Dino Dash and Wedding

On the Saurday after Cannon was born, Matt and Parker went to Downtown LR to run in the Dino Dash 1K. I was going to bring Cannon and meet them down there and take pictures at the finish line but we had a mix up with the car seats and so it didn't work out that I could bring him. Matt said that Parker did great but it was really hot and they did alk just a bit and he even carried her just a little ways. After all, the distance ended up being about 12 blocks. Here is a pic of Matt and Parker after the race petting a snake. That night, Matt and Parker went to a wedding. He said that he took hre as his date and she said No, we are just friends!!! How in the world does she know that line already??!!

Smith Cannon McCoy Arrives!!

On May 26, 2009, Smith Cannon McCoy made his arrival. Cannon was born at 12:59pm. He weighed 7 lbs and 12 ozs and was 21 inches long. Everything went very smoothly for the day. Matt and I went in at 5:00 am for the induction and from there everything was really no big deal. Here he is freshly born. Matt went to pick up Parker after nap and she came to meet her new Baby Brother. She was super excited to hold him and talk to him. She even sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star for him. It was too sweet. We have it on video but it's on a different camera and I dont know how to load it on here.

Waiting on Baby

Just a cute pic of Parker out blowing bubbles on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.

Dancing at Riverfest

On Friday, Parker danced at Riverfest. She and her dance class did a great job. They got to wear their recital costumes and even got to wear makeup!! They danced to a song, I think, from High School Musical. This is Parker and her friend Auburn.

Friends from school: Lauren, Parker, Adison, and Auburn

Here is the video of Parker's dance. It totally cracks me up. This is a pretty big class made up of 3, 4 , and 5 year olds. The girls next to Parker are 5 and one is really good. At the end, Parker's shoe was starting to come off and she was trying to tell her teacher about it.

Random Friday

Just a random Friday. Nothing much going on. If we don't have a baby this weekend, then we will have one on Tuesday. Isn't that the most exciting thing ever??!! I have been sticking around the house this week and have been to work a few times purely as a form of entertainment and a reason to just get out of the house. Parker dances at Riverfest tonight so hopefully I'll get some pics of that up b/f the New Baby gets here. Otherwise, I don't know when it will be done. Anyway-- here are some pics before school this morning. Of course, it's Lunch Box Friday and she is also taking "The Jungle Book" movie to school today since they have been learning about the jungle this week at school.

Krispy Kreme

On Saturday, Matt took us to Krispy Kreme. I had never been to an actual location. There has been one out in West LR for a couple of years now but it's not like we frequent it often or make the trek out to Never-Never Land when we have about 3 donut places within about a quarter mile or less from our house. We really only go to get donuts about 3 or 4 times a year. Well- except this year. I think that we've gone for donuts about 3 times in May alone. Oh well- must cut back after New Baby is born!! Anyway, how in my 30 plus years could I have been missing out on the wonderful goodness of a hot-off -the -fryer donut. Ah, it was heavenly. I am soooooo glad that we don't live closer-- that would be so incredibly tempting. Parker's favorite donut is a chocolate glazed but she wanted one of those and a strawberry b/c it was pink, of course! They have a kids corner and she discovered the Hungry Hippo Game. We played several rounds and she is good. Really good. I think that I see a Hungry Hippo somewhere in our future.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was pretty uneventful at our house. It was raining outside and I didn't really feel like doing much. But I did get the cutest present from Parker that she made at school last week. They gilded one of her old shoes and added the flowers and picture. It is so cute. The little pic is so funny. She is such a real little girl now rather than a baby!!

Dance Day at the Studio

Saturday was Dance Day at Miss Karen's Studio. Miss Karen usually comes to Parker's school to teach dance every Thursday morning. Parker loves dance class. Well- I think that she really love the tap shoes but she does enjoy the dancing part too. When she visits the studio, she absolutely HAS to have a pink dot to stand on- it can't be blue or green, it must be pink. I tried to get a little bit of video during the dancing. Notice how if she gets off her dot she has to look for it and get back on. Such a stickler for the rules!!

Pregs Update.

No pics again. Yeaaa! I am 36 weeks. My Dr. said he really didn't expect me to go past 38 and so we will probably induce at 38 since my doctor is on call all that week. I am finally ready and finally have a bag packed, at the stressing out of my friend, Summer and Matt. Matt is totally worried that he is going to have to go home and get all of my stuff together by himself. Well- I have it packed now so he won't have to worry about that. The room is ready. His clothes are washed and hung up. His car seat is in his room. His swing and other baby things are in there as well. Parker loves to go into "the baby room" and play with his car seat and swings. She will put her babies in them and she sometimes climbs into the bouncy seat or travel swing to hang out. She says that she is just taking a break for 5 minutes or she is just "je-laxing"-- not sure where she picked that up. hehe New Baby is probably around 6 to 6 1/2 pounds now. We don't have a final name picked out yet ... maybe this week. :)

No More Driving!!

For Parker, that is. We went to a birthday party last Saturday for a friend from school. CeCe came into town on Friday night to stay with us since Matt was going to be in Fayetteville for the weekend. The party was at a skating rink but the kids got to bring a push or pull toy to ride around on. Parker decided to bring her worm and her dump truck. Yes- she has a dump truck that Uncle Bo gave her and she loves it. She loves to sit in it and for you to push her around the house, and she also loves to push her babies around in it as well. Well- back to the driving. She and another friend from school, Braylin, climbed into someone's Escalade-type motorized vehicle and away they went. I was totally fine with that-- Braylin was driving and he is a tad bit older and he has one of these toys at home. He was a great driver. The next thing I know, I look up, and Parker is behind the wheel. I mean, the girl can't even steer her tricycle, must less something with power behind it. As I walk out to do something about her driving, she plows over a little girl on her tricycle. Great. I tell her that we need to let Braylin drive and she can ride. She was ok with that for a while and then 10 minutes later she is back at it. By the time I get there this time, they have run with full force into the skating wall. As I reach the steering wheel, she STILL has her foot completely down on the gas. I had to grab the vehicle and physically pull her foot off the gas. Luckily, it was time for the kids to eat pizza, and off they ran. I swear, it that continued, I could have had a heart attack or a baby or both!! No good pics from this week, but I'll try to do better!! :)
