July 2012. Sadly that is the last time I have updated this blog. My excuse is because I had another blog. So if you would like to see what we have been up to for the last little while you can check out that one. http://infertilityandivf.blogspot.com/
Our lives in a nut shell....we had twins. Introducing Stella Grace Parkinson, and Wilson Floyd Parkinson.

Welcome Clive

Justin's brother had a baby just the other day. Clive Parkinson (He had a middle name, I just don't know how to spell it)

Grandpas

 We had a busy month the end of May and June. Both of my amazing Grandpa's passed away. So I thought I would post a few of my favorite pics of them. They will be greatly missed.

The Great Weed of 2012

My grandpa has the most fabulous garden! He had been sick and unable to take care of it which broke my heart. So I decided to rally all of grand kids and go for a a morning and weed. It was a great success! Grandpa even sat in the window and watched us (he fell asleep pretty fast, but it was still nice to see him there.

Unfortunately Grandpa passed away shortly after, but it was nice to have that memory of that day. It was probably one of the last days he was up before he died.

We have be keeping up the garden since then every few weeks. Justin, my cousin Landon, and I go down and weed and trim and do what it needs to keep it looking great.

"We're here for RSL!"

Me and Justin were lucky enough to be asked if we wanted suit tickets to an RSL game. Unfortunately I don't think I can go to another game again, I've been spoiled, and I don't want to go back to sitting in the Coronals Corner.
It was so much fin! I go to sit and stuff my face while I sat in the suite and watched the game. Hopefully, we will get the opportunity again.

Aspiring Author

Ok, Ok, I'm really not an aspiring author. But there is a story behind the story. About six months ago while we were in Delta with Jake and Ann Marie and Magnus, we had a adventure. Magnus has this cute little stuffed steer named Stakey. Magnus cannot sleep without him. So it was nap time and we couldn't find Stakey anywhere! We looked and looked and couldn't find him. So Ann Marie tried to get Magnus to sleep, but he was just bawling in the other room. It was so sad. So finally Ann Marie had  a thought, and she found Stakey in the washer. We think it was left open, and Magnus thought it would be a good idea to put him in there, and then someone closed it.

Ok, I have had this story going through my head for six months, and I decided to try and illustrate it and give it to Magnus for Christmas, cause like most children, he LOVES books. So this is the finished product. We gave it to him Christmas Eve and Justin's family party. It was my talent, and Justin read it. It was super cute.

A Little Before and A Little After Christmas

Christmas Eve is spent with Justin's family. Good food plus good family, always equals a good time. 

We had a great dinner prepared my his Grandma Stella. It was delicious of course. Magnus had a fun time with his new toys. We also got spoiled with a new waffle maker, movie gift card, and an awesome rug. (Penny, if you read this, I need another one, I love it so much.)

We then spent a few days after Christmas down in Delta.We had lots of fun playing with Magnus and the puppies. And Magnus loves spending time with Grandpa!
