Play dough

I saw on a show an edible play dough recipe and I knew my little guy would love it. He already tries to eat the regular play dough so I thought this would be a fun way for him to play and I wouldn't have to worry if he ate it. The recipe is 1 C. creamy penut butter, 1 C. powdered milk, 2/3 C. honey and a little bit of flour to keep it from sticking. It was fun and he loved it!!!

New Room

So when our little girl was born I thought her and her big brother could share a room. He has the biggest room in the house and I thought since they are both young it wouldn't be a big deal. Well Parker is so noisy during the day and wants to play in his room, that I decided Paige needed her own space for naps and to play in when she is older. So I converted our spare guest room into a cute pink room for a girl. I think it turned out pretty good. I still have a few things to get done with like curtains and decorations on the walls. But I thought I'd share the prgress.

New Look

I had a minute to myself while Paige is asleep and Parker is engrossed in a show on television so I decided to updat and refresh our blog. I was getting a little tired of seeing the same thing when I would log on, as I am sure all of you were. So here is the new version. I am still planning on adding a few things to make it more personal, but a little at a time.

Father, Son campout

Today Parker and his dad got home from their first father, son campout. They went with the ward to Mctucker ponds out in Springfield. They left last night about 6:30 and went and hooked up grandpa C's old camper. I was worried about Parker being freezing cold. We have taken him camping before in a tent and he doens't sleep very good. The weather here has been so cold lately you wouldn't know it was June. So Matt decided the camper would be a good idea. Matt said that Parker slept the entire night. Why can't he do that at home? They had a really good time, Parker was upset when he got home and realized that the camper was no longer hitched to the truck. I guess he had a really fun time with his daddy and didn't want to come home!!!

Misc. pictures

A lot of people wanted to see more pictures, so this is for them.

More routine

I just read thru a friends blog and am thinking I need a little more of a schedule in my life. I always thought I was an organized person, but after 2 kids and them being the ones that rule the house I am feeling like I have lost the organization battle. How do you get 2 kids to bed before 10:00 at night?? And how do you get them both to take naps at the same time,(or even 1 nap for Parker all day long). I just take one day at a time and feel lucky if I get a shower in during the day sometime!!!!

Paige's Blessing

Today was a wonderful day. We blessed our little girl this morning at church. She looked absolutely beautiful, but I am only a little partial!! My mom did a wonderful job sewing the dress and we had many compliments on how beautiful it was and how beautiful she looked in it. Thanks Mom!!! I told Paige that today was a special day and that she got to wear her first special white dress. She must have really listened to me because she has been so good today and had hardly cried at all. She was perfectly quiet during the blessing and grandpa Yancey said that she just had her eyes open and was looking around. She was great the rest of the meetings as well. Of course I didn't really notice if she was a little bit fussy this afternoon, because she was being held by so many other people that love her. We had so many great friends and family come and support us and that was great, thanks to all that came. Parker had a ball and was worn out, and he actually is taking a nap still. I haven't been able to get him to take a nap lately so it is a wonderful occasion when it happens. Maybe I should have friends of his over more often to wear him out so he will take a nap. I have been aweful at keeping this blog updated, but my priorities sometimes don't include updating it. I will try and do better. Meanwhile here are a few pictures to look at.
