Parker's First Haircut

So today Mommy finally bit the bullett and gave Parker his first haircut.  I'm not going to lie, I definitely had to hold back the tears :)  No more hair in the eyes though and he looks pretty handsome!

Here are a few pics of the before...

During...

 And the after...

My baby looks so grown up now!!!

Sort of, Kind of Parker's First Steps...

So, yesterday Parker took some steps all by himself!!!  He took 6-10 steps about 6 different times.  Won't be long!!!!!!

Minnesota Wild Hockey Game

Hockey is big up here so we couldn't leave without going to a pro game!  The atmosphere was awesome and we won!!!

It's Official...Texas here we come!

YAHOOOOO!!!!  We finally found out we do get to move back to Texas!!!  We knew we eventually would but everything is now official.  Patrick will be working in the Woodlands area...including the counties of Montgomery, Grimes, Walker, and Madison.  Not the area that we were originally expecting to move back to, but we are excited for the new opportunity and ready to get back close to family and friends.  We are in the process of searching for a rental home and trying to figure out where we actually want to set down roots and the best place/opportunity for my career as well.  Let us know if you will be living close to us or have any advise on towns around that area.  Please keep us in your prayers as we make the move back down south to warmer weather :)  Patrick's last day will be April 20th, but hopefully Parker and I will make it back a little sooner!

Parker couldn't contain his excitement!!!

Time to get packing!!!

Turning 28

So this is a little late, but I wanted to briefly recap my 28th birthday festivities.  The Saturday before my birthday, we all went out to eat at the Mexican restaurant in town.  And of course they stuck a sombrero on my head and sang me a little tune :)  Then they tried to feed me my free dessert and shoved it up my nose and almost broke my tooth...but all was good and we had a great time.  Sunday Patrick surprised me with a babysitter, thanks Melissa, and he toke me to see one of my favs The Beauty and the Beast in 3D.  It was still the same movie but it never gets old :)  Tuesday was my actual birthday and Patrick had to leave town early that day, so I thought I was going to have to celebrate most of it with just Parker.  But low and behold my wonderful friends up here, Jen Megan Melissa Kimmy Emily and the two little bits Ansley and Aria, surprised me with pizza and the most awesome Dirty Dancing cake!!!  And they were dressed in 80's outfits...love these girls :)  Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes.

 The Federated Women! (minus Kimmy)

 Love me some Patrick Swayze :)

Still enjoying my 20's, however the big 3-0 is fastly approaching!

Parker's First Aggie Basketball Game

Last weekend we made the trip down to Iowa State vs. A&M basketball game.  It's just a little over 2 hours from our house, so not too bad.  Patrick was able to get "family" tickets from a friend that works for the team, so we were right behind the Aggie bench.  We lost big time but Parker was amazed by all the action :)
