Parker 1st Halloween Parade!

Parker went to Centralia's annual Halloween parade on Saturday night and had a ball. She liked the floats but her favorite is the marching bads so she is going to love Greenwood's Christmas Marching Bank parade. Bennett enjoyed the festivities too!

The weekend before Halloween Parker, Bennett and I took a road trip to Centralia for the Halloween parade. The drive went smoothly and we had a wonderful time visiting and playing around with the kittens as you will see below.

Papa and Parker - he was teaching her to just pet the kittens and not pick them up. It worked at the time until we went inside.

Saturday night before the Baptism we all went to wonderful restaurant on the water and had a great time. After taking this picture of Bennett he as awake the rest of the evening so he didn't miss out on anything.

We found out that Parker loves to dance to karaoake! My face hurt from laughing and smiling so much. All the other restaurant goers loved her too!

While we were in Chattanooga we decided that Parker needed a haircut. She didn't mind until they began to cut her bangs and the hair fell in her face. She her new "do" below.

Parker and Coco ready for Taylor's BaptismWhat do you think of my new haircut?
Parker had so much fun she barely made it out of the subdivision... and was already asleep when we hit the interstate!

A few weeks ago we all headed up to Chattanooga for Parker and Bennett's cousin Taylor's Baptism. Below is a picture of my brother Michael, his wife Crissie and their son Taylor who was born in April. We had a wonderful time visiting with our family and Crissie's family.

Below is a picture of Papa Jack and Coco with their three grandchildren. They are looking forward to #4 - Crosby, Jr. who will be joining us in December.

Finally, Coco got a moment to hold and feed Bennett his bottle.

Bennett's first smile!
He couldn't figure out why we were so excited
Here we go again....what an adorable smile!
Clif's mini-me...pretty scary don't you think!

More pictures coming soon of our growing boy, our trip to Chattanooga for Taylor's Baptism, and Parker's trip to Atlanta. And if that wasn't enough, Parker will be going to Centralia to visit Coco and Papa Jack and to be in Centralia's Annual Halloween parade! I hope y'all are as excited as we are!

While Parker was in Atlanta she went to a Pumpkin Patch!

Parker in Atlanta

Parker went to Atlanta this past weekend with Grandpa Eddie to meet YaYa. She had a great time and did some fun things.

First she took her picture with Santa Bear at the Build-a-Bear store
Next she watched as she selected her new toy to be stuffed
Here she used a foot pump to pump the stuffing into her new toy
Then she watched as her new toy was washed and fluffed to get ready to go home with her
And here Parker is with her new Build-a-Cat...Yazoo! Go figure she didn't want a bear at the Build-a-Bear store!
