Parkers life is now complete!

Yesterday Parker and I enjoyed the privledge of attending the grand opening ceremony for the new Karl Malone Toyota dealership. I sang the National Anthem with my sister Amy, and while Parker did catch us on video I am not really sure how much attention he was paying to us because two rows in front of him sat his most favorite basketball player of all time, Karl Malone! Parker could have reached out and touched his back had he not wanted to be thought of as a weird stalker fan. You should have seen him, he was like a kid in a candy store knowing that later on he was actually going to get to meet Karl! It was quite a celebration complete with southern fixins, checkered tablecloths, western attire, a band, karaoke and peanuts (which meant we had to be extremely careful with Brighton) everywhere! They have a small museum full of things Karl has collected or been given over the years. Signed jerseys and shoes from two of the olympic dream teams, gold medals, boxing and nascar memorabilia, other jerseys from various basketball events, rings, signed balls and so much more. But most importantly Parker finally got to meet The Mailman! He shook his hand and they chatted for a bit and then I took a few pictures of them together (which now he wants blown up and framed so he can put them beside the signed balls that he has). Parkers life is now complete. I am surprised that he was even able to go to sleep last night as he was still so giddy when we got home. Our thanks to Andy and Amy!!!!
