Jake had his friend Rhett come over to play and they just happened to be wearing the same outfit, so we had to take a picture. Parker fell asleep sitting up and then slumped onto his face. Abbey had her first haircut. It basically looks the same as it did in the first place.
Parker loves to give kisses. Just looking at his cute little face makes me feel happy. He is such a happy baby and he melts my heart everyday.
We went to Marine Land while we were in Niagara falls. I paid 8 dollars so Jake could pet a baluga whale and feed it a fish. When he wnt to feed it he was pretty freaked out so I got to pet the whale. We had a good time however we just got back from Sea World so it was'nt quite as spectacular.
We went to Niagara falls on the week of July 4. We saw the fire works over the falls and went to marine land. It is a neat little town and it was nice to get away for a few days.
We put Jake in soccer this year and he absolutely loves it. Last saturday he scored a goal. He was so excited and proud of himself. He naturally has a desire to compete. It is really fun watching him play.
Parker is trying to get his hat off.
For Canada Day our ward had a BBQ and bought a blow up bouncer and waterslide. The kids had so much fun.
Jake is so good to Parker and lately very helpful to me. One night I was trying to get dinner cleaned up and Parker wouldn't let me do it . I asked Jake if he would hold him for me. He held him and very quietly sang the song from the movie "Spirit" (of course) in his ear. Parker fell asleep and i got the dishes done. It was so sweet and Jake was so proud of himself.
Jake is turning 5 in August, in Ontario they have Junior Kindergarden when they are 4 and Senior Kindergarden when they are 5. He loved school this year. In his report card his teacher said "he is a quiet participant". Very different than at home. Above are his little buddies Rhett, Ethan and Owen. Unfortunately we moved out the school boundairies so he will be going to a different school in the fall. Im not sure if he understands that his friends won't be at his new school. At the year end party they sang all their songs for the parents. It was so cute. His teacher was right, he definitely is a quiet participant. Above is Jake getting off the bus for the last time. We will miss Perry the jolly bus driver. Anyway my baby is growing up so fast. It seems like yesturday he was born and now he is in school.
Here are his before and after shots.
Abbey loves princesses.Especially dressing like one. She rarely wears regular clothes unless we make her. She loves horses and dogs. She is a little daredevil. Her favorite color is pink. She won't drink milk unless it is pink. She is a good big sister. When Parker cries she gets right in his face and sings twinkle twinkle at the top of her lungs. He stops crying briefly then screams louder. He is probably thinking, "what is her problem". She means well. She loves to do crafts, ride her bike, play cowboys with Jake and loves to jump on the trampoline. She is such a chatty funny little girl and is so fun to be around. She has her dad wrapped around her little finger. There are advantages to being the only girl and she is well aware of it!
