Parker James Higgins



Parker James decided to make his grand appearance today! Baby and Mommy are both doing well and recovering from their busy morning. Daddy had specific instructions... Make sure and give the important details! Parker James was born @ 8:15 AM this morning. 9 lbs 10 oz. (big boy) 21" long and very healthy. Mommy did a great job and should be very proud of how strong she is. More details to follow. I have to get back to the hospital!

It's amazing to think that...


...my All-Star was ever this small!

...these are the little hands that boxed with my organs inside my belly!

...all the morning sickness and every labor pain was worth the joy of holding him in my arms for the first time!

...I can look at his baby pictures and still cry!

...any day now he is going to be a big brother!

...he will be my big helper and run to my rescue when his little brother needs his binkie put back in his mouth!

...I am going to love another little boy as much as I love this one!

Happy 2nd Birthday All-Star!

NO! My baby is two today! I can't believe it! I've been so excited for him (and remembering every labor pain for me) but he really has no idea what's going on. He just knows that the word "birthday" has something to do with getting a bike and lots of other toys. He walks around saying, "birthday bike" and "birthday train." He's even telling other people happy birthday! He sat down next to me earlier and said, "Happy birthday mommy!"



Isaac has had quite the birthday week. It started with a party on Saturday at Ammah and Papa's house. There was a bounce house, pony rides, a t-ball game, and lots of cake. Yesterday we went to Oak Glen to play with the goats and eat caramel apples. Last night we went to the tennis courts to take his two year old pictures (it's a tradition from my side of the family). He spent the morning at the park with two little friends and he still has a few more presents to open this evening! Wow, so much for this little guy and will he even remember it!?! Part of me is trying to make it as big and special as I can because his world is going to completely change once Parker gets here (which, by the way, I have no idea when that will be... I still feel great)!



Isaac is a happy and healthy growing boy and for that we are thankful! I may not like this new fake cry trick or that he can be so cute when I am so mad at him, BUT, he was blessed with a caring heart and a love for making people laugh. Our Isaac is so special and unique!



Party with friends and family. Isaac's party was all about sports and he would not put on anything else but this ratty old shark shirt. I was so annoyed because I had the perfect basketball Jersey for him to wear. Yup, definitely two. Making his own decisions!


Can you believe they had a fire truck in the petting zoo?


Our little tennis pro! Isaac's coordination for all sports is amazing! Such a little athlete!

No More Snakes

OH NO!!!! Isaac told us he had snakes on his head so we quickly took him in the garage and tried to cut them off. But then, they fell on his neck, shoulders, and back and bit him! He was mad and squirming for his life so we rushed him upstairs and threw him in the bath tub hoping we could wash them down the drain! Whew! It worked! Daddy saved the day!

Now would you like me to interpret this TRUE story? Isaac's hair has gotten so long that he can see it resting on his forehead. He thought they were snakes and wanted us to cut them off!



Before and after


Enjoying Nemo gummies (aka: a distraction)


Isaac really does like snakes so he thought it was funny that they were on his head!

Posting because...

... I think my kid is just that funny!

Helping mommy with the laundry...

Trying to see what message daddy is sending on his phone...

We are experiencing a small obsession with sunglasses. Eating popcorn or sitting in time out... He's got these babies on!

Just lovin' on the ladies!
