Changes!

My baby boys!
This was taken at Adria & Julius's wedding...

WOW...it's been a long time since I have opened my blog!  A lot has happened since this picture was taken.
I have lots to catch up on!  Here are just a couple big changes with my boys:


1.  Tyler has grown!
2.  Elder Tyler Christopher Park was called to serve a mission to Cuernavaca, Mexico.
3.  Elder Park is in the MTC!
4.  Robbie was married June 16th, 2012 to Hannah Carol Taylor!

The other 'younger' man in my life...

Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.

Hey, hey, we're the Park Family,
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

Hey, hey, we're the Park Family,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be comin' to your town.

Notice the color of Tyler's shirt...creek adventure below!
I'm just glad he had two shirts.

Rudi Belle (Labrador Retriever-note the retriever part)
wanted to get the ball that just 'happened' to land in the creek during family pictures...
Mom wasn't going to let that happen-wet dog for family pictures-I don't think so.
SO...(notice the 'white' shirt)
Tyler, with the help of Dad and Robbie, retrieved the ball.
Can you say 'fetch'...

Robbie and Rudi Belle look way to innocent in this picture...
I think they were planning the whole thing!
Robbie saying..."Rudi, you see the creek? Well, when I toss/chuck the ball into the creek
you have to pretend to 'fetch' but we will let Tyler get it so his
white shirt will get all dirty for family pictures!"

This was picture was taken before the 'creek' incident!
Notice...Tyler still has a white shirt on.
On some of the pictures you'll see that Tyler has a
black shirt on...hmmm I wonder what happened???

Mama's boys...

Daddy's girls...

What are little girls made of, made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice, and everything nice,
That's what little girls are made of.

What are little boys made of, made of?
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails,
That's what little boys are made of.

The men in my life...

... families can be together forever ...

This is what life is all about...family!

What is success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded!

Go fish...

Papa Rob's 'little buckaroo'...

Family outing at Elk Castle Shooting Range...

Tyler enjoyed the outing a little too much!

Not sure if it was Adria's 38 or Julius' 45...
because every time a gun went off I'd jump!
It was kinda scary!

Ty with Charlie's Angels...
check out those glasses

Papa Rob loved the outing!

Not sure who enjoyed this game more...
Colton, Rudi Belle or the family.
This could have gone on for hours!

Rudi Belle and Colton...

Colton having
fun at the
park with
Uncle Robbie...

Will Ferrell
better
watch
out...he
just might
have some
competition
for Elf 2!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy
who'll decide where to go.
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

Elder Colton Joseph Newman

shirt pressed, pants ironed,
shoes polished, tie in place,
coat buttoned, hair combed,
and ready to go...

The Santa Anna winds have nothing on Texas winds... One cold-n-windy day a couple weeks ago we couldn't see our metal glider. When Rob went to look for it he was surprised to find it in the pool. Before the wind came it was on the other side of the pool on the deck. Those cushions hold a lot of water! Needless to say boys weren't too happy about getting in the pool...

Our adventures at the
Fort Worth Zoo!


Don't believe the date...
It was really 1/3/2008 not 1/3/2004!
If it was 2004,
Colton is awfully small
for a four year old...
and Robbie and Tyler
are aging really well...

The Bird Whisperers!

Got shoes?

Yes...the date is wrong again...it's now 2009.
Boy, time flies by quickly in our family!

Best friends...

Well what do ya know...this is the right date!
