birthday weekend/ mothers day

The weekend of mothers day we had a family get together for Parkers birthday/ mothers day. I did horrible with taking pictures of the weekend though. Anyway, everyone in the family came except Paige of course, she's in Brazil on her mission. Because of the time people got in, we didnt really get together until Saturday.  The plan was to skype with my sister in the morning (or atleast hear from her in the morning to know what time we'd skype) then go play for Parkers birthday. Well, we did a LOT of waiting! During that waiting we did some presents for Parker.
This year we got P a strider bike! It took some time to warm up to it but he loves it now.
my sister-in-law had a superhero outfit made for Parker. it has a mask, cape, and wrist cuffs.
P wanted me to be a superhero.
They also got him a sweet tractor book with moving tires on the outside. at the time, he liked t he book more than the superhero outfit. My sis got him a tractor and a tractor book! (we were going to do a construction theme party, thats why all the tractors)
look who got caught actually getting along: Parker and Harrison! Its crazy how close in size they are even though they are 9 months apart!

So we finally decided to just stop sitting around waiting on my sister and we ate lunch and headed to the zoo. of course right as we pull off the interstate, she emailed me trying to set up a time. she wanted to skype in just over an hour. we live 20 minutes from the zoo. there was no way to do the zoo in 40 minutes. so after getting super frustrated with her through emails, we just drove back to the apartment and waited. she was having technical difficulties so we had to wait longer than planned to skype.  but it was good to see her and she's doing well.

after naps, we wanted to try and do something! so we went to the YMCA that has an indoor pool with a slide and cool things. The awesome Y with the outdoor waterpark wasnt open yet. P still wasnt digging the pool yet and didnt even get in. I think he was still kind of sickly from the week before. Harrison wasnt feeling well either so we probably only stayed an hour.

Sunday we had a BBQ for mothers day. My cousin and his wife were in town to do summer sales so they were able to come too. Again, didnt do well with taking pictures and didnt get any with them. It was awesome to see Tyson- I havent seen him in probably 6 years! We would hangout in the summer in high school when I went up to Utah.

After my siblings left P had a great time playing playdough with Papa
