Treasure the memories!

After seeing how fast Parker has grown up, I really wanted to take some time out and capture Griffin in all the fun stages. So here are a few of my favorites over the past week....

The eyes that get more alert with everyday that passes! The big cheeks, sorry Griffin those would be from me, that rest right on his shoulders. He has been smiling quite a bit as well but I haven't captured that one yet.
Rolly Polly! This is my favorite because it great to be chubby at this stage!


We are so blessed to have a healthy baby! We take it for granted all too often in our busy and hectic lives. So I just want to thank God for both Parker and Griffin and all the joy they have brought to our lives. They truely are miracles!

Take me out to the ball game!

What a fun night! Monday night we were able to go to a White Caps game with my brother and sister-in-law and all the munchkins. We had a suite which allowed to kids to roam around a bit. It would not have been as pleasant of an evening if they were confined to there chairs. Parker and his cousin Lily had a riot. They ran around and ate peanuts all night long. The best part of the night was when Uncle Nick caught a fly ball which would have landed directly on top of me and Griffin if he wasn't there. Thanks again Uncle Nick!


Franky the pig came by our suite to say Hello! I have never seen the kids run as fast as they did when he or she, I'm not really sure, walked through that door. It took a little bit but they warmed up to it and we finally got a picture.
The Mom's sitting in the back row taking care of the babies. Griffin 4 1/2 weeks and his cousin Sophia who is 3 1/2 months. Start 'em young!

Summer Time Fun!

So this next one is a first for both Parker and I. I know, I know, I am how old and have never been to the local fair. That is pretty sad. I already had a talk with my parents about it. However, I am so glad that Jeff had the idea to go. Parker had such a blast on all the rides and really loved the race they had going on that night.





Daddy was able to go with him on this one because he was just a it short. That's okay Jeff loved it!

Happy Birthday Parker!

This weekend we celebrated Parkers 3rd Birthday! I can not believe it has been three years since God blessed us with him in our family. He is such an amazing little boy and we are so thankful that he is happy and healthy and continues to grow every day. It is such a joy to watch him learn and explore the things that he loves. We Love You Parker! We had both sides of the family over to Jeff's parents house that they were so gracious to open up to us!
Parker with Grandma and Papa Terpstra!
His parents have a great pond in there backyard so all the kids were able to go fishing. They loved it but weren't too excited about actually touching the fish.
Parkers soon to be Aunt Val helped him catch this one and this is about as close as he would get to it!
As you can see, the cake has Diego on it! That was the theme of his party! I always promised that I would never have a cartoon themed birthday for my children, but when they beg over and over and that is all they want, you can't break there little heart!

Family and Friends!

We had some of our friends over this weekend and Parker's cousin Lily was one of them. This is how we found them. They were laying on the deck looking at stones and rocks. They have sooo much fun together and we are very thankful that he has such wonderful friends and cousins in his life. It doesn't get any better than that, having your best friends at all your family functions.

Some more pics!

My two boys during "The first bath"! Parker is such a big help and the best big brother anyone could ask for!

One of Parkers favorite things to do.... SIt and hold his "Baby Brother" He always wants to know what his "Baby Brother" is doing or where he is.
He loves to suck so he will suck on whatever he finds. His arm is a favorite!
