Turkey Day!

Thanksgiving was great! We ate at our neighbor "Grandma" Joan's house and it was delicious. Trish and Lar Bear came down and we had so much fun! While they were hear we played ALOT...
We decorated the Christmas tree....

We went to Christmas Town at Busch Gardens....

Parker almost made it through the whole park, but not quite and although we thought about Daddy the whole time and we missed him....we were blessed that we did get to talk to and see him on Skype!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

We miss you Daddy!!

Hey Dad...we just wanted to tell you that we miss you soooo much and cannot wait until we get to see you and talk to you on Skype! Hey daddy, look at me I am almost ready to crawl! Wish you were here!
Hey you! I love you very much and think about you all the time!!

We made you a video, Parker loves to play peek a boo now and when we play he laughs like a crazy man! So we hope you enjoy and we can't wait to talk to you! Miss you and love you!

Sunglasses!

Today was a beautiful day here is Virginia! So Parker and I took advantage of it and spent some time at the park. We had so much fun and Parker showed off his new shades! What a stud!

Halloween!

Halloween was a success! This little Giraffe was tuckered out by the end of the evening! He went to Dave and Molly's house AND Joan's house. It was so much fun. We missed daddy a lot but we thought about him the whole time. Before Parker went to bed that night, he followed along while daddy read him a Halloween book (Jeremy recorded it before he left!)

Aunt Erin and Aunt Becca were there to help us celebrate! Doesn't Aunt Becca look excited!

Fun at Ms. Amy's house!

So as most of you know Ms. Amy is Parker's amazing babysitter! Not only does she do circle time every morning but she also plays dress up with him! She said that there happen to be a witch hat by Parker so she plopped it on his head for a quick pic and when she turned around Dylan and Logan had grabbed all the hats in the house for him to model!! This is what happened....

Grandma. Grandpa and Aunt Darian!

Waaaayyyyy back in September, Parker got a visit from his Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Darian. They came to Virginia for about 6 days. We all had so much fun and Grandma and Grandpa could not believe how big Parker had gotten!! He also was so happy to see his Aunt Darian! She was a huge help while she was here and Parker misses her very much!
While they were here we all went to the Outter Banks in the coach and Grandpa gave Parker his first driving lesson! What a big boy! Parker even learned how to honk the horn.

We had a very good time with our family and we cannot wait until they visit again!

Grammy and Papa's visit.....

At the begining of September, Grammy and PaPa came to visit us! We had so much fun...we did lots of things while they were here....we went to Babies R Us and tried on hats...and got Parkers Halloween costume!

We went to daddy's Marine Corp Security Force Regiment Evening Parade...it rained but we still had a great time!

Parker was all smiles there and he loved the band....maybe he will be a band geek like his mother was!

Also while they were here, WVU kicked off their football season. It was Parker's first football game and tailgate experience...

Him and PaPa were enjoying the first few minutes of the game....

It was all too overwhelming for the boy! When he finally woke up we were able to get a family photo with all of us (except Carter) in our WVU gear!

Grammy and Parker in their WVU gear!

Rolling over and over and over!

This is the last week in August when Parker first started to roll over from his tummy to his back!

This is just 3 or 4 weeks later...now he rolls from his front to his back and his back to his front. He is growing up so fast!

MISSOURI!

Well in August, yes I know it has been forever since I have updated this thing! BUT in August, Parker and I went to Missouri to visit family! He did great on the plane but man was he hungry when he got to good ol' St. Louis! While in MO Parker went to meet the ladies at NaNa's work! He had a great time and was a total show off!

Also while we were there we went to see PaPa Raughn's side of the family too! He loved all of his crazy aunt's and his cousin's Nola and Gage!

Parker spent a lot of time with his Na Na and he loved every minute of it!

Parker spent time at his Aunt Judy's house too and loves to help her in the kitchen! But all good things must come to an end and finally after a week we had to go home....but we cannot wait to go back for Christmas!
