Fun visitors & trips!

Hi Everyone!!
Busy last 2 weeks for us (common theme, isn't it? :)....Pop & Patsy (aka Nan) came for the 1st weekend in March -- Patsy's spring break --- and then last Thurs/Fri/Sat, we went to Raleigh and stayed with Annie/Mike/Hailey/Nicole & my Mom! I had to work there on Friday, so the timing couldn't have been more perfect!

Of course our time with family always flies by... :( .....but we sure enjoy every second & are thrilled we got to see everyone!

Sitting with Pop

Getting ready for the Dook/UNC game!!!

Look at me!!!

Happy Girl knows the Tarheels will WIN!!!! & she is correct:) although she sleeps through the game!

Before the game @ Firebirds for dinner with Nan!

One day on the porch last week with Daddy while Mom was working

Onto Raleigh....

Got going kinda fast! Good thing Grandma & Daddy are here to help!

Mom & Nicole

Springtime is here!!!! Cute sweet Hailey :) 11 months in a few days!

Sutton is doing great with her helmet. She still is wearing it, but is on the tail-end of the journey! It will either come off on Monday, May 19th or Monday, May 26th!! So proud of our girl!!! Now we had to borrow one of Hailey's bows to get used to the way Sutton will look without her helmet -- she likes it!

Now we are home again & enjoying this warm weather....Sutton is sporting some of her new "hand-me-down" clothes for Spring....I'm loving it!! This weekend we may head up to the mountains for a quick getaway -- we need a break :) 

HAPPY SPRING!!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

M, E, & SC

Happy Thursday...It's March already!

Time is sure flying by, isn't it!?
It's been another hectic week thus far in Charlotte NC, but I guess we wouldn't have it any other way!

Very exciting news first -- My cousin (& one of my best friends) Erin & her husband, Isaac, found out yesterday they are having a GIRL! Although they live in Madison, WI, we stay in constant contact & are just thrilled for their exciting news. Of course we are biased towards little girls at this point :)
They had the cutest "reveal" of the gender with their parents -- They had a cake made (only she knew what they were having until yesterday! what will power!) with the inside to be blue or pink! See pics :) So so cute! Congrats E & I!!!!

Beautiful couple :) showing off the cake "news" of a girl!! I want a piece of that!

What a cute idea -- Such a tiny bump, E! Eat more cake :)

Super cute mama!

The highlight of Sutton's week was her 1st trip to the HARRIS TEETER!!!! Yes, I know she is 6 months old & this is just ridiculous...but it sure seemed like a lot of work to take her :) but I will more often now -- she was fascinated!

To teeter we go!

Checking out the meat section

Reading the tabloids at check-out

Really interested in the tabloids :)

someone on the loud speaker!

All that shopping wore me out!

Eric is off to his interview right now with LPL...so Sutton & I are saying a quick prayer for Daddy.....We also are taking advantage of this awesome weather this afternoon!!! We took a walk & then sat out back!

She loves the outdoors!

That's all for now! Tomorrow we welcome Pop & Nan to Charlotte -- Can't wait to see them. Will post pictures of their visit next week :)

Have a great day everyone!

Uncle Tim....6 months old....Valentine's Day....and THE bug

Sorry this might be a long post, but I definitely wanted to get everything in from the last month (Sorry we've been MIA!)

Tim came for a visit in early February -- Sutton was very happy to see her uncle & we all enjoyed his company; LOVE family time....

Comfy hanging out with Uncle Tim!

Brothers in Hoodies. $$.

Maddie is getting closer & closer with Sutton!

And Sutton turned 6 months old on February 13th -- Katie & Garrett helped us celebrate while Tim was in town :) Sutton was thrilled with the attention & with the new outfit/blocks set from her Uncle Garrett & Aunt Katie....but wanted to grab her candle on the cupcake :) Check out the side of her head in the picture of Sutton in Katie's lap -- the head is getting better!!

They probably could have gotten her an empty bag with tissue paper. HA!

See? :)

Wow, BLOCKS!

Check out my new hot pink outfit! It's a hoodie too!

The girl knows what she wants -- cupcake!! or is it fire? :)

HAPPY SIX MONTH BIRTHDAY, SUTTON CLAIRE!!!!

We all love you....

Already chomping on the new blocks...hanging with Aunt Katie!

Uncle Garrett -- Thanks for my presents!!! Hope to see you soon:)

Valentine's Day with our sweet girl...She got her Daddy a card & She made her Mom one too. So sweet!! Eric & I got takeout & just celebrated loving this family so much. Of course, Sutton had a new outfit for school with hearts all over it :) 

And lastly -- I just wanted to tell a story. So, the stomach bug has made it's way into the Parker home. It started with Sutton on Thursday night/Friday of last week(-end)...and kept us home from the mountains, where we'd planned to go with friends....This week, it claimed Eric for a few days & I spent some time in the guest room to avoid it :) Clearly I have had my fair share of doing loads of laundry on "hot"....sanitizing the house again....and cleaning up poop/vomit -- but apparently I hadn't had enough.
On Tuesday night this week -- the day the bug got Eric (picture him unable to move off the bed or couch) -- I was bathing Sutton before bed when I saw the look on her face. I thought -- please no, this can't be happening. Seconds later, she made the same face & Poop was EVERYWHERE in the tub & all over her....I had to quickly get her out, clean the tub, re-clean her, etc etc....
and as soon as I put her to bed, I walked downstairs to figure out what soup I was going to get Eric to try & I walk into Maddie's poop. REALLY!? So, as I like to say, this week it just feels like I've been pooped on.
TGIF ya'll!!!!!

What a week :)

Keep washing your hands -- from our home to yours.
XOXO

A visit to see Pop & Patsy!

Hello everyone! I hope this finds you all staying warm with this bout of winter chill....Looks like the groundhog was correct after all....but we're not letting it slow us down!

We made a road trip in January to see Pop & Patsy (Nan) & their new home in Richmond...It was a very quick trip :( but we all had a wonderful time...Sutton was wonderful in the car for the 5 hr drive, but didn't sleep too well in the pack n play...Princess is clearly used to a much thicker mattress :) spoiled already!

Sutton's 6 month birthday is tomorrow -- I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. I also cannot believe there was ever a time where she wasn't in our lives. Kind of strange :) Tim, Eric's brother, is here this weekend to help us celebrate with Sutton. She loves having her uncle here. I will post pics of his visit & the bday later this week.

We are off to the mountains next weekend with a large group of my sorority sisters, their husbands/boyfriends & a few other babies...Let's hope Miss Sutton does a little better in the pack n play there or it could be a long weekend. We're looking forward to the fun & we'll also get to see Meg, our niece, for lunch! 

That's all for now. Enjoy the pics & check back soon!!

xoxo
