Parker
My sweet Parker (almost 3)! This kid seriously melts my heart. He could honestly get away with murder. His sweet squeaky voice, big blue eyes, dimples and rabbit teeth just gets right to me. I know I probably baby him and spoil him, but until I have another baby he will have to do. He is such a snuggle bug and loves to have his "lovie" (satin blanket) with him at all times, but don't worry, if he forgot it any satin will do. He loves his tags inside his shirt and especially Daddy's "lovie shorts" (his work-out shorts). He is a little bit of a neat freak and constantly reminds me to vacuum...as he pulls out his to accompany mine. He is obsessed with skateboarding and has just started to ride primarily on his feet, no more knee boarding for Parker. On Friday nights in Poway it is "Kids Only" skateboarding. He felt the peer pressure and really stepped up his A game; he stood up and rolled down the hill. A super big deal! He loves his big brother and his Mommy and Daddy and we sure love him too!


Gavin
Mr. Gavin (4 1/2)! My little man with his deep voice and mature attitude. He is our natural athlete. This kid is good at anything physical. He loves to dance; hip hop and break dance as well as wrestling and rock climbing. He forgets that most kids don't like to play as rough as him and sometimes plays too rough at preschool. Ooops! He loves to learn and actually read his first sentence today! He is such a great helper and plays pretty well with Parker. He is Daddy's sidekick and always wants to help him with anything, even study his paramedic books with all the gross graphic pictures. He really loves to go to the skateboard park with Daddy and is shredding the "gnar". Everyday he changes his future profession, but has remained consistent with a career in service. He definitely has been the perfect first child and I know he will be an amazing example to his siblings. We love this busy boy and could not have picked a better kid!

Halloween

Trick-or-Treat
Skeleton and a Giraffe. We went trick-or-treating at Grandma Michele and Papa Joe's house. It was so fun. The boys wanted to trick-or-treat all night, but good thing their pails were small and filled up quickly!
All finished and comparing treats.
Trick-or-treat! Gavin was all about it, but Parker was terrified.
Grandma Michele's neighbor gave the boys a huge candy bar. They were thrilled!

Thanks Grandma Michele for trick-or-treating with us and for having such nice neighbors.
Trunk-or-Treat
At church the night before Halloween they had a Halloween party and trunk-or-treat. The party was amazing and trunk-or-treating is always a success.

Pre Halloween Fun with Grandma Viv

We went over to my Mom's house and made Black Cat Cupcakes, Spiderweb Pizza, and carved one last pumpkin.
Papa Jim being silly!
Parker showing us he finished his cupcake.
Gavin really enjoyed carving the pumpkins this year, and was a lot of help.
Me and my boys scraping out all the goop. Parker wanted nothing to do with it...he keep saying, "This is gross!" And it kinda is. :)

Bates Nut Farm

W had such a fun time going to Bates Nut Farm with our friends the Carpenter's and their cute girls. The boys had a blast running around, climbing huge walls, riding pones and playing with their friends. Overall a great day.
