Birthday Overload!!

Parker is ONE!! And we love this little one-year-old more than we ever thought possible. We have a hard time resisting this adorable face and we are so grateful for the joy he brings our family.

So like I said before Parker had 4 birthdays, 3 parties, 3 cakes, and lots of presents. We spent his actual birthday on July 20th with Tyler's parents in Jackson Hole. Tyler and his dad had some work to do there so Parker, Deanna, and I went along for the ride and we made a pretty fun trip out of it. The drive was beautiful and I know Parker enjoyed being spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks for the fun trip Pooleys!

Parker was very excited in the hotel on his birthday morning!

We went to dinner to celebrate that night and Parker got some ice cream!

We got Parker a guitar for his birthday because he loves Tyler's guitar and is always trying to play with it. Now he has his own and they can jam together.

After we got home from Jackson Hole the next day, my parents had a cake for him to enjoy! He loves chocolate!!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Milligan, Aunt Kris and Uncle Jake!

A few days later, we had a big family party with both my family and Tyler's family including great grandparents. It was so fun! Parker is so lucky to have a big family and they all love him very much!

Lastly, we threw him one more party so he could invite his baby and non-baby friends from our ward. We had his sweet inflatable pool, a volleyball game and a water balloon fight.

My friend Brittany made this awesome cake for the party- Thank you Brittany!!

Thank you to everyone who made Parker's first birthday so special for him. We love you all!

One of our favorite things about sumer is boating! We have been lucky this year to have had a lot of opportunities to take the boat out! Tyler has been rockin' on the wake board as always, clearing the wake and attempting tricks- we need a tower so he can really show off! And I am making up for last summer since I was prego and not able to wakeboard at all, trying to catch some air with Tyler's coaching and learning to switch feet. Parker enjoys boating too! He wasn't very fond of the chilly water and his big life jacket at first but by the 2nd or 3rd outing, he has turned into a little fish, he loves swimming and being rocked to sleep on the boat. We have had a lot of fun with our friends and hope to get out a couple more times before fall brings the cool weather! Here are just a few fun pictures:

Thanks to everyone who comes with us for making it so much fun!

Too Busy

I looked at my blog for the first time in a month and realized I haven't had time to write about some big things... so until I find time for details, here are the high points:

1. Parker turned one!!! His birthday was July 20th and he had 3 birthday cakes! It was so fun and I can't believe how fast 1 year has been.

2. We moved! Well we are still in the process but we left our loved 1st apartment in downtown Boise for a great house out in Eagle, ID where our parents live and where Tyler works. It was time for more room because...

3. I'm not pregnant!! Ha ha sorry, I thought I needed one more high point and being pregnant would be a fun one to add but I'm not pregnant.

As you can imagine, 3 birthday parties and moving, as well as house sitting and other odds and ends of life have kept me busy. More details and pictures (especially of the birthday boy) to come soon!
