Sydney- Homecoming!

 Sydney went to her first Homecoming Dance in October!  She went with a group of her friends, and I couldn't believe how grown up she looked!

Halloween

 We had a fun Halloween!  It was a little different this year.  Taylor (and I) went with friends of hers in a different neighborhood.  Parker stayed here and went with neighborhood friends, and a couple of friends from outside of the neighborhood.  Sydney just went along for the ride!

Taylor: (Scary clown)

Parker: (Karen) ;)

The goods!

Our favorite neighbor who loves to mess with our Ring doorbell ;)

Parker is NINE!

 I can't believe my baby is 9!  

Parker's birthday is the 4th in a line of birthdays in our family.... we almost tailor the decorations that have already been up for the new birthday person. ;)

For Parker's birthday, we surprised him and painted his school's rock!

He got to open his presents that night...

We went to dinner with Grandmom to celebrate!

Then, the next weekend, he had his birthday party!  He invited about 12 friends and we rented out a local gym.  The kids played basketball, kickball, whiffle ball, and football.  There were lots of shirtless 3rd graders, lots of sweat, and lots of fun!  Even the dads got into it. :)

Opening his presents back at home:

Parker is a mixed bag... he is sweet and snuggly; he has a lot of friends; he tries to be "so cool" in front of his friends, which we are trying to talk to him about; he enjoys reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid books; he is all about trading cards (currently, it's football cards); he loves his PS4; he enjoys basketball and flag football; he's has a very sweet nature to him.  I want to freeze time!!

Happy birthday to my sweet boy!

September!
