First we set off for SA after work on Friday. Parker loves his new car seat. He has so much more room and really likes being able to look outside.
In an attempt to keep him from getting antsy, Parker got a hold of an apple and began to eat it.
We finally arrived just before midnight. The next morning we all got dressed and waited for Colby's party to start. That morning, Austin read a book to Parker. It was soooo cute. He actually sat there, listened to his cousin, and pointed at the book. He was really concentrating. And, Austin read the entire book! Great job Aus!
Then the real fun began! Parker played in his first bounce house.
As with pretty much everything else he does, he threw caution to the wind and had a great old time. The weather was perfect to play outside!
He cruised all around while the big kids were eating their lunch. Auntie Andrea was his bounce house buddy.
She even attempted to take him down the slide...which as you can see he didn't look too thrilled.
But then he loosened up and had a fun time the second go around.
Next it was time for the pinata. There were so many kids!!!
And of course, Colby got the first hit!
Finally after a few good swings by all the kids, the candy fell out. As you can see, Parker watched from a distance and avoided all the chaos.
But a sweet little girl was nice enough to throw something his way.
And he was so proud of himself!
Parker, you got to spend some quality time with your Uncle Neil. I constantly am showing you pictures of family that lives out of town, and I think you even recognized him. You hadn't seen him since Auntie Andrea's wedding in September.
Then it was time for delicious birthday cake. He is just the cutest little guy. I love both my nephews so much!
After all the fun and games, it was time to clean up. And Parker did his share (wink wink).
Apparently he and his Gramere play with the broom during the week. So when Parker saw it outside he immediately went for it. I am imagining him saying "Hey look at me helping out!"
He is such a sweet boy!
ARE YOU ON PICTURE OVERLOAD YET? WELL TOO BAD BECAUSE THERE IS MORE. Only family can appreciate all of these pictures!
Saturday evening we spent a lot of time outside. It seems as though Parker is going to love baseball!
He occupied his time by taking all of the baseballs out of the bucket.
And so I couldn't help myself...Parker's very first t-ball swing. If only his daddy were there...we will make it up soon at home.
On second thought, maybe he will be a golfer!
He just couldn't decide which one he wanted more...the golf club or the bat.
The highlight of the night was the slip-n-slide that Uncle Neil bought Colby for his birthday.
Parker immediately fell in love with the water.
He just loved it!
He had no fear! I can't wait to take him to the pool.
I just love him to pieces!
And of course, Austin had a little fun himself.
I love this picture...look at Parker's face!
This might be my favorite picture...all the cousins playing together.
Gramere took care of drying off the boys.
And Chris and Kristan watched the water excitement from a distance.
Parker enjoying his car...mommy enjoying her cosmo!
He just looks so darn cute siting up and acting all grown up. (insert mommy's teardrop)
Parker had his first chicken nugget and watermelon. He seemed to like both.
Daddy was sure glad to see us when we got home. He had pulled out his remote control Hummer for Parker...and as usual it didn't phase him. He chased the darn thing all around the house. Now Mox on the other hand had an absolute fit.
Perhaps the best part of coming home was setting up the playhouse for Parker. He is still getting used to it, but he loves the slide. He loves to push his cars down the slide too. Thanks Aunt Kristan!
He can't quite raise his leg to get up to the slide.
But with a little help...
...all things are possible!
And to wrap up the weekend...Parker's favorite thing to do is play with phones...so Auntie Andrea let him have one last moment before she went home.
We had such a great time, as usual, in San Antonio. Thanks Kristan and Chris for a wonderful weekend...and Uncle Neil, it was great to see you...bring the brown bag full of cosmo goodies in two weeks!
