Happy Thanksgiving!!!

And Hotty Toddy! Beat State!

Out and About

Over the past couple of months Parker has...

Taken a day trip to Chattanooga with friends (and us) to explore the Children's Museum and downtown.

 Gone to a car show with Daddy and Granddaddy. This kid is obsessed with cars!

 And visited the zoo for the last time in 2013. I just love the kangaroos!

House Projects

We've taken on a few house projects lately. Keith and his dad (under the supervision of Parker) are working on the master bathroom.

I'm re-painting the dining/living room and changing the light switches and outlets from beige to white. And we're making the mudroom into a combo playroom/office. The goal is to get these things (mostly) completed by the end of the Thanksgiving weekend (despite the fact that we'll be traveling part of the time). Wish us luck! 

Happy Birthday, Keith!

Happy Birthday to the BEST daddy!

We love you SO MUCH!

Hey Cowboy!



Bath Time!

Parker LOVES bath time. Unfortunately, he inherited my dry skin so bath time is not always kind to him (especially in the winter). We've adopted an every other night routine and Parker's response when he realizes it is bath night is pure excitement. He dashes straight to the tub and tries to climb in. He likes: to keep the water running as long as possible, bubbles, splashing, and lately he's been fascinated with filling a cup and dumping the water onto his belly or back.

Of course I can't pass up photo opportunities so here are some (censored) pictures from the past couple of months:

Our Boy!

Halloween 2013

Early on we knew that Parker would be a monkey for Halloween. It was only too fitting for our mischievous, banana loving climber who has a Curious George flap book in his regular reading rotation. And seriously, what a cute monkey he made!

(For whatever reason P decided that the banana peel must be edible -we usually don't give him the peel- so it was quickly taken away since he would not keep it out of his mouth.)

 

Halloween night we put P in his monkey costume. It was stormy (as in tornado watches) so we didn't get out. He was all dressed up with no where to go! (But he was upset because of the crazy wind whipping around, not because we didn't get lots of candy.)

Thankfully, his Daddy kept him entertained and his mind off the storms. He loves the piggy rhyme.   

The Sunday before Halloween was our church's trunk or treat. We had chili (P had Fritos. So healthy, I know.) and helped man our Life Group's photo booth themed trunk. Actually, I helped with the trunk. Keith had his hands full with a restless, busy monkey. ;)

 Parker's friend was also a monkey. They were too funny staring at each other.

Of course, we couldn't let Halloween pass without carving a pumpkin. P loves Thomas the Train so Keith carved a Thomas pumpkin. P helped (a little).

Now, bring on Thanksgiving (and Keith's birthday)!
