Happy Birthday Parker!

Yesterday was Parker's 2nd birthday. I can't believe that my baby is 2 years old!! He loved his knock'em down truck from his Grandma Bake, and his car clothes and bath letters from his Grandma Clayson. He really loved his new bike, and had to fight Tanner to use it. I think they finally found a compromise. He had fun with his presents, and was scared of the candles on his birthday cake. I've been teaching him to stay away from hot, so I guess he's been listening. I don't remember one of my babies being scared of candles before, so that was a first. When it came to eating the cake, he was much cleaner than Tanner. You could tell where Tanner sat because there was a 3 foot circle of crumbs around where he was sitting. Parker licked the frosting off with his fingers, and ate the ice cream with his hands, but didn't make much of a mess at all. Maybe this bodes well for some things? Oh well, Happy Birthday Buddy!! We love you!!!

Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward .....

So, here's how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year (probably within the month otherwise I'll forget! :)), a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Please submit in the comment, your address, if I don't have it already. Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!

What Color Am I????

So my sisters called and said I had to take this test and to post what color I am on my blog. After answering several questions, this came up. So Bobbi and Dev, is this what you thought I'd be?

Your result for The Color Code Test...

Color Code: WHITE: The Peace Keeper

3% Red, 34% Blue, 51% White and 11% Yellow!

WHITE MOTIVE: PEACE

WHITE NEEDS: To feel good (inside), To be allowed their own space, To be respected, Tolerance.

WHITE WANTS: To withhold insecurities, Kindness, Independence, Contentment.

SUMMARY: Whites are motivated by peace. They will do almost anythign to avoid confrontation. They like to flow through life without hassle or discomfort. Feeling good is even more important to them then being good. Whites need kindness. They resent being scolded. They dislike harsh words. They open up instantly to people who are kind, but Whites recoil from those who are hostile. Whites prefer quiet strength. they enjoy thier quiet independence. This can often be percieved as bullheadedness. Whites like to keep a low profile. They like to be asked their opinions but they won't volunteer them. Whites are independent. Unlike Reds and Blues who want to control others, Whites seek only to avoid being controlled. They don't like to be pushed, and they can be fearsome when they finally "blow up." Whites are motivated by other peoples desires. They want suggestions however, not demands.
