My Uncle's Wedding

Resse and Cristin
NaNa and Hunt




Parker, Erin, Cristin and Callie



Parker McLaine

















This weekend I went with the babies my mom, Reese, and Cristin to Dallas for my uncle's backyard wedding. Nathan went to his 10 year high school reunion. I wanted to go with him, but we did not have a babysitter for lil Parker and she is still breastfeeding. So I went and had fun with my family instead. It was a fun/challenging weekend. We stayed up late and only went for the day. Plus with all three little ones on a 4 hour car ride things get a little crazy.. Overall it went smoothly. My sister, mom and I had alot of time catching up on our long road trip. We stopped a couple of times at play/rest areas to give the kids a break. I did not get as many pictures as I wanted and since Nate was not around I don't have any with me..Oh, well maybe next time.

Parker 6 weeks
















Parker is also growing fast she is smiling, and starting to coo. She is mostly a happy baby sometimes fussy at night right before bed. I think she gets gassy. Poor baby girl. She is such a great edition to our family. When she cries Hunter points to wherever she is and I have to go take care of her immediately. Hunter is a big helper he gets her binky, softy, diaper, and loves to give her pats and kisses. He tries to sing rock a by baby to her as well. Parker is very interested in Hunter and I pray they grow up to be best buddies. Parker eats every 3-4 hours and is awake 4 hours during the day. She loves tummy time and can really lift her head up high. I mainly pump and give her the bottle, but at night I breast feed. It seems to calm her down and soothe her. I am very lucky to have my mom helping me almost everyday. When she is not here it is very hard and sometimes stressful. Thanks MOM you are the best mom around. I hope I can be just like you.

15 months




Hunter went to his 15 month appointment. Wow I can't believe he is growing so fast. His stats Height 32.6 inches 90% Weight 22.4 lbs. 20%. He is one lean mean fight machine.. His ear tubes are doing great and he is meeting all his developmental milestones. He is talking and saying lots of words. He is running and when I say running this kid is fast. Every time we are out in public people tell us he should be a track star. He knows where his head, eyes, nose, belly button, ears, knees, toes, and tongue are. He tries to sing songs with us, but they are not very clear he does the hand motions to the wheels on the bus, if your happy and you know it, and head shoulder knees and toes. His vocabulary is around 20 words. He knows what I am asking him to do and most of the time follows directions. Not always... I do not have a perfect son. He is into everything and very mischievous. He loves cars and always wants to drive. Recently he started wanting to take showers as well. My baby is growing up way to fast.

Peanut Butter
















Need I say more. My child loves peanut butter, he will point to the pantry then we get in there and he only wants the peanut butter. Just like his mommy. So today I let him have fun and dig in. So precious. Parker will soon love peanut butter as well.

Golfing
















Hunter loves everything daddy does including golfing. They are always in the backyard hitting balls and practicing. It is the cutest thing ever. Hunter has so much energy he will just run around the yard with dad. I love my boys. Here are the best golfers I know. Oh, did I mention my son is the next tiger woods. We even watch golf on TV and Hunter says Daddy's.. Smart boy.

Lake House Weekend.
























































What a fun weekend I spent all week in Dallas with my mom and relatives, then we were off to the Wilson lake house. It was so nice to see all of the Wilson's.. I love the lake it is so relaxing and not to mention. My mother-in-law makes the best rita's in town. We hung out swam, jet skied, and got a little sun. Parker got to meet her great grandma!! Mommy got a little break and Hunter had his first jet ski ride. He was not that in to it. The water was a little ruff for our 15 month old. Hunter loved to sit in the boat with his grandpa and honk the horn.. So cute. Hunter loves his girl cousins and had tons of fun. Parker just did her thing:)) I love the lake did I already say that.. I must be sleep deprived.

Bad Blooger..

I have been so busy with two children.. I have not had time to blog. Nathan and I have been going to dinners with friends, traveling to Dallas, Pool time, and Lake days. My life seems to fly bye I can't believe Parker is about to be 6 weeks old and my maternity leave is almost over:(( Being a mom of two brings lots of challenges everyday. I have to let alot of things go and just relax.. Easier said then done. Here are some things that have been going on these last 3 weeks.
