Happy 3rd Birthday Parker

This past weekend we celebrated Parker's birthday party at our house. When planning the party I asked him what theme he wanted and he surprised me & said, "a superhero party!" Up until this point he hasn't really shown much interest in superheros.

Nevertheless, superhero he wanted...superhero he got. I made capes for everyone with their initial on it. This took me a littlel longer than expected. After spending an hour sewing the first cape, I decided this wasn't such a good idea. Three days after I started, I finally finished the blasted things and had made up in my mind that if the little boogers declined my handmade capes I would kindly stuff them down their throats. Luckily, it didnt come to that:)! All 10 of our 2 and 3 year old guests were more than happy to take on the character attire.
I had jars of Parker's favorite things for the kids to put in their goody bags. Raisins, gum, ring pops... pretty much anything with sugar makes Parker's top 10 list!
There's my birthday boy! Man, time flies! It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital crying for someone to help me. Telling anyone who would listen that I changed my mind and I didnt want to birth a child. Two days after starting labor, Parker came into the world by C-section. At that point, I didnt care if he came out my mouth (I have dreampt that before!) He was a beautiful 6 lbs 5 oz.... no matter what Brother Terrell says!









The super hero squad. (Ricky looks more like the hamburglar!)


















































The boys were having more fun digging in the dirt than playing in the bounce house. Boys.





































We are now the proud owners of this lovely bounce house. Ricky and I decided for a little more than it cost to rent, we could just buy one. So, we did. Guess what we are doing every birthday for the next 10 years?














Parker's party was a knock out! Literally. We bought 2 sets of these Hulk boxing gloves and watched the kids wrestle in the bounce house. It was a little boy's dream come true!
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate Parker's birthday!!

Pictures

I am up to my eyeballs in school photos I have recently shot, so I dont have any extra time to spend on here. Just thought I would post some newer photos.

I came in and caught Parker wrapping his "cowboy rope" around Reese's ankle.



































































This is a dog according to Parker (no, I didnt help him...he did it all by himself!)
