Mike's Farm

The weekend before Christmas we took a trip over to Mike's Farm. For those of you in the area if you have not been there yet it is a must for next Christmas. We have enjoyed Mike's Farm in the past but it was even more special this year to share it with Parker. They have a hayride that takes you through there farm that they have lit with all kinds of Christmas lights and scenes. Parker enjoyed the different lights and the music they had playing. The crowd is CRAZY when you go that close to Christmas so we didn't hit the restaurant but we can do that another time. It's GREAT home cooked family style food too.

Big smile cause he just saw that big tractor pull up behind him.

Happy Birthdays are in order!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to little miss Jenna Jackson. We can't believe a year has already gone by. See you tomorrow sweet girl. We love you!!!

And Happy Birthday to our buddy Chase. He turns 4 tomorrow (12/20).

See you tomorrow pal. We love you!!!

Parker's coming to town!

Just a fun video we made with Parker and Copper. Oh the fun things we do with our kids!

We love Nana!

Nana's birthday was this week and she happened to be staying the night with us that night so we decided to make it extra special because we love her so much. Parker helped make her a sign for her room and decorate her cake. We had a great dinner with her and granddad and she even let Parker help her blow out her candles.

Who's ready for Christmas?

Man it hits December 1st and all the sudden there is too much to do. Well we are all ready for Christmas here. We got our tree Thanksgiving weekend and Parker is enjoying it throughly this year. He has some ornaments on the bottom he can touch (which he likes and is actually doing well with not pulling others off. YEAH!!!). He really likes it when the lights are on too (of course).

Decorating the tree

Parker and his buddy Chase enjoying the Christmas flotila last weekend. Every year people decorate there boats for Christmas (lights, snowmen, santa's...) and then they drive them down the river for all to see. This year Santa had a surfboard which was pretty cool.

Jacksonville Christmas parade

Yea this is Jacksonville's where we are bundled up like we are in Boston. It was freezing. I think Parker had 2 of everything on including jackets and gloves. We had fun though. He was mezmerized by all the floats. We got a big laugh because we kept trying to get him to wave as people went by but he just wanted to take it all in. Then the Chicken (man in costume)from "Church's Chicken" walked by and he waved at him like crazy without an prompting. It was quite funny esp. if know annything of Church's chicken).

Santa Claus is coming to town! YEAH!!!

Thanksgiving

Sorry so long since a post but we have been CRAZY around here. Well Thanksgiving morning Parker woke up with a temp. of 104. We managed his temp. with tylenol and were able to see the doc. the next day and to no surprise he had a double ear infection (all better now though). We still went to my parents and got together for Thanksgiving. Parker was a snuggle bug but did enjoy seeing everyone even though he wasn't feeling the best. Luckily he is not a miserable sick baby as long as he has his blankie and pacy. Well we also celebrated my dad's birthday Wednesday (prior to turkey day) and then had our annual oyster roast Friday in his honor. Boy they were good. Wally's parents joined us this year which was nice too. Only down fall was Susie and Scott couldn't make it and we missed them terribly.

Parker enjoying some snuggles with Poppy watching an animals Baby Einstein DVD.

"I really don't feel good! Chicken noodle soup and Pedialyte really bite esp. with all that Thanksgiving dinner cooking. Wait I really don't feel like that either. How 'bout a nap?" Yes Parker slept through dinner but he needed it. Maybe next year.

Parker feeling better with a little antibiotics in the system. He loves his Aunt Kerry!

Can we go outside yet? We promise to be good!

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!
