Parker Palooza II

It seems like anytime Parkers get together, it's always crazy, loud, and fun, and this time was no exception! We had grandparents from Florida, family from New England, plus all the usual suspects. What was the special occasion? Grandpa Parker's 80th Birthday!! We were so thankful to be able to host our East Coast family for a few days -- they made it to Easter service at our church, and also got to do a little Seattle sightseeing. Then it was off to Yakima to continue the celebration with Kristin, Bryan, and the great-grandkids! We squeezed quite a bit of fun into 2 days in Yakima, not to mention squeezing quite a bunch of people into one house (18 to be exact!). We are so thankful for Grandpa Parker; he is a man of generosity, love, and service (I already miss his help in the kitchen!). It was a great blessing to get to celebrate his 80th year with him and see how many lives he has impacted. Happy Birthday Grandpa!

One of the many birthday cakes...Grandpa

When in Seattle...

It really is a nice view from up there!

Another one of Grandpa's birthday cakes...we
made sure everyone knew he was turning 80!!

Grandpa, Grammy, and their boys.

This was the grand finale of the cakes...by this
time he was an expert. :)

Micah's first time pitching-- he did a great job!

Those socks are just too cute to not show off again ;)

Because you can never have too much baseball in the Parker house,
another game started up as soon as we got home from Micah's game!

The Parker ladies-- Aunt Judy, Grammy, and Mom Parker.

I know it's probably evident, but isn't he adorable?!
Only 4, and he's already got perfect form!
