Parker's B-day Bash

Parker turned 4! We celebrated his big day by inviting some friends from 'Copa to Parker's grandparents house for a little swim party. Parker had a ball! The Hit of the night (literally and figuratively) was the two motorized bumper boats grandpa got Parker for his birthday. We couldn't get the kids out of the pool!

Parker's favorite color is ORANGE so Nemo was the theme of the night. His creative Aunt Heather made this adorable and delicious cake!


Parker and his buds, he loved the attention!



SHOCKING! Grace ending up with her clothes off once again...

Last Minute Escape to UTAH

On a whim my mom and I took the kids to Utah to catch the tail end of the July 24th Celebrations and G's (my hip grandma) birthday! It was worth the 11 hour car ride...my relatives are that cool! First things first, the Bountiful Park Days of 47 Carnival!


Peas in a pod! Parker and his cousin Ellie are quite the pair...her gentleness is the perfect compliment to his craziness!


Grandma Nielsen gave the kids their first Rootbeer floats...Parker is now requesting I buy rootbeer for the icecream in our freezer.





No fireworks in AZ! Had to take advantage of sparklers while in Utah!

G's party was the highlight! She turned 39 once again and here are her original grandchildren (minus my siblings and a couple missionaries) surrounding her. Thanks G for letting us stay with you. We had a blast!
