His Birthday came and went!

Parker turned 15 on October 23rd....what a quick 15 years it has been! We spent his birthday in Southern California --- it was awesome!

He is growing into a fine young man. He is tall, handsome, smart and fun to be around. He trys to act cool outside of the family....but is really quite a goofball!

He is kind of a busy kid! He loves being a class officer at HJH. He just had his first swim meet at the high school level and is off to St. George this weekend with the team. He loves to play tennis and fastpitch softball. He loves to watch football and basketball. He plays the saxophone in the Jazz Band and Concert Band. He is a counselor in his teachers quorum.

He is kind and caring. His little cousins love him! He is a blessing in our lives!

Happy Birthday to Parker!!!!!

Beach Trip Beginnings

Right now we are sitting in a two bedroom, two bathroom suite, a kitchen with granite counter tops, a washer and dryer, three flat screen tv's, etc. etc. etc. ---- oh and an ocean view.

Judy keeps thinking that someone is going to ask us to leave...that we aren't supposed to be here.

Meranda, Willie and Parker have played basketball, teather ball (Napoleon Dynamite style), ping pong, tennis and swiming/hot tubbing!

Judy and Cindy are doing as little as possible and were wrapped up in our football game day blankets watching them swim and play tennis!

We are laughing and having a great time.....stories yet to tell (better if in person)...
Stopping at what we thought was an Arctic Circle in South Jordan on our way out of town
Driving like crazy people - making it to Vegas at 1:30 a.m.
Getting lost on a toll road in California
Discovering that they actually do catch fish off the Huntington Beach Pier (a shark)
Being greeted at Crystal Cove State Park by an evil state park worker
Eating at Cocoa's tonight - having to wait for Parker's Cobb Salad and Willie's garlic bread (that apparently was frozen) - we think Cocoa was there - some woman in an animal print top.......

Anyway - we are here - tomorrow we are hitting beaches galore and if you can believe it - we ARE NOT standing in line at an amusement park!!!!!!

More to come.......
