5 Generations

This is the five generations of family all together for a photo shoot. We start with Parker's Great-Great Grandma Croft who is 102 years strong! She still is healthy and lives in her own house with her son Claire as a roommate, Grandma Croft has always, and still does have the best garden mmm! Next we have Great Grandma Best, then Grandma Teresa, mommy Kara, and Parker at 4 months old to round it all off. We have been very lucky to have not just four but five generations alive at the same time!

More Fun Pictures of Parker

He started sitting up alot this past month. He loves his Bumbo chair now! With mom and dads help he can go from his back to sitting up. He loves this new game we play with him that helps him sit up when he is laying on his back Kaycee and Parker on Halloween Night! What cute cousins!

Mom and Parker just sitting in the chair after Parker had some lunch is down for a midday nap!!

We love Parkers ears :) He loves to sit up on our legs while we are watching tv. He stares at our facial expressions and makes faces back...It is really funny!

Happy Halloween

Parker enjoyed his first Halloween in 2009. He was a Scottish golfer for his costume this year along with this fun skeleton onesie I found!

First Pic: Parker got his first stitches! He got 8 stitches. A glass bowl fell off a shelf and shattered on his head :( what a trooper! He was so brave.

Second Pic: Parker wasn't so happy with our first attempt at gardening this year:)We ended up with one little tiny measly beet-oh but it was delicious! I like to think the deer got to the rest of our garden.

Third Pic: Parker in his Puma cap before a walk in September. What a good boy we have!!!!

Mommy's Little Hero

I love this little stare he does when he is focused on something ;) He loves looking at ceiling fans and seeing himself in the mirror

Who could bear to leave this precious boy!

These are just some pictures I love of my sweet guy!

So I had to go back to work on Tuesday. That was a tough day. I mean who could possible bear to leave such a cute guy? I feel for all you other mommy's that had to go to work and leave your baby with a sitter. Luckily I only have to go back 3 days a week. Grandma tends one day and Parker goes to a babysitter the other two days. Good luck to anyone who has to do this too!

So many things to do in September!

We have had all kinds of fun things going on this month. It has been so fun to see Parker as he grows and reacts to the different things and environments he is in. Parker went to his first birthday party on Tuesday for Austin the 4 year old that lives upstairs. They had a bounce-house at the park. Parker went on the slide once and that was about all the fun he could handle. About 30 minutes into the party you can see what Parker thought of the whole thing!

Every year my family has a campout breakfast for supper in the canyon with our coleman stoves. It is great. This was Parker's first time going up into the mountains...I think he loves it as much as his mommy! Hooray!

Two cousins having a little heart to heart. Kaycee is just 6 weeks older than Parker.

Labor Day Luau at Thanksgiving Point waiting for the entertainment to start!



Just laying out at the Daybreak Beach with Parker's pal Kole Clark.

Blessing day

Parker was blessed on September 6th, 2009 by his daddy Tim. It was a great blessing, Tim did a wonderful job.

We thought it would be cool for Parker to wear Tim's blessing outfit that was kept in such good condition, but strangely enough a 10 pound baby Tim doesn't fit in the same clothes as 6 pound baby Parker. We even took the outfit in, but it was just too huge. As you can see Parker didin't think much of wearing daddy's big clothes!

We had lots of family come to support us and Parker on this day. This picture is of the moms; Teresa Fugate, me, Parker, and Carla Olsen

This is some of the Priesthood men that stood in the circle; Grandpa Ralph (Fugate) Barry Olsen, Tim Olsen, Parker, Richard Fugate, Grandpa Best.

It turned out to be a great day!

cant upload!

So the last several times I have tried to post something, blogger wont let me upload any pictures. Has anybody else come accross this annoying feature? It been doing that for a few weeks.

First temple outing

Tim, Parker and I had an outing to Temple Square on Sunday. The weather felt nice with an overcast sky and a warm breeze making it great to be outside walking around. Rain started coming down about an hour into our outing. Parker had his first trip to the temple as well as being in his first official rain storm. He thought it was great long enough to take a picture and then he had had enough!

swimming, marshmallows, and fire oh my!

Brooklyn meet Parker, Parker meet Brooklyn...Saturday night we went to our friends house for Carne Asada and a game of scum-very fun night by the way...one year old Brooklyn and 6 week old Parker are pretty much going to get married some day, I mean look at them eyeing each other!

Mariah had all the girls and our husbands/boyfriends and kids over for a pool party and BBQ, so of course we had to take our usual group picture. My eyes look funny but all the other girls look good so I had to post this one. Maybe this will be the first annual of many?!? Either way, it was fun and always great to see the gals.

Look at my little baby all grown up and going swimming! Parker is a little guy and being a little guy he only fits in Carter's brand newborn clothes (I guess they run small) so that seriously limits his wardrobe. He had a very cute tiny swimsuit but of course it was humongous so since he had to dress the part for the pool party I took out my sewing machine and took in 1 1/2 inches from the sides! I might by biased but I think Parker is one cute boy.

Happy Birthday

I am not sure if I have ever taken a birthday picture with the cake and candles-you know the traditional shot, so August 13 I decided it was time. Tim celebrated his 28th birthday with one candle and some yummy razzleberry pie. We went to Litza's Pizza for dinner with some of our friends, one of Tim's favorite restaurants. This was our first time taking Parker to a restaurant and luckily he didn't bring ALL the attention to our table. He did get hungry just as our food came so unless one of us had 3 hands we couldn't eat. Thank you to Chelsea for taking over the feeding position so both Tim and I could eat to our hearts content!

Wow! Raise your hand if you are tired

Being a mom is so great, but geez nobody told me i'd be so tired! kidding. So our little Parker loves to sleep, but only when he is being held. The second we lay him down he wakes right up, it makes for some good snuggles, but snuggling at night is not my choice time! So I have gone through the possible reasons and I have decided that maybe its because his bed drowns his little 6 lb body...

All lack of sleep aside, he sure is a cute fella.

My two loves being handsome together!

More Pics of our favorite little guy Parker

Nice and clean after his first official bath at home on Friday...what a handsome guy!

What a beautiful wife and baby boy I have! They are such wonderful blessings and I am thankful to now have both of them. Kara was so good through the whole pregnancy and will be a FANTASTIC mom for sure :)

First bath and what a good one it was! He just was fun to watch while the nurse bathed him. He seemed to really enjoy it alot

5 pounds 14 ounces and ready to take on the world!

HE IS HERE!!!

Big Blessings Come in Small Packages :) This was Parker 1/2 an hour after he was born. What a cute little guy he is!!!

Here is Parker less than 5 minutes old! Wow what a journey that was.....The greatest single event Tim and I have ever experienced along with our wedding day!

This is one of Tim's favorite pictures :) He could barely take this picture because he was so happy!! Parker is less than 1 minute old in this picture. They had to cut his cord to bring him up to me because it was so short. What a moment that was.......one we will never forget for sure!!!!

Parker Timothy Olsen joined our family Wednesday July 08 at 12:56 P.M. He was born at Alta View Hospital weighing 5 pounds 14 ounces, 18 inches long. He is a small little guy. It is amazing how much you can love someone in just a second, and every time you look at them again, you fall more in love with them. Tim and I are so happy to have Parker in our lives. I don't know how to do slideshows or anything fancy so i will just post pictures as they come (possibly, if you know my blogging history ;)
