Parker...

This one is all about Parker. It is going to be hard to pick pictures of him. He has been a ham since the day he was born. So I have tons a great pictures of him.Parker Ryan was born June 22nd 2005. He was 8lbs 2.5oz. and 19inches long. Parker was our chunky monkey. He had rolls that were on top of rolls. When Parker was born he was tan & chubby. I was in labor for 5 1/2hrs. He was alot like his brother. LOVED to sleep & still does!

Parker had GERD when he was born but it was controlled by meds. He was much happier after we started the meds. Than shortly after he began to crawl it was fixed all on it's own. Parker had curly hair which was simply adorable. He had and has a stuffed monkey named "Bob" He just loves Bob so much. Parker has always kept us busy. He is our handful. But always smiling and making people laugh.

He was the silliest toddler. He has always been a mommies boy & I am ok with that. He is always telling me I am pretty. He also says I am his girlfriend. I think the first thing he thinks of in the morning is mom & the last thing at night he thinks of is mom.

Parker has a way of making everyone smile. He also has a way of driving us crazy. He swears & says the most off the wall things. But that is what makes Parker, Parker! He did spend 5 days in the hospital for having the rotovirus. Which is a nasty no good germ.

Although he drives us banannas. We couldn't imagine life without him. Parker is a sweet caring & goofy boy. He loves like no other I know. He has a huge heart. Parker also loves life. We are happy he adds such spice to our family. Life would be boring for sure if Parker wasn't in it. He will be graduating from preschool in one month & will attend kindergarden in the fall. We love & are very proud of you Parker Ryan.

All about the kids...

I thought I'd post one whole post for each of the kids. After all they all deserve to shine in their own way. So the first one is all about Mason.



Mason Spencer was born Febuary 1st 2003 at 5:01pm. I was in albor for 9 1/2hrs. he was born at St. Luke's in Racine. He was one of the last babies born there before they closed down & moved to St. Mary's. Mason was 6lbs 9oz. & 19inches long. He was such a little peanut. We named him Spencer after my mom's maiden name. He was a great baby right from the start. He slept great just like his mommy & smiled all the time. I got to stay at home with Mason. And we loved our time together.

He was a fun loving silly goofy toddler. Mason was always making us laugh. He was full of energy. Mason loved to give hugs & kisses. He was also a very smart little boy.he was always singing. Mason loved for us to read to him. Mason had a very special stuffed puppy that he had since he was born & he still has it today. He loves that puppy to no end. We found out Mason was deaf in one ear when he was 4. You'd never be able to tell he was. He also has surgery to remove his adnoids & tonsillis at the age of 4.

          This was his graduation from preschool. He loved Mrs.Shelly but could wait to go to kindergarden.  

Mason also has had a love for music since the day he was born. He loves playing drums & we bought him a big drum set a few years back. He still says it was his best present ever. Maybe a furture drummer in a band?!?!

Mason is an amazing 8yr old now. I really am not sure where the time has gone. He has brought complete joy to us everyday. He makes us smile all the time. Mason is still a very caring, loving & funny boy. He is a big smarty pants & is so proud to tell everyone that.Mason loves baseball, the Brewers, the Packers,the beach, bike riding, video games, playin' drums & telling jokes. He continues to make us proud. We love you more and more each day! All the pictures I included are the ones I love of Mason. 



New baby cousin arrived...

My new cousin Brianna Joy Hanson arrived yesterday at 3:05pm. She is 4wks early but is doing great. She is 5.2oz and 15inches. Brianna is in the NICU but doing wonderful. Daddy got to feed her yesterday and she did good. I got to see her & mommy today. They are both good just really sleepy. Mommy went through alot yesterday and needs a few days to recover. But they both look good. We are so excited for all of them. I am sure I will share more once they are home. 

Waterparks & baseball

We went to a waterpark a few weekends back with Mike's family. It is a yearly thing we use to do that we are starting up again.

 Sophie worn those googles almost the whole time. Even when she was eating she had them on. The kids had a blast together,they always do! It was a nice weekend away. Can't wait for next year.

Let's play ball

So it begins...baseball season with the boys. Mason's first practice is tonight & he is so excited to get this season started. He will be playing in a new league this year. Kids pitch to kids. I am also excited but also know that the weeks to come will be full of practices & games.

Parker will do t-ball again this year. He is also very excited. He just found out he will have the same coach as last year. We are so excited to play for Coach Jason again. He will also get to play with his cousin Katelyn. I will post some pictures of the boys in their baseball gear.

Let's play ball & hope for warmer weather!!
