Perspective of a 3 Year Old

Earlier today while her sibling was taking a very quiet and peaceful nap, Keely requested several hundred times to hold the camera (could have been a thousand times, I really don't know). Here are a few selections from the new photog:




Poor Mox, chased for nearly 30 minutes to obtain the perfect butt shot. I like to believe Keely was trying to get a shot of the tail and was hoping for the perfect lighting...









I do admit that if I had to climb something that high several times a day, I would want a picture of it too.















'Action Shot'. Taken while spinning in a circle.












Who hasn't tried to get a self-portrait? I believe it's in human DNA.













The Test: This is a close up picture of a cartoon that was on during the photo shoot. Can you tell me the name of the cartoon? and bonus points for the character name.

SNOW DAY!!!

Here is the snow-covered house....BBBRRRRR!!!!

And the snow covered Mommy and Laney.....


Of course, Keely was smart and hid in the playhouse to stay warm!!

Not Lulu...she must have made 100 snowballs with Daddy!

...and then, some fun on the sled with Daddy!!!

And then we all came in and had some hot chocolate to warm up!

Chuck E. Cheese

"Chuck E. Cheese....where a kid can be a kid...."

I don't think you can truly own being a parent until you have spent a few hours at Chuck E. Cheese! HA! Keely and Laney had a great day today at Chuck E. Cheese with some of their favorite friends. They played and danced and ate! Keely actually got to attend 2 back-to-back birthday parties, which was fun for her since she missed the past 2 weeks of school with walking pneumonia! Some of Ashley and JL's favorite friends were there too...but it was hard to find them amongst the +/-200 screaming kiddos! Good times...good times! Happy Birthday Graham and Austin!

Keely's New Haircut!!

These pictures do not capture the blue and gold glitter that they put in her hair (that does not wash out AT ALL!!!!) Keely keeps asking me how to get her long hair back....uh-oh!

Christmas in Mooresville 2008

Here are a few pictures of our Christmas visit to GramB and PopPop's house in Mooresville. Keely and Laney got to see Great Grandmama Parker and play with their cousins, Jeyaraj and Prakash.

Here is a picture of 4 generations of Parkers...

And let's not forget Uncle Tommy, the kids' FAVORITE toy! They couldn't get enough of him!
