. Christmas Eve night we just hung out at my parents and watched a movie. 

Christmas morning we got up and my family came down and opened presents with Parker. Rylee was so excited about every present and loved that she got to help Parker and Rhett. Parker loved his presents and the paper. They sure got spoiled.



 Next we went to Bodilys to do Christmas with them. Once again we were spoiled and Parker had even more fun with the presents and paper. We had a yummy ham dinner and just hung out.

Wow am I a slacker or what!!! So I will be catching up on 5,6,7,and on to 8 months the next few days!! Thanksgiving we spent with the Bodily's and my dad and Colton were able to come with us because my mom was with Ashlee while she was having her baby. Unfortunately the only picture I got was of Parker. That night I was crazy and headed to Ogden shopping with my friend and her mom and sister. We left about 9:30pm and I got home about 3am!! My dad kept Parker for me and when I got home we had our bags packed and us three hopped in the car and were on our way to Oregon to see the new baby "Rhett Justin Ward" What a LONG drive and day!!! After 14 long hours and a blowout(from Parker)we made it. We were so anxious to see everyone. We had a late Thanksgiving dinner, went to the coast for a day, to the outlets in Salem to see Santa, LOTS of photoshoots, watched Rylee at her swimming lessons, laughed lots, and just had fun everyday! Thursday afternoon we had to start heading back and spent the night in Boise(Parker's 1st sleepover in a motel). Friday we finished the long journey home. It's always sad to come home, but it's always a great vacation.
