Christmas with the Parrish family!

Lukas says the heck with Ben 10...I got my learning table and it is so much fun! It even has Spanish! Who needs Ben 10...I can stand and play on my table!

Toby finally gets his Ben 10 Watch....

Christmas with the Parrish's! Yes, it is a watch...no, it doesn't actually tell time! Toby was all upset when Grandma told him he had to take it off to take a bath. Then he said he would sleep with it on and that didn't fly either! Don't ask me what Ben 10 is....all I can tell you is there is a cartoon about it. Grandma saves the day and Toby is happy as can be! Check out that smile!

Lukas....look at all those gifts!

Are all those gifts for Trey? NO! They are all for Lukas! Man, I want to be a kid again! They get all the good and cool stuff! Check out that bib! "Are these people really my RELATIVES?" Wow, isn't that the truth...we got some crazies! LOL! Kidding...we had a blast at Steve and Cher's. Lukas got all kinds of goodies!

Toby gets Hulk hands from Aunt Cher and Uncle Steve!

I'm not sure who had more fun....Toby's aunts and uncles or Toby with his toys? Toby had a big time with all the cool stuff he got.

Toby opens gifts from Santa

Toby was so excited. He was quick to open all his gifts from Santa! There were some questions of him being "naughty" this year but he swears he was a good boy! He was so excited...then he said, "if Santa doesn't bring me a Ben 10 watch I'm going to be mad!" Oh to be 6 years old again!

Lukas opens gifts from Santa

Lukas got lots of TOYS from Santa! Hum, someone was a good boy this year (well, at least the last 8 months!)

Christmas Morning at the Scranton's!

Here are the boys all in their PJ's getting ready to open their goodies from Santa! Toby is loving on his little brother as you can see! Boy did they get lots of stuff from Santa!

Checking Santa out...

The boys really loved Santa! They just kept looking at him and Toby talked him to death! Imagine that? Merry Christmas to all!!!!

The boys with Santa...big hit!

As you can see they were all smiles with Santa! Toby told Santa what he wanted and did a song and dance for him! Lukas smiled and just couldn't take his eyes off Santa and shocking as it was....never cried in FEAR! :) I'm glad they had a good time! Hope Santa brings everyone what they want for Christmas!

Lukas gets a black eye

Well, the standing up stuff is easy as long as I don't misjudge the distance between me and the item I am trying to use to stand. Or should I say...the other guy looks much worse than me? All in all I didn't cry to long...mom picked me up...wiped away the blood and gave me kisses to make it all better! So, I think the bruise and future scar looks very manly and the "chicks" will dig it! :)
I'm still a happy boy and haven't missed a beat! Love to all! Lukas

Christmas with Nana

Here Toby is enjoying another Christmas with Nana. Talk about spoiling both boys! She really got them lots of cool stuff! Thanks Nana! Toby really misses her!

Christmas with Nana (Barbara Naw)

Toby's Nana, Barbara Naw, came over last night to have her Christmas with the boys! They made out good...let me tell you, Nana spoils them rotten! Toby is helping Lukas open his "lawn mower" gift from Nana. They both enjoyed the goodies and fun with Nana. Toby sure misses her and Shadow.

Clean Boys!

Check out these to happy "clean" boys! Aren't we having a good time in the tub? All smiles on this pose! Can you believe that this Saturday Lukas will be 8 months old? He is already all over the place crawling and pulling up to things to stand. Won't be much longer and we'll be chasing him around! Goodness they grow FAST! Hope everyone is having a great Holiday Season!

Big Ohio Buck

As much as I hate to admit it, I missed him

plain and simple....but I got the doe that was

with him!! He lives to see another day.......but

there is always next year!!

-Trey (AKA-The Great White Hunter)

KrAzY KiDs!

During the summer I got a pictures of these 4 at Grandma's. Here they are again up to no good! Sydni (7 yrs old) holding Hayden (7 months old) and Toby (6 yrs old) holding Lukas (7 months old). They had a big time playing with their little brother! We just wish the Howard Crew could come visit more often!

Hayden Howard and Lukas Parrish

Can you believe Hayden (4/23/08) and Lukas (4/13/08) (from left to right) are only 10 days apart in age but about 7 lbs difference in size? Yeah, Lukas is a BIG BOY! Well, Niki and Thomas were here last weekend for Grandma Joy's birthday party. We all had a great time together and as you can see the boys had a great time as well. I think they were both trying to put each other in their mouths? LOL! It almost looks like they were going to give each other a kiss? How cute!!!!

Saturday morning fun.....the boys playing!

