Parker's 17th Birthday

How can Parker really be 17 already(I'm only 29-lol)and why can't we just stop aging and having birthdays when we decide? I guess it's time for me to quit calling him "baby parker"--but then again maybe not.

HALLOWEEN 2008

Sara and Parker had a few friends over for a Halloween party last night. There were lots of fun costumes and a lot of goofing off that didn't end until about 3 am (but no trouble--which is always a good thing when you have a group of teenagers together). As you can see, Sara was a ladybug and by the end of the night Parker even tried to be a ladybug.

Carving Pumpkins 08

We carved pumpkins on saturday and I don't know who was more disgusted with the pumpkin seeds--Christopher or Ford. They may not have liked the gooey mess but I think that everyone had fun anyway.

Let us out! Oct. 2008

Christopher, Gretta, Taz, and Ford trying to figure out an "escape" plan.

Camping in snow???

Who goes camping in the snow? We do! Well, not on purpose. We had been watching the weather all week and the snow wasnt supposed to arrive until late sat. night or sun. morning so we figured we would be ok to go friday and ride and come home saturday if it got too cold. Needless to say, we rode friday afternoon and woke up to snow saturday morning . Parker decided it was much warmer in the motorhome in a sleeping bag. All in all, it was worth the trip to be able to ride for a day and we didnt freeze to death.Maybe it will be warmer next weekend and we can try again.
