The Kids

(So i just discovered this post, I started it a LONG time ago and figured I might as well put it up. However I will be posting again soon, one for Em's 9 month and then obviously for P's birthday)

Hanging out in the awesome carts at Lowes

Their first bath together

So I realized lately that I have not posted very much about the kiddos these past few months. Remember when P was a baby and I posted every month about what he was doing ... Poor Em! I have hardly done anything for that little girl (at least in regards to photos, journaling, etc). So I'm going to update now!

The P-man!

Can I just say that it blows my mind that this kid will be two in just over a month!! When did that happen????

P is so funny! Seriously, he makes me laugh ALL DAY! I'm amazed at how much he can talk. He not only repeats whatever he hears, he also talks to himself all day long. For example, right now he is playing with Mr. Potato Head, his current favorite toy. As he is playing he is saying, "One arm, two arms, Ooo-Kay! Eyes, O-Kay! Mustache, MUSTACHE! Big one, little one, another one. Ooo-Kay! Feet, Ooo-Kay! Away, Ooo-kay!" Then he takes them apart, puts them away, and then dumps it out and starts all over again. I'm not exaggerating when I say he plays with the potatoes for at least 3 hours a day!

He is a lot better at entertaining himself, which is nice, but we do still love to play together. This past week he has been weird about me being around. If he has someone else to play with (Aunt Rachel, Daddy, ect.) and I come over to join the fun, he gets all upset and says to me "AWAY!!!" "You want me to go away?" and he says, "YEAH!!!" It makes me sad and makes me laugh all at the same time. He is usually pretty good about sharing with Em, but some times he throws a fit if she just touches a toy he has. If you are doing something he wants to do himself, he shouts in a whiny voice, "PARKER, PARKER!" or "Parker's turn!!" or "Parker do it!" He is mr. independent so for my own sanity and his happiness he get to help with EVERYTHING.

  • He still LOVES puzzles and can usually figure them out first try.
  • Loves his shapes.
  • Can count to 11, but has recently forgot about the number 10.
  • Knows all of his friends and mommy's friends by name and asks to play with them.
  • Love, Love, LOVES to read. Has all of his favorite books memorized.
  • Loves to vacuum, sweep, and do dishes.
  • He loves to spend time with his grandparents
  • When he wants you to come play with him he gently pokes you with one finger while he says your name and then he says what he wants you to do.
  • He does not like to pose for the camera.
  • He loves to go to the library and to music time
  • And most of all he loves to run around!

The Little Lady
It is hard for me to believe she is already so old. We love her to pieces! Here are some of our favorite things about her right now:

  • Her hair is finally calming down, but I'll be honest, I kinda loved her crazy hair.
  • She has no desire to eat from a utensil, but loves to feed herself
  • She loves to sit or stand and watch her big bro play
  • She is still quite the growler, if she growls that means she is happy
  • She recently really started to babble "mama" "dada" "baba" "nana" are her most common babbles
  • She is a booty-scooter. She can get anywhere she wants, but doesn't crawl there
  • We frequently call her Em the Owl because she can turn her head REALLY far in both directions but never moves her torso, it is so funny!
  • She is quite the feisty lady and knows what she wants and is not afraid to let you know too.
  • She is also very serious which means she is pretty stingy with giving smiles, so if you ever get one ... feel special!!


Aren't they cute?

I know what you mean about the lack of posts for your second! It's a constant battle to do keep up with all I did for Nate to do them with Emi.

Your kids are so cute! And so smart! You're an awesome mom and I love reading your "mom" posts.

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
