Weekend away with Great Friends

In the middle of November we decided to go for a weekend away with my best friends family.  It was so nice to just get together and visit.  The kids had a great time, we spent a lot of time in the park and in the pool....we are looking forward to a get together in the spring.

 I love to swing!

 I can do anything Brooke can do

 Is my Goddaughter beautiful or what?

 Parker attached himself to Aunt Cwissy very quickly

 This was Parker's first time swimming since we got ride of the diapers...his trunks were a little big

 Parker trying to do what Carson had just done

 Not choking his sister

 Sort of not choking her

 Totally choking her!!

 Her poutty face...IE get what ever I want face

How amazing...Crissy and I have been friends for like 17 years now and it has been an amazing 17 years....I love her children like they were my own and I am so looking forward to the next 17 years.

The last soccer game of the year!

Well the first season of soccer came to an end in the middle of November and we still have a long way to go for that all star soccer player that I dreamed of having.  Parker likes soccer...or he liked the popcorn we promised him if he would run after the ball... still not totally sure about that!!  Over all it was a good experience and we all laughed a lot.  By the end of the 8 weeks he was actually getting the concept of kicking the ball not just running around chasing after Ethan.... and it looks like we will start another 8 week session in the middle of January....if anyone is looking for something to do on Sunday afternoons!!!

 Notice no ball

 No Ball

 Seriously NO BALL

 PARKER YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KICK THE BALL NOT CARRY IT

 Well at least Ethan is kicking the ball!!!

Team picture...we had lost several players at this point....

Halloween 2012

Halloween was a trip this year....the pictures say it all!!!  Before we went trick r treating I took the kids to see great grandma....as usual Parker hammed it up for the camera.

 Then it was time for the festivities to begin...Parker and Ethan could barley stand it!!!

 Brady, Carter, Ethan Parker Ella and Chase all ready to go

 Parker running from door to door.....until he got tired a half a block later
