What We've Been Up To!

Well, the last month has flown by and we've been pretty busy! We had a fun Valentine's Day full of presents, treats, going out to lunch, homemade chicken cordon bleu and of course a four year old with a mustache!

These are the presents Parker and I gave Bryan and a yummy cookie my friend Marci made me!

Shopping for a dress for Kansas City so funny!

I made Bryan his favorite Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner

That weekend we were headed to Kansas City for our annual Awards Night. We were packing the night before we left when Heather discovered Parker's fish Finnegan had died. It was a very sad scene as Bryan told Parker what had happened and took him into the kitchen because Parker wanted to see Finn. He sunk to the floor and started crying. He got over it pretty quickly and declared he wanted a new green fish named Twist. Then he decided he wanted a baby octopus instead. After saying goodbye to Finnegan, Parker did a couple puzzles almost totally by himself! Then he came to 'help' me pack.

My packing helper made sure we had Valentine treats to take with us!

Kansas City was so much fun as always! I got to hold Roy and Megan's sweet baby girl on the plane ride there! It was the first time in my life I wished the flight was longer! We enjoyed lots of yummy food, great company and the guys and gals won Agency of The Year for the second year in a row! WOOT! WOOT! We had a great time dancing the night away and had some extra excitement when Abe and Jerika's room had a plumbing issue that resulted in flooding the fourth floor and everything below it in the hotel! It was quite an event filled trip!

Who wouldn't want to just hold her forever!?

There was an awesome magician at dinner the first night! Look at Er's reaction, I'm telling you, AWESOME!

Agency of the Year! Way to go!

Poor Jerika and Abe!

Bryan got a picture of the flood! Look at the reflection on the floor!

All Parker wanted us to bring him was a Microraptor, we could only find a Velociraptor! I think he was ok with it!

On President's Day we went bowling with Bryan's family. Parker was so excited! He loves bowling and spending time with his cousins was just icing on the cake! We bowled three games and the first one Parker kicked everyone's trash! (Uncle Tracy ended up beating him by one pin!) Then after we surprised Mom by meeting at Red Robin to celebrate her birthday!

Parker's dinosaur helped him bowl his awesome game!

Yep my kid bowled a 143!

Matt thought toweling off his ball might help his game

Parker wanted to sit by Jake at Red Robin, he loves his cousins!
