I Hope They Call Me on a Mission!

My cute sister just turned in her mission papers, so now she is just playing the waiting game.  My guess is Denmark, although she is hoping for stateside.  

Binki?

After many attempts and absolutely every kind of binki made, Parker has refused the binki, (I am not quite sure if I should be glad about that or not).  But give him a sock or the corner of a blanket and he is in heaven.  I think we all know where he gets it from, right Grandpa Jeppsen? 

Mother's Day

At Brandon and Caitlyn's preschool they honored the moms with a special day at preschool.  I got to go and spend the day with each of them.  On Caitlyn's day we made necklaces, planted flowers, and ate abc pretzels.  On Brandon's day we made bracelets, planted pumpkin seeds (which are just beginning to sprout), he gave me a hand massage with smelly lotion, and the famous abc pretzels.  Here are some pictures of Cait's mom's day, but silly me I forgot the camera on Brandon's day, sorry bud!

Tubby Time

Parker's first time sitting up in the tub.  He loved it.  

Go D'Backs!

Brandon started T-ball in April.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to make his first game, but Matt came through and took some great pictures.  At first the players were just hitting from a T, but by the end they were hitting off a coach pitch.  Brandon said his favorite position to play is pitcher, and just today he made a great play to first base and got the runner out.  Although I have to say that I think we might be in trouble in the future because after I had been to 2 or 3 games, Brandon and I were talking one day and he said, "You know mom, you really can't talk to me during the game, I need to pay attention to the ball."  I am thinking when I tried to talk to him, but I didn't, I was just "cheering" for him when he got a hit and stuff, so I said, "Do you mean when I was cheering for you?" and he said, "yeah, you have to be quiet."  So I took that as he was embarrassed that I was being so "loud" so I have been trying to keep it to a minimum.
