so far, this is the oldest i've ever been.

our friends lee and josh (holla!) got a tshirt for joel for his birthday that says so far, this is the oldest i've ever been. we had a good laugh. here in the parker house we are getting older.

here are a couple of ellen's three month birthday pics. she is a cutie. she loves to smile at everyone and she loves to pull her dresses up to her mouth and chew on them. (if this keeps up, michelle, i will need bloomers in every size) today when i was riding the elliptical machine, i promise she was moving her legs up and down like mine. i am sure she was facinated with such an anomily- mommy exercising?!? can't compute! ps. i only rode it for five minutes then my legs went to jello.

my birthday was last week and it was fun! some sweet friends took me out to dinner the day before and joel and the kids took me out the night of my birthday. i lost track of how many times i said "you need to listen to me because it is my birthday". hey, you can't blame me for trying. getting older isn't so bad, i guess. i realize that it is all downhill to 40 from here on out.

joel's birthday was yesterday, but we celebrated it on saturday because of church. davis called it "daddy's fake birthday". we took him out for breakfast, went to throw rocks in the river, had a picnic lunch and ate a yummy dinner followed by ashley's chocloate chocolate chip pound cake (i know you didn't invent it- but i always give you credit, ash) on pirate plates picked out by davis. i really enjoyed his day, and so did he.

here is one picture of our little olympian. he won the gold for always trying to get the last word or was it 'has way too much energy at 9 PM' or wait i think he holds the record in asking to play the wii one thousand million times a day. maybe it is for being the funnest four year old i know.

so two posts in one day. get on the ball all you blogging slackers. :)
