TJ and Zack's Birthday

This year Zack wanted to go to Taco Bell for his birthday. We went after his basketball game. He also took his friend Mason to Frankie's Fun Park and then they had a sleep over! TJ wanted to go to Flying Saucer so for his birthday we had dinner there!

Christmas 2014

Christmas this year was a little different than last year! Olivia was into everything and was able to enjoy her presents. Zack and Lily were with us the week before Christmas so we went to see lights and made gingerbread houses. I loved being able to read the Christmas story with them on Christmas Eve and it is so great to see their faces Christmas morning. Izzie also came back this year and was up to her usual tricks. She even followed us to Pilot Mountain for the weekend.

 

 

We also made a little announcement... We will have another baby Parrish in July!!

OAP is 1 year old!!

It is amazing how quickly a year goes by! I can't believe that she is 1 year old. She is walking everywhere and eating pretty much everything! She loves milk, bananas, yogurt, and chicken. Her new favorite word is "yummy." She has 6 teeth, 3 on top and 3 on bottom. She has 1 more coming in on the bottom which will make 7. She loves her brother and sister and she loves to dance. She is as strong willed as ever and the older she gets the more she wants to be independent. She still is a terrible sleeper, but hopefully that will get better! She has the best personality and can easily make you smile by putting her face in front of yours and saying "hi!" She gets peoples attention wherever we go because if they aren't looking at her she will yell "hi!" to them. 

A few updates that I missed...

Here are a couple of neat things Zack and Lily did this fall.

Lily participated in a cheerleading camp with Corinth Holders High School. She went in the morning one Saturday and then was able to cheer at a football game one Friday night!

 

Zack won his class spelling bee and was able to participate in the school wide spelling bee! He did such a great job!

OAP is 11 months old!!

Olivia Ann is 11 months old! I can't believe we are 1 month away from her first birthday. She is talking and babbling constantly. The cutest thing she does right now is she will shake her finger at you and say "no, no." I probably shouldn't laugh at that but it is pretty cute. She is walking EVERYWHERE! She started walking at about 10 1/2 months and now that is all she wants to do. She loves pushing her baby stroller and lights up when she sees Zack and Lily. She has also started staying with her Nanna and Papa on Fridays. She loves playing the piano with Nanna. She went through a baby food strike and didn't want to eat anything from a spoon so we have started a lot of foods that she can pick up herself. Did I mention she will be 1 next month??

Halloween 2014

Trunk or Treat x 2!!

 This year we attended 2 Trunk or Treat events. We went to Trunk or Treat at our church and also at River Dell Elementary. At church we had our own trunk where we did cookie decorating. It was a busy 2 nights but both nights were a lot of fun. Zack was The Flash, Lily was Apple White (from Ever After High) and Olivia Ann was a cupcake!

OAP's First Halloween!

Hill Ridge Farms 2014

We had so much fun at Hill Ridge Farms last year that we decided to go back! TJ and I love taking the kids to this pumpkin patch. They enjoy all of the activities and so do we! My favorite is the barn filled with corn. TJ loves the hay ride to pick out a pumpkin, and Zack and Lily love the bouncing pillow. It is always a great time and gets you in the mood for everything Fall!
