CRAWL over each other

8/1/09
yes i recorded it sideways, I was so mad!

it "never" looked easy... but after trying this myself, Dave is AMAZING. i can't believe he can surf with kids on the board as well as himself it is H A R D
No i didn't add my embarrassing video's recorded by Jake! haha
i had a blast trying even if i never let go of the rope to actually "surf!"

Parker's cousin Jantsen had a birthday on July 25th and we just wanted to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY once more!!! He is 5 years old now, I can't believe it! We were able to spend time with him while he was here visiting, had a birthday party for him and Parker and him got lots of play time in. These two are hilarious and are unseprable when they are together! Jantsen is a great kid, and the best cousin to Parker. they are BEST FRIENDS and i wish we lived closer so they hang out everyday! They get along so great, are so funny together and we miss him now that they have returned back to Ohmaha!
Hope you had a great birthday Jantsen, thanks for being so nice to parker, sharing your toys and always being so happy to see us. We love when you come to visit and look forward to seeing you next time! love ya:)

One fun thing we did when we were both in orem, was Janel and I took Jantsen and Parker to ICE AGE 3!! it was fun to take the boys out, they were so good and laughed through the whole movie. i'll be honest, i laughed a lot too, i think it is the the funniest of all 3 movies (my opinion)
THIS age is so much fun! it feels like you get to do "grown up things!ha
THANKS FOR HANGIN OUT WITH US!
Parker was really happy, he just didn't want to take a picture with me, only jantsen, sad!

So with James working out of town a lot... when he is home Parker follows him around and plays with him as much as he can! just wanted to put a few pictures of fun things they have done together this summer....

Washing our car:

Parker thought this was so fun, even when James would spray him from the other side of the car! He thought he was such a big kid and was telling Adam how to wash a car. As you can see... Adam thought it was a fun activity until... James sprayed him with water! sad but Parker hugged him and made him laugh and he was fine after a few seconds!

Flying a Kite:
Parker's first time flying a kite!
It was funny because he just ran
after James the whole time and thought it was awesome. Now he always wants to go out and fly his "Iron Man" kite!!!

Future Gymnast on our hands:
James taught Parker this somersault and the next day he was doing a running front flip!! {okay it is a running somersault.. but that is was Parker calls it!}
i know.. why didn't I teach him these tricks!? well he had been dong rolls forever but not with the "arms up" in the beginning! ha it was too funny


I love the end of the first clip, when he complains of his back... maybe he won't be a gymnast too big of a woos! sorry Parker! i just could not stop laughing at him!


Want to add a little trip that James had... he works with the young men in our ward and they went on a 3 day camping trip to Moab. He had a great time along with everyone else. It is a great group of boys and leaders and James has really enjoyed his calling in our ward. they took tons of pictures but here are a few of their trip to the arches.
They did lots of hiking, river rafting, rappelling, biking, rock climbing and of course camping! Hearing their stories, it was pretty intense, tough at times, but they all had a great time. No one got hurt, luckily and the boys said it was their favorite trip yet!

James doesn't "make" our blog often... so I thought I'd share this fun trip he had!haha
