How creative!





Every year Wyatt and I talk about throwing a Halloween Party but never get around to it. This year was the year we decided to really go for it. And let me tell you it was such a blast! We had a couples costume party. It was so much fun seeing all of the creative costumes everyone came up with. At the party we had yummy soups, tons of desserts, played family feud, bobbed for apples, chatted, voted for best costume (Way to go Octomom!) and sang some karaoke. Thanks so much to Sachia, Kristie, Lauren and Laura for all your help with everything. I could not have done any of this with out you.

Pumpkin Patch

Since Wyatt is mostly done with midterms we decided it would be a good night to take the boys to the little pumpkin patch down the street from our house. The boys loved it and are now looking forward to carving their pumpkins. Crew said, "Mom I want to cook my pumpkin." So I told him we can make a yummy Pumpkin Pie! Oh.. we love the FALL!

Let them be Little...

Tonight I was just organizing all my photos and came across this sweet, sweet, little innocent video of my CrewBug that was taken while we lived out in St. Louis two summers ago. Oh how time flies. We Love You Crew...Thanks for teaching me {PATIENCE}

Sippy Cups??

I am going crazy with milk and juice always being spilled out of my boys "leak proof" sippy cups. Does anyone know of a sippy cup (I don't care how much) that doesn't leak at all? Please let me in on your expertise so I can be a much happier mommy. Thanks for the advice!!

Happy 1st Birthday Hudson!

We threw Hudson his 1st little Birthday party with my family on Sunday night while we were down staying at my parents Beach House. Hudson LOVED all the cake and cookies we let him eat and then enjoyed playing with all his cousins and his new toys. Thanks for all his presents. He loves everything!











Then today..on his actual Birthday I woke up and made the boys pancakes and Hudson got a special "1" pancake with Jell-o syrup. He loved it! A little bit later our friends came over and we played, ate lunch and had fabulous dots cupcakes!







HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY little Hud! We love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our family. Here are some things about you right now:
You weigh 26 lbs. (only 3 lbs. less than your BIG brother)
You WALK everywhere and think you are so BIG.
You say: Mama, Dada, Baba (bottle), nigh night.
You wave hello and goodbye.
You throw little tantrums already if you don't get what you want or if I take something away you aren't suppose to have.
You are OBSESSED with your daddy and Papa Rick.
You LOVE your brother so much.
You LOVE to clap your hands.
You LOVE reading books with mommy.
You LOVE eating anything and everything (even stuff that isn't food)
You LOVE playing out in the yard and try every way to make your way out there even if it means falling through the screen door.
You LOVE to dance and have really good rhythm. You LOVE music.
You HATE church...you would rather be in nursery playing or roaming the halls.
WE LOVE OUR LITTE HUD. Please stay little and innocent for a very long time. Happy Birthday big boy.

WORST night of my life...

This little Boy had {someone special} watching over him tonight...

We just were about to order food here until we realized it was CASH ONLY:

So Wyatt ran across the street to get some cash out of this:

And for that 1 second that mommy wasn't watching, Crew decides to go and get his Daddy and crosses this all by himself...(while Cars literally slam on their breaks and honk at him to get out of the way)

Crew is now (whether he likes it or not) the proud owner of this:

I am still so sick about what happened tonight and am so thankful that nothing happened to my little Crewbug. It's so crazy to see just how quick our lives could have been changed forever...I feel like the WORST Mom for not watching him better (even though I just saw him sitting at the table right by me). Please don't judge me for this, I just had to document this because my blog is our family's little journal. We LOVE you Crew and just wish you would listen to your mommy and daddy a little bit better. I promise we tell you these things only because we love you.

Pops & {Crew the Builder}

My Dad came up to our house to build some shelves in our garage a couple weeks ago. Crew was so excited that Papa brought all of his tools so he could help him build. Well the whole entire day Crew was out in the garage in 100 degree weather right along my dads side helping him with everything. It was the cutest thing...he looks up to his "Pops" as he calls him, so much. I know my dad had a blast with him helping. My Dad would measure something and say, "36 inches" and then you would hear Crew say, "36 inches." Thanks again Dad for all your help with everything. I LOVE my new shelves! I feel so organized. And sorry about your tool box being destroyed...
