Annual Girls Trip to the Pumpkin Patch - Back to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect gourd. Once again, we went to the patch featured on "Little People Big World". We timed it right, and cameras were on-site filming for their next season. Mommy had to sign a release form for Parker to be filmed decorating a tiny pumpkin. Now we patiently wait to see if she was saved from the cutting room floor!
Frozen on Ice - The princess got to dress up, and watch her favorite princesses perform on ice. What an amazing production. Disney does it right!
Halloween - Double dipping the uniform from the Ducks game, we had the cutest Halloween cheerleader. Although it was POURING on the big night, she still partied and braved the rain with her best friend.
(Not a fan of cleaning pumpkins!)
(Daddy was a cheerleader too!)
A Night at the Ballet - Family date night watching some talented dancers take the stage. The theme was "Selfie", and we took the theme seriously.
Dentist Trip #2 - How can you dislike a dentist with flavored gloves, silly voices, and TVs on the ceiling? Healthy teeth, and happy mommy!
Taking the Plunge - Six months ago Parker would kick and SCREAM at the thought of getting in a big kid pool. Now (with lots of work from swimming lessons and TLC from our bestie Renee) she is not only in the pool, but going underwater on her own accord. Super proud of this girl!
Thanksgiving - We were non-traditional this year, and enjoyed Aunt/Chef Kimmy's Stromboli. Yeee-um! Then Kimmy surprised Parker with her very own Christmas tree. Such a sweet relationship and memory with these two!
Here Comes Santa...on a Helicopter - The big guy flew in to visit with a few 100 kids...and a dog.
CHRISTMAS!!
Christmas Dance/Parent's Show - It's a beautifully bouncy "Marshmallow World" for this little girl!
The Elf Came Back- Mimie, our favorite Santa's helper came to visit, watch, and report Parker's naughty/nice factor to Santa! She even got into a little naughtiness of her own!
VACATION - Back to the Cornhusker state and Grammie and Papa to play in the snow, eat Runza, bake with grammie, love on the kitties, and ride four-wheelers!
(Someday she'll be old enough to go with the boys!)
Santa made it to Nebraska bearing a Barbie pop-up camper, and the big bang introduction into the Barbie world. Other spoils include an Easy Bake Oven (which surprisingly pumps out some pretty good bites), Sheriff Callie dress up, and adorable clothes for the little fashionista.
These trips always go too fast, but we did manage some super fun times with our Nebraska and Colorado family! We love you all and enjoyed every laugh, and squeeze. Thanks for adding more pages to our memory book, and Grammie/Papa, thanks for making everything perfect...always.

Ringing in 2016 - We accomplished the 4-year old version of a New Year celebration taking advantage of east coast time. While we had the usual clappers and noise makers, what better way to make noise than daddy's goose call?
Meanwhile, the 4-year old refused to go to sleep and managed to celebrate west coast New Years as well. Can't keep her down...or in bed.
Snow in Oregon - How exciting to wake up on a Sunday morning and find snow! Parker had send a message to her snow partners in Nebraska (Grammie and Papa)!

Hobbies: Dancing, reading, arts and crafts, coloring, watching cooking shows, playing dollhouse, playing officer Foods: Mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, Brussel sprouts, apple sauce, peppers, jell-o, fruit, fruit, and more fruit, and (when mommy or daddy lets her) chocolate Clothing: Dresses, dresses, heels (children's version of a wedge), and dresses. Parker-isms: "Pleeaaase? I beg you" (said when she wants something, anything.) "Let's, like, talk, Valley Girl!""That. Is. Crazy." OR "That. Is. Hilarious." "In my last class there was a girl named Eva, in this class is her twin sister Ava. I'm not sure where Eva went." (Note: 'tis the same girl she speaks of) Parker Poses
