Baby Bell

Parker and I went down to Kim's to visit awhile ago and spent the day with her and baby Bell. We went to her dr. appt then ventured out for lunch. By the restaurant is the mall which has a cool play area for the kids. Parker loved it and burnt off some energy before nap time.

Crazy, busy life

Well life as we all know it at the Monaghan house is always busy and on the go. We closed on the house last week and will be moving the end of this week. We are moving to Holt and just renting a place for about a year until we figure out where we want and need to be. We have started to attend a new church in Holt about a month ago and absolutely love it. Parker and I have been attending the Refresh (MOPS) program every other Thursday and play dates. Brian has been busy working 6 days a week. Kayla was home this weekend as we were busy with Kristi and Jeff's engagement party, Alexs birthday party and pumpkin carving. We had a great weekend to be able to relax as next weekend and this week will be busy with moving....again.

Life on my roller coaster

We moved into our house in March and now we are looking at moving again. We put the house up for sale about a month ago and it is SOLD. Well they are doing the inspection today:( Did think it would sell that fast or I was hoping it wouldn't. So we are looking at moving in about a month. Life has changed so much in the last couple months some things for the better and some things, well only time will tell. I have learn to put all my trust and faith in God this last year. I have learned not to doubt him and lean on him. My daily prayer has become the Serenity Prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference......

Landscaping

He had to help with everything.....then time to chow down on some watermelon

OK so I have been reminded several times to update my blog, but don't find the time lately. Parker and I went to my sisters this weekend to spend time with her and go to the airshow on the base that her and her husband work at. He is such a big helper and getting so big.

Wonderful gifts

Uncle Matt and Carly were out of town for her birthday the weekend of Parker's party so he came over the other night to give him his gift. What else can I say but "that's what uncles are for" it's a very noise toy.



Parker wanted to share his toys with papa

I do it myself

Parker is mastering the "I do it myself, stay there". He is undressing himself and going on the potty on his terms but on his own. He climbs up on the potty and sits backwards all by himself without falling in and slides down too. One of these days it will be a mess I'm sure. I will try and catch him doing it I was surprised when he did it. Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Christopher got him some big boy pants for his birthday. We tried them last night for about an hour then had an accident. He is doing very well with dry diapers, but this mamma isn't holding her breath for the total thing since he just turned 2.
