Here are just a few pictures of us playing and hanging out. Bennett, Langley and I went to Canton a few weeks ago on a Friday and had a great time. This was her first time in a swing and she loved it!

Bennett and daddy hanging out.
We are working on sitting up. It is slow going but she does love to roll around everywhere!

Parker had to dress up as what she wanted to be when she grows up and she wants to be a candy maker so I found this cute apron and hat. Of course, Bennett got a cute blue frog apron as well. They wore them every day for awhile.

I was trying to lay Lulu down to change her diaper and the cat wouldn't move!! She loved laying like this on the kitty as you can tell from her precious smile.

We had beautiful weather while in Natchez and Aunt Crissie was craving some crawfish. We had know idea that the kids would like it too! Parker has been introduced the the mudbugs once or twice and has nicknamed them "crawly".

Eatin' up sum crawfish...in our diaper!
Just wanted to show everyone how many donuts it takes to feed the Parkers when they all get together!

More pictures to come when I get them from everybody!

On March 11, 2010 Isabelle Parker was sent to the angels to become one herself. We will miss her very much but we know she is where she deserves to be. So we all made our way down to beautiful Natchez to say our last goodbyes and be happy that she can finally rest. This was the second weekend in a row that we all gathered together as a family. The boys (Taylor, Bennett & Crosby) were very happy to see each other again as were the rest of us given the circumstances. I didn't take many pictures but will collect some others over the Easter Holiday to share with everyone.

Kissing cousins! This picture is just too funny because he was loving on Lulu the whole time just like the picture above. I guess he is used to Crosby being sweet on him.

So, it's been a long time since I have been able to post but most of y'all who check this blog have been with me through the past couple of weeks.

A little over two weeks ago we baptized our precious little Lulu. She is such a sweet and charming little girl that we are so happy is a part of our lives. All the family and many friends were able to attend as you will see from the pictures below. It was so much fun to see all the cousins playing together and having a great time enjoying the beautiful weather we had. Below Bennett and Taylor are hanging out together in the playroom.

Trying to get a photo of Lulu like the one we had of Parker at her Baptism but she was a little older and could sit.

Proud family

She was so good during the entire baptism. She squealed once and it was a happy squeal.

She didn't even make a sound when Father Greg poured the water on her head.

Different from our other baptisms, Father Greg asked the children to come up and it worked out quite well because they didn't have to necessarily sit still and watch from the pews.

Not a very cute face but too funny not to add!

Bennett all dressed up and ready to go!

Coco reading to the grandsons. Bennett has a sad face because he wanted to hold the book.

A few weeks ago we had some mulch delivered and Bennett helped Clif put it all our around the house.

Bennett and Parker enjoying a bubble bath. I know you aren't supposed to put bubble bath in a jacuzzi tub but it is so much fun!

Lulu enjoying some juice out of a sippy cup.
Parker and Lulu enjoying some sister time!

This picture sums it up....we had a fun day enjoying the good weather this weekend! You might be wondering what the fun blue and red bars are behind Parker and Bennett. It is their new dome climber Santa brought them. We finally had some decent weather so daddy could put it together for them! When he finally finished putting it together, it started raining!!! They enjoyed it anyway and we look forward to more fun times!

I just discovered this weekend that Parker AND Bennett can swing by themselves!! I'm so excited that I won't have to push anyone in the the hot weather that will be here before we know it.

And can you guess who this is???

Congratulations Scott & Tina! Scott and Tina welcomed their first baby boy, Lucas Glenn Young, on February 15, 2010 at 8:35 p.m. He weighed a healthly 9 lbs 12 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Mom, dad and baby are doing great! We look forward to meeting you soon!

I just love the ability to blog and save these precious memories so that I can show my children how adorable they were when they were young (and the fact that I shared them will all their family to see)!!

Well, Lulu is now 5 months old and is shaping her cute little personality. I didn't post an update when she went for her 4 month old check up but she weighed 14 lbs 15 oz. which is just a little bigger than what Bennett was at four months. She rolled over just this weekend and we are so proud because we've been working on it for quite some time. Now, we are on to sitting up. She loves to be vertical! I'm going to convert Bennett's little chair to her's very soon. I was trying to get some cute pictures of her smiling but she goes blank and looks surprised when you pull the camera out.

Look at those big brown eyes!
We are definitely enjoying tummy time much more these days!

Not sure why but Parker would rather dress her stuffed animals instead of her dolls. Here she is with her Lion Rascal all dressed up with no where to go!

Just a cute picture!

Starting a couple of weeks ago, we've started having pizza night on Friday nights and we make our own dough. By "we" I mean Clif makes the dough. It is much better than the store bought pizzas we are used to. Bennett like to help dad out in the kitchen.

Parker went to a classmates 5th birthday a few Friday afternoons ago at the bowling alley. It was her first time bowling and she caught on quick and loved it! I look forward to taking her and Bennett soon.

I was amazed at how good some of the boys were. They were bowling strikes but not our little princess. She did get a little upset when she didn't knock them all down.

Lulu and her wubbanub. This isn't her favorite pacifier but she is always pulling on them so I thought she would like this.

Lulu and Poppa in deep thought.
