"Mom Inventions"

As I heard a friend once say "Necessity is the mother of invention".... As you can tell, Parker was outgrowing the kitchen sink (and was getting the entire kitchen soaked at each bath), so taking the advice from my good friend Julie, she's now getting in the big bathtub....in a laundry basket...It's wonderful! She sits in the basket, her toys can't float away, she can't fall over...and she's somewhat protected from Trey's wild bathtub behavior! Julie...maybe we should patent this?

Parker...7 months old!

Jake's Tool and Gadget Party

Jake and Jennifer's Tool and Gadget Party was fun....here we are Chele, Jake and me and the party! It's hard to believe that their wedding is only 2 months away!

Me and TJ....a few hours away from the kids does a couple good!

Orange Beach April 2008

Well me and the kids tagged along to Orange Beach for a few days with my parents. This was actually Parker's 2nd trip to the beach, but technically her 1st time to actually see the beach. She was so cute (and chubby) in her bathing suit and never once tried to eat the sand. Trey, as always, loved the beach and the indoor pool....He actually cried when we left to come home. They, like their mother, love the beach!

As Trey would say........"Hollywood"

Grandaddy had time away from a meeting to help Trey build a sandcastle.

The only picture where both Trey and Parker are looking at the camara!

Parker's new face is this sour puss one! So funny....it makes her look so grouchy at times!

Yes, I am the only one actually looking at the camara....Beggers can't be choosers I guess.

Trey kept filling Parker's "water" bucket with sand and he thought it was hilarious (as you can tell by his laughing).....Parker's was really confused by how this "sand" stuff kept getting in her water bucket!(as you can tell by her so serious face)
