A Happy Home is Filled with Love and Laughter

Life

Beej & Chris

Here are a few random pictures from my phone that don't really have a theme but are too cute to not share.

Kaylee and Connor playing together- racing cars. Grandma Tenney always knows what toys the kids will enjoy, because they always play with them for the longest time after she gives it to them. This car set was one of those fun and amazing toys!

Outside for a walk with the kids when Kaylee asked with a HUGE smile on her face "Can I ride my bike through that water?"

Connor giving me a HUGE cheesy grin.

Sometimes a car ride is the best and fastest way to get the kids to sleep :)

North Salt Lake Splash pad. We only went a few times because of Cherry hill- so here is a picture of each Kaylee and Connor playing.

Swimming at the pool at Uncle JC's and Aunt Any's.

Sitting on the couch working on bills when I turn and notice these beauties next to me.

Here are the culprits. Actually that Super man right there is the true culprit. He loves his eggs and wants them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He is constantly getting in the fridge to pull out the eggs.

Luckily we only had one spill and it broke into the carton so less mess for mamma

We love when friends come play. ESPECIALLY our friends Brinlee and Everette. I hope Challae doesn't mind. But this picture cracks me up everytime I see it. He got in one of the dress ups along with Kaylee and Brinlee, and then went to work cooking away.

These kids are too cute!!! We love when they come play

Father's Day 2013

Beej & Chris

I know I am biased, but the kids and I like to think that he is the BEST DADDY IN THE WORLD!!!!

Everyday when daddy goes to work, the kids run to the front door and scream "LOVE YOU DADDY. BYE. LOVE YOU. BYE" and throughout the day they will ask where Dad is and when he is coming home.

As soon as Dad gets home- he sets his stuff down and gets down on the floor to play with the kids, or takes the kids outside while he mows the lawn or whatever else he needs to do. Daddy has soo much patience with the kids, and will let them help him with whatever he is doing.

I asked Kaylee the following questions about her dad, and this is what she came up with:

My Daddy's name is:.... BJ
My Dad is 5 years old
His hair is "He doesn't have no hair" and his eyes are..... black
My Dads favorite food in the whole world is..... Pizza
My Dad's favorite color is..... Red
My Dad likes to wear....Red
My Dads job is... To work on the shed
He loves to eat... PIZZA! and Pasta
He is smart because he knows... how to go to work
My Dad works hard at.... taking some rest
Daddy always tells me... "to stay right there"
I'm happy when Daddy ....."Says sorry"
I Love my Dad because....."he makes us happy and strong"

WE LOVE YOU DADDY!!!!!!

Parker Family Reunion

Beej & Chris

The last few years they held the Park Family Reunion at a time that we were out of town so we weren't able to participate. But this year we made it!

We set up a tent and camped Friday night and the rest of the family came to the reunion saturday all day. They had a movie set up outside Friday night and since my Aunt Jamie doesn't live way close to us and we were planning on being back the next day in the morning- we figured we might as well stay the night.

We were put in charge of the 'Silent Auction' this year. And unfortunately it was a success- so we have to do it again lol

Kaylee and Connor had so much fun wandering around playing with cousins.

My grandpa passed away, so this year the family made t-shirts with a picture of him on it. We wore them for the reunion as well as a Cancer walk we participated in a few weeks after the reunion.

Boys playing ultimate Frisbee

Kaylee smashing the water balloons with her feet

Playing 'Red Rover"

My mom and her sisters and brother (not all pictured)

What a fun big group we have!

Seriously- isn't my grandma the cutest!?

Kaylee being quite attached to my Aunt Jamie and still talks about her all the time! She wants to go back to Aunt Jamie's house and play.

ZOO trip with the Laytons

Beej & Chris

Our great friends the Laytons (Challae, Brinlee and Everett) invited us to go to the zoo with them and boy did we have fun!

Kaylee came up to the gorilla and laughed and said "Look at his boobies!"

We loved looking at the Gorilla- especially when he picked his nose and ate it. The kids sure got a kick out of that. lol

We went to the bird show and had a good time. Connor wasn't loving having to sit and I had to walk out with him a few times, but Kaylee was pretty entertained.

Watching the Otters. They were training them for a little bit as they fed them. It was cool to see all of their tricks.

Love these two!

We also got to see them feed the elephants and see their cool tricks as well. It was a HOT HOT HOT day- but we had so much fun! Thanks Layton's for inviting us!

Uncle Nate's High School Graduation

Beej & Chris

Uncle Nate graduated high school this year and with honors. We are so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. Uncle Nate is definitely the favorite uncle with all of the kids. He will tease and tease the kids- but they LOVE him so much. He will definitely be missed when he leaves on his mission.
