Go Sun Devils!



Since Mark is currently working on school work due to ASU tomorrow, I thought I'd post some pictures of Parker in his ASU gear.

(The real reason for the post is Mark's been super busy with school the last two weeks or so. Parker's already gone to bed and I'm bored.) But thanks to Dad for the ASU outfit. Parker gets lots of compliments on it.

Vacation

I finally found a place to take our disposable cameras (not everywhere handles film anymore). So now I have cds of the pictures we took in California when we went- about a month ago.

At the Angels Game


Mark, Great-Grandpa, Grandpa & Parker


Dana Point Harbor


My FAVORITE of all the pictures

on the ferry with Grandma

Wow, we did lots of fun stuff on our trip. The only thing left out (which was probably the highlight) was that we got to spend time with Mark's sister and her three kids. I guess I was too busy taking pictures of my own kid to try to get the cousins. I do have one picture of Parker with his cousins, but the disk its on is at Motophoto where I'm making prints of some other pictures. Thank you to all the Dorffs that spent the weekend with us, we had a lot of fun and want to come back.

I know this post won't be exciting for Evaly or Lorinda
who have already seen the pictures, but everyone else
has to see just how cute Parker is. Mark's sister, Evaly,
took these pictures when we were in California.
Lorinda, I'll be making some prints for my
Mom, would you like some, too? I have taken pictures
recently but they are on the FANTASTIC disposable
cameras we bought, I don't remember what you do with
those. I'll figure it out so I can keep spreading joy by
posting Parker's pictures.

I have a car FULL of Similac Isomil Advance formula. I haven't had to buy formula yet so I don't know what the important info is, but I think it says soy free and good birth to 12 months. But I would love to get rid of it, because I can fit nothing in my backseat. Not even little Parker. So if you know anyone that is feeding their baby Similac give them my number. I'll give it to anyone. Oh yeah, and its ready made- you don't have to add water.

My first day of school... for the hundreth time.

ASU goes back to school today, I start todays classes around 3:30 and finish around 9 pm. This semester I have one of my classes at the downtown phoenix campus which I hope won't be to annoying.

It looks like I'll be taking 18 credits in the fall, and spring and hopefully a class during the winter break. That will leave me 5 elective credits short of graduating with my BA in Economics and my minor in Business. If possible I'll do an internship over the summer and some other elective and hopefully the school will let me graduate in May! We'll just have to wait and see how things play out.

Parker gets bigger by the minute... Christy can't believe she's not going back to school with me and were heading to California for the labor day weekend. later...

So I'd like to report on my stay-at-home-dad status... Things are going really good actually. It helps that parker has been pretty easy going about the whole thing and that Christy from the beginning has tried to make sure Parker "knew" me. We hang out, he sleeps and eats, we play, and I change about a dozen diapers. It's been great.

I wish I could say the same thing for Christy... Unfortunately she's had to go back to work where all day long she is reminded about babies and not being with parker :( Hopefully that will get better and her schedule will continue to be flexible.

I thought I would also say that my final went well weds and I ended up with a B+ in the class (it should have been an A). Thanks for the Logo feedback Cami, Brent and for the comments on "thinking to much" I've concluded not everybody thinks the same but most people are greatful for the ability to do so. Later...

Soon to be a Super Dad! (aka stay-at-home papa) For those I may not have told, a week ago I turned in my two-week notice. However things changed for the better because my manager worked with me so I could stay on 20 hrs a week. I'll be working 3 day's per week at times when christy's at home or her sister April can watch parker. So I'll have lots of fun with parker and plenty of time to think :)

Speaking of thinking... Do other people take time to think? I probably think to much... about anything really, it doesn't matter. I do love my thinking time, just ask yourself "why?" one day and it's amazing where your mind can go. Moving on...

Christy goes back to work Monday the 4th, she's not all that excited but she did print out some nice pictures to take with her to work. I guess it's proof for her co-workers who have been covering her case load that she's be working harder than them the past 12 weeks.

This is my last week of summer school and my final is on Wednesday the 6th. Most of the family is/will be at a dorff/davis reunion in Utah, I hope everybody is safe and has fun.

Here's a link to a blog for Blue Mountain Capital, LLC. It just monitors the company's growth and explains a little about what it is I'm doing with it. Let me know what you think of my Logo... Christy thinks its to "Skaterish" but I kind of like it :)
