Just an update!

Well its less then a year till Derek and I get married! Kinda crazy!!! Not much is new. We took Ethan and Parker up to the Kalahari in November, then the boys came and spent the night here a few weeks ago. My dad has been staying with us which has been a blast! Right now he is back in Idaho for a long weekend and we miss him a ton! Its great having him back. Work is work... Parker is growing up so fast! Its insane. He is getting very close to walking. He says "mama, dada, daddy" Hes so fun!

When we went to the Kalahari, we were in a two bedroom royal family suite! Come to find out we were also VIP's at the resort. The hallway you had to go down to get to our room, you could not even enter without a key! It was pretty amazing and both Ethan and Parker LOVED the water!! To bad time went so fast!!
Ethan took this family pic at the Kalahari, I think he did a darn good job
Sleepy baby boy!

Merry Christmas

Pics

So the other day I got my camera out and could not stop taking pics... here are a few I took!

The pics seem to be more fun now that he is getting older! I love the stage he is at, hes so much fun to play with!

Grandpa brought his hairnet home from work... Parker walked around for a long time before he had enough of it!

This is too funny!!

Happy Halloween

On Halloween we went over to Dan and Sues for tirck or treating and some good dinner! There was a TON of people there... here are some pics. Hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!

Early Halloween!

On Sunday, Parker, Mallory and Christian and I went to the Madison Zoo to go trick or treating!! BOY was it cold. We had such a good time. Here are some pics!
On Sunday night we carved our pumpkins!! It was SO much fun. I think thats one of my favorite things to do!

So.... my last post was talking about the monster getting all over. Well this morning I got out of the shower to find this...

Explains a lot!!

Climbing? Mobile? ALLREADY???

I think the title says it all!!! Last weekend Parker learned how to climb, I thought that stuff came in a few months. I am not ready yet! He has climbed up on the entainment center, in his bed EVERY NIGHT... its become a battle at bedtime now that he knows how to stand up. The bath tub. This morning Derek had him strapped in his chair, I was laying in bed for not even 15min, I go out to the living room and sure shit he is standing up by the couch!! He is such a monster!! He has learned how to say poop... yeah not sure how I feel about that one, oh and we taught him or roar like a lion... seeing thats what he will be for Halloween. This kid catches on WAYYYY too fast!!

The old beat up tractor was Dereks when he was little his grandma and grandpa had gotten it for him. The took it with them last Sunday to fix up for Parker so he can start riding it too!!!

Pumpkin time

WOW... I am the mother of a 7month old baby boy. Where has the time gone? It amazes me on how much they change. I enjoy everyday with him, and watching him grow and learn!! He sure is a monster! Here are some recent pics! On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch and got Parkers first pumpkin! He likes to chew on his little one! He now has two bottom teeth, but will NOT show anyone. Very stubborn (wonder where he gets that from lol)! Man do I love this lil guy!!

almost 7 months....

Where has the time gone? I can not believe I have a baby that is almost 7months old!!! He is now sitting mostly by himself... not for long too much to do to just sit. He scoots everywhere... I mean EVERYWHERE!!! He is getting up on his hands and kneees but just face plants it. Oh he has one tooth :) The bottom right cut through a couple days ago. He has another thats not far behind. He is SO much fun!! This weekend we are going down to the fall shin-dig hope to see some of you there!!

Teras Wedding

On Saturday 9/20/2008 Tera Sue Theder became Tera Sue Cuthrell. It was such a fun day! I am so happy for the three of them (gotta remember Zoe!) Here are some pics from the wedding.

Where has the time gone?

I remember about 6 months ago being on bedrest waiting for this little baby to enter the world, now I look over to my bed where my little boy almost 6months old is sleeping. Its amazing how someone so little can change you so much. I love my life so much more becasue he is here to share it with me. Ok enough sappy....

He is getting so big, we have his six month appt. on Sept 12th I cant wait to see how much he weighs and how long he has gotten. As you know he started cereal and now is onto veggies and fruits. He is a very good eater besided that fact that he has learned how to spit. So half way into his meals it never fails that he spits, and yes I get covered in pretty green or orange gooh! He is rolling ALL over the place now. I will lay him down in the living room and next thing you know hes half way to the kitchen. Parker will get up on his knees, but cant get up on his arms yet.... which I am ok with. We are still working on the sitting alone.

Other then that life has been ok. Derek broke his finger about a week and half ago. So its fun watching him try and do things, I will say he does pretty good. We have not had a free weekend in I dont know how long and it does not look like we will have one till the first weekend in Oct. This Sat. we are going to the Badger football game! GO BADGERS!!! I cant wait it should be a blast. Well here are some recent pics of the lil man!
