It's hard to believe that my little boy is 9 years old today. Each day with Parker has been such a joy. He's the kindest, most thoughtful and lovable person that I know. He has a natural knack for making friends and is loved by everyone he comes in contact with. His teachers at school and church are often quoted as saying, "If all of my students were more like Parker, my job would be heaven. He is one of a kind!" I often times find him serving his sisters by sharing his treats or sacrificing a special something so that they feel happy and included in his life. We are blessed to have him in our family.
While Parker often times seems like the perfect child, he is still a normal boy. His most favorite thing to play is video games. He even wants to be a video game developer when he grows up and is striving to get straight "A's" in school so can go to a good video game school. So far, so good! He forces himself to be a perfectionist, but in the end he is happy with just doing his best.
This year his party had a Kung-Fu Panda theme. Parker wanted to go see the movie and invited just a handful of good friends and family. Some of his guests drove south from Utah to enjoy his special day and even more friends joined us after the movie.
After the movie, Parker wanted to have a pool party and unwrap his presents. We just love having our own pool!
Parker choose to have hot dogs, Cheetos and watermelon for lunch. Everyone loved them and almost everyone had seconds. Great party planning, Parker! Happy Birthday!
