Happy Birthday to Parker...

I can't believe it, but Parker is officially 3 years old! We have had a fun and busy time celebrating the occasion. He had his Birthday party this past weekend, which was a "fire truck" party. It was a lot of fun, and I think he had a great time running around and playing with his friends. He had been talking about wearing his party hat and eating his fire truck cake for weeks, so I think he was very happy when the day finally arrived. After the party was over, and everyone was gone except us we were cleaning up and Parker walked in and said "It's not my Birthday anymore, party's over." It was so cute. I tried explaining to him that his party was over, but he hadn't even had his "actual" Birthday yet. I think to a 3 year old that meant, I get another party?!?! And- we practically did have another party today. He got to wear his party hat again this morning and have a special Birthday breakfast with a candle in it. Anthony met my mom, Parker and I over his lunch hour to go to the Adventure Science Center. We had never been before, and even though Parker was too young for some of the exhibits he enjoyed running around and touching everything! Tonight we met my parents and sister at Chuck E Cheese for some pizza and games. He got ANOTHER Birthday cake, this was a small soccer one (since he is obsessed with soccer these days). It has been a wonderful few days and we feel so blessed that we have a wonderful, happy, healthy 3 year old little boy- and that we have such wonderful family and friends that love him so much. He is still the light of our lives, and we can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us. Here are some pictures from the celebrations, enjoy :)

I am SO glad you all had fun celebrating! Caleb and Jackson have the same sand and water table. Evan played in it and dumped sand all over himself! =)
