Parker takes his first steps!!!

YES! we aren't lying...Parker has taken his first steps!! It happened just like everyone said it would. Just one night he was standing next to the couch and he just let go and walked towards me. Of course, I screamed and that scared him but everyday he gets better and better. it is so cool to watch him grow and learn new things everyday!!!

Walking to Daddy!!
Going back and forth..this is so FUN!!
Getting braver and braver!!

He is still learning but everyday he does more and more. He still likes to lunge once he is close enough. Just like everything else it will just click. For whoever is a parent that is the coolest thing to watch. He is such a blessing and everyday we thank God for letting us raise such a wonderful, fun little boy. We don't know what we would do without him!!



Here is a little clip of Parker walking...

So COOL!!!

Fun weekend with Family!

Grandma Rippke, Aunt Jenne, and Cousins Grant and Mackynzie cam for a visit to Denver. It was GREAT!! We had a really nice time with them and Parker Loved having his cousins here to play with. He thought they were pretty cool.
On Friday, Brad and I watched all three kids. It was great, we had a great time. We were very tired but it was worth it. We had dinner, took a bath and played. it was really fun and we wish we could have them over more often.
Grandma and Jenne went to a movie that was produced by one of Jenne's sister-in-laws and is nominated for an Oscar. Pretty cool huh?! On saturday we went to rec Center and went swimming. the kids had a great time even though the water was COLD!!! That night we went to Casa bonita which was also a good time. The kids were very entertained and tired by the time we got home. On Sunday they headed home and we, as always, were very sad to see them go. We can't wait to see them again...HOPEFULLY very soon!!!!

The kids all ate together and had a great time sitting at the little table. It was a little too small for Grant but he was a great big cousin and sat there anyways.








Parker loved when Grant would chase him...Man it really got him moving and they would just giggle!!!













Bath time was a lot of FUN!!

(They are going to LOVE this when they get older) hehe!!

The kids loved playing together the whole weekend!!!





















We can't wait to see everyone again soon!!
