Happy Birthday Will!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little Will, my baby that was never supposed to grow up!  I can't believe he is 5!  Why does that sound so much older than 4?  Will's birthday basically consisted of eating sugar all day.  His day started off with cinnamon rolls, then we took doughnuts to his preschool class.  Then he ate left-over cinnamon rolls and doughnuts for lunch.  Then his choice for dinner was sausage and peaches (sprinkled with sugar) followed by brownies and halloween candy.  I didn't think I would ever get him to sleep!

The beginnings of his sugar high

In honor of his 5th birthday here are 5 things about Will:

1)  Will has the best smile in the whole entire world and the most expressive facial expressions.
2)  Will is a crack addict - in otherwords, he shows a little too much backside.  I often joke that if Will got lost I don't know if I would put a picture of his face or his rear end on the poster!
3)  Will is super competitive - just tonight he asked, "mom, do you just love me so much?" and I said, "yes, I just love you so much".  Then his next questions was, "Do you love me more than Layton?"  EVERYTHING is a competition!
4)  Will is very affectionate.  He tells me constantly how much he loves me (and then of course it becomes a competition as to who loves who the most) and gives kisses and hugs until you feel a little claustrophobic.  Whenever we get somewhere a few minutes early to pick up one of the kids Will climbs out of his seatbelt so he can sit in the front seat to cuddle with me.
5)  Will LOVES his dog!  They can often be seem having make-out sessions which is a little disturbing to me (refer back to reason #4)!

Just being around Will makes me happy! His smile is contagious and we all love his hugs and kisses.
He is easy going and I love the way he and Layton play together for hours dressed up in their cloaks or whatever they decide to be for the day. He also likes to compete with me over who loves Bailey the most!
Happy Birthday Will. We love you!

Happy Birthday Wilson! We love you too! My favorite thing about Will is that he is a crack addict! I have so many pictures of his cute little bum! I wonder if he will EVER be embarrassed of all those pics. Or maybe he will end up just like Jeff (mo bro-in-law)-- a little too comfortable showing off his bum to everyone!:)

Oh that was such a sweet blog about Will. Shayla will be 5 in Dec. I just reminded her last night that she was supposed to stop growing because she was my baby and was is supposed to stay that way forever. She told me that she had stopped growing, but I don't think she has. :o(
I am going to cry my eyes out next year when she starts kindgergarten!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
