Kiker is with Jesus now

Sweet Kiker went to be with Jesus Sunday morning. Please continue to pray for his family...Paco, Candace, Isabella, Jacob, and Maggie. I want to also thank you all for your past prayers. They were greatly appreciated.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Mathew 11:28-30

Fly with the angels sweet boy. We love you.

HOWDY!!!

Izzy's ~ Childrens Boutique

So..I have decided to go with my dream of crafting!! I talked to Shanna and she is more than on board! We are gonna make this a joint biz that way we can do more! Our biz name will be Izzy's..Like it? We are already making buisness cards and are pumping out dresses, bows, tutu's, paci holders, and tons more...Just stay tuned for some pics!!

To sell or not to sell....

That is the question I am currently pondering!! And no I am not talking about my house!! (I wish) I am talking about the crafts I have made or am learning to make. Mostly baby stuff...like burp cloths, girls dresses, bows, bow holders, bibs.....that kinda stuff. I LOVE doin it and I am not too bad at it! Soo....I dont know if I should start selling them. I am gonna make some and post the pictures so that I can get some feedback from you guys. Well now you all know what I have been up to :) I also started jazzercise...and I really like it!! It is sooo much fun! Alright I am goin to bed! Night night everyone!!

It has been one busy summer!

I know, I know...Yall are all wondering where in the world I have been! Well it has been a crazy summer or should I say year! To be completely honest, I have not really been in the mood to blog! There was just so much on my heart and mind that I didn't really feel comfortable sharing with the world :) I do appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers though. One person in particular has been an amazing shoulder to cry one. Shanna, your an amazing friend and you have been right there for me through it all! Thank you so much! I love you girl!

I am now starting to accept the hand that I was dealt and am embracing all the blessings that come with it. Once I stop thinking about how I am being affected and stop playing the poor me card, then I am able to step back and breathe...knowing that God has a plan and a purpose for me as well as my family and that this is part of it. I love love love my husband and know that I love him more now than I did 7mo ago. The Lord is good and I trust him with my life....I sometimes have to say that out loud to keep from letting any negative thinkin sneak in :)

So now that I got that off my chest and some of you know now what my struggles have been....now on to more fun stuff!!

So I have been doin more than just sittin on the couch wallowing in my own self pity hehe.....Logan and I just celebrated our 3yr anniversary and it was wonderful! We went and ate at the Melting Pot ( Blair recommended it..thanks!) and it was soooo good!!! Then we went to the Rockin R and watched Wes from the bachelorette play and he was really good! Although he was made out to be a bad guy, I think he is just a good ol' Texas boy that was represented wrong...just my opinion :)

Alright well I will leave you with some pics of Gracie riding JB for the first time :)

Love you guys and I am back on the bloggin wagon :P

I NEED HELP!

Ok fellow bloggers....I need your fashion advice!!

I have a wedding coming up that I am super excited about. It is a good friend of Logan's and we thought he would NEVER get married...although we were praying he would :) He has now found an amazing women and are getting married the 6th of September! So....I have to find the perfect dress/shoes!

That is where you guys come in!! I would appreciate any advise...whether its a fav store or somewhere you have recently been and saw some cute things....or you can always actually pick it out and show me pics :)

Just leave me a comment with the link or name of store!

I think that with my searching and yalls....Ill find the perfect outfit!

Thanks!!!

~Oh and nothing over $250 please :)

4th of July 09'

This year the family all went up to Proctor, TX where my Nana (dad's mom) lives. She has a house right on the lake and it is just beautiful! Everyone on my dad's side was there...well almost everyone...only missing like 10 which is nothing...big family :) We hung out on the lake all day Sat. Gracie girl rode the wave runner with Aunt Brynea. She also helped Paps (my dad) drive the boat! Coopman enjoyed playing in the sand as well as eating some of it! :) That night we watched the firework show put on by my dad and uncles. It was amazing...about a 500 dollar show! They go all out! That's how the Parker's are...now you know where I get it :) hehe! Happy 4th of July everyone! Praise God for our Country and freedom!!

Soo here are the pics...

4th of July Parade

Today Coopman had his first 4h of July parade!!

Coop was not at school on Tuesday, so I had no idea that there was going to be a parade! When I took him to school this morning he was dressed in an orange shirt and plaid shorts and everyone else in his class, as well as the whole school, had on red, white, and blue. I just could not let my sweet lil guy not be apart of the festivities!! I am all about themes!! So, I went back home and got Coop a red, white, and blue outfit :) All his teachers thought I was crazy....they just don't know me :) HA!

So here are a few pics of my handsome Coopman enjoying the parade while eating....a red, white, and blue bomb pop....CLASSIC!

Went on vacation and came back whiter...

I know that many of you all have been asking me about my trip to Cancun...so sit back, grab a coke zero, and enjoy as I tell ya all about our amazing time!!

Let me begin by saying this....I absolutely hate flying! I mean I am TERRIFIED of it, palms sweat, pray the whole time, tear my hubby's arm apart, constantly ask what that was, type of terrified! I had forgotten just how afraid of it I am since it has been 3 years since i have flown. But as soon as that plane took off, it all came back!!

That being said...everything else was absolutely amazing!!!

The resort was breath taking. It was adults only and catered to couples. The ultimate romance resort!! Our room was gorgeous..it was covered with marble and had a really cool whirlpool tub (which Logan poured a whole bottle of bubbles in.....bubbles were everywhere!) It also had a two person shower with water shooting out everywhere!

The resort had 7 restaurants...all were amazing! Did I mention that the resort was all inclusive...yea I gained 5lbs on this trip! :) Logan and I just lounged the whole time! It was perfect! It only rained one day and while it was raining we just sat in a hot tub in the rain...sounds crazy but it was awesome! Logan and I have decided that we are definitely making his a yearly trip. I would recommend this place to any couple!!

I will post a few pics but if you want to see them all...well almost all of them :) than check em out on fb!

It feels good to be home and see Coopman, I was missing him pretty bad toward the end! But I do miss the sound of the waves crashing on the beach!!

I am sure yall are wondering about my title.....well let me explain!

(Shanna is probably laughing right now)

I had gotten the versa spa (spray tan) done before I went, actually three times due to malfunctions and weird peeling. It was weird/awesome being that dark but by the end of the trip it had all washed off. Soo...I seriously came back from vacation lighter/whiter than when I left HA!
