Oh! What a Month!

It's been such a busy past 30 days... We've crammed six months worth of fun into one!  It started with a trip to Colorado in early October.  Mommy braved a flight alone with the two boys, and luckily, it was a smooth trip both going and coming.  We had a great time with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt G full of playtime, birthday celebrations and a trip to the pumpkin patch.  After spending a few days in the mountains, it was time to head to the city and see all of our Parker friends.  TJ was so happy to be reunited with Jack, and we even got to have a sleepover at Asher's house.  TJ was such an awesome boy on the plane, they let him go in the cockpit on our way out.

The weekend after we returned from Colorado, we went to Half Moon Bay's Lemos Farms to ride the train and play in the bounce house.  It was a beautiful day, but the boys were a bit worn out, so we didn't stay too long.

We rounded out the end of the month with a birthday party, Disney on Ice and two Halloween parties.  The boys had a great time at the show, and they both partied it up at gymnastics and TJ's school.  The kids sang songs for their parents before eating pizza and jumping in the bounce house.  It was so fun!

The Monday before Halloween, we stopped by a local pumpkin patch to get our family pumpkins.  Of course, there was a bounce house, and of course, TJ had a blast in it!

Baby Frankie had a wonderful first Halloween.  We all went trick-or-treating with the neighbors to a nearby neighborhood where all the houses are decorated and the homeowners are dressed up.  Some were a little scary, but not for TJ -- he loved every minute of it!

The boys have been busy between gymnastics, basketball and now swimming lessons!  TJ & Frankie take a class together as more of a "get used to water" class.  Both boys are loving it, and they're nice and tired when we get done! :)

In the past month, Baby Frankie has gotten his first tooth, mastered sitting up without support and started army crawling all over the house!  He's already in his 12 month clothes... so we're hoping we can all keep up with his growth!

TJ is having a great time at gymnastics still.  This past week, he started learning how to do cartwheels.  He's also getting good at dribbling and passing at basketball.  This weekend, TJ's basketball "team" gets to do their drills at halftime at USF's game.  He's so excited.  Of course, pictures will follow!
