Happy Valentine's Day!!

Parson baked some Valentine cookies to take and share with his nursery class last Sunday. He was super excited to take them!
He made this fun Valentine craft at the Fun Van on Monday
He got a fun Valentine package in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa
I got up Tuesday morning and put up a few decorations for him to see when he woke up

Opening his Valentine present

"It's a big Buzz Lightyear!!!" He was very excited! I have heard nothing but Buzz noises since he opened him up

Of course we had to have chocolate! I made these heart shaped brownie ice cream sandwiches

Cutest Introduction!

A couple days ago we took Parson on a walk to the park. There were a few kids there running around. Parson saw 3 girls playing in the sand and he walked over to them and said "Hi little girls my name's Parson, I'm a big boy" and then just started playing. Haha! I was cracking up at his little introduction of himself. It was especially funny because the girls were a few years older than him and he was calling them little girls and telling them that he is a big boy. He cracks me up! Love my little boy! (He might think he is a big boy, but will always be my little boy! :) )

Zoo Day

Last Monday we went to the zoo with grandma, Aunt Ty, Tatum and Tripp. It was the perfect day for the zoo there wasn't a ton of people and the weather was awesome. Checking out the tiger

Grandma showed the kids the buttons that they can push which then turned into the rest of the zoo being about pushing the buttons over and over and over again at each animal


They stamped a penny, we ended up with a rhino stamped on the one we made

Tatum standing like a flamingo

Tripp was over riding by himself in his stroller so we tried squeezing them all into the wagon, don't they look comfy! Tatum was nice though and let Bubba ride in the stroller and she walked
The story behind this picture is, Parson pushed Tripp out of the way and wouldn't let him push the button for the animal, so he had to go sit in time out. Tripp felt bad for him though so he went and sat with Parson and played in the dirt

The elephant was giving itself a mud bath. It was suck the muddy water into it's trunk and then squirt it all over it's body
Loves the goats! Has to run around the pen and pet every single one

London's Run

Last Saturday we all participated in London's Run. It's a run for a little girl who sadly passed away from leukemia and now they have done it for 6 years to benefit other little kids with cancer. My mom ran it last year and said it was a lot of fun so we all wanted to do it this year. It was a lot of fun! We all just did the 2 mile walk/run so that we could all do it together. Afterwards they had fruit, bagels and drinks for us and we needed it after our strenuous 2 miles! haha! Then we walked around booths that they had set up and they had some random animals the kids got to pet. There was a beaver, baby fox, baby alpaca, iguana and some random animal that nobody was quite sure what the heck it was. We had a really good time and I am super bummed because this was the last year that they are putting it on. I wish they could keep doing it because it's an awesome benefit and since our grandpa and nana both passed away from leukemia we wanted to go in honor of them and make it a tradition but I guess now we will have to find another one for everybody to do.

They got to sit in a police helicopter
Afterwards the helicopter was taking off so we stood back and watched, they were super excited! They loved the helicopter, although in this pic they all looked a little spaced out waiting for it to take off, haha

Waving bye to the helicopter

P & 3

Tyrelle came up with the idea of having preschool/play dates for the kids. They love to get together and play and so we decided we will throw some learning crafts/activities into the mix. This last week we did the letter P number 3 and our shape was circles (polka dots) and our colors were purple and pink. Their attention spans aren't very long and they can't wait to just run around but we did get some fun activities in. Here are the pics of some of them.
