No Mama, I not sleepy, I just want a cozy little bed.

This is one serious game of Uno

Not sleepy...

She really didn't want to take a nap...

Until she climbed into my lap 20 minutes before we had to go pick up Parker.

Zoo trip

We got to see the bear up close & personal!

Except for the bear, this was the trip where we saw every single sculpture and not a single actual animal.

She's giving the lion "stick medicine"

This car is not cushy enough!

Blanket, pillow, stuffie, pillow...

And she's furious that she can't fit the giant pillow behind her head.

Adventure Day ~ Puyallup Fair

The kids & I went to the fair with Dad & Jared.

Without question, this foot-massager chair was the kids favorite ride:

Apparently it was a little cozy in the back of Dad's car (at least according to Jared's complaining) 

Dinner with Tom

Tom works at our Church and used to babysit for us occasionally, and he is one of our kids very favorite people.

So, we had him over for dinner one night and let him put the kids to bed!

Happy Birthday Uncle Jared!

We had Dad & Jared over for Jared's Birthday, then Keith took the kids & Jared to the Shorewood football game.

...and Dad taught Keith how to tie knots with just one hand.

Parker's Artwork - 2014-2015 School Year

I'm working on our photo album, so I'm finally catching up on documenting Parker's artwork.  All these are from last year:

His writing has sure come a long way in the last year!

Parker and his "team":

Every afternoon, they would build a big set with the blocks, then teacher Jo would have to take a picture for their album.

Do you like how he drew me as a small dog?  Lovely...

I find it hilarious that Anya made it onto Parker's Friends sheet, I don't think I saw him play with her once the entire year!

This is Amir, Parker's best school friend.
