Swinging Solo

I'm so proud of Parker! We can now add to his list of accomplishments learning to swing by himself. Now he's really ready for kindergarten, cause you know those big kids don't have baby swings on their playground!!

It's a Bird...It's a Plane...!!

Parker still LOVES to swing on his swing in the front yard. The other day, he had the brilliant idea to kick things up a notch by swinging while wearing his Superman costume from last Halloween (which he likes to bust out every now and then anyway...). The result was pretty fantastic--his cape even flew in the wind behind him. No wonder everyone looks over at us and smiles when they walk by :)

A Swing for Each

Thanks to my mom and dad for bringing this swing down from Montana--oh, the things you can fit in the "trunk" of a Cessna! Parker used this swing the first time he visited Montana at six months old for Ian and Krista's wedding, and then Forest used it until he outgrew it. Now Levi gets to have a turn, and he loves it! He has had to watch Parker having all the fun on the swing in the front yard, and now he gets to take part in the fun too! (Although, we really need to figure out how to hang both swings up so that the kids can swing at the same time...someone is always left out as it is!)

Rope Swing

Jared and Parker put their heads together and decided to try making a rope swing out in the front yard. It's attached to a limb on the pepper tree, which hopefully will prove to be nice and strong...! Parker loves the swing, and it's easy and fun to push him on it any time of day or evening.

First Swing

Birthday Swing

I have a bunch of pictures from Parker's birthday party this weekend that I will post later. Here is my favorite shot...it was a wonderful, fun, sunny day at the park!
