Twinsie Day at School - Which one is Parker? Which one is Emma? Two extremely cute little twinsies!
Pizza Playdate - Nothing better than pizza, games, and winning tickets for extremely cheap prizes! Collins and Parker had a blast!
Valentine's Day - Valentines box and exchange with friends. A special Valentine lunch from mommy, and super festive heart hair made for a LOVEly day.
Winter Cheer Camp - Back to West Salem Highschool to learn some great basketball cheers with Collins and our most favorite cheerleader ever, Ashley. Parker LOVES cheer camp, and getting to perform at the game. We can't wait for next year!!
Career Day - What does she want to be when she grows up? Officer Parker reporting for duty...donut included for added affect!
St. Patrick's Day - Even with an upgraded trap (reinforced with a steel basket) we didn't catch the little green man. He disappeared with a shenanigans on his way out.
Daddy and Bullitt's Birthday's - She is the queen of surprise parties. They didn't have a clue...kinda.
Fundraiser Rewards - She (cough cough) worked hard to become the top fund raiser for the school's spring fundraiser. Her winnings - a limo ride to a pizza party, and "Leaping for Lincolns" (jumping over jumbo $5 bills and earn the amount she jumped over = $30!!)
Easter - Another year visiting our favorite Easter egg hunt with our bestie! And of course, the Easter Bunny couldn't resist hiding some eggs and spoiling somebunny special!!
McTeacher Night - How much fun to be served by your teachers at one of your favorite places (Old McDonald's).
Bucket Filler - A Bucket Filler is kind to others to keep their buckets "full". Parker won the Bucket Filler award during the April school assembly. (Thank goodness a little bird told mommy to be there!)
Ag Fest - We joined thousands of our closest friends at the Ag Fest. (Read: a small scale state fair, less stuff, WAY more people!) While it could put some nerves on end (Mommy's), Parker had a blast petting animals, panning for gold, playing games, and getting her face painted!
Mother's Day - A new piece of PRICELESS artwork has joined the collection. Painted solely by my little artist with direction from a "real life artist" at school. I'm honored to be this little one's mommy!
School Field Trip - A trip to the children's museum with three kindergarten classes = SO MUCH FUN! Being a class chaperone, I now have even more respect for our teachers. God Bless you people!
Kinder Music Program - Parker volunteered to have a speaking part during the program...she was amazing as she opened up the show. Proud parent moments right here!!!
Grammie and Papa Visit - It's one of our most favorite times of year...Grammie and Papa come to Oregon, to play, spoil, play, and spoil even more! Bike rides with papa, special games with Grammie, family trip to Enchanted Forest and LOTS of fun food and memories in between!
(Papa's homemade Hatchimal, and Grammie's extra special chocolate surprise!)
Dance Recital - "Dancing Down Mainstreet" was the theme this year. And my little librarian was AMAZING. She is growing into such a good little dancer, and quite the beautiful performer on stage!
6th Birthday - And like that...she's six. SIX. Six years ago, I thought she'd never come out, and here she is, sassy, spunky and loving as ever. I'm so proud of all that she is, and all that she'll become.
(Birthday treats at school!)
Imagination Birthday Party - Back to the children's museum with 12 friends, pizza, and cupcakes with edible bubbles (seriously...they were a hit!). Mommy had a surprise guest, our bestie Ellie, who she hadn't seen in almost a year, yet time must have stood still, because they were once again inseparable! What a fun birthday party with some of the cutest kiddos ever!
A few of our favorite things (Parker verbatim): Hobbies: Jump on my daddy, having daddy tickle me, dance, running, play soccer (editor's note: she's never played soccer). Food: Chocolate, fruit, steak, mac n cheese School: I don't have to do tons of work on a computer.
Parker-ism's:
%#$@ INSERT LOTS OF EXPLETIVES HERE AS MOMMY ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE GREAT PARKERISM'S FROM THE LAST FIVE MONTHS. These are what I can remember. $&$^%@!%&
These should be called "blue balls". - referring to blue berries
P: Do I weigh a lot?
M: No.
P: Do you weigh a lot?
M: Yeah, I need to lose weight.
P: There's this stuff on TV, that you can buy, it's called Nutrisystem. It helps you lose weight. You have to be over 18 years old to call. You're over 18. You can call them. Can I watch cartoons while eating breakfast? That way I can get the phone number for you.
I'm really happy. This is a really big deal. - on turning 6
