SKETTI NITE

So last night was organic-turkey-wheat-spaghetti night at the Parsons.

I know you wish you had been here.

There was one BIG fan...the best eater in the house LOVED it!

"Hi Mr. Noodle! "

"Mmmm.mmmm. Finger licking good."

"Mom! You didn't tell me you were taking pictures. I would have posed."

"Like this."

"Or even better...like this! Cheese!"

gotta wear shades.

Lillianna got her first pair of her very own sunglasses.

Problem is...they make her either too cool or super crazy.

too cool.

whoa crazy.

super cool.

totally crazy.

finally.....WAY CUTE!

Hard at work

My little Rose bud

Decatur has a beautiful new rose garden as part of Delano Park.

Brad and Lillianna and I went there not long ago just to see the gorgeous flowers.

Not who doesn't see a patch of full, luscious green grass and immediately want to do this?

Summer Daze

Nothing like passing an hour in the hose!

She LOVES it!

Octoberfest

What? It's not Halloween?!

Uh-Oh!

Mommy....Daddy...there's something I need to show you....

Memorable Memorial Day weekend

WooooHooooo!

All my cousins came to visit for Memorial Day!

It was SO MUCH FUN!!!

Swimming in our new Animal fun Park

Bombs Away! Ella's coming down the slide...Lillianna is diving out of the pool.

Lillianna is so lucky to have such SWEET cousins...

she gets so much sweet love from them!

Ella and Lillianna sing "Stop in the name of Love"

Ella gives sweet kisses to her cousin.

Daisy gives a sweet hug to Lillianna.

Leah sprinkles sweet fairy dust on Lillianna's head.

Sweet Bentley...he's just so sweet!

The big city of Decatur had its Jubliee Festival this weekend so these beautiful hot air balloons flew right over our house! So fun to see!

Beach Bunny

First family beach vacation!

A moment of silence in awe of God's amazing creation.

Oh no! Where's my leg?

Throwing sand is so much fun! Watch out Mommy!

So much work to do...I've got to work double time.

"Come on waves! Come one waves!"

Worked up an appetite...time for a snack.

Whew! Climbing a mountain is hard work!

I just want to close my eyes for just a minute.
