So much as happened in a year. We extended our family, we welcomed Charlie Anne into the Gordon family November 17th at 11:32 pm. Parker and Louie enjoyed our amazing week of snow fall in January.
January:
We were stuck in our driveway for almost a week. We had a lot of snow. Who knew that our old timer (Louie) would come to life and be a puppy again when the snow hit. However, Parker prefered to run rather than ride in her sled that Ryan bought her. It wasn't something she was going to give a try.
 |
| Having this much snow was so much fun for both Parker and Louie. |
 |
| The Old Man thought he was a pup again. Convincing both of them to come in wasn't an easy task... |
 |
| Getting KiKi to become a toddler again, was easy, just add a niece |
 |
| Warming up after playtime and copying Auntie |
 |
| Not so happy. We woldn't let her go back out. |
March
Parker particpated in her first ever foot race, Shamrock Run. On the drive down to the park it was hilarious, the light bulbs went off inside the lil misses head. She thought we were racing our Jeeps and when Ry told her she had to run she said "No thanks. Jeep please". It was fun to see her run with all her friends. She did great.
 |
| I think she was more excited to get a cookie rather than her first place ribbon. |
 |
| This group will be a fun one to watch grow up, all these kids pictured have teachers for parents!!! |
 |
| Parker and Olive!!! |
April:
Parker Lee turned two. She is so lucky to have so many wonderful people in her world that love her!! She celebrated her second birthday with her great friends; but Carson and Olivia really enjoyed helping her open her gifts. It is so fun to see how interested all of them were to open gifts. Hilarious compared to how little they wanted to open their own gifts at their parties.
 |
| Parker's invitation. I love this idea. I got it off of Pinterest. |
 |
| This is how we announced we were having Charlie...however not many people noticed |
 |
| My favorite Cheese face. |
May:
This last year we went down to Longview and raced jeeps. Parker got to spend an entire day with her TaylorBrooke (which is two seperate girls, but Parker blends their names together.) It cracks me up!
June-August
Summer Summer Summer. Parker took swim lessons all summer long. She started out having to have me in the water with me, but by August she was in all by herself telling me "No go in Mom." She also potty trained this summer and officially became a big girl (according to her). Mom, however, is not ready for her to be such a big girl yet. A lot came along with our summers. Racing was by far Parker's highlight. She is a born racer and enjoys getting muddy and playing hide-seek and tag with all her little racing friends. It is truly a treat to be blessed with so many wonderful people.
 |
| Look at that face. I love it!!!! |
 |
| Parker's favorite person hands down |
 |
| Ry and Uncle Jon convinced Parker to face plant it into the cake. |
 |
| Some might wonder why Ry is holding the awning to our club shack.... |
 |
| Parker dancing at the camp fire while Dad and Uncle Jon were logging |
 |
| We are a true Washingtonian at heart; mud and boots complete any wardrobe. |
 |
| The perfect birthday cake for any man. We even placed a cherry in the HaHa area. |
 |
| Ryan dessert racing this summer. Him and Jon seemed to enjoy it. Something different |
October
Once again we got to enjoy the great planning and organizing of the Zetner Halloween Party. We had so much fun, as we always do. Parker went as Minnie Mouse and Zach was her Mickey. I don't have a picture to share since she refused to sit still long enough. Auntie Mel and her great-grandbabies went this year. Parker was extremely excited to play with girl Karsyn.
 |
| Don't these two look a like!!! I love the crazy, goofyness these two bring out in each other. |
 |
| These two are so identical it is hilarious. |
 |
This is the way to hit a pinata....no matter how many times we told her to hold it the other way, she was doing it "her" way.
|
November
A very eventful and exciting month for all. Charlie came two days early. Ryan was hunting and no one could get a hold of him. Jon got stuck watching Parker and sadly, had to work really early the next morning.

December
Parker has gotten to play in the snow already (first snow fall of the winter). She got to go to Laurel's Mom's and do the gingerbread party again. Christmas was so much fun this year. Parker really understood and enjoyed the giving of items/gifts to people and loved opening her gifts from family and friends.
 |
| Cow for Parker from Charlie. She loved it so much, it was too cute to watch her squeeze it to death. |
 |
| First snow play day. We started asking at 5:30 am to go outside. |
 |
| Making cookies for Dr. Polley and Dr. Mvendura. |
 |
Sister love. This is her saying Thank You for her cow.
