Springtime Fun

We have been loving life now that I'm officially done with school.  There are so many fun, local, springtime events, and we are taking advantage of as many of them as we can.  We went strawberry picking today.  Parker and I will surely have tummy aches after all of the fresh strawberries we consumed.  So delicious!

 

We bought Parker a "bug house" from the Dollar Tree.  Best $1 purchase ever!  This boy is bug crazy.  He loves catching roly polies, worms, and ants. 

We attended quite a few festivals and events lately.

I'm thrilled that he enjoys amusement rides

 

Himal's mom came to visit, and we went to a neat Touch-A-Truck event.

We had a fabulous Easter with my family and went to Six Flags afterwards.  Parker had a blast and talks about Six Flags almost every day.

First catch!  And he is obsessed with his bug boots and jumping in "muddy puddles"

Wheee!

Such a big boy riding by himself

Parker is still a mama's boy, and the expression I hear the most is, "I want to be with you."  He is so vocal and amazes me with his large vocabulary.  He cracks me up with the random words he knows.  He always says, "Please tell me about ______" and then I have to recount whatever activity he's asking about.  He also says, "This is the best _____ EVER!" or "_____ is my favorite _____ in the WHOLE WORLD!" I don't know where he learned those expressions, but it's hilarious.

Silly cutie-pie

It's so great to be able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather without worrying about my dissertation.

He is finally brave enough to ride the horses at the zoo

Hooray for pool season!
