And The Winner Is...Parker!


Parker we are all very proud of your hard work and learning your speech. He was beaming when I picked him up from school on Thursday. He could not wait to tell me he won student council! My mom was waiting on us at home because win or lose she wanted to be there for him (she is the best!) We went to Dairy Castle to celebrate. Grandma Lyn had congratulations hugs yesterday-I think he is still smiling inside!

Sweet Sophie...


I just love these closeup shots of Sophie Jeremy took the other night. He was playing with his new D700 and Sophie is always willing to have her picture taken! A true princess!

Vote Parker For Third Grade Student Council!

Parker's Election Posters!
Parker's Flyers...
Parker is growing up so quickly! He decided this year since he is in the big kid school that he was going to run for third grade student council. We have had fun working on his speech, posters and flyers! He definitely has big ideas when it comes to designing these. His posters and flyers definitely scream Parker! Win or loose he is great in our eyes!

Sophie's First Day Of School...

Which way to my classroom Mrs. Scamahorn?
I am a big girl now!
I remember cubbies from last year...
You can go now dad!
Today our little princess started preschool. She went to New Pathways last year for their Two's On Target program so she was very excited to get to school today. She was jumping up and down and saying "School Yeah!". She has been asking when it would be her turn because she has watched Parker go to school each morning. I have posted some first day photos that Jeremy took today as he will be taking her each morning since I take Parker and they both start school at the same time!

We are home and still catching up...

Jeremy...
I love how he is getting better at capturing the emotion...

Purple eggplant, blueberries and plum leaves-this bouquet rocked!





We made it back from California and have been trying to catch up for some time now. Parker starts school on Tuesday and Sophie starts school in Sept. We had a great time and Jeremy learned so much from the amazing Jasmine Star that his head has been spinning since we left. Tina Burnham was nice enough to send over one of the pictures she took of Jeremy at the Laguna Beach get together. I have posted some photos that Jeremy took of Melinda and Vern also.

Sophie

Well we made it to Orange County, CA on Sunday. The weather is beautiful. We are really enjoying a few days of quiet. Tonight Jeremy left to meet up with all of the people attending the Jasmine Star workshop in the morning. They are meeting at Laguna Beach and then going to dinner. I think he is going to learn so much and I can't wait for him to teach me. The kids are spending much needed time with me and I am enjoying just hanging out with them.

We had a rather unusual problem today. Last night Sophie and I got several mosquito bites while we were asleep. I was concerned because Sophie never gets bit! It is always Parker and I who they love to bite! So I was in the hot tub and met this man who asked about our stay and I told him it was great but this one little problem-he tells me it could be bed bugs! I was seriously worried at this point. Plus we are staying at one of our favorite hotel chains and have never had any problems! I went to the front desk thinking they would think I was a freak but they promptly sent two men to our room-they didn't look like exterminators as they were more like management. One guy is walking around our room talking and not looking at me but instead looking under the sink and safe and in the corners-very odd! He says "Mrs. Black, there is a mosquito in this room and I am not leaving until it is gone!" I thought sure I have not even seen one but I will wait with you. It was not five minutes later and he calls me over to the corner of Parker's bed and says look right here on the frame-it is fat from feeding on you and your daughter all night-gross! Then he said I am going to kill it but I want you to see it first! He swatted and smacked it across Parker's sheets and blood flew across the nice white sheets-I really was grossed out at this point. He said it is gone but I will be happy to call Orkin for your piece of mind-I was like "uh no I think now I believe you!" That was so random and unexpected...
