Fever

Parker woke up with a fever on Thanksgiving morning--of course, we have to be sick on the holidays. Anyway, it has lasted a couple of days, and finally yesterday I told Parker that his fever had gone down a little bit. A couple of minutes later Parker comes to me and tells me his stomach hurt, because the fever went down to his stomach. Then about an hour later, he comes and tells me that the fever has now moved down to his feet, which means he is almost all better, because the fever will soon move out of his whole body. What a funny boy! I forget kids take everything so literally.

One More Picture

Here is one more picture that I love--probably because this picture describes my life...notice Parker between my legs hanging on. Side note: right after this picture my kids almost knocked me completely over.

Family Pictures

Well, we FINALLY had our family pictures taken. Here are some of my favorites...

It finally happened...

I knew it would happen eventually, but today it finally did. Tyler decided he was going to change his last name and move out. Why? Well, didn't you know, Brock and I are the meanest parents EVER!! We don't let him watch TV whenever he wants and we never let him buy ice cream from the ice cream man. (Which, I daily curse the DUMB ice cream man.) Anyway, he said he would rather go play with his friends, change his last name and go live with some of the "nicer" neighbors. Unfortunately for him, I called all the neighbors as soon as he left, so they all turned him away at their doors. When he came back to our house to get a sweatshirt, we told him we didn't give food or sweatshirts to little boys that didn't live with us, so he would just have to stand out in the cold. Well, it took 30 minutes in the backyard with him crying, throwing rocks, crying some more, but he finally yelled through the window that he was ready to change his last name back to Bean. Ahhhh....we have our son back.
