Parkman's Bash

We celebrated Parker's birthday with family and friends over the weekend.  The kids had a ton of fun in the bounce house (thank you Finston's) and the adult seemed to have a good time too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA!!!

Parker's turns ONE

It is hard to believe our little guy is already ONE! The first 4 months of his life went by really slow but the past 8 have gone SO FAST! We spent Parker's actually birthday doing lots of fun things. Kaylee and I took him to get his 1st haircut, then lunch, then to pick out a balloon and cupcake and then off to Disneyland that night for a couple of hours. It was a great day!

Parker James,

You are such a joy to have around. I feel so blessed to have you in my life. You make me smile every day. I love you forever, I'll like you for always as long as I'm living my baby you'll be

Love Mommy

Laundry Basket

 We have found a new form of entertainment in the Ritter house... I push the kids up and down the hall in a laundry basket. The kids laugh hysterically and I get a little work out all at once. 

Our little man... cannot believe he turns ONE this week.



Parker's 1st Disney trip

We went to Disneyland with Lori and Leah. It was Parker's first time. He was so entertained. So glad we have passes again :)

?!?!

Do they still look alike??? Both Kaylee and Parker at 11 months. Parker is obviously a lot bigger than Kaylee was at this age but I still think they look a lot alike :) I love these smiley babies



Poor Baby

Parker got his first ear infection.

My poor little guy was miserable.  



My girly girl

Kaylee loves getting a manicure and pedicure with me.

 It is something I love doing with her. 

Puerto Rico

Jeremy and I were lucky enough to enjoy 5 nights and 6 days in Puerto Rico! The vacation was hosted by a company that Jeremy buys material from "Walter".We were there with 540 other electricians. Our 6 days were jammed packed with fun adventures, sight seeing, Jeremy golfed, I went to the spa and enjoyed the pool, cocktail parties, dinners, and some much enjoyed adult time. We met some great people and really enjoyed spending time with Zoltan and Krista.  

Our first day we went zip lining. It was really fun!

I was so shocked I actually did it I am scared of heights.

That's me about to take off

Us the 2nd night at a Walter's hosted "Taste of Puerto Rico" night.

The next day we went to Zoltan and Krista to a beautiful rain forest and did a hike to a water fall and then went to an amazing  beach.

La Mina Falls

Zoltan got in the freezing water

So green and pretty this was my favorite thing we did

The last day we went to old San Juan this it is such a cool city with a lot of character.

Our farewell dinner

As you can see it was very windy. The weather was super tropical, with lots of rain. I'm glad we got to experience Puerto Rico. And most of all I'm thankful I got to spend time with my hubby :)

THANK YOU to my parents for taking care of the Kaylee and Parker.

We are so lucky we can leave and not worry about our kids.  

11 Months

 Parker is now 11 months! He is doing great and learning new things everyday. He still LOVES his food and has tried just about everything. He is no longer eating baby food he eats whatever we eat. He likes to feed himself. I love that he is not picky at all. He will eat anything. He now has 6 teeth, has gotten his first cold, had his first ice cream, drinks out of a sippy cup (finally), and has stayed with Grandma for a week. He is sweet, easy going, happy, chubby, and all boy! 

He really enjoys bath time. I love the last picture he is having SO much fun splashing :)
