I can't believe my big boy is 3! (or almost...his REAL birthday is Sunday)Parker had lots of fun today at his John Deere tractor party! Parker absolutely LOVES tractors so we thought it was fitting to have a party with a tractor theme this year!
This is a crazy time of year to have a birthday. Parker's actual due date was Christmas day but the doctor and I both agreed that neither one of us really wanted to be in the hospital on that day so THANKFULLY Parker came on December 16, 2004!
I love throwing parties for my boys and I feel bad because Parker's birthday has always been kind of over looked over because of the holiday season. Not this year though! We had 6 little friends come over and we made some cute little barn and animal crafts, played some games and ate some tractor cake. We had lots of fun!
3 funny things about Parker:
1. He loves FUZZ. He picks at his blanket at rolls the fuzz into these balls that I find ALL OVER MY HOUSE. I find the majority of these fuzz balls in his room after a nap or in the morning after he wakes up. I think he rolls these balls while he sleeps. Drives me nuts!
2. I don't think he has ever liked being 2 years old. (Just because he wants to be like Dallin ALL the time.) When people ask how old he is he will always say "I am 5." He won't even say the words "Me too" becuase he thinks it means "Me two." So if someone says...."I want to go outside"....Parker will say...."Me five." Meaning....."me too." Hopefully that made sense!
3. We've been trying to teach Parker that we don't say the Lord's name in vain. For awhile he was using it in an inappropriate way. We told him to say "O my goodness" instead. He made up his own replacement word though. He always says..."O (pause) MY (pause) WOW!" Its soo cute. 
Happy Birthday my middle child! I LOVE YOU!

Wow! You do love throwing birthday parties! That was all incredible! I love it that my second girl Caroline shares so many of those same characteristics- she says "I'm 5" too, just so she can one up her big sis, who is still 4!
YEAH!! we had a blast today. the boys have taken their goodybags everywhere! your pictures turned out great!
You are amazing!
wow so fun. everything looks awesome!! Did you make that cake? I wish I had an ounce of your talent sometimes.
Yeah..I did make the cake. A friend of mine just so happend to have that tractor cake pan...it was perfect!
Staci- Shannon Hale wrote "Goose Girl" right? It's on my reading list. Natalie Hansen loved her books! I usually don't read alot of YA fiction, but it seems like lately there are so many good ones out there! (I have to finish "Middlemarch" before I get to read something silly again!)
Happy birthday Parker! I can't believe he's three already. What a fun party!
You are Wonder Woman. That party is so cute. I love the John Deere cake. I may attempt a tractor cake some day. I bought a mold at Walley world. I decorated a Spiderman cake for Dallin's 4th birthday and that was way fun.
I remember when he was born! Where does the time fly? I LOVE the little facts about Parker! And totally understand what you mean when he says, "me five!" What a cutie.
