Kitty

We lost our poor Kitty today. He was 17 years old and his health had been declining lately. This cat was always very patient and loving with Parker and very tolerant of a boy curious about whiskers and tails and ears......
He was a wonderful cat and will be greatly missed!

Pearly Whites

Parks had a dentist appointment today and the kid was a Rock Star!! He let them clean his teeth and look in his mouth and do everything they needed to do with no fussing!!The dentist said he has wonderful teeth and to keep up the good work!

New Shirt

Grandma C made Parker a Pirate Penguin shirt, he picked out the design and she made it for him.....

A Boy and His Dog

Parker was only 14 months old when we got Phoebe....... Some people thought we were crazy for getting a puppy with a toddler.......
But we knew it was the best thing for our family......

Look at these two.......They love each other so much.

Country Fair & Cool Fort!

Tonight daddy built Parker a super cool fort under his bed. They call it Echo Base. This first picture is with the flash on.... Here it is in the dark, they have a couple of cool lamps in the fort and 2 flashlights.
Parker John thinks it's pretty awesome. I'm not sure who likes it better though, Parker or daddy. Parker pretends that mommy is a princess and they are keeping me safe in the fort from the mean wampa's (dogs)......

Earlier in the day we went to Parker's school Country Fair. It is a fundraiser for his preschool and they had lots of games and a silent auction and lunch and of course the bouncy castle.

The kids got to write on the tables ( I volunteered at the fair and actually taped down the very paper the boy is writing on!)

It was a pretty fun day for all!

Little Sportster's

Signed Parker up for a class through Community Ed. Each week he tries a different sport, this week it was bowling. Parker is the one with the red shirt with black sleeves (kinda hard to tell from far away). The class meets for 6 weeks.

Zoo Time

Went to the Zoo with the Knight's again. Walked through a lot of the inside but spent most of the day outside! It was very nice for November and for some reason Parker has never looked at the outside stuff at the Zoo (maybe because there is so much to do inside and we are tired by the time we finish!)
There is a little playground area, and even though it's not much different than any park the boys loved it.

Here they are fishing....

and digging for dinosaur bones....

Here we are on the monorail that they beg to go on every time.....and this is what they do every time....look through the cracks.....What? There are animals at the zoo?? Who would've thought?

We spent some time with the dolphins while waiting for the monorail and Parker actually got splashed and his hair and back were wet, he was so excited about it!!
