Quick Update

I know it has been almost a month since my last post and really I guess I just have been lazy about it. So what's new? Ummm......Jared started a new job about a month ago and is really enjoying it. He is working 12 hour shifts which makes for a long day away but more days off. I am happy he is enjoying himself. I think all the medical terminology that he learned in school is really helping and it is really interesting him too. I am still working on Fridays while Jared stays home with the babies. He is so great to help so much. I have the cutest little girl 4 days week, and since Jared doesn't work Fridays, it worked out that I could. Jared watches Parker and Felicity! Jared has his hands full for sure. I've been working fridays now for maybe 2 months and Parker will still not take a bottle for Jared! he is so stubborn, I've had to drive home on my lunchbreaks just to feed him! Parker is nine months old tomorrow and very much attached to me. (which I love) He is babbling,crawling,walking along furniture and keeping us busy. He loves to be held and bounced! Quite the workout by the way! He also loves the stroller, so I try to take him out in the mornings before it is too hot. I have to say that it is quite strange going back to work. I know it's only 1 day a week but still weird. I always enjoyed my job before but I love being able to stay at home. It is so fulfilling. I never thought I would enjoy not working so much. I am so grateful for the chance to be at home with Tanner and Parker. The pic above is of Parker, Felicity, and Lacy. My sister and I get together every week with the kids. I love that we live so close to each other. It's so cool to see how big the babies are getting. I can't believe they will both be one soon! They are so cute just playing together too!

This is from last week when Jared got home from work. he is always so excited to see Parker smile and crawl right over to him as soon as he walks in the door. Parker is such a cuddle bug too. It seems like he's hugging us when we hold him. I love it!

On Jared's day off we played some basketball with Tanner while Parker watched. It was so hot, but we had fun with Tanner. Tanner loves basketball. He is always telling us that he needs to practice so he doesn't lose his skills. He is such a good boy. I can't believe he will be 7 next month. I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it. Ok sorry I'm better now but seriously it goes by so fast. Tanner is doing so well in school too. I'm so proud of him. He loves to read books and always does so good on his reading races. I've been feeling bad about not blogging more about Tanner. He saw my last post and it was all about Parker. He said he needed some pics on here too. I completely agreed so I told him he has to let me take more pics of him so I can post them. He is always on the go at home and I'm usually inside with the babies. Tanner is such a joy in our lives and we are so grateful for him.

I love our self portraits. I have so many of Tanner and I from before Jared and I got married. It was always just Tanner and me. We always had lots of fun but I know Tanner loves Jared so much and he loves being a big brother. He loves to help with Parker, most of the time too much help.

My 3 handsome boys! I am so blessed to have these guys in my life!