Toby was playing his Superman computer and Lukas crawled over to see what all the noise was about. Toby kept playing and Lukas tried to help....which included some slobber and trying to put the computer in his mouth. They had a good time together and Toby is amazing with his little brother. Lukas really loves watching him play!

Playing in the leaves.....

Check out the two big boys playing in the leaves! Lukas thought it was funny to see Toby get covered in leaves. They both had a ball and enjoyed the wonderful fall weather. From those of you in COLD states...it still gets up into the 70's almost every day! Love to all! The ParrishCrew!

Fall!

Well, it is going to take some time to get used to all the leaves that come with the new house! We did some raking but only for playing. We all had a big time playing in a pile of leaves! We raked a big pile of leaves and then we all threw them on Toby. Toby finally had to take his shirt off because he was covered in leaves. He had them in his shirt and hair....we had a blast! We still have leaves on the trees and will wait to do actual raking until they are down. I think they'll be down by Thanksgiving. Then Grandma and Grandpa from Ohio will be here and that will give them something to do! TEE HEE!

Halloween with Grandparents!

This little giraffe didn't want to have his picture taken. He wanted on the floor to play. He had his costume on about 10 minutes before he started sweating! Well, maybe next year? Grandma and Grandpa still enjoyed all the kids coming to the door to hand out candy!

Spiderman and a Giraffe

We have a big Giraffe and a Spiderman that went out to go door to door on Halloween. There was plenty of candy in Toby's bag when he got back. Lukas decided he liked it better where he could roll around on the floor! Hope everyone had a safe, fun filled, chocolate yummy filled Halloween!

WHAT?

I know what I'm doing! You act like this sitting up thing is a big deal....what are you going to do when I walk and talk?

I can sit up by myself!

Check me out! I'm the master of sitting up like a big boy and it won't be long before I'm crawling all over the place. Look out world...here I come!

Roger and I with BIG NUT!

After the game we saw this guy..."BIG NUT" and Roger told me to get my picture taken with him. So, I asked and another guy offered to take out picture for us. Of course tailgating continues in the back ground since OSU won easily. You can't see it in this picture but BIG NUT also has his legs painted a nice grey color to add to his attire! Got to love the BUCKEYE spirit!
GO BUCKS....O-H-I-O! :)

OSU V. Purdue Game

October 11th, 2008 where my brother, Roger, and I watched the OSU v. Purdue game! We had a blast and even though OSU played terrible Offensively we still had a great time. There is nothing in the world like watching OSU football and the BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND at the SHOE! Thanks Roger for the tickets and all the other fun that went with going to a OSU game! Final score 16 - 3....let me just add...Thank God for special teams and the lack of Purdue's punter to hang onto the ball!

Toby with Lukas and Sydni with Hayden

Check out this pictures...I have no idea when it was taken. (I'm guessing it was in the summer since Niki, Trey's sister, was in town with Sydni {age 7} and Hayden {born 10 days after Lukas} and was staying at Jim and Joy's.) I thought it was so cute. Toby is in his black spiderman costume kissing on Lukas and Sydni is in a Incredibles costume holding onto Hayden while all in the bed! If you don't know Trey's family....Sydni is our neice....she is Niki's daughter (Trey's older sister that is my age). They live in Georgetown, SC which is on the coast near Myrtle Beach. So, Toby and Sydni love to play together and we hate that they live so far away! We miss them and love for them to visit us!

Toby hangin out with the Giraffes

Check out this boy feeding the HUGE Giraffes at the Lazy 5 Ranch in NC. He had a blast as you can tell...even if it was raining. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for taking me to the Ranch!

Toby visits the Lazy 5 Ranch in NC!

Toby went with the church group today to visit the Lazy 5 Ranch in North Carolina. Here Grandma took his picture next to the camels. No, Toby you can't ride those! He had a great time and loves feeding all the unusual animals. He loves all of them and they come right up to eat out of your hands!

Maw-Maw's 88th Birthday Party

Sept. 20th was Maw-Maw's (Trey's Dad's mother) 88th Birthday and we had cake and ice cream to celebrate with her at the assisted living home. We had a great time and she asked to hold Lukas (cute...she said, "let me hold it")! Which makes all of us chuckle! There isn't any use in telling her which Great-Grand Child she is holding because she probably can't see who it is anyway. We all just smile and are thankful for the 88 years she has been with us and hope to be there to celebrate again next year. Happy Birthday Maw-Maw...see you next year for 89!

