We Love Cousins!!

Yesterday, we got the chance to tend ALL of our nieces and nephews at our house. They are all so stinkin' cute. Its amazing to me how easy it is to love other people's children so much. And, we sure do love them. AJ and Kaci are visiting from Alaska, we wish they could stay forever!

Welcome to Scouting Parker

Parker started Cub Scouts last month. So far, so good. He's having fun and learing lots of fun new stuff. Parker is very "goal" (reward) oriented. I'm excited to watch him pass off all of his goals.

All About Parker Week

Everybody knows that birthdays are really big deal for our family. And, I am perfectly fine with that. Parker's Birthday was on a Thursday, but again, we celebrated all week. Parker is a really great kid and he deserved it. He was baptised on Saturday March 5th and it was a really special day for our family. I know Parker was completely ready to be baptized. He was so excited about it. He was pretty excited to get pocket knife from Cory as well. I want to share a little story that shows that Parker really does just "get it":

A couple of weeks before he was baptized, he was reading the Book of Mormon Reader. (the Book of Mormon with lots of pictures). He was in the middle of it and he said "Oh man, another guy is gonna see an angel". I started to laugh at his expression with this and I said, "but Parker, can you imagine how cool that would be to see and angel? I have never seen an angel." And my cute little Parker T replies, "Mom, you haven't seen an angel because you are already smart enough to believe the truth. Only people who aren't smart enough to believe in the truth need to see angels." Right then I knew that Parker is really beginning to understand the Gospel and I hope with everything inside of me that he is always "smart enough to know the truth". Happy Birthday T- We love you very much!

Christmas 2010

We love Christmas time here at the Proulx house! Here's how we celebrated!

Happy 33rd Cory! December 23. We love to start the celebrations on Cory's birthday by having everybody over for Ice Cream and Cake and presents of course.Every year we do something fun with the Edwards for Christmas. This year, it was a HUGE breakfast on Christmas Eve morning. Next, Christmas Eve. Always with the Tattons. We go to dinner and then back to Grandma and Papa's house for lots of fun! Grandma made ALL of us matching pajamas. Soooo Cute! They gave Brock and Parker iPod touches. (and then we didn't see our kids for the rest of the holiday)We spent Christmas morning at home. The big guy came and spoiled the kids rotten with pellet guns, and remote control trucks, a long board, and lava lamps and new snow clothes, and snowboards and video games and all sorts of fun stuff. Brock and Parker are two very lucky boys. I never want the magic of Christmas Morning to go away! Later in the afternoon we went to Grandma Nett and Grandpa Joe's house for dinner and more fun. I didn't take my camera and I will have to steal some pictures from Annette. We had a Yummy dinner and exchanged gifts. Merry Christmas everybody!
