The BYU-NM basketball game was a total sellout. What fun in the Marriott Center!!

The BYU basketball players were getting all hyped up before the game and the Marriott Center was rocking.

Grandma Vicky can't get enough of little Parker. Here he is checking out the new world he has been welcomed in to. He is a beautiful boy with dark hair and dark eyes. We were able to help Lance and Diana for a week after Parker's birth.

Parker Taylor Lewis is relaxing in his bouncy seat that vibrates. We tried to keep him awake a little during the day so that he would sleep at night.

Ethan loves being a big brother to little Parker. Here they both pose for a picture.
