Hello, friends. This is my first time using a blog, so it may take me some time to get things going. Not only that, but you know how busy I am with the kids. Thought I would give it a try though, since "everyone is doing it"! A brief update about what's going on in the Parker world. As many of you know already, I had a Girls Night Out for my birthday. Just want to say a quick Thank you to all those girls who made that night special. I had a blast!!!

As for the major part of my world, my family, we have been super busy. Taylor has started softball season and is excited about the possibility of getting to be a pitcher. She has been so busy in Lads to Leaders and is preparing for the convention. Jake is getting ready to start baseball and wants to be the "behind catcher". That's what he calls it anyway... lol! They both barely finished basketball season and are already in another sport. We were going to try to get Cailey and Dakota in T-ball this year, but finances are tough and Dakota would rather be a ballerina.

As for Dusty, he has been really busy lately with different little projects. He has really been generous lately with his time to provide the best for his family. I hope he reads this and knows how proud I am of him. He and Todd have really become friends and I think he needs some time to go hang out with the guys, so Todd, if you read this, you need to find a time to steal Dusty away for some golf or something. My permission has been granted!!
