Parker and His Car

Parker has a car that he loves!! He never ever forgets about it. If we can't find it the world stops. Everyone stops what they are doing and we go on a car hunt. While he follows us around asking for his car. A little while ago we could not find his car anywhere. I had looked and looked and it was not to be found. I thought about it and realized that there was Someone who knew where it was. I knelt down with my son and we said a simple prayer. After the prayer was over I looked behind me and realized that one of the girls toy bins had been in their room the day before and now it was back downstairs in the playroom. I looked in that bin and there it was right on top. We were so happy that we found it. I wiped away tears (from both of us) and we said a prayer of thankfulness to our Father in Heaven. I am so grateful for a Father who cares about little boys and their toys. What a confirmation that He cares about the things that we care about.

Dear Brett,

Happy Birthday to my brother!!! It was so great to go out to dinner with you on Thursday. You are a great brother and a wonderful uncle. You know that Bailey loves her Uncle Brett so much and it's not just the candy that you give her either! I know that life has not been easy for you. You had some rough times growing up but you have turned into a wonderful man. You have a great family and a wonderful wife. I know that you will make much of your life. Keep working hard and remember how terrific you are. I love you my brother!

Love

Cindy

Dear Jessica,

Sorry for the late birthday post! You are such a great sister. I am lucky to have a wonderful sister and an incredible best friend in one super cute package. I was so excited for your birthday present. Going to the Good Things Utah viewing audience was something that I had planned for a long time knowing that you loved watching the show. I am just sorry that you had kidney stones at the time. How awful for you. I felt so bad for you. I hope that we can go again and you will enjoy it so much more. (along with everyone waiting outside!!:) We should probably invite all the girls in the family so that we don't get bugged about it. Happy Birthday to a fantastistic person.

Love you!!

Cindy

Dear Bailey,

Happy Birthday sweetie! I can't believe that you are four! Time has flown by you are getting so big. We are so lucky to have you in our family. Everyone loves you. You are such a sweetie with such a sweet tooth. We all know that the way to your heart is with CANDY!! If anyone ever wants to get on your good side all they have to do is offer candy. Uncle Brett always has a treat for you. Grandma Gadd always has candy for you at church. Life has always been an adventure with you. From drinking toilet water (ewww!!)to eating gross things off the floor (ewww!!)(we always said that you must have an iron stomach and a great immune system) to making huge messes with books, lipstick, fingernail polish, makeup, toilet paper and every and anything that you could think of. We have certainly not been bored with you around. We always say that you are a blend of your mischievious brother Corbin and your diva sister Ashtyn. Yes it can be scary sometimes. Thanks for all that you do to keep us entertained. We love you so much.

Love you forever and ever,

Mom
