Halloween recap

Since its thanksgiving next week I figured I should post on Halloween. The plan was for P to be lil Frankenstein this year. Well the costume had a short shirt and super long pants. Not to mention Parker did not want to wear the hat. We still tried for the ward party.

A community around here had trick or treating with the businesses, tractor rides, and a bounce house. We all decided to be dentists for that. We each had a toothbrush and box of toothpaste. Drew felt lame since that's his daily giddup for school. No other adults dressed up so we looked a little silly. P loved the tractor ride but wasn't digging the idea of the bounce house.

We did try trick or treating this year on Halloween night. We went through the neighborhood behind our complex with our friends and their kids Carson and Lydia. We were some of the earliest out so a few houses hadnt started yet. Glad we went with older kids cause P had no idea what was going on and just followed them. It was freezing here that night so we only lasted maybe an hour. Parker did like seeing batman at one of the houses. When we got close he was in awe and was whispering "bah man". Ha he said batman the whole way home!

haha checkin out carsons stash

We do weekly girls nights here with the dental wives. The week of Halloween was a murder mystery party. It was my first one too! Some ppl were hilarious with their parts totally made the night!

sorry I screen copied this pic.

Family Picture pt 2

If you remember, we took family pictures this summer in Gatlinburg during my familys reunion. P was only 13 months old and was hardly walking then so he didnt look much like a toddler then. I have lost some weight/ inches since then so I thought we needed new pictures. Especially if we planned on doing christmas cards.

My awesome friend out here, Katie, did a total last minute shoot for us. Drew and I had been talking about it but didnt know when would work best. Kentucky was having some awesome weather for awhile so Drew said, why dont we take pictures tomorrow. Katie was down. The weather was in the high 60s. Perfect!

Recently

I'm a little behind with blogging so here are some happening from my phone.

This is my arm. P was teething I think. He has since cut 4 more teeth.

I didnt tighten the straps and I was worried he was going to jump out

a particularly happy day on the way home from the gym. living the life

17 months! Its crazy he's that old now! and a whopping 25 lbs too!

Enjoying a sucker

sugar high?

Such a big helper. He wanted to carry the TP at the grocery store

There is one cabinet in the kitchen that doesnt have safety locks and he LOVES to play in it. (only contains plastic bowls and napkin rings)

he's gotten into hiding lately. same cabinet

even the pantry

P at the park riding a little motocyle

This was sunday. Poor thing wasnt feeling well and I guess was acting up for Drew at church. Drews dad used to put him on a stack of chairs when he was little and being bad a church. 

Proud parent moments. Mine was throwing food at Parker. haha. The other day he needed to eat lunch, hardly ate all day. But he decided to throw it all on the ground and wouldnt listen to me telling him to stop. so, I threw it back. haha. it was ripped up pieces of lunch meat and cut up string cheese. Yeah, I'm the best mom. Take notes. ;)

Huber farm

To finish off fall break we headed to Indiana. Huber farm is a pretty cool little place to go play. Alot of dental  students/wives went last year but we didnt go since P was so little. We went with our friends the Wangsgard (P's gf's family) First we rode a track out to the pumpkin patch. Poor P tripped alot over all the vines.

crackter (tractor)

crackter!

look at that face! He tried so hard to pick it up.

our millionth attempt to take a family picture

Parkers pumpkin

Next we headed on another tractor to feed some animals

P really wanted to ride this little car but his arms were too short to be able to sit all the way on the back. note his crackter in his hand. He fell in love with it in their farmers market so of course we had to get it for him

surprisingly, he didnt like actually being on the tractor.

D + P
