Birthday Bash

It is so crazy that 1 year has already gone by! We had such an amazing time at Parker's 1st birthday party on Saturday. It was so nice of our friends and family to come, especially due to the distance many people travelled.

Parker's favorite things were definitely the balloons and the cake. He ate half of his smash cake, and would have kept going if his mean mommy didn't take it away.

He loved playing with all of his friends and cousins, and is very grateful for the generous gifts he received.

Family Vacation

Last week, we went on our first family vacation to Branson, MO. On the way down, we stopped at the St. Louis zoo. Parker loved the monkeys and the penguins.

In Branson, we spent a few days with Jon's sisters and their families. Parker loved meeting his cousins and he had a blast at the water park and Silver Dollar City.

On the way back home, we stopped back in St. Louis and went to the City Museum and World Aquarium. It took all our strength to keep Parker from jumping into the tanks to play with the turtles and swim with the fishes!
