Easter Weekend

For Easter weekend, we were lucky enough to get to spend the whole weekend with my family. It was such a blast! On Friday we went to the hockey game. My mom had picked up some earplugs for Parker because last time he would get scared and upset every time someone cheered. They actually worked pretty well! Thanks Nonni for lookin' out!

On Saturday my dad and Trav started work on a new pergola (spelling?) for their deck. Who knew there was enough sun to get burnt...but Travis sure did!!! Travis and I told my parents that we were going out to dinner with some friends of ours, so not to expect us for dinner that night. Really, my sister had been planning a surprise party for them. It was my mom's 50th birthday on March 22nd and my dad will be turning 50 on April 17th! It was so hard to keep it all a secret, and I think that several people (especially Scott & myself) almost blew it so many times! We were all waiting for them at the Crazy Moose Casino...they were both so surprised! I can't believe we actually pulled it off! Dinner and drinks were a blast. We all had such a great time. A special thanks to Chip's sister Kassie who watched Parker, Caleb, and Drayson that night! I'm sure having all three was quite the handful...but she handled it like a champ! I'm sure Caleb was a big help too (such a great big brother and cousin!)

Sunday was Easter obviously. Travis and Dad finished up the pergola while Mom and I went to church. Parker stayed home and took a nap. After church, we all headed over to my Grandma Janet and Grandpa Bill's house for yummy food and an Easter Egg Hunt!!! Parker did great and everyone had a good time. I, for some strange reason, did not take any pictures. Ugh...I know! Parker had finally warmed-up to Drayson. Of course it was on the day we were leaving! On the first night we were down...Parker would get scared and cry almost every time Drays made a loud noise. It was so sad. I'm sure once we move down there he will get used to all the noise and be just fine! I can only make so much noise in our little apartment...obviously I need to make more!

Now that we are back home Parker is back to being himself. We are getting back on our schedule and he is as noisy as ever! He found a paper bag this morning and decided it was the best toy. He got mad at me when I took it away. He has also figured out how to roll all the way across the living room to get to what he wants. We are really going to have to watch him like a hawk now! It was pretty funny this morning when he rolled over to Deacon and rolled on to his paws. Deacon put up with it for a little bit before he ran away. Parker just wanted to play with his buddy!

Happy Wednesday!
