11th Anniversary etc....

So, I know I am such a slacker! I'm going to try to 'catch up' in the next couple of posts. First Bryan and I celebrated our 11th Anniversary on May 14th. We went to lunch at Cafe Rio, and then to the driving range. Bryan's been wanting me to try golfing for a while now, so I decided to give it a go. We just shared his clubs and he gave me some pointers and I went for it. I am not good by any means, but it's something that I think we could enjoy together. He went and bought me my own set of clubs that day! We've only been to the driving range twice since then, and I think I am improving a tiny little bit.

We received some sad news Memorial Day weekend that my grandma had passed away. We miss her, but we're so glad that she isn't suffering anymore. She hasn't been doing well for a while and it really was an answer to prayers that Heavenly Father finally called her home. We were able to spend several days with family in Idaho and even though it wasn't the happiest of occasions, it was nice to see cousins and other friends and family we hadn't seen in a long time.

On a lighter note, I celebrated my birthday in June. It was a Monday and Bryan decided to take the day off. We took Parker to the aerospace museum at Hill AF Base. It was so fun! None of us had ever been there and Parker loved all the planes, helicopters and jets! Then Bryan's mom was nice enough to watch Parker while Bryan and I hit the driving range. Bryan even baked me a cake, which was awesome! Then the best sister in the world bought tickets to the Lady Antebellum/Tim McGraw concert! Sadly, I found out shortly after my b-day that Bryan's annual agency trip had been changed to that same weekend! After many days of going back and forth about what to do, I decided to go on the trip with Bryan and my SIL Alison is going to come down and go to the concert with Heather.

Parker and Bryan inside the only aircraft you could actually go inside. It's some sort of helicopter, that's all I remember

I had Parker stand next to this tire so you could get a sense of how big it was. I don't know why, but he started folding his arms in all the pictures he posed for that day, funny kid!

Parker loved the planes with 'shark' faces as he called them. He is REALLY into sharks right now, there is even one on his shirt he wore that day

They had really HUGE aircraft outside. Bryan and I had to duck to get under some of them. Parker didn't, but he saw us doing it and thought he had to do it too!

And finally, Parker LOVES taking pictures. If I leave the camera where he can get to it, I am guaranteed to find some of his photographic genius! Here are a few gems for you to enjoy!

My hand blocking my favorite paparazzo from snapping a picture of me in the dressing room!

He is very proud of the fact that he can write a 'P' all by himself!

And my favorite! His foot through the bench in the same dressing room mentioned above. Pretty cool huh?
