Getting Batman out of Mr. Freeze's ice block

  For Jackson's 5th Birthday Party he wanted a Batman Party.  I was searching for some fun activities for the kids to do during the Birthday Party and I came upon this Batman Bounce House- Awesome, no more activities needed :).  We bounced for a while and then ate lunch and played a couple more games like, shoot the Joker and get Batman out of the frozen container.  Jackson has some really fun friends and they were all very cute and well behaved (it made for a great party).  Happy Birthday Jackson- you are growing into a kind boy who LOVES to be surrounded by friends and family.  You still sing your way through life...literally, you are constantly singing or humming a tune.  You have so much energy and you are finding useful ways to use that energy up- soccer, swimming, piano, playing card games and playing chess with Dad.  You are a delight to have in our family.  We love you!!

Parker turns 2!

Parker turned two in April.  Of course we had a Buzz Lightyear Birthday Party for him.  It's funny how kids lock onto a character and that's what makes them happy.  Buzz it was!  We had a couple friends over for the festivities.  We played some games like shoot Zurg, walk on the moon, and then Buzz's spaceship brought some candy. Happy Birthday Parker!

Some things about Parker at age 2:

- He continues to snuggle and cuddle

- He get's really sad when Jack has to go to school or somewhere where he can't go too

- He thinks telling me what his burps taste like is funny (such a boy)

- He loves to wrestle with dad and Jack, and he can't get enough of wrestling/or tackling Jack's friend Luke

- He is quietly mischievous

- LOVES to play in water.  Bathtub, pool, water "shooters" or his water table is where he can be found.

- Gives the BEST hugs

- Loves to read books before bed 

- Is really into singing "Happy Birthday"

- Favorite song to sing at night is "Childs Prayer"

- Is a serious talker, talks, talks and talks

- Loves fruit of every kind

- Is happy and has a roll with it kind of personality, but is definitely in the exploration and "do it my self" phase.

We love Parker so much and are so thankful that he is part of our family.  He is a bright spot in our lives and we can't wait for more Birthday's to celebrate.

A quick side Birthday story for Parker.  After we opened the Piñata and got all the candy out, Parker walked up to the spaceship and looked to the side that Buzz's picture was on and he said over and over again, "thank you Buzz, thank you Buzz".  It was so darling- just goes to show underneath that two year old, there is a thankful boy who loves his Buzz!
