Parker's best buddy!

Such a cool dude!

Like Father, Like Son! Anything Daddy does I must do too!

Like mommy, like son...anything mommy does I must do too! Notice a theme here?

He is OBSESSED with pumpkins! It takes us an hour to go around the block because we have to stop and say hi to each one!

Relaxing at Heritage Park

WEEEEEEE!

Choo Choo time with Grandma and Grandpa

All smiles!

Hello...can you hear me now?!

Enjoying the back yard!

Two generations!

Last weekend we enjoyed a quick but very fun weekend with Grandpa Denny and Grandma Sue from MN! We have never seen Parker smile so much- he really had fun running around and showing off his latest tricks! It was pretty cold but we bundled up for a trip on the "choo-choo" and playtime at Heritage Park. We wish we lived closer but are thankful for the time that we do get to spend with our family no matter how far apart we are :) Thanks for visiting- we had a blast and can't wait for our visit to MN in January.

Impromptu Date Night

Last week Patrick and I had a VERY impromptu date night. We had been trying to score tickets to Darius Rucker for weeks but the concert sold out and we couldn't find any. At the last minute our good friend Steve, who manages Clear Channel Radio in our area was able to hook us up. We even got backstage passes and a chance to pose for a photo op. It was nice to get away for a few unexpected hours just the two of us!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a blast this year...the celebration just kept going and going making for a very tiring and long weekend, but of course we squeezed in tons of fun!

The fun for the adults began on Saturday night. We headed to a neighborhood get together...(after MUCH thought and preperation) as hippies. My dress is circa sometime in 1970 (thanks Mom) so my outfit was truly authentic...Patricks? Not so authentic but he looked pretty good too.


Then on Sunday it was time for some pre-trick or treating fun. We headed over to our good friend's Ali & John for the Annual Farm Chili Cook Off. We didn't win but Parker had fun chasing all of the older kids around and even snuck in a taste of a sugar cookie. I decided to make a "fool" out of myself and dug out another one of my mom's "relics" and went as a Mommy Monkey. See below picture...ok...you can stop laughing now...thank you!


It was so much fun watching Parker really get into the spirit. He absolutely LOVED his monkey costume! Every time he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror he would start speaking in "monkey" at himself. Too cute! We were suprised how well he did Trick or Treating. He ran up to each house alll by himself and even tried to go in the houses of our friends thinking that they were opening up their door and welcoming him in. He even tried to run off with a pumpkin figuring that was more fun than any candy he would get.
