Apple of my eye

He's been gnawing on that apple for over an hour

Finger painting

Well that escalated quickly

Evil Kenevil

New trick: standing on his truck and trying to use it as a skateboard

Scary

Forget ghosts and witches this Halloween. I've found something much scarier: a marker cap without a maker.

PS-it was only a color wonder marker (we don't use anything else right now) but the sight was still terrifying.

Green Level Gourd Farm

We love this place! And I'm sorry, but my son is the cutest little farmer of all time.

Parker and Sam

We went to Winston-Salem to see our friends bless their twin girls. They also have a 2 year old boy. I kept trying to get Parker and Sam to smile for a picture together, but since it was their first time meeting each other they were pretty skeptical

about it.

Library

We love babytime at the library!

Is it weird....

That I'm obsessed with re-creating pictures that I took last year of Parker?

Funny faces

Parker in the park

Milkaholic

We take hydration very seriously around here

One of the many uses of pipe cleaners

Working on fine motor skills

Horses

We went to visit the neighbors horses (random, I know) and they ran right up to us. It was scary and I don't think we will do that again.

Utah trip

We had a lot of fun going to Utah. We spent time with Jon's side of the family and Parker got to meet all of his aunts and uncles and cousins on that side. We also spent a little time with Jon's best friend from high school and his family. We saw Carolyn at BYU. We went to the Nicklecade and saw my friend Emily and from college and met her husband. We also saw some of the desert and Temple Square and the Conference Center.

We had a lot of fun, but I am totally exhausted and in so much pain. Unfortunately, this is going to be our last trip ANYWHERE for a while until 1) Parker is older and 2) my RA is under control. I tried to take it easy and only do maybe 2 things a day, but even that is too much for me. We have been home for a week now, and I am still recovering. Parker is unpacked but I'm still not unpacked. One small step at a time, I guess.
