PGA Rookie

Jeremy brought out the golf clubs this afternoon so he could practice his swing before the round of golf that will take place on Saturday with the groomsmen in the Stringfellow/Walters wedding. John Parker is quite the competitor himself!!

** When I looked out the front door and spotted this sweet father/son bonding moment, I couldn't resist taking a picture!!! **

Hot Diggity Dog Day!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, John Parker!!!!

This was the best we could get since JP wasn't in the mood to slow down and have a family photo--minus Sawyer since he was taking his nap.

Lori, I HAD to include this picture even if he wasn't a
happy camper at the moment--cute pouty face, I must add. :)

If you know my child, this is quite typical of his behavior.
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL BOOOOOOYYYYYYY!!!!!

I did manage to get of pic of Ash even though she wasn't fond
of Mikey either. Precious little girl, indeed.

JP: (amazement) "Is this really happening, or am I dreaming?

JP: (confident) "Oh, it IS real and we're hanging out like best
buddies!!!"

JP: "Mickey, can YOU do this?"

Mickey Mouse: "Why sure ole' buddy, ole pal!! Look no hands!!"

Very rare to see this kiddo taking a break.

As you can tell from the pictures, we had a BLAST at John Parker's Mickey Mouse party. Our family and friends joined us at our home on Saturday, March 21st to help us celebrate our little guy's 3rd birthday. The invitation read:

Hot dog, Hot dog,

I'm John Parker Hardy,

Hot Diggity dog!

I'm ready to party!

On March 21st

From 11:30 til we're done

We'll meet at my house

And have tons of fun!

On a blow-up slide,

With a jumper no less,

For my 3rd birthday party

We'll make a big mess.

We'll eat lots of hotdogs

And play like friends do,

And before it's all over

We'll eat birthday cake, too!

So come help me celebrate

My third year on earth!

(My folks can't believe it's been

Three years since my birth!)

John Parker had sooo much fun on Saturday that he went down for a nap at 1:50 and didn't wake up until 5:30!!! He was exhausted, as well as his parents. :) I would post more, but I'm sleepy and need to get some 'shut-eye' before the 5:30 alarm begins blaring in my ear. Hope all of you have a good week!

Not 1, Nor 2, BUT...........

3 YEARS ago today, God blessed us with this wonderful little boy, John Parker. Happy Birthday, my little-man. WE LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH! (There are more pictures to follow tonight when I have time to upload all of the images I've selected!!!) Have a BLESSED Day!!!

Sweet Boys!!!!
