Happy Holidays!

Forever...I know...

We have had Parker's 5th birthday party, his 5 year check up (44 1/4 inches for 75% in height, 37 1/2 pounds for 25% in weight, and a crazy low 3.5 BMI...we are at 2% milk again for P1 and P2). For Parker's party we had a bounce house. Parker also wanted a cake that I made (never tried that before) with a night savor on it. Paige was sick for the first time in her life (well except for the 12 hour stomach bug she had at 16 months) over the weekend of Parker's party...we think it was H1N1 because 4 days later Peyton had a confirmed case of H1N1.

We also went Trick Or Treating around the neighborhood. Oh...and Peyton (as seen below) learned to howl like a wolf. Trooper taught him and it is one of the funniest things to see!

Parker and Trooper went to hunt with my dad and brother to my parent's land (or as my dad calls it his "Ranch") in early November. They went again the day before Thanksgiving as well as Thanksgiving. Parker LOVED it.

We had a great Thanksgiving. The food was good. Family time was even better. My parents and brother were here as well as Trooper's sister and niece.

Parker and Paige are in Awana and love it. They have learned so many verses and have been asking questions that would not have some up otherwise.

This week Trooper and I have 2 different Christmas parties we are looking forward to.
