The Great Pumpkin Patch 2012

Well yesterday we made our annual trip to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Arther IL.  This is the third year that we went to the patch and had so much fun.  We went with the Cours this year, Parker and Ethan were all over the place running around and really understood why we were their this year.  

he was getting braver around the goats

 Brady had no fear

 Can you say TROUBLE

 Hey that is my pumpkin

 Two peas in a pod

 This pumpkin is really BIG

 HE loved climbing on these pumpkins

Parkers First Soccer Game

Well last Sunday, Parker had his first soccer game.  I think I was more excited then he was!  Since soccer is something that my entire family takes VERY SERIOUSLY they were all there.  Even Darrin's dad came out to watch but I think he was trying to figure out what the big deal was all about...
We are very happy because my nephew Ethan and Parker are on the same team.  Ryan and I were just so excited to see the boys take the field...now if I could just get Parker to go after the ball it might look like he wants to play soccer

 They were so excited they could not even stand still

 Think I should be worried

 OK so he seems to be carrying the ball a lot.  Parker kept saying that no one would give him a turn with the ball so he would dive on the ball...I am thinking Goalie

Poor kid we are always telling him to share and then we go and tell him to take the ball away from someone else...he totally did not get it
