This post is a tribute to our Grandpa Parker who died this past week. We are so sad that the last time we got to see him (above) was over 3 years ago. We love him so much and we will miss him with all of our hearts. He was an inspiration to us both and our lives have been made better because he was in them. We named Jacob Robert after Grandpa (& my dad) so at least his name will go on in our family! We will love you forever Grandpa xSaturday, February 28, 2009

Lauryn gets her National Swim Level 5!!!!
Friday was testing day, and unfortunantly due to Jacob's sickness I missed it! But she was so excited about getting this far, and its a great boost to her confidence. She is the fastest swimmer in her group and often catches the person in front and has to slow down. Travis and I are always telling her to swim around them LOL ;D
At least this week is 'Free swimmming' with it being half term, so we will be meeting the cousin's at the Pool in Formby and she will be able to show me what she has done. She is looking forward to racing her cousins in the big pool. ;D

Valentine's Day
These are my beautiful roses.......................
OK so we had planned a romantic night out, without the kids, but had to cancel at the last minute, as Jacob started throwing up, he had caught the dreaded 24 hr stomache bug that was going around and had previously hit Katherine & Joshua. (Lauryn & I had the honors of catching it the next day!) I felt so bad for my poor little guy, Travis took the 3 older ones to their swimming lessons, and I stayed home and cuddled my baby. I supose by now we are prepared for this kind of thing, and though disappointing, it didn't matter really. (and on the plus Jenni has offered to watch them another night)
We had Els the next day, while Jen & Pete went to the temple, it was hilarious walking around the shops with all the kids and my neice. We got ALOT of stares. You know - like how did we manage to have 2 babies, that obviously were not twins, but not a big enough gap to physically possibly happen!!! LOL. It was pretty hilarious. She should have been wearing a T-shirt that said "I'm the neice" ;D
