Trick Or Treat

We had a full fun evening of halloween Festivities. First we went to a friends house and let the little kids play and the parents talk about how cute they were. We walked around the neighborhood with Parker and also went to his sitters house so she could see him all dressed up. The next door neighbor was the first house we went to. The neighbor put about three pieces into Parker's pumpkin one at a time. After the third piece Parker figured out where they were coming from and went straight for the bag to help himself. It was very entertaining and too cute. He kept wanting to pick his own piece of candy from the bowls. Of course I want him to learn he cant just help himself but the neighbors thought he was just so cute they let him take whatever he wanted.



This is Parkers little girlfriend, she was his first kiss








The weather was great!!!! I dont think I have ever experienced weather anywhere as nice as this on Halloween.

We hope everyone had a fun and safe halloween!!!

Happy Halloween

The kickoff to the holiday season has just barley started and things are already hectic around here. There is just a lot going on, which is nice because winter can be such a drag it is nice to have things to do. This week the weather has been great in the nigh 70's. It is hard to believe it is Halloween.

We took Parker to get some Halloween pictures taken in his punk rocker costume that I made for him. He loved playing on the motorcycle and was not happy when it had to get put away.









Parker sporting his flannel PJ's like a little man





Parker went to the pumpkin patch with day care and brought home his own little pumpkin. Mrs. Betsy also got him a Halloween shirt that says mommies little monster.



Parker got some Halloween goodies in the mail from Grandma Cline



Nick and I got a chance to go to a Halloween party while Parker had his first slumber party at Mrs. Betsy's house. We stuck with the punk rocker theme Parker had going on.




I dont know what go into him but he was having a blast acting like a goofball

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend we took Parker to the pumpkin patch. Nick picked out a little pumpkin for Parker and he had to get another one for us.

Parker loved the wagon ride. The whole time we were looking for pumpkins every time he saw the tracter he wanted to go get back on.



He was not so sure about the feel of the pumpkin seeds but he enjoyed being right in the middle of the action when Nick carved them.













Nick was proud of his pumpkin carving skills he never knew he had


Nick gave this pumpkin a Parker smile with the missing tooth.




Parker was eating dinner and babbling on the phone to grandma Lynn



the prior weekend we went to the fire station during an event for kids. Parker didn't want to get too close to the doggie.




Parker discovered how hilarious it is to make farting noises on the leather couch with his mouth, not sure where he learned this but Nick swears he didn't teach it to him. Boys will be boys!

From Sep 27-Oct 7 we took a nice long vacation to Maine and Boston. The main reason for the trip was for Nicks 30th birthday that was on Sep 28th. We flew in and out of Boston where my Friend Emily lives wither her husband Ryan and 3 month old baby Ella. We then took the train into Boston and visited Nicks family and friends.


the trip included a lot of travel. Parker had a hard time sitting still for a long time but overall he was a very good little boy for us.



Nicks Dad lives on the coast so we went down and watched the waves after the hurricane passed.

Steve's (Nick's dad) backyard is landscaped with several little gardens and all sorts of fun things for little boys to get into. Parker enjoyed exploring


Whoppie Pies are a big thing in Maine and you can buy them everywhere. Parker had his first taste of one
He gets his sweet tooth from his mamma...I love the peanut-butter whoopie pies
Nick's Friend TJ has a little boy Beckette that is 6 month older than Parker. The boys had a good time playing together.



Nicks Mom, Lynn, took Parker out on the golf cart and Parker loved to steer when they were in the open field. She taught him "1,2,3 Go" and he kept running to the door every chance he got to try and get out and go drive.







Nick's Grandma



Lynn put together a bday party for Nick this is him with his Sister Georgia


Grandpa Arthur took parker on the tractor


The last weekend we were on vacation Parker and I went back to Boston to stay with Emily. This is me and her baby Ella

Parker liked to try and swing her or bounce her in her chair. He had a hard time understanding why everything was the babies and he could not get into anything.

To give parker a chance to play we headed to a childrens play center. On one of the other days we went to the zoo.
