long time no post



so it's been a while... thought i would catch up a bit. I have a billion pictures to post. this first little pic is of parker's ankle after spraining it in an intense game of b-ball. his poor ankie....i wouldn't let him go out and walk on it for 7 hours so i made him come to the pool with me. sad story, i know. i got him a better wrap later...this one i found in our dinky first aid kit. his ankle is just about back to it's normal strength and will hopefully be stronger for it.so the day after parker sprained his ankle, we flew to st. George for Jon and Jen's wedding! this is a pic of mount St. Helens from the plane. don't ask me why, but this is the only picture i took at the wedding. i guess i got caught up in all the excitement and let amy do all the picture taking. i stole this one of the bride and groom from her blog. this pic is of us transporting the cake in the back of my dad's car from the reception to the luncheon for the next day. It was like 10:00pm and still like 90 degrees. needless to say...i for sure thought those layers were going to slide right off with every turn. it didn't...but i was ready to document it if it did.
the happy couple. have to love that princess bag. they are so in love.
we had a really fun 4th. we went to a pancake breakfast at the church...the 4th just wouldn't be the same without it. then i actually went out knocking with parker for about an hour. sort of fun but i would never be able to take that much rejection. haha it was fun seeing parker in action. gotta love this face from parker...classic.we went downtown to gas works park for the fireworks which supposedly ranked top 5 in the country. they shot off the fireworks from that barge in the middle of the water.we grabbed some thai food near where we parked (like a mile and a half away). It both parker and my first experience with thai food. it was really yummy...probably shouldn't have gotten it so hot...our noses were running all night. i don't know if it was authentic...(we'll have to ask John and Erin!)..but it was good.check out the mass of humanity. there were people everywhere. we actually lucked out for getting there so late and getting a really good seat. the people around us had been there since 11 am and we didn't get there till...7ishisn't that skyline great?
yay for fireworks. it was definitely the best show i've seen! can you beleive i've only ever seen the firework show in st. george? best part: they flew this big army helicopter thing around the bay during the national anthem and it was carrying a big flag underneath it. awesome.
we splurged the other day and got all our favorite foods at the grocery store. not on purpose, but when we got home we realized everything we bought. pringles are my new favorite...except when i eat so many i get sick. parker snuck off while we were shopping and came back with sushi for lunch!! what a husband! how did a girl like me get so lucky.he knows what i like! ha

hey hey! I've been looking for your blog.. I came across it one day and then i couldn't find it the next time i tried so I'm glad you commented. It looks sweet where you guys are at... cool city.I wish we would have had time to come up there. Maybe it's still a possibility? Those fireworks looked awesome too, especially right there on the water. I'm glad you tried out some Thai food... I forgot to tell you to always go with mild. They love the spices. We are out in San Fran now! So start planning your trip to come out because we would love for you to come stay and play with us.

Oh Yeah parker I'm sorry about the ankle... you just need to not get so fired up in those games! I'm glad you've got a great lil wife to take care of ya. Hey you get that ankle better because we want to get a group of however many wants to and come run the San Fran Marathon next year around August. John and I are planning to do it and it'd be sweet if you and Kate want to. Think about it... you got 1 year.
