picture overload

We have been up a lot lately. I'd like to tell you with photos.

 Here is a photo of Ty's first bed head. He must have had a pretty rough night! ha.

 Jessica and Jake graduated University last weekend and so we went to celebrate with them. Here's a photo of Ty and Michael playing on the huge field of grass before dinner. 

 We got them a game called "ladderball". We play it at all our Parker family reunions, and it's always a good one for a group of people. Team 1.

Team 2.

 UGH, okay I know you have all seen this photo already, but I wanted to document it here. Michael went out Sunday morning and found this on our car. Whoever did it placed it, then moved it around. We were so upset. The brick isn't even from our yard. So frustrated that we have to pay out of our pocket for something like this. 

 The Malmbergs invited us down to the cabin at Echo Lake for a few days. It was SO much fun to relax, enjoy the fresh air, and hang out with some awesome friends. Here is Cali wearing Ty's sunglasses. She really loved having them on.

 Dad pushing Ty on the tricycle.

 Michael pushing Cali on the tricycle. You can't tell here but she loves it.

 Okay here are a couple photos of Ty in a life-jacket. SO cute, and here he is actually smiling for the camera! He never does. His face was super squished from the jacket.

 Can Ty even see? haha

 Heading down to the Lake to go in the boat.

 The Dad's dipping the kids feet in the freezing cold water.

 The Moms all ready to go with their kids!

 haha Ty was starting to hate the life-jacket. While we were in the paddleboat, Ty kept leaning over and putting his hands in the water, and then he tried to put his face in the water and drink it.

 Michael would do this to Ty and he would just splash like crazy. I wish I had a picture of Cali too. Dustin would lower her bottom half into the water and she would kick so much. They loved being in the water, even though it was so cold, and were both ready for a warm bath after.

 This is how to entertain two one year olds.

 Michael and Dustin trying to catch a fish that sat in the same spot the whole time we were there. No luck though. They were out like this for about an hour!

 Michael is not naked. He is just slowly lowering himself into the water. Torture. Dustin was smart, and just jumped right in.

 Nicole and I out on the paddleboat.

 Michael and me in our pjs. Notice the BEAUTIFUL sunset. Pictures are usually not very good at showing how beautiful sunsets really are. After the kids went to bed we came outside for a fire and smores.  

 Ty and I chasing the birds at the park.

 Checking out the birds.

 Ty loves all animals! He always gets excited when he sees one. 

We were wondering where all those little guys were.

We also got a lot of shopping done in Kalispell. We love going down there. Now we are home, and getting ready for Ty's first birthday next Saturday. Nothing spectacular, just a BBQ outside to celebrate this little guys first year with our loved ones.
