In the Spirit of Christmas

Colson decided to put on a little concert for us tonight. As a gift to you, we thought we should share with you! Enjoy!!

Jingle Bells...


"Mr. Turkey", he just threw in an extra song for your listening pleasure!


A collaberation, we like to call, "Jingle Rudolph"...


"Figgy Pudding"


Silly "Jingle Bells"


Colson would like to tell you that he offers private concerts, for a small fee of course!

My favorite!... so far!

Check out my new blog layout! This is my favorite layout, by far! I told Jen, at Jen Gets Fancy, that I may leave this one up a little bit after Christmas! The colors and polka dots and sparkles are super cute!!! Thanks Jen!

Who needs a new Computer??? Anyone?

A Picture Post

Here are just a few pictures from the past few days. Not a whole lot has gone on around here besides Thanksgiving, which was pretty low key. We didn't do a whole lot because my mom just got out of the hospital from her hip replacement (on Wednesday), so we just played it simple so she could enjoy being home.

Here are some pictures of the boys and Jeremiah's dad, aka Papa Joe. They came over Tuesday night for Thanksgiving at our house. We had a good time and the kids love playing together!

(notice all the slobber on Papa's shirt, that was a special present from Huddy)



This was how Colson felt Thursday night after being out of school a couple days with no afternoon naps.


Nothing like a little daddy time...


Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We all have a lot to be thankful for!

Papaw and Huddy

While Jeremiah and I were out of town a few weekends ago, my parents kept the boys for us. When we got home, Hudson had a new outfit to add to the closet!

I think the outfit says it all, but here is some proof!


Here are just a few cute pictures my mom took before church on Sunday...

Howl-O-Ween 2009

This post is a little late, but my camera was left at home, so I had to borrow these from my mom.

Colson wanted to be a werewolf for Halloween, and all we could find was this... a "green-belly wolf". I have no idea where he got this idea, but that's the only thing he wanted. We spent several nights looking at costume websites, and this is all he would agree on!

Most of you would think by the looks of this picture, that he was going to kiss my cheek, but...

This is what I got. Here's the story, my sister and my mother thought it would be "funny" and a "good picture" if it acted like he was eating my face, well, Colson didn't realize he could bite through that mask, but LET ME TELL YOU, he did! It hurt so bad, and left a beautiful bruise! Poor Colson, he felt so bad for hurting me! He told me that the "green belly wolf" better not EVER bite his mommy again!


As for Hudson, I was going to let him wear the costume that Colson wore his very first Halloween, but I found this little horse costume at Cracker Barrel. We had to get it!


I was not able to get very many pictures of the boys on Halloween because of the death in my family. We had visitation at the funeral home that night, so things were a little hectic around here. So I'm not neglecting the kids Halloween, I just wanted to enjoy the rest of the night taking my werewolf trick-or-treating! Huddy stayed and helped his Nana hand out candy! and sleep.

Mommy is NOT a photographer

I am not claiming to be any good at taking pictures, but I realized tonight that I have no nakee pictures of my little Hudson. Part of this is my fault, but another reason is that I cannot get a call back from a real photographer. I think part of this is because it prime holiday season and they are super busy, but my baby is getting big and there comes a certain time that nakee pictures are a little creepy. So here is my home-made photo shoot. Enjoy!!

Whimsy Tin and Ella Ba Della

Take a look at this bucket from my friend Jaime over at Whimsy Tin. She does such a good job on the boys buckets! This is Hudson's Halloween bucket we got. He told me he "really wanted the one with the owls on it" and it turned out so cute! Jaime, I told you he would like it, he didn't want to let go of it!

Also, Take a look at Hudson's shirt! Is it not sooo cute! Lindsay over at Ella Ba Della's creates custom appliques and then you can add them to anything! I bought 5 appliques and I am fixing to order another few. Also, look at the outfit Hudson has on in the post below. The tractor is also from her! We have the guitar, rudolph, turkey, tractor, and the bat onesies! Up next is Christmas appliques! Be sure to check out her blog or her etsy store.

Hudson is 3 months old!

Well, little Hudson is growing so fast! Its amazes me at how much he has changed in the past month. I love to see him grow but it breaks my heart because I remember that Colson was once this size, and now is such a big boy.



Hudson's Tidbits:
--Wears size 1 diapers still
--He is wearing all his 3-6 month clothes
--Loves wearing shoes. We have quite a few pair!
--Goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up around 7:30 or 8 the next morning, and is usually STARVING!
--Has 1 cereal bottle a day, usually in the morning.
--Takes 6oz of formula every 3 to 3.5 hours
--We still have to take our Prevacid. It really helps the reflux!
--Smiles ALL the time and even giggles.
--Has figured out he can make noise and is a talker, just like Brother.
--No longer wants a passy, we love our thumb! Its precious watching him find that thumb. Yes, he went from loving it, to not ever wanting it in a matter of a month.
--We have said "bye bye" to the witching hour! Thank You Lord!

Hudson,
You have no idea how much your mommy and daddy love you! You bring such joy to our lives. I love how you are already in love with your big brother. You always smile when he gets in trouble, so this makes me a little nervous for when you and him start playing together. You also love to talk to Brother. We thank God everyday for our 2 healthy little boys! We love you so much!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch with Colson' s Preschool yesterday. After re-scheduling the trip 2 different times, the weather finally cooperated with us and the day turned out beautiful!

The first thing we did was a Hay Ride, Colson really enjoyed it. He liked looking at all the little Christmas Trees and the hay bales made into spiders.

Then off to the Pig Races. At the pig race, all the kids got to enjoy Pretzels and "Pumpkin" Juice. Here is Braden with his snack.


If I have learned anything about a 4-year old, it is that, it is so hard to get a picutre of him smiling, or looking at the camera, or with open eyes. That's why I have hardly any decent pictures of him while we were there.

Colson and his buddy Reid. (They posed like that on their own)


Colson and the pumpkin he picked out.


On the bucking horse swing (as Colson called it).


And, the last somewhat decent picture of the day.

Poor Hudson didn't get to go because I was worried about him getting cold, so he stayed at home with Jeremiah. Sorry Hudson.
