Parker's 4th Birthday Party!!!

It was Parker's 4th birthday over the long weekend in May (sorry for the delay in getting the pictures up!). Here we are on route to his birthday party....Kellen was being super cool and laid back - here he is in his sunglasses watching his favourite episodes of Dora the Explorer.

The birthday boy! The weather was beautiful so we spent most of our time playing and hanging out outdoors. Here is Parker playing with Kellen's tools (I told you that he brings them everywhere that he goes!)

Weeeeeee!!! Kellen LOVES playing on the swings!

I think Lita loves Parker Bear!!

....and she loves Lauren, too!!

Kellen loved playing in Parker's little sandbox.....we are thinking of getting him one for the backyard this year since he always seems to gravitate toward them at parks.

Two adorable cousins enjoying some birthday lunch together.

Yummy watermelon!

....it is sooooo goooood!

Kellen and Shawn playing an intense game of Fishing (the game where you use magnetic fishing rods to pick up the fish).

Lita feeding Lauren lunch....Lauren was more interested in eating Kellen's tools!

Hello beautiful baby girl....she is so cute!

....now she is wondering why I am always taking her picture and making silly faces at her.

Here is Milo showing Parker something during present opening time.

The happy Elliott family!

Kellen and Lita enjoying their time together while watching Parker open his presents.

I know it is pretty obvious what is written here, but just in case you cannot figure it out....Kellen wrote his name!

Uncle Garrett and cousin Lauren hanging out....I don't think Lauren was overly excited about this whole present opening thing....but she sure did look cute in her little dress and tights!

Precious.

Here is Kellen being shy while trying to tell Parker something about the present that he gave to him.

Lita trying to show the boys how to play with this cool toy (you pull your two strings apart and it sends the "ball" across the cords to the other player).

....but the boys thought it would be fun to just hold the toy and run around the entire backyard with it....they were kind of playing tag/follow the leader. It was pretty fun to watch them play so well together.

.....and they are still going strong...

.....and still going....

Sisters...ahhh!

Happy Birthday, Parker! Parker had a super cool birthday cake that was shaped like Buzz Lightyear! And, it was super delicious!!!

Parker seemed to be very excited about his cake - and anxious to get blowing out those candles!

Yeah for Parker Bear!

Kellen thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of his piece of cake!
