Parker is 3!!!

Parker turned 3 Thursday.  I can't believe 3 years has gone by - where has the time gone??  It seems like yesterday we were at the hospital getting ready to meet our little man.  It has been a wild and fun 3 years and I wouldn't trade all our experiences we've had with Parker for anything in the world.  He brings so much joy to our lives and he truly is a blessing from God!  We love you bunches Parker!  Happy 3rd birthday!

Parker's debut into the world - 9/8/08!

1 year old

2 years old

3 years old - enjoying his birthday dinner of Chick-fil-A nuggets and watermelon! 

Parker thought it would be fun to pinch the flame, instead of blow - hah!

Enjoying his cupcake - down to the very last bite!

Aunt Amber, Uncle Kevin, and Cousins Dustin and Shelby sent Parker some great gifts.  He got several outfits and an alphabet apple.  I knew my sister and her hubs Kevin would find something that made noise - hah!  Thanks to you all - everything is perfect!

Leave it to my brother to get Parker a deer hunting shirt - hah!  The shirt says, "Chicks dig me, Deer fear me!"  I think that pretty much sums it up - hah!  Thanks Uncle Ryan, Donnie and Cousin Dakota and Katey for the shirt and for Parker's college fund money! 

For birthday entertainment, we ran around in our backyard, played on the playset and Brad and I played a little baseball with Parker.  The weather has been absolutely gorgeous the past few days - in the 70s.  It's such a welcome relief from 90+ degree heat and humidity!

Parker didn't go to school on his birthday, so the next day he went, we took mini blueberry muffins to celebrate his special day.  The class sang, "Happy Birthday" to him and he loved it!  They ate their muffins for breakfast snack and the teacher told me they gave Parker another muffin, just for him at lunch.  He's definitely a ladies man - hah!  

This sign is in the hallway of the school - so cute! 

Parker had a great birthday and we enjoyed getting to celebrate his special day with our friends and family.  Thanks again to everyone who came to his birthday party to help us celebrate.  Thanks to our families who were there and helped in so many ways.  We love you all!
