Happy Birthday to Parkar!!

Pakar James is 2 years old today!! I can't believe he is already two - time has gone by so fast. He has blessed our lives so much and we are so lucky to have him in our lives. He is getting to be so big - he can talk so good now (that his ears are FINALLY working), he runs all over the place, he loves to play with and do whatever Teylor is doing, he loves to rock, sing songs, and read books every night, he loves going to Gram and Grandpa's house, he loves playing "hoball" (football), he loves to eat, and he just loves to be happy!! We are having a birthday party for him tomorrow night so all my family and Preston can be here for it but we are taking him out for ice cream tonight - his favorite!! I put random pictures of him so enjoy!!

Bumble Bee Transformer and the Little Chicken

This last week has been busy with several Halloween festivities for us! On Monday we took the boys to a Halloween show at the library. They got to dance and sing songs and had a fun time. Thursday night we carved our pumpkins and the boys really liked it. Friday Teylor had a Halloween party at preschool. They ate hot dogs, played games, and dressed up in their costumes.

Picking out our pumpkins:

Teylor's Bumble Bee Transformer


Parkar working hard on his pumpkin -
We let him color it with markers - we thought
that would be safer!!

Teylor wanted to be a Transformer. Cameron made him a neat Transformer out
of boxes and then paint it like the Optimus Prime Transformer - the boxes on his legs would move when he walked so he didn't like it - so he decided to just wear a Bumble Bee costume. Parkar was a little bit hard to figure out - I like to make their costumes and couldn't figure out what to make. I was going to make him a scarecrow like I did for Teylor when he was 2 but I'm weird and didn't want them to have the same costume. So I thought and thought and came up with the chicken. It ended up (I think) being very cute - he didn't really like the hat so much and the feathers on his shirt tickled his face so we kinda had to bribe him with candy for the first little bit to keep the hat part on - as long as was getting candy he was doing fine!!

We all had a fun time going to our family's houses - and the boys were extremely spoiled by them all getting WAY to much candy and other little goodies - Thanks!! We also took them Trick - or - Treating to places like the Fire Department, Police Station, and other things like that. They got a ton of candy - (daddy likes to get them stocked up so he can eat it all!!) and had a really fun night!!
