Party Time


 Parker's party was a blast. We had the party at my grandma's house in her backyard. She has a great backyard that is big and lots of grass. Perfect for track ball, wiffle ball, water balloon throwing contest, water fights and the slip n' slide. :) Of course I didn't take as many pictures as I wish I would have- and I didn't get any of the fun balloons or yummy food- but that's ok. There's always next year! :)
 Parker couldn't decide which was better, the slip n' slide, or the device that just shoots water straight into your face?!

 The pinata was a lot of fun. Can you believe I got this at consignment shop for $1?! It was definitely a big hit with the older kids- and Parker even got to take the first swing!

 The adults' cake was a butter yellow cake with home made chocolate frosting- it was good, but honestly, I ate my cake so fast worrying about the next "activity" that I don't remember what it tasted like. I need to work on that!

Parker wasn't sure what to do with his cake...

 The kids enjoying the slip n' slide- I love the one of Mack below just struttin his stuff while Logan comes running in.

 and.. back to the cake...

 I love this shot with Parker and his giant cake and Mack sucking a lollipop. It was a sugar-filled afternoon for these boys.


 He ended up being done with it after a few nibbles. Strange for my child to not eat the whole thing.

Great-grandma and Parker chattin it up

Grandma & Grandpa B
 Cousins (... minus the other 24)
 Grandma & Grandpa C and uncle Travis

Present Time! Parker loved opening his gifts. He didn't understand why he couldn't play with his gifts though, and why I kept making him put down his gifts to open the next one. 
Great Grandma gave him an A's jersey. Now he has a Giants one and an A's one! Which to wear?! :)
 he really loved the cards the most



 I love this picture of Mack

Can't wait to for his 2 birthday party!! :)
