Papa and Grandma Came to Visit...

....and it was AWESOME! They brought Parker a T-Ball set! So Parker took a swing (sorry could not resist it) at it...then got a lil advice from Papa about his swing...
Grandma and Parker watched the trains....

We spent the day in DC and had a blast...after we quenched our thirst...

We took pictures with our birth state at the World War II Memorial...can you say GEEKS?!

Parker was born in Virginia not Daddy...

Oh,..well we will be moving to Hawaii in a few short weeks so we decided to take a family photo of this one!!!

Ahhh Daddy's state...

We dyed Easter Eggs!

Papa tried to help us with stickers...but they weren't actually stickers...won't tell you how long it took us to figure that out!!!

We found Easter Eggs!!

After we found eggs, Parker put the money he found in his eggs in his piggy bank...

Finally, we went for a scooter ride....thanks for a great visit Grandma and Papa!! We love you and can't wait to see you next month when we take on Disneyland!!!

Henry!!

As promised here are a few more pictures of our adorable new nephew Henry! Again he and his family are doing awesome...man this kiddo is cute...

Lucky little boy!

We went to Busch Gardens for opening day!! We had a blast! We got to hang with the Levins and the Estes!! It was awesome because we all got to be together one last time before Domenica and Russ left for Spain (today) and before we leave for Hawaii (June)!

Parker and Aunt Johnna check out the owl...Parker got to pet the puppy...

He rode the Clydesdale's...

He had a cheering section...

He loves Domenica and Russ...

We took in a 4D show...

Domenica and I stomped grapes...

Posed for a pic....

Had to go see Elmo...

Parker even rode the drop zone Elmo ride and he loved it....Johnna looks a little scared!!

It went high up!!

We all rode one last ride together...they look like a cute family!!

BUT so do we!!!!

We will miss all of them so much and wish Domenica and Russ the best in Spain!!!

Grammy and Papa come to visit!

We love when Grammy and Papa come to visit! It is always so much fun! Especially this visit, because it was Jeremy's birthday! Here are a few pictures from the Harley party we had for him! For those of you who don't know, Jeremy bought a Harley Sportster so that is why his birthday was a Harley theme! Parker had to try on his daddy's new helmet of course...

While they were here, we not only had a party but we had plenty of time to play, play, play!!

Grammy even went through the tunnel!!

It was so pretty while they were here we even played a little tee ball...Aiden got to play too!

Henry David Stinson

YAY! We have a new addition to the family! Our new nephew Henry David Stinson. He was born March 16th at 3:31pm. He weighed in at 8 pounds and .158 ounces and is 22 inches long. Darian and Henry are both doing well. He came via C-section, and Debbie (Grandma) and Raughn (Papa) both say that Darian is up and moving around just fine! Here are just a few pictures...I have been promised more by this evening! Enjoy and congrats to the new family!!

Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height!!

What a beautiful weekend here in the DC area! 60 degrees and a little windy, so what better to do than purchase a kite and fly it with your toddler! Well, it all sounded good in theory until...

Daddy had one heck of a time just getting the kite out of its package!Parker was very patient and there giving total support...
The plan: Daddy would get the kite into the air and then...

He will hand the kite off to Parker ....

Who, in theory, will only have to hold the kite string and watch the kite soar in the air...

Until the wind stopped and Mommy and Daddy yelled, "Run Parker, run to keep it in the air!!"

Parker ran...But the kite came down!!!

Of course we had to end on a good note...so Daddy raised the kite one more time into the windless air...and Parker had a blast!

A weekend back in Chesapeake!

So a couple of weeks ago, Daddy was out of town for a week on business and Parker and I thought it would be a great time to go and spend a few days back home in Chesapeake...and man did we have a GREAT time!!

We fed Grandma Joan... Got to play with Ms. Amy, Logan, and Dylan....

Grandma Joan and Mr. Dave made a complete Parker friendly dinner and he ate it all (which never happens at home)...

Watched funny movies with Auntie Becca...

Went to the zoo....

Watched the animals....

Acted like animals (more specifically, Prairie Dogs)...

And had an amazing time just being with family!
