Randomness

A few weekends ago we ventured out into the unknown of downtown Portland to watch the Oregon Beavers triple A baseball team. We went with some great friends and speaking for myself, had a great time. Lincoln loved the sights and sounds and Benson was an angel. Dave was kind of a handful, but what can you expect from a 28 year-old. It was amazing how many people were watching Benson and not the game, he got his own share of ooohs and aaahhs.





We really enjoyed the food, sounds, and smells, only sporting events can bring. Love them hotdogs!
Lincoln was a champ!

This is Benson shortly after his bath. I love a clean, Johnson and Johnson smelling baby. Especially since the reason for the bath in the first place was due to a major blowout followed by Benson peeing on himself. The joys of a newborn. Love ya Benson!
Lincoln enjoying his bath as well. What a stud!



Just about to enjoy one of the most delectable things on the planet. A S'more!


Handsome Dave roasting himself a dog!

Lincoln just kickin back!

Nap time for the babes!

I wasn't really sleeping, as you can tell by the smirk on my face.





Lincoln passed out on the couch after a long day of playing hard!
Just a random pic of Benson!

Introducing Benson Eric Parkinson

Benson was born on June 24th at 2:08pm. He weighed in at 9lbs. and 70z. and was 20 inches long. We are so happy he is here safely and don't know what we ever did without him!

Below is a newborn picture of Lincoln.


Do you think they look like brothers?

A very chubby Benson

A picture of the delivery room. My hospital stay was amazing! I felt like I was in a hotel!



Grandma Jen holding her second grandchild. Isn't she beautimous!
All I can say is that we never could have survived without my mom. She cooked, cleaned, babysat, and the list goes on. Thanks mom!

Me on epidural drugs = Happy! The delivery was awesome! I was induced. We went to the hospital at 7:30am, I was already dialated to a five when we got there. Since I was already dialated so much they decided to give me my epidural first thinking the labor would go pretty quickly once my water was broken. The doctor finally came and broke my water around 11:30am and Benson was born at 2:08pm. I was amazed I only pushed for 8 minutes. And the best part was...I didn't feel a thing!
Me and my two sweet sons!



Our amazing family of four! I sure love my boys!

Just cuddling with my new babe while sporting the birds nest hair style!

Proud Daddy!




Lincoln sporting his new trike from Grandma Jen. He is adjusting to having this new person around. He gives Benson kisses every once and a while but is still a little unsure of what is happening. Don't worry Lincoln, we still love you so much. How could you not love this face!

Benson just chillin!
Just a few cute shots of Lincoln! He loves playing in the dirt when go to work on our garden. Typical boy! Love you Linc!
