The Birthday Week Extravaganza

Parker's birthday started out a little eary  when presents from Aunt Dereth and family arrived

Parker loved all the things that he got them but the vet kit is still one of his favorite toys

The big day... i think Darrin and I went over board but he had a great time opening all of his gifts, but he loved the bike so much we could not get him off of it!!

 i love this face, he was so excited!! 

 I know you are all wondering what we were thinking getting him tools...trust me so were the dogs!!!  He loves them though

 If you notice he is holding his tools and sitting on the bike...he loves his big boy bike!!!

 So we wanted to do something fun for his birthday so we picked up Ethan early from his day care and took them both to Chucke Cheese...This was alot of fun but Darrin and I were exhusted by the end....

After Chucke Cheese we went out for Pizza and then back to moms house for cup cakes and presents

One very worn out baby!!!

The Big Boy Bed!!!

Well We made the transition to a big boy bed!! I have to say I was very concerned about how it would go, but over all it has been easy!!

Parker has been going through a not smiling phase for the camera. So I did not want to spend a lot of professional Pictures!!! So we asked Aunt Em and she agreed, and did a great job!!!

October ..What a busy month

The Boys enjoying last couple of days of fall

The Great Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch last weekend!



Parker trying to give the baby goat a pumpkin!! He was a little frustrated that the baby goat would not take it!



Where to begin










That is one big bird



In the cage like all the other wild animals









So many pumpkins.....which one to get






Dad, these are a little heavy.....



Just decided he would sit on it



Finally found one he could carry



I want this one mom



Carter sitting on the pumpkins






The littlest pumpkin in the patch









I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish






Chase was willing to sleep anywhere!!!!

The St. Louis Zoo

We finally made it to the zoo a couple weeks ago! Parker really had a great time looking at all the animals!!




A little nervous about the hippo that was behind him!!







We also met Darrin's sister and part of her family






All in all it was a fun day, and we had a very tired little boy on our hands!
