October and November randoms

So these have been hanging out in my phone since October. I seriously need to do a major clean out of iphone photos. I think I've met my capacity and I'm not quite sure how to save them on my computer.

Broadmoor Fall Fest with Jess and Carson. We had a big kid date and left the little sisters at home. So thankful for my BFF that has children so close to my children!

Three year old check up for Hudson and one year check up for Sissy.

 Its just easier to get them together.

Hudson was excited he didn't have to get nakey!

This was back in November when it was miserably hot...and all our summer close are fitting alittle too snug.

Papa walked from his back yard to ours...a whopping 100 yards.

Fun dinner with my old UMC co-workers. I love staying home with my babies, but I sure do miss this group of women!

Sissy went through a small phase where she didn't want to nap in her crib...but she would snooze away on me. I'll take it.

And she loves the minnie mouses.

Matching PJ days are so much fun! We have them often.

Got these proofs back from Halloween at Hudson's school. Have you seen anything cuter? I ordered three to frame. I die over bottom middle.

Sissy stayed true maroon, even when it gave her anxiety towards the end of the season!

This child. She is ROUGH! She tackles Hudson to the ground. And he just looks at me with this sad look on his face....he knows he can't push her off, but sometimes does just because she's being so crazy!

Thankful for a soft, shag wrestling mat aka living room rug.

Iphone birthday pictures

I am desperately trying to get the blog updated before the end of the year. I think I can, I think I can....

Here are some stray iphone pictures from the babies' birthday parties. Too cute not to share!

Goodness, I love these babies!

My first heart turns three
Hudson and Adda Laine at Lillian's birthday party. These two have literally grown up together and love to play!
And Sissy just loves to eat. Bottom line!

My second heart turns one!

Lillian's FIRST birthday party

The first weekend in November, we celebrated Lilllian's FIRST birthday party. Her actual birthday is October 16, but we just moved into the house like 2 weeks before that and I just couldn't get it "friends and family" ready for a party that fast. Plus I was really tired...more on that later.

 

I knew I wanted to do something sweet and dainty for her first birthday. And, of course, it had to include her signature colors: blush and bashful. I found this shop on Etsy that could do exactly what I wanted, and we ran with it. I really hope she always loves pink. I've loved it since I was little, and still do to this day.

We had a wonderful afternoon party with cake and a few other pink treats! It was a great day with family and friends. And it also helps that our huge backyard can also be used as a toddler amusement park. We had every outdoor entertainment we could find!

 

Sweet birthday Sissy

Her outside spread. Funny story about those balloons: I sent Joey to party city that morning to get some baby pink balloons. I've seen them there before, they do exist. And he comes home with 14 (I requested 15) hot pink balloons that totally didn't match. Lesson learned- don't send an apparently color blind daddy to get balloons.

But I'm trying to let the small stuff slide these days!



Her beautiful cake! The same lady that made Hudson's cake did hers.

 

Other treats included pink and white yogurt covered pretzels and pink dyed pop corn (that was fun to make)

 

The big kids loved the trampoline

The only picture I could get of Sissy and Hudson together.

Those tots are busy bodies!

 

When Bubba arrived, all was right in Lillian's world.

 

I could just die over this picture of Adda Laine and Hudson

 

Smash cake time!

She LOVED it!

 

Lillian Lindley, you are the sweetest Sissy around. Always smiling and happy, you are the perfect addition to our family. Each month with you gets better and better. And now that you are running around, you and Hudson are having the best time! Happy Happy birthday to our angel baby!



Hudson's 3rd birthday party

Way back when, at the end of September, we celebrated Hudson's THIRD birthday party! His party was the week before his actual birth-day, but he didn't know the difference. Of course, we had to do construction themed party. The boy loves trucks...dump trucks, crane trucks, excavator, skid-something, bulldozer. I could go on and on. He loves them! We had the party at the jumpy place in Madison, and everyone had a blast! Plus, I didn't have to clean up my house. Win, win! 

 

I swore I wasn't going to go all pintrest on this party, but I did at the last minute. And it turned out great! Thank the Lord for pintrest...I am just not creative enough to come up with this stuff myself!

 

Love how his cake turned out!

The candles were construction cones

 

The favors: Hard hats and Home Depot tool belts. They ended up being a hit!

 

 

 

Birthday boy and his cake!

Poppy loves his Lillian

 

But Lillian did not love the slide

 

It took Hudson a while to warm up to the big rides, but he finally did!

The week before Hudson's party, Sissy started walking. So this was one of the first times for her to wear shoes...and she finally got the hang of them.

 

Sweet boy, we love you so much! You keep us on our toes daily, and we love you for it!

You keep me humble and laughing all the time.

Happy birthday to our brother bear!
