Aledo Birthday

We went on a very quick road trip to Aledo this weekend to celebrate Parker's birthday with Tyson's grandparents and aunts/uncles/cousins since they weren't able to be here on the day of his party.  Once again, it was a GREAT trip and we had a blast playing with all of the family at PawPaw and Gigi's beautiful home!

 The first visitors were Mimi and Aukey B and they came with entirely too many gifts for P!  They certainly knew his favorite thing though, and brought him a purple ball that he immediately fell in love with!

 Parker was a little shy at first, but then very curious about Mimi...and her wheelchair!

 He had fun playing ball with her!  I think she liked it too! :)

 Thomas made the trip with us to Aledo...Parker loves playing on that train!

Time for presents!  Parker was a little more interested in the paper than what was inside!

 After his nap it was snack time and Mimi kept him company while he ate.

 Too cute!

For dinner that night we went to one of PawPaw and Gigi's favorite Italian places...PawPaw told them we were celebrating Parker's birthday and they came and brought him his very own cheesecake!  Once again, he LOVED the birthday singing!

After a long day traveling, playing and eating cheesecake, this little boy was pooped!  He snuggled up with his Uncle Colby to watch Sesame Street before bed.  SO sweet.

Nanny had another urinary tract infection and hasn't been feeling well, so they admitted her to the hospital.  We went and surprised her there on Saturday morning...she was slightly confused, but absolutely loved seeing both of these boys!

 Saturday was absolutely beautiful outside, so Parker and I took a dip in the pool!

 He LOVED walking up and down the waterfall....

 ...but as you can imagine, mommy's back didn't love it quite so much!  An hour in this bent over position just isn't easy on this almost-30-year-old!

 He kept trying to "catch" the fountain!

We all got ready for a fun Cinco de Mayo birthday celebration with the Dennis and Corbell families!  Love this baby sombrero!

Like father, like son...

It's not a birthday party without cake!  This one was created as a 3-way effort between Gigi, Tyson and me....it turned out pretty cute!  And he definitely liked how it tasted!

This was just as he was taking the cake and dumping it off the plate...

After a GREAT weekend, this one year old baby boy was exhausted!
