Halloween at Preschool!

Hudson got to be in the school parade and go trick-or-treating twice this week! This doesn't really help the fact that he already thinks he runs the church, but whatever, it's fun for us! His class hopped in their bye-bye buggy and rode in style! I should have taken a picture of all 20 spiders that Grandma Barbara handed him...special treatment?? Umm, yes. After the parade, we went back to his class for a little Halloween cookie time! Look how cute he is in that teeny tiny chair!! And he even threw his trash away when he was finished! Our little pumpkin is growing up! On Friday he got to wear part of daddy's CREEPY Willie Wonka costume. Seriously, it was creepy, in not a good creepy way. I DID NOT take a picture.

Well, tonight is the big night. Will he wear his costume? Who knows! But I'm sure there will be candy! Ellie just jumped! :)

Showering Lydia!

I had the honor of helping to host a baby shower for my friend Lydia and her soon to be son, Bobby this past weekend! It was such a fun time...look how adorable the cake was!! Lydia and I are part of a group of friends from college who humbly call ourselves The Fab Five! As you can see, we were one short this past weekend...we missed you Julie! We all had boys first, so Ellie is the first girl to join the group! I love these girls and was so happy to have a mini-reunion and shower Lydia!

**Our trip to the Sweet Berry Farms pumpkin patch was cancelled on Monday due to rain, but I'm hoping we will reschedule! Fun things coming this week!

They call me a fireman...

that's my name! Who loves George Strait?!



The Austin Fire Dept. came to our school last week and well, let's just say that there were all of three children from Hudson's toddler class that were willing to participate...can you guess one of them?? He was ALL about the fire truck (big truck) and its equipment.

One of the benefits of Hudson being at the same school/church as Dusty and I is that we get to sneak in and see him doing all the fun school stuff! We went out to watch him and he would stand right at the edge of the truck and say "Dada! Dada!" like he was trying to say "Daddy! Look at me!" We love getting to watch him learn and grow! We are attempting to be Elmo for Halloween, but maybe we should have gone with a fireman costume instead!!

Fall is here!

Even though the weather is not cooperating, we know that fall is here because the pumpkins have arrived at the Methodist church down from our house!! We went this afternoon for Hudson to "pick out" a pumpkin and take a few pictures. We made it about two minutes and then he saw the church playscape and could not think of anything else. :) We did get our pumpkins and a few smiles/dance moves when daddy sang a song. We didn't tarry long at the pumpkin patch! We are making a trip to an actual pumpkin patch with our MOPS friends in a couple of weeks, hope we can make it longer than two minutes there!!

I know it has been a while since my last blog, but all I can tell you is life has happened in the last couple of weeks. Hudson is recovering from a fever virus and mommy is trying not to catch it! I'll try to be a better blogger!

Ellie Belly!

Here she is at 21 weeks!

Walking for Krista!

We headed to Gainesville this past weekend for the 2nd Annual Krista's Hustle! The walk helps raise money for her scholarship fund. It's hard to believe it has been a year, but I am so proud of her family for how they give back to others.

Hudson rode in his stroller the whole way, so he was ready to get out and be on the loose! Can't wait to walk again next year!

Preschool Dad's Night

Tonight was Dad's Night at our preschool. It was cowboy themed, so of course, there were pony rides! Hudson was in heaven! Have I mentioned that he LOVES animals? But I could not (as usual) get a good picture. He was laughing the whole ride, but I just couldn't capture it! Oh well, it was a fun night!
