Head Coach




This week I was named the head girl's soccer coach for Bismarck High School. This was a huge deal. I was on tv and in the paper. My husband was so thrilled. He called everyone to tell them about my exciting news. If you click on the website above, you can read about it in the local paper. Next year is going to be so much fun. Finally, head coach!!!

Good Bye Patroits


Softball

If any one knows me, I don't do softball. I just stick with soccer mainly. Well, this summer I have decided to play softball for the first time in my life. My first game they put me at second, center field, and short stop. Amazing enough, I wasn't too bad. I even managed to get an "In The Parker Home run!" I also managed to get my first official strawberry. My father would be so proud. I guess it is from all those times of watching my father, mother, brother, and husband play.
Thanks for forcing me watch!

A picture to prove it!

Happy Mother's Day

I really do appreciate everything my mother has done for me over the years. Now, that I am a "mother," I completely understand what it means to love your family unconditionally. This statement is so true and my family has brought this to my attention in so many ways.


Patience: When your running late for work and your son refuses to put his clothes on for the day because he wants to play with his toys.
Gentleness: Your son falls down and scraps his face. Mom to the rescue to help clean his new battle wound.
Kindness: When your son lays his head on your chest to fall asleep.
Supportive: When your husband changes jobs.
All these special characteristics mothers attain over the years. To me mothers should be celebrated every day.

Happy Mother's Day!


Dairy Queen Trip

This week at school was "Teacher Appreciation Week." So, remember to thank your teachers for everything they do for our kids. Our PTO was so kind and gave each teacher gift certificates to the local Dairy Queen. Ryan, Brady, and I made a special date of it as a family.


Just in case you didn't know but, Brady loves ice cream. This date was perfect. He ate his chicken strips and apple sauce. Then, came that special dessert he loves. This kid licks his lips when he even sees ice cream. It is great to see. Well, the date was perfect and he even performed his famous "SO BIG" routine. Gotta love it.


Brady Cruising

FINALLY, Brady has gotten the itch to start walking. It is so neat to witness his development over the last few months. We were lucky enough to catch the little man cruising around behind his stroller.


Now we can't get Brady to stop cruising behind his stroller. I cannot wait till Grandma Geider gets to watch Brady in action this summer. We are looking forward to her visit. I know Brady is very excited to see his Grandma again.
