Family Day!

Every 2nd Saturday of the month is family day for the "Haag" family. Each one of us three kids take turns and pick what we do every month. It is very fun and we always do something different. Well June is our month and we did a picnic at a local park in honor of the fathers. It was a good time and we had lots of food and a big park to play at. We are very blessed to live so close to family and we love to get together with them as often as possible.

Father's Day 2008

This year Brad had trouble deciding what he wanted to do. It changed a few times from going to the Aquarium (downtown), to the Childrens Museum, to Bass Pro Shops and a few more. He finally decided that the public pool right up the street was where he wanted to go. So after Parker napped we headed up to the pool. We had lunch and then we got in the pool and didnt get out until we left about 2 hours later. Parker loves the pool. He is a little unsure at first but once he settles in it is usually a fight when we have to leave.


Mommy and Parker...Aren't we cute!!!
Parkers loves to jump in!!








Sitting with daddy...just for a minute!!






Fathers day was a Fun, relaxing day!! Brad is a great daddy and Parker loves him so much!!! He is definitly a daddy's boy. Brad loves being dad and it shows. He is very caring, funny, and loving. Parker and I wouldn't trade him for the world. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful man in our lives.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you dads!!

The Sandbox

We have a space in the backyard that the owners before us used as a dog run and a garden so we have taken that down in stages and this spring we had the brilliant idea to make a section of it into a sandbox. Parkers daycare provider has a sandbox and he LOVES it. He gets so mad when he has to get out. So we decided to give him one at home to play in. It was a pretty easy process because my husband is so handy and knows what he is doing. He is nice to have around. I think we will keep him.

Daddy and Parker working on the frame and digging out the dirt to make room for the sand.
almost done...just one more peice to cut

Now it is time to fill it with...2 tons of sand...
Even Parker wanted to help...LITTLE heavy!!
Even mommy got in on the action...look at those guns!!
ALL done!!!

We still need to make a lid for it but so far so good. Parker seems to like it and has fun playing and getting dirty in the sand. He is such a boy! I love it.

Cousin Makenna Sleeps Over!!

Makenna sleeps over for the first time at our house. It was a real fun time. Not too much fighting but they had their fair share. Bath time was a blast and Parker kept looking at Makenna like she was Crazy!!! They had fun and we cant wait to have her over again!!

Who is that girl??
CHEESE!!! (Isnt she beautiful?)
They are going to love this one when they are older!! hehe
All ready for bed...

These two are really a cute pair when they are getting along. They are getting better about being nice to eachother and they are more and more fun to watch play together. They still have their moments but for the most part they are really sweet to eachother.

Parker "CHIP" Rippke

Yes you read that right!! Parker has chipped his front top baby tooth. He was at the babysitters and fell on the sidewalk. OUCH!!! When I went to pick him up I noticed it. Debby felt so bad because she thought he just got a fat lip and didnt even notice that his tooth had chipped. He is doing just fine and the dentist said that it wasnt worth trying to go in and shave it down. He said that it would be more of a hassel then anything. As long as he is eating good and not babying the tooth then we just have to wait for it to fall out.

He never smiled really big for us, the little stinker, this is the best we could get... He is still one of the cutest boys around. It gives him a little character.
