Happy Autumn!

Even though the calendar says it's October, it hasn't really felt like it!  The temps have been warmer than usual and so we have been taking advantage of all that warm weather by playing outside as much as we can.

Two weeks ago, on a special day here, Jackson enjoyed coloring some Toy Story color sheets and some color and cut Toy Story puppets.  He sure loves Toy Story! 

#1 Toy Story fan!
Alex came over for a few hours on the following Tuesday and was able to play with Jackson for awhile that day.  They had so much fun playing on the cars and bikes in the driveway!  Parker loved watching the boys from her stroller.
Jackson LOVED riding in the car!

Our favorite game that day was playing Happy/Sad face.  Both of the boys had so much fun as we all showed each other first our happy faces and then our sad faces over and over again.  Jackson was so funny because he would pretend to cry each time he would show his sad face.  It was sooo cute!  I wish I would have had the camera out for that, oh well, maybe the next time we play that game.

Finally, I received a couple of small pumpkins from my cousin and couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of Parker (in her adorable little monster outfit) next to them.  She is so photogenic (just like her brother, Caden)!

 This upcoming week is MEA week for the school children.  It will be nice to have Andrew home for a few extra days.  We will also get visits from Shelby, Drew and Luke this week.   I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.  We should have a couple of fun Autumn crafts and games to try also.  Stay tuned!

Parker Crawls!!!

Well, she's done it!  Parker began crawling this last week!  It was so much fun to watch her finally figure it out and watch her go!
There she goes!!!


Hooray Parker!

On Wednesday, we were visited by Drew and Luke for the day.  They enjoyed the morning outside with the play workbench and toy tools.

Alex came over after preschool.  It was a beautiful, sunny day so after lunch, we walked down to the park to play for awhile.  The boys had a lot of fun!


Oh, that's much better!  Happy boys!
On Thursday, it was just Alex in the morning so we played outside on the cars and bikes while waiting for Parker to arrive.  He is such a cleaver little boy.  While playing, he figured out how to make his own tow truck!  It was so cute and Alex was so proud of himself as he cruised up and down the driveway!  Gotta love it!

Lastly, I had to include these cute pictures of Parker.  With those teeth coming in, one of her favorite items these days is the teether.  It's her favorite when it's cold just out of the fridge. 
Love those big blue eyes!


Happy girl!