Lukas and Mom

Saturday night (Sept. 20th) we took this. I told Trey I didn't have any recent pictures of me with Lukas and here it is. So I thought I'd add it. Got to see where Lukas gets some of his good looks! LOL! Hopefully he gets a few more of my traits than Toby did...since all Toby got was my lack of PATIENCE! He managed to get his Dad's balance and or GRACE! :) Hope everyone is doing well....we sure all! God Bless All! Love, The Parrish Crew!

Lukas doing the ROCK then Crawl!

It won't be long now...he is up on all 4's doing the "rock" trying to get going to crawl. He is trying so hard until he gets mad and then just falls out. He spends a lot of time on his tummy and would rather be on his tummy when you put him on the floor. I think soon it will be him crawling all over and us trying not to step on him. He is really strong so I think he'll crawl and then shortly after that he'll be walking! I hope so because this boy is HEAVY!

Toby playing with Lukas before school!

Every morning before school starts Toby goes in and plays with Lukas before he leaves. Here is Toby rolling around on the floor with Lukas. They get along so well and Lukas really loves it when Toby plays with him...his face just lights up! We all think they look more and more like each other every day! Aren't they cute?

Lukas eating Cereal!

YUM! Look at Lukas eating cereal for dinner. Hey Dad, how about trying to get some of it in his mouth? He does pretty well, as you can see, it isn't like the kid is missing meals! He is not to far from crawling so look out he'll be running around soon!

Venom Toby

Auntie Cher got Toby a BUNCH of stuff for his Birthday and when he got it out of the packages he was all over this venom spiderman with Web-shooter! He had a blast shooting everyone with web...including mom...who had web even in her hair! We had a great time even though the spider web can didn't last but about 5 minutes. Thanks AUNT CHER AND UNCLE STEVE! :) We are now trying to get him to wear this mask with his black spidey costume but he says he wants to be the "good" spiderman for Halloween! We'll see because he changes his mind daily!

Mom and Dad's anniversary party.....

Marissa and Toby enjoyed the fair animals....they are checking out the horses here! They had a blast and Toby already missing his Ohio girlfriend. Hope to see you soon Marissa! :)

Defiance Co. Fair

Mom and Toby enjoy the fair rides at the Defiance County Fair. Ok, how long do I have to ride this thing and how high does it go?

Grandpa and Lukie

Finally....Grandpa and Lukie meet! How cute! Lukie just couldn't stop smiling...and I don't think Grandpa could stop either! We had a great time and Grandma and Grandpa really spoiled the kids!

Water slide fun!

Even mom had to try out the water slide before all the guests got there. Wow...it was fun and boy does an adult go down that slide fast....look out here we come! Happy Birthday Toby! We love you!

Happy 6th Birthday Toby

What a great birthday party. We had hotdogs, cake, a water slide, and water balloons and lots of friends and family there. The kids all had a blast...

Buckeye Boy

Look at me...I'm all ready for the Ohio State Buckeyes Football Games! Can you believe I have nothing but this OSU bib? What is up with that? I'm ready for another National Championship...Go BUCKS! We're #1!

Look at the boys....already buddies!

Look how cute....the boys are already hanging out in their play room watching TV! Can you see Toby lost a tooth? I can't believe how big they are already. Toby starts school next week and turns 6 tomorrow with a big party this Sat.

AWWWW...sleeping boys!

I guess this is where the old saying comes in...."the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!" Aren't they cute...sleeping like little ANGELS! Well, at least until they wake up.

Uncle Steve...that is Toby's!

First it was Toby shoes! Now Uncle Steve has taken over Toby's 4-wheeler. Uncle Steve give it back to Toby! You are way to big for that!

Carson Reunion

Talk about a MOTLEY CREW! This was the 2008 Carson Reunion. There were a lot of new members there. Lukas and Hayden were both the newest members of the Carson family. Since then (July) Brenda and Daniel added to this group....little Wesley Ann.

End of May....

Uncle Roger brought Grandma down to see the new baby and he was a big help. He fed Lukas while I went to get Toby from school and did a great job. Roger's dog Mitch thought the baby was pretty great to! We missed them a lot when they left.

QUINN are you holding a baby?

Boy, those 2 could be brothers! Quinn, you look like an expert feeding Lukas! Well, the family was only here a couple days but we all really had a great time. We miss them all already!

Grandma and Lukas

Well, Grandma (as Toby puts it...from Ohio) couldn't keep her little hands off this big boy! She even picked him right up out of his car seat to our surprise. Grandma we miss you!

This is the life!

Aunt Cher grabbed right on to Lukas and I didn't think she was going to let him go! We checked her suit case to make sure she didn't take him home with her!
