Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's Day with a lunch on Sunday for the majority of our family. It was great to be together and the boys were so excited to have everyone at their house. They love showing everyone their toys and fun stuff that they like to do at home. Jackson and Drew are a huge blessing to me and so many other family members!

Moments with Moms

Drew's preschool had Moments with Moms before school finished. Drew has loved going to school and playing with all his friends especially Walker. We have also enjoyed some time together while Jackson is in kindergarten.

Kids' Marathon & Country Music 1/2 Marathon

Jackson worked and ran a lot during the month of April to complete the Kids' marathon. He ran 1 mile every day with a group at school then ran his final "26th mile" on Friday night, April 29, at LP Field. Ready to run...
Jackson's #1 fan--DrewJackson and his friends from his kindergarten class had fun training together and running the race as a group.
Go Jackson!!!
Mommy and Daddy are so proud of Jackson!!
On Saturday morning, April 30, Andy and I ran the Country Music 1/2 Marathon. Andy's company, DCI, had a group to run and raise money for Kidney Camp. They have the camp every summer for kids who are on dialysis or have had kidney transplants. Over 40 people from the corporate office participated in the 1/2 marathon and raised over $25,000 for the cause. We were so thrilled!! Also, Andy did great in the race with a time of 1:39...so proud of him!

Easter Egg Hunt

For Easter, we spent the day in Columbia. We had lunch at Grammy and Papa's house then went to Granny Evans' house to hunt eggs and have dessert. Both the boys were so excited about hunting for eggs!
They both had to wear their new sandals for the egg hunt!

Easter Morning

The Easter bunny visited our house and left some treats for the boys. They both love playing hockey in the house and had asked for a goalie helmet. The Easter bunny was able to find a Predators street hockey helmet for them to share along with the Tangled DVD. There was also a special request for a chocolate bunny.
Jackson models the goalie helmet and his other Easter goodies.
Drew's turn to wear the helmet. He is also showing off his new sandals.

Preschool Easter Party

Drew's class at preschool had an Easter party and egg hunt. They had some yummy treats in their classroom before going to the playground to hunt for Easter eggs.
Drew is ready for the egg hunt.
And they're off...

Saturdays in the Spring

Our Saturdays have been busy this spring...Jackson is playing baseball for the Dodgers and Drew is playing soccer for the red team. They are both having so much fun!

Preschool Spring Program

Drew's preschool had their spring program at the beginning of April. The 2's classes said their memory verse and sang songs. They sang "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," "Love Grows," and "Lord's Army." They were precious!!Mommy and Daddy are so proud of our sweet boy!

Predators Hockey

The Nashville Predators have had a wonderful season, and the boys really enjoy hockey. They play games all the time at home with their "hockey guys" and with their hockey set. Jackson knows all the players and their numbers. Shea Webber is Jackson's favorite player, and Martin Erat is Drew's favorite player. We have been blessed to attend several games this season. The boys like to arrive early and watch them practice. Because of this, they have both gotten several pucks from the players (which they think is so cool!). When we were in Tampa this fall, we were able to see the Preds play the Tampa Bay Lightning.Jackson and Drew both got pucks at this game, because there were not many Preds fans at this away game. Jackson got a puck from Shea Webber, and Drew got one from Shane O'Brien. They were so thrilled!
The whole family enjoyed watching the Predators win on the road!
In December, we went to see the Preds play with some people from Andy's work.
Thanks to Katie, we were able to go to the game on St. Patrick's Day. The crowd was more rowdy than normal that night.
Drew with his "fang fingers" when the Predators had a power play.
In April, we were able to attend the Predators playoff game against the Ducks. The crowd was so loud and it was a really fun game.
Doesn't Jackson look like a real hockey player with his front tooth missing?!? HA!
The Parkers say, "Let's Go Predators!"

You've Got a Friend in Me

The boys received Buzz and Woody pajamas for Christmas. These two brothers really do love each other, even though it may appear differently at times. Nothing better than sweet and clean boys in their jammies!
