Prince Parker

Yesterday I took the kids to a Prince and Princess party at the mall. I told Parker that princes rescue princesses and slay dragons, once he heard princes get to have swords he was all over that idea. Here he is with Prince Charming:

Turns out Kenzie is sick, yesterday morning she was just fine. When we came home from the mall she had a fever and was asking for medicine. This is the best smile we got out of her, she wasn't to impressed with the party and cried when any of the princesses came near.

Kaitlynn is still the prefect baby, just happy to be anywhere as long as she can nap when she wants.

And here is a random picture from yesterday

Spoiled Rotten

My mom spent the past week at my house spoiling me and my family. It was so nice to have her here. While she was here she cooked, cleaned, entertained the kids, let me sleep in, babysat so Anthony and I could go on a date. She made my life so easy.

Kaitlynn loved having her here

Parker & Kenzie loved having her here

She took us on The Maid of The Mist

Parker & Kenzie loved the boat ride, but I think Kaitlynn liked it the most she could barely control the excitement.

When she didn't cook she treated us to good food at our favorite steak house.

I am a very lucky girl to have such a wonderful mom. Thanks for all you did for us.

7 Years

We have been married for 7 years, and not much has changed in our lives: Anthony is still going to school, we are still renting, and we are still in love.

Looking at the past 7 years here are our biggest accomplishments:

Parker

McKenzie

Kaitlynn

Niagara Falls

Shoes

Kenzie is obsessed with shoes. Shoes is her favorite word and she tries on everyone's shoes who comes in the house.

The last day

Tuesday Anthony started school again so Adam and Melinda were stuck home with me. Lucky for me they were exhausted from going so many places all week that they wanted to spend the last day of their vacation sleeping in and doing nothing. I was happy to oblige. We did have to go to our favorite Wings place one last time though.

We miss you guys.

African Lion Safari

Parker's favorite trip while Adam and Melinda were here was to the African Lion Safari. I am told there was a million things to see and do. First they drove in their car through a Safari Park that was full of lions, ostrichs, giraffes, buffalo, monkeys and many more animals that were just roaming around freely.

The animals had no fear and would walk right up to the cars. The monkeys were even daring enough to jump on the cars.

At the elephant show the elephants got so close you could just reach out and touch them.

They got to ride a boat.

Also included was a train ride. When they got home the first thing Parker did was walk up to me with a sad face and told me "Mom, I did not want to leave that place."
