stuff.

Time for an update:

Everyone that sees Parker lately keeps telling us that he looks old. I think I don't notice it because it is happening right under my nose. But it's true. His legs are getting longer, his body is getting taller, his face less round and his little soul is just getting older. He has always seemed to me to be an old soul stuck in a little body. He loves funny things like working and home renovation shows. Yet, still he seems like his five year old, middle child, emotional self. John and I went to his first Jr. Jazz basketball game last night. I can't stop smiling every time I think about it. It was so awesome. Him running around the court in his little jersey so intense and so happy. What a stud.



 I honestly don't know how Ruby does it. She is classic. She is so full of rage and so full of love at the same time. Maybe a little Jekyll/Hyde. We love her and her "why did the cow cross the road?" jokes. She is talking so much, learning so much and cracking us all up. Parker has deemed Ruby his nemesis, not officially, but the two drive each other crazy. I really hope they out grow it or I might need to resort to something other than diet coke as therapy. I'm also not sure why she never has pants on. She loves to get undressed and redressed. She also takes out any hair do that I try. She gives the best hugs and we are "beh frens." Love that crazy nut.






Soph is such an awesome 2nd grader. She is loving school. She is loving reading. She is such a little golden child. She writes me nice notes, she says thank you and she makes her own lunch almost every night. Her favorite thing to put in her lunch is "fruit salad". She gets out the cutting board and cuts up tons of different kinds of fruit and makes her self some fruit salad. It cracks me up. She stinks at going to bed, but I think it is because she has Connors blood through and through. :)

'Tis all for now. Perhaps back to more regular blogging now....

Oh man, I watched that cute cow joke movie a couple times. Sophie looks so grown up. I need you to come curl my hair like hers in the morning, it is (she is) beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing about Deak recently; 5 is such a "growing up" age. The legs are longer, and the chubby cheeks slim down. He is such a great mix of the both of you.
Cute, cute kids.

Yup, you captured the kiddos there. I sure adore them! Kinda partial to their parents, too.

Oh, and sorry about the Connors blood. I actually think it's Parrish blood sifted through the Hansen and Connors lines. (Blame it on Gram)
