Brockstar and his 7-on-7 Team

Brock and his 7-on-7 Team
Originally uploaded by ParkerCircus

Brockstar has been very busy this summer. As the school year ended, he was playing baseball, football and basketball.

I think his favorite has been the 7-on-7 football games and tournaments. It is fast-paced and he and his friends are good! So good that they won the first tournament that they entered and have been playing in a league. They are undefeated.

This picture was taken after the tournament in May where they took first place and qualified to play in a state-wide tournament in July.

Way to go Brockstar!

Schwimmin'

Memorial Day was a relaxed day. I don't think we did anything other than watch some movies with the neighbors and let the girls play outside.

We set up their little blow up pool and they had a blast! It has a little waterfall/sprinkler feature that they loved. Squiggles liked to crawl out of the pool too. In. Out. In. Out.

These two pictures crack me up because you can see Stinkerbell doing her own little dance in the background.

Elmolicious

For Stinkerbell's birthday, I made Elmo cupcakes.

They were a lot of fun to make and were a huge hit. Now I think I may need to branch out and make Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Grover, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang!

We had a great birthday party for Stinkerbell last night after a long day of football with Brockstar. I will post some photos of his game and the cupcakes we made for the party.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!

I am two!!

I love my pink blankie but I will share it with my sissy, My-Eee.
I can't say my Rs or my Ls just yet. I think it really cruel that my sister's name is Marley.
I think it hilarious when I say "night night" to the couch.
I am bossy. I have recently noticed that I get in trouble when I yell "No!" to Mommy and Daddy.
I love to be outside. I draw with sidewalk chalk all over my Bubba's basketball court. I have a bucket and a shovel that I use to try to dig up the yard.
When someone asks me how old I am, I look at my fingers first and try to hold up just two of them. I get frustrated and just say "Twooooo"


Here I am with Mommy, only 1 day old.

Here I am, six months old


Here I am one year ago at my first birthday


Here I am at 13 months

Test entry from my phone. I hope it works.

Easter Goodies

Happy Easter from the Parkers!

Stinkerbell had her very first Easter egg hunt. Brockstar and Michael hid the eggs for her and she had such a good time looking for them. However, once she discovered that the eggs had CANDY (and other non-food treats) in them, she was less interested in finding the eggs and more interested in opening them.

We managed to keep her on track and she found all of them.

In all of our excitement, The Mom forgot to tell her about the Easter Bunny and how he hides the eggs. I guess she thinks there 's a very colorful chicken running around our neighborhood that lays M&M-filled eggs!!

Her favorite non-M&M treat was the sidewalk chalk. She created a series of masterpieces on Brockstar's basketball court.
After the egg hunt was over, we put all of the eggs in Lovie's giant aluminum bowl for a photo session will Squiggles. She was very patient as The Mom took about 50 pictures trying to come up with a couple of decent ones. Sigh. I need a fancy schmancy new camera like my sisters have!
I guess this is now an annual tradition. Below is Stinkerbell from last year...same bowl but with more eggs.


"Okay. Enough already. I'm outta here."
