Happy Birthday Nana!!!

We hope you have a wonderful birthday Nana and we are soooo glad we get to celebrate it with you. Come prepared to party! We love you!

"Maun Mower"

Parker LOVES the lawn mower. He wakes up saying lawn mower and pointing out the window in his room. Funny thing is the next thing he says is "Ry ry" for Ryan who Parker knows mows the grass on that side of the house. He tells us all about the lawn mower during breakfast and that it's in the shed(he can see our shed at the table). He associates that lawn mower with dada and granddad. Pretty much our breakfast conversation is "maun mower", "shed", "shhh" (because the lawn mower is sleeping), "dogs" and "birs" (for birds). It's pretty funny but man that kid loves the lawn mower. You can see by the look on his face below. His daddy's let him drive around the yard a few times and boy does that make his day.

What a happy kid!



Here's a cute video that Alison took on her camera when we visited them a couple of weeks ago. Chris let Parker sit on his lawn mower in their shed and you'll see Parker didn't forget. The rest is us having fun getting Parker dizzy. So mean aren't we? Hey he seemed to really enjoy it!

Yeah!!!

Parker finally has enough hair for a mohawk. Yeah!!!

About time isn't it!

My first masterpiece!

Parker's first true masterpiece with his tub markers. What do you think? Picasso or Monet?

Our visit to Greenville

This past weekend we traveled to Greenville to see our friends Chris and Alison and their adorable munchkin Davis. We got to catch up while the boys played and then Parker got to see some special things of theirs (like their lawn mower which is top on Parker's list these days, and their bike). Alison was sweet enough to take Parker for a spin on the bike too. Lets just say he didn't want to get off. As you'll see below Davis is as adorable as they come. He was definitely mesmerized by Parker though he said a few things himself. It was especially cute when they talked to each other. If only we knew what they said. Hope to see you guys again soon!!! And Chris thanks for sharing your birthday with us!

Ain't he just CUTE!!!

Alison giving Parker some spins in the chair. He loved this, esp. when he spotted she and Chris when he got around.

ALL the boys

Daddy giving Parker a spin. It was quite funny to watch him try and walk once done. We're sooooo mean aren't we.

Those people wore me out!

Happy Halloween!

We took a trip to the pumpkin patch and Nana and Granddad joined us. Parker really liked picking up the pumpkins. He even tried to lift a few big ones. Granddad bought Parker his very own BIG pumpkin which Parker helped clean out.

Here are a few of our Halloween pics. We had a great time. Wally and Ryan decorated the yard with a graveyard, skeletons, and other creepy stuff along with bats flying overhead and fog to make it extra spooky. We had a good turn out of trick or treaters and Parker got his first taste of going to a few doors. We look forward to next year.

Ohio Trip

Two weeks ago Parker and I ventured to Ohio. Yes I flew with Parker, by myself, on 2planes there and two back. Parker actually did wonderful on the planes and God bless the airports that have play areas. We were jam packed with fun things to do while we were there from the aquarium, to the children's museum , to just playing at the YMCA. Oh and let's not forget Kel and I's attendance at our annual tour of SO You Think You Can Dance with her dad and Julie. Don't worry there are only a few of our pics. below. Thanks to Nash and his dad who watched the kids and put them to bed while we went to the show. What a great dad you are Nash. Don't you think you could handle one more Dreyer around that household? Well the Dreyer's had a great surprise for Parker too. Since they weren't able to attend his birthday party they had a special one for him while we were up there. They gave him some great books and then we celebrated with some yummy pudding. It was quite sweet. We all got to carve pumpkins together while we were there too which Parker had never done before. We were sad to go but hopefully we will see them again soon! Thanks guys for such a wonderful time!!!
