Tate and Papa-Great

Papa and Sybil (Bradley's grandparents!) came through Amarillo after church today and were able to play with the boys for a bit. We always love to visit with them! Thanks for making a special effort to visit us! See you next weekend!

Christmas in June!

Bradley and I were on kid duty...thank goodness!

The FBC Amarillo staff has its Christmas party in June...no snow, play outdoors and generally a calmer schedule! We always look forward to it! We love you all!

The kids always like to play on our bed! I think they are playing good cops in this picture!

Marci, Landri and Cooper came to Amarillo for a visit this week! We had a short but very fun visit! We sure do miss seeing them everyday! It was great to catch up a little and just hang out. See you in OKC in ONE MONTH! Can't wait!

Yesterday was also FBC night at Wonderland. It was a blast. Parker has literally talked about Wonderland since we went a year ago...so we knew fun was in our evening! After a really quick Amarillo storm, the sky was clear and was a beautiful and cool evening.

Movie Night!

Little did I know that an innocent moive night could teach me so much about how God created my Parker!

Bradley decided that Tuesday night we would treat Parker with a movie and popcorn...let him pile as many pillows in the living room as possible and just hang out! Everything was going as planned and very fun until Parker turned around with a shaky chin, big bottm lip and tears while somehow managing to get across that Bolt lost Penny. He was upset the rest of the movie all the while we were reassuring him that Bolt and Penny would both search for one another. While I wanted to tell him that there is always a happy ending, I refrained, for the Lord doesn't promise us a happy ending every time! When Bolt and Penny found each other, he sobbed even harded because he was so happy! I was crying to...not at the movie...but at my Parkerman's tender and compassionate heart! Thank you Lord for this precious gift!

Breakaway 2009 family picture

After the camp reflection service we always take a family picture. It was almost 8pm and the boys were worn out...but they were good sports! I really missed camp this year and look forward to attending camp next year!

3 months...and an awesome big brother!

Waiting to leave to head to Austin to return to Amarillo!

Wake up Tater...it's time to get on 2 planes now.

My happy, laid back 3 month old!

My precious 3 year-old who dressed himself for our walk tonight. Boots and no socks, striped underwear showing through the yellow shorts! Amazing! We are home; the reunion with Bradley was so sweet. I made it just fine changing planes, diaper, restroom and feeding Tate all in the 30 minutes between flights! Whew! We all wore our camp shirts...it was fun for the boys and in case Parker bolted from me, I could spot him! He doesn't normally do this, but just in case...

Let's do it again in 2 weeks! I LOVE summer and traveling!

It's Friday, I'm in love!

The whole crew!

JuJu and Tate!

We are so, so ready to see you Bradley!! We had a fun morning with the girls and their kiddos at the pool! I'm a bit sunburned but the boys are fine! As soon as Parker wakes up, we are headed out for a nice dinner! It's our last night here; I cannot believe it! See you tomorrow! Love!
