Showing off their Lightning McQueen tattoos
Luke: "Mommy! Chester Whipplefilter has a hot dog in his mouth!"
Climbing trees!
Mason: "Mom! We are in our bunk bed!"
Our mama hummingbird came back this year!
Making bow ties and hair bows for my kiddos :)
Eating cereal on Mommy's bed in the morning
Poor Mason; he had PM preschool and would fall asleep once every couple weeks on the way home.
This little goof! I love him so!
Dobby is a free elf!
Larger than the rest because I love this picture of us so much! We used a self timer and only had to take one shot! I was so happy!
Poor Luke got a stomach bug. Funny enough he's more accurate in puking in the toilet than Mason is.
Soccer for Mason!
Both boys love working on jigsaw puzzles. Mason was working on a 100 piece one, and Luke put this one together multiple times!
"Mom! I'm a giant worm!"
Beautiful Rosemont sunset!
(Rosemont is the area in Sac we live in)
Mason woke up at 630 one morning and used our bathroom. I expected him to come in bed with me, but he never did. When I woke up, I found him asleep on the floor!
Free piano on Facebook Messenger! Still needs some work at this point (a tune, a few hammers replaced, and new key faces) but hey! A piano!
The look on Luke's face!!
Happy Mother's Day!
Parker's at the Temple May 2018
Alixel requested that Luke hold her hand <3 p="">

I love these guys! Luke helping carry in library books (I think), and Mason bringing his "briefcase" to share day at preschool!
Post-rain sky!
This. This is why you have more than one kid!
The older one can help the younger one put on his shoes!
One day, they are going to really be thrown when I don't let them eat on the couch anymore...
Soccer Mason!
Luke trying to put on soccer socks and cleats!
Mason slept like this one night...
M: "Mom I drew a giant grouper fish!" Mason is obsessed with Chasing Monsters on Netflix.
(Also, Parker family joke; Sean said his dad pulls a face that they all thought made him look like a grouper fish...)
We went hiking with the Toone's on Memorial Day; I got to do Lizzy's hair!!
We went up to Auburn State Recreation Area (I think). We tried to hike to Calcutta Falls, but it was SUPER hot, and the trail was in the sun. We turned around, and went down to a section of the river for the kids to play. We then had them over that night for a BBQ and swimming!
Mason: "Mom, we're in a trash can!"
Candyland with my guy while little brother and sister sleep!
The boys earned a trip to Wacky Tacky by "winning"... a.k.a. being kind, obedient, and helpful in our house. We put beans in a jar and when they get a certain amount of beans, we do something fun! And when it is full we will do a big something!
We got invited to Alixel's birthday party!
I love time on the river with my family :) The river is one of the best things about Sacramento.
My birthday present from Sean's sister!
Playdate with Cici!
Mason drawing Mickey and Minnie!
Post soccer practice! This was the craziest day ever. One of the little boys in Mason's class fainted and had a mini seizure. I called Sean (who was over at the park a couple hundred yards away with Luke) and had him rush over. He and another lady did CPR on the little boy and got him breathing again. The paramedics arrived shortly after, and they monitored him in the back of the ambulance for a while and then they took him to the hospital. Apparently, they have been running tests but can't figure out what's exactly wrong (we found this out the next week).
My first time swimming with all three kids by myself! It was actually MUCH easier than I anticipated! Mason is tall enough to keep his whole head above water in the shallow end and is teaching himself front stroke. Luke is the master of the kiddy pool, and splashes around in there like crazy. Cori actually liked it this time! If it's hot and sunny enough, she sits with me in the water for a good half an hour!
Mason's last day of preschool! He had the best time this year, and his teacher, Ms. Suzie, was so great with him!! Now onto Kindergarten!
Then we had Sean's family in town, and all those pics are in a different post :)
I'm doing two week "themes" for this summer. Each day will be a simple craft or activity related to the theme. I looked up "Ocean crafts" on pinterest and Mason picked this one. We also went to the library and picked out a bunch of ocean books to read!
Phew! That was our spring! Crazy busy somehow, but so much fun!
