2 year old pictures

We had our good friend and great photographer take Parker's two year old pictures on the hottest day in August! Even though we are sweaty and red faced, I think they turned out wonderful! Thanks Darci Belville Photography!!!

Grandmother's 93rd birthday party

This past August, Stewart's grandmother turned 93. His parents had a party for her in Memphis and all his family came. He has a pretty large family and most of them, well all of them expect us and his sister live in Memphis. We had a great time and the kids had a ball swimming. We sure hope to celebrate her 94th this year!!

July 4th trip

Stewart and I went on a beach trip with our good friends Robin and Bebo to Dalphin Island--its our annual trip and we had a blast. There isn't much to do on the island except enjoy the beach. We get fresh seafood and cook there and don't ever put on makeup--it's very relaxing!

Happy 4th of July!

Gross picture!

We caught our own crabs!

Stewart and Bebo setting the traps.

In July (I know I'm very far behind) we went to Chattanooga and the lake with my family. I don't remember the name of the lake but it was in Alabama. We rented a house and had a great time skiing and tubing. Stewart didn't get to go to Chattanooga but he joined us at the lake. I don't have many pictures from there becuase the ones I have involve bathing suits and I'm for sure not putting those pictures up on here :)

Here are a few pictures from the trip:

She loved the lake.

Chilling on the boat! By the way she asked for a boat for Christmas the other day. Hope Santa got that wish becuase I've been asking for a boat for 30 years now :)

Waying to the passing by boat.

The Delta Queen--used to run up and down the Mississippi and my mom says her grandmother used to talk about it all the time. It is now docked in Chattanooga so my mom really wanted to go see it--it was pretty neat!

Chuck E Cheese

So I wasn't going to be the mom whose child always wants to go to Chuck E Cheese but as I am learning....I am going to eat every thing I have ever said when it comes to children! This was our first time to go with our cousins. Parker had a blast and wants to now go all the time. Here are the pictures:

Parker and Abby (my cousin)

Birmingham

We took a trip to Birmingham this summer to visit my sister. Mom went with us and we went to the Zoo on probably the hottest day this summer. The zoo there is great though! You can get really close to the animals (maybe not the animals most natural environment but great for us). They have some different animals than the Nashville Zoo.....we will go back for sure but not in July! Here are some pictures of us sweating!

Oh they had this really fun water play area and Parker loved it!

Pretty cute Giraffe!

And the real one.

You can't see it but there was a HUGE Gorilla in this area.

The rinos!

The train ride---It was on real train tracks and went through and around the zoo--a little different from the new one here. You can see how red Parker's cheeks are---she was getting overheated!

The Kangaroos--we got to go into their cage!

Swimming Lessons

We put Parker in swimming lessons this summer. We were in a class with several friends and their little ones. There were 4 kiddos total in the class and the first two days Parker was by far the worst! She cried and wouldn't let go of my neck. However, by the end, she was better--at least not crying for the entire 30 minute class. After the week of classes we began going to the YMCA and she became pretty fearless in the water. It is so amazing to watch how much and how fast kids change. Below are some pictures that my mom took when she came to observe our lessons :)
