Has it Been Two Years Already?

Wow. It is hard to believe that my little baby will be two in just four weeks. It seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms for the very first time and looking into those beautiful blue eyes. This past weekend I started putting together Parker's scrapbook for the past year. The very first night as I sat there and wrote him a letter to put in it I could hardly see through all of the tears. He has really turned in to such a little boy. Talking all of the time and running and playing just like big boys do. Just last night he wanted to do something with my mom and when she told him that he would have to ask me without even being told what to say he turned and look right in my eyes and said, "mommy inside with nana please." I mean seriously. How can you tell that no. Parker is also really into Bob the Builder and last week he started walking around the house singing "Bob Builder fix it". It is so way cute it can't help but bring a smile to your face. One day I walked in on him banging on the tv. When I told him not to do that, he said "Bob do it". My response was no, Bob bangs on walls. Well, what do you know. Just minutes later he starts banging on the wall sing "Bob Builder fix it". Saturday Parker and I went to the beach. While we were there he made a little friend and the two of them ran and jumped in the water just like the big kids do. As I sat there and watched him I just couldn't believe that my baby was old enough to play like little boys do at the beach. I must say, all that runs through my mind these days is "has it been two years already?"

Little Boys - Angels on Earth

I must say, god created angels on earth when he created little boys. Yes, Parker has his issues, but he has for sure got my heart wrapped around his little finger.


Parker and I have had the best weekend. Saturday morning we got up and did laundry and cleaned the house. Last week I got a new vacuum cleaner and decided to keep my old one for him to play with. So, we both vacuumed the house. At one point, I watched him plug the vacuum into an outlet and then he began to push the vacuum as though he was really vacuuming the house. It was too cute. After that I called dad to see if he or mom could keep an eye on the big man. Justin had worked seven days straight, so I wanted to help him out and mow the yard. So, dad came over and he and Parker set on the back porch and watched me mow, It was the sweetest thing ever. As I would pass the porch he would wave to me and smile great big.


Today, Parker and I were unable to go to church because he had a green nose when he got up, so we stayed home and made a big dinner and played outside. Once daddy got home we ate dinner and took naps. After we woke up Parker and I headed back outside to play. He decided to take a walk to nana and papaw's. When leaving there he wanted to hold my hand as we walked home. This melted my heart. Once Parker and I were all ready for bed, he wanted to lay in my bed and watch baseball, so the two of us curled up and I turned the tv on. At one point I closed my eyes. Once he realized my eyes were close he took his passe out of his mouth and gave me a kiss and then turned back around. This truly brought tears to my eyes.


Parker is also learning new songs. Currently he is stuck on Old McDonald. The funny thing is the only part he will sing is e-i-e-i-o. It is the cutest thing ever. I can see Jesus Loves Me and he will sing Jesus e-i-e-i-o. It is so funny. It is just to hard to believe that he will be two next month.

5th Wedding Anniversaryng

Wow ...... I can't believe Justin and I have been married for 5 years. I mean really, some days it feels like 55....... Just kidding.

Really, 5 years has truely gone by like no time at all. It seems like just yesterday we were saying "I Do". I must say that we have been through more then most married couples go through in their whole marriage, but with each other and god's guidence we have been able to pull through. I mean seriously, how many couples say "I Do" and then here the words "you have a brain tumor". Not many.

This year Justin and I decided to head to the beach for our anniversary. Yes, as most of you know I already spend lots of time at the beach, but the two of us never get to go together. So, we headed out on the evening of Wednesday, June 24th to start our celebration. I must say, we had the time of our life. Each morning we would go for a long walk on the beach and then head back to the pool. By then it was lunch time so we would head in for some lunch and a nap. Do to the heat we would hang out inside watching movies until about 5:00 before going back outside. One day we walk to the Jetty's and watched the sea turtles and the porpoise's swim. We both got some much needed rest and relaxation. Believe it or not, it was the first time since Parker has been born that Justin and I went away together for more then just an over night adventure. I must say that it was needed. Oh well, back to reality. Most of you know that I love to take pictures, so take a look at the ones on the right titled "Jamie and Justin's 5th Wedding Anniversary" and you can see some of what we enjoyed at the beach.
