4 Month old shots....Madison was so brave and did a great job getting her shots. She even was willing to give me a smile after!

Madison's Room- Scottie and I are making the office into the nursery since we will be staying for a year. We have been spending our free time getting a crib, refinishing Madison's furniture, and painting her wall!!! I am excited to see how it all comes together and I will be posting pictures of the final product soon.



Madison is a delight to have in our home and is growing right in front of our eyes!!!
Some of her Milestones this month include:
*Sitting and standing with help
*holding head up on her own
*rolling over all the time
*grabbing toys
*blowing spit bubbles (her favorite past time...not mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!) her clothes are dripping with slobber LOL.
*Sleeping 12-13 hours a night and still napping great
*AND still smiling and laughing all the time.
Maddie has sure helped complete our family and brings so much joy into our lives!!!

Meet the newest family member!!!!!!!!!!!!! Newer than Maddie!

We bought a car today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a little in shock that we actually left the dealership with a car TODAY because Scottie and I are both so indecisive and take forever when making big decisions! We both felt good about this silver Honda CR-V so we went for it!

Here we are with our new ride! And below we are pictured with Curt...our wonderful salesman who got us a steal of a deal!

Welcome to the family new CR-V....name to follow. We have to get to know her first... I am kinda liking the silver bullet tho LOL!

Dr. Parker's Graduation



Scott Jay Parker became Dr. Parker, MD on June 7th!!! It was an especially special day for him because it was his birthday as well. Our wonderful parents were here to celebrate with us and we all had a fun time participating in the many activities OSU had planned for their med student graduates. My head is still spinning and I can't believe that it is all said and done and that 4 years has come and gone already. The Ohio State University will always be a special place for us and we will be forever Buckeyes.

Class of 2012- marching into graduation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My camera didn't take great pictures in the dark:( bummer....but at least I have the memories. Here is Scottie being hooded above and then smiling at me as he walked off the stage as Dr. Scott Jay Parker. I will never forget hearing the announcement.... "Dr. Scott J Parker, Cum Laude". It was so exciting to hear that for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I am so proud of Scottie for working so hard and for graduating in the top of his class.

Posing as Dr. Parker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Madison is thinking..." My Daddy is a Doctor!!! He isn't going to give me shots now... Is he???"

Group shot. It was so great to have our parents with us. Thanks Hansens and Parkers for coming out!!! We miss you.

So there you have it. My amazing Scottie Jay is a DOCTOR!!! And here he is with his graduation gift...new golf clubs.
Dr. Parker, I am so proud of you for your hard work and determination for the past 4 years. Not only were you an amazing med student, but you were a great husband (father at the very end) and friend too. I love you and CONGRATS!!!

She really is an angel who radiates purity and I am so thankful to be her mother:) Enjoy all the pictures below taken by my amazing friend Steph!
