Santa's Lap!!!

Sitting on Santa's lap was so much fun and

you'll see what I mean by the story this picture tells!

Breakfast with Santa was so much fun this year. My kids were super pumped about it as you can see and well the others were REALLY digging the candy cane and poor Kate she was having nothing to do with jolly old St. Nick!

Breakfast with Santa has become a tradition of ours & the Airhart's. So much of a tradition that Braxton had thought this picture out in his smart head of his long before it ever took place. Brax specifically said that he was going to sit on Santa's lap with Hudson , Hayes and Kate to have their picture made together as a family. It was adorable! He was playing one day and that came out of his mouth and it will now be forever ingrained in my head. They are our family and for him to know that and want that at the early age of three is well, just awesome to me!

Hudson see, to be big fan of the white beard as well. It's not shown in this picture but at one time good ole St. Nick about lost his beard to jolly lil Hudson!

Braxton & Santa what a cute pair!

Fall Fun!!!!

What better than to play in a huge pile of leaves????

To witness it & see it through your child's eyes is the only thing I can I think of!!!

This past Saturday was truly awesome to say the least!

Jeremy & Brax literally played outside all day & loved every minute of it!!!

They raked leaves then jumped in them then raked some more and

then jumped in them again & again!!!

Look closely at the gray toboggan in the leaves, yes it's Braxton!

I was able to witness the fun that these two had all day long! As you can see by all the smiles in the pictures they had a "ton of fun!" I have to admit that I smiled & laughed more than I have in a while just standing at the window watching the two of them.

One can only imagine the conversation that was taking place!

Jeremy coming up from being covered with leaves by Brax!

Hudson was able to join in on the fun a little late in the day!

He really likes leaves to, so much that he tends to eat them....A LOT!!!

He's so not scary!!!!

Hudson isn't quite sure if he likes the leaves or not

judging by the look on his face!

They didn't want this day to end so they covered themselves in a huge leaf pile!!!!

Hudson is 6 months

Hudson is growing so fast it's hard to believe that

a half of a year has come & gone!

Our little guys is quite the act....

Hudson is honestly the best baby I know and I am in no way bias either!

Hudson has accomplished sitting up by himself and rolling all over the place. He loves to eat solid foods with Avocado being his favorite! I am guessing he weighs between 18 & 19 lbs and is 26 inches tall. We go for his check up next week so I will update the stats then. Hudson's personality is.... well he's a ham to say the least! Always smiling and cooing and might I add he's a snuggler too! It's sooooo GREAT!!!!

Over the past six months we as a family have grown closer because of Hudson!

Jer & I have have witnessed many firsts with our boys as well as a love that only brothers know & have! Hudson loves his big brother Braxton and Braxton loves Hudson. I can not think of a morning that has went by without hearing "hey buddy, I love you" come out of Braxton's mouth. Hudson LOVES to watch every move B makes! It soothes my heart as a mom to know that my kids love each other so much!

Thank you God for Happy Healthy Boys & more so thank you for the love we share for each other as a family! We are truly blessed!

Art in the park as well as art in the backyard!!!

I have a new hobby!!!

Painting!!!!!

On of my friends, Anna, introduced me to Canvas by U which is totally fun as well as addicting!

Anna, Kim, & I went to Atlantic Station for "Art in the Park" to paint these festive pumpkins!

So much fun & surprisingly easy! One of the coolest things about this is that you really do not need to to know how to paint (or be that crafty) yet your picture turns out pretty good, except for my vines that look like witches hair. That's our joke about my pumpkins & their vines!!

Kim, Anna, & me

See how all the painting are very similar yet completely different?

Can you see the witches hair?!?!!

Here's what I came home to....

Brax & daddy painting. B had to paint something because he new that I was!

He choose to paint the stairs that he & Jer built for the trampoline, blue.

Too sweet!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Here are the cutest

Batman & Robin EVER!!!!!

This year we along with a few others from our small group went to our friends house, The Airhart's to trick-er-treat. We had a fabulous time watching all the kids run around in their costumes and seeing them participate in the candy filled celebration!

Our two masked boys!!!!

Our other child, Hayes, decided he wanted to have his picture made with us.

He is by far the cutest "Woody" ever!

Tinker Bell, Batman, Robin, Woody, & the Skunk!

Owning the night!!!

Trick-er-Treat!!!

B and his friends trick-er-treating!!!

Who says moms can't have fun!!!

Hudson hanging with Kim & I!!!!

Kim & Kate

or what you could call them,

DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!!!

Thrilling Three's Carnival!

This year at Braxton's school all the three year old classes participated in

a carnival put on by the teachers & parent volunteers!

Of course i was one of the volunteers & I am so glad that I was able to to do this. The kids were adorable and I got to witness Brax & all his friends have lots of fun!

There were seven different stations set up around the gym and all of the kids were able to do crafts and play games with the parent volunteers at each station!

Brax was so proud of his pumpkin that he picked from the pretend pumpkin patch. After picking the pumpkins the kids were able to decorate them any & every way they wanted!

These kids have an imagination!

Braxton's class listening to directions and anxiously waiting to decorate their pumpkin

This is Kaitlyn one of Braxton's friends.

I was told by his teachers that they are very fond of each other!

Not sure what hes thinking here but it looks like it has to be good!

Spookie spider cookies! I worked this table and had lots of fun with all the kids!

Ella is one of B's friends form our old n'hood. They love to hang out together!

Just look at the concentration.

This station was hard for the kids because it involved oreos skittles liquorish.....

They all wanted to eat the cookies and candy..... well some actually did!

Remember the cake walk?

Now it's a pumpkin walk.... How times change!!!!

The kids made spider webs by using a marble to paint with.

Get the idea?

Paint the marble & roll around in a box, it turned out really cute!

Spooky things painted on faces!

I am so glad I didn't get to share my lack of artistic abilities!

Story time.....

The carnival was a great idea and lots of fun! Brax along with myself and all of his friends seem to to really enjoy themselves! We are so thankful for a great school!

2011 Fall Parade

Dunnananaannaaaa...

BATMAN!!!!!

Who is this Batman guy?

Creeekside had their annual fall and yet again it was so stinking cute!

All of the children come to school dressed in their costumes and march form the front of the school to the back and all the parents crowd around the sidewalk admiring them.

This year Brax is Batman and he LOVES being Batman.

He had to be the cutest kid in the parade, of course I am bias but we are supposed to be. When Braxton came out of the front doors he had his chest poked out with his hands on his hips, SO FUNNY!! Jer & I cracked up! we have no idea who told him to do this but whoever it was they did a great job!

You like the hands on the hips with the muscles bulging?

Mrs. Kathie, one of Braxton's teacher.
