Parker the Pie Man

Parker had his name drawn out at school to be in the Pie eating contest at the Fall Festival. He was soooooo excited. He couldn't even sleep the night before. Parker is so cute because it is the simple things in life that he loves the most. Like, eating pie as fast as he can in front of his entire school. Oh Parker!!!!

Brock's #1 Fan.... Breezy

I have a great friend. Her name is Bree Edwards. For me, she is the best friend anybody could ask for. For Brock, She is "Breezy" She has been around for Brock's entire life. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she loves him. We joke all the time that he should have been her kid. They have so much in common. They like the same things and eat the same foods and laugh at the same weird stuff. Bree listens to Brock and he loves her so much. She is always so supportive of him and Brock is so lucky to have her.

Meet Brett Michaels and Capt. Jack Sparrow

I am not a big fan of Halloween!! But every year, we go all out! Parties, and parades, and trick or treating and on and on and on. This year was no exception.
Brock was Brett Michaels, (which I personally thought was AWESOME) and Parker was Capt. Jack Sparrow. I totally convinced him that all pirates wear mascara. It was my chance to just see those super long eyelashes with makeup. They had a parade and party at school and we trick or treated with the Edwards in our neighborhood. I survived. But I will probably not be looking forward to it again next year. Yep that's me, a "Halloween Scrooge". I hope my famly had fun though.

Football, football and more football!

So, pretty much most of August, September, October and half of November was completely consumed by FOOTBALL! Let me just start off by saying that in the beginning, I was totally against tackle football until the boys turned 12. Cory had a different plan. He said "Jer, they need to learn to tackle when all of the other kids are learning to tackle." This made sense to me. So I caved. We signed Brock up for football in July. I have absolutely no regrets. It was so much fun. Not to mention, Brock loved it! He made weight (76 lbs) which means he did not have to have an "X" on his helmet. This didn't matter though. Brock played right guard and defensive tackle the whole season. He was in the whole game, every game. He had amazing coaches. They were brothers, the Tufts. They were hard on the boys but never screamed at them or put them down in any way, shape, or form. The team had a really good season. They made it to the playoffs, won their first game and lost the championship game to the undefeated Herriman by one point. We all made lots of new friends and I am officially hooked and can't wait for next year.

Parker played flag football again and Cory Coached. It was great. Had lots of his friends on his team and he did awesome. Although, sometimes I think Parker forgot that he was playing flag football because he did some all out tackles. Parker has decided that he wants to try tackle football next year as well. It will be the only year in little league football that the boys will get to be on the same team. Summer cannot come soon enough for me.

I would like to thank our families and the Edwards for always being so supportive of everything Brock and Parker do. We are so lucky to have you all!
