Parke's first fieldtrip ~

It has been five years and counting, that at least one or more of my children have had a field trip to the local farm for some pumpkin picking good times. I don't know what it is about sitting on that hay-ride, taking in the crisp fall air, and admiring the unbelievable beauty around me, but I look forward to it every year.

Hmm... some serious deliberation over which pumpkin to pick:)

Rylie and her bestest gal~pals from the hood. These girls are inseparable, we are so blessed to have such great neighbors.

Parke was having no part in that girl business, i can't blame him. He is a man's~man:)

Some bull-riding, and hay-picking~

And we can't forget the baby animals~ always a huge hit with the kiddos. This little goat was a hungry fella...

I would have to say that Parker's first field trip was a great success. I just wish i could pause him right where he is, although it's mighty fun to watch him grow. His latest terminology includes: 'actually'~ "i 'actually' don't want dat."

'besides'~ 'besides,' dose are mine." Can you tell he's 3? ha!

'poos-paste' (toothpaste)~ "Mom, dis poos-paste doesn't taste bery good"

"Here Mom, I got some 'ocean' (lotion) fer you." adorable.

"Ya! Wet's go to the 'cone' place!" referring to Sill's Cafe where we get some amazing scones~ ha!

He loves to watch 'spicle me'...translation: Despicable Me.

He entertains us with tall tales like, "Last night, a fish ate me, and i was dead!" Many different variations of this story, and always ending with 'and i was dead.' True boy.

'Stoy Story' (Toy Story)~ he is totally obsessed. "Mom, you be Woody, and I will be Buzz." This can go on for hours, and i love it.

He loves to ride his tricycle, read books, snuggle his mom and dad, go to preschool, make new friends, destroy everything in sight!, eat sugar(and man does he ever!), sleep in his special bed in our room, and just be plain awesome.

Love this baby boy more than anything. He keeps life interesting, and happy.

So grateful for his sweet spirit in our home.
