Happy 3rd Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Lawson!!!   The past 3 years have flown by!  We blinked and you turned into a little man!!!  We love you more than you will ever know!! 

End of An Era.....

Last night we decided to take Lawson's paci away.  He only took it at naptime and nighttime.  But I wanted him to be done with it before he was 3 so I figured no time like the present (since he will be 3 on Monday).  He asked for it....or begged for it.  We didn't give in.  He cried for 30 minutes until he tired out.  He did great during naptime today.  He still asked for it but no crying was involved.  It made me a little sad because that was the last "baby" thing he still had.  He is completely potty trained and now paci free!  I'm so proud of him!!

I'm Going To Be An Aunt!!!

My baby sister is having a baby!!  It's hard to believe because I still sometimes see her as the lanky little girl that pestered me!  She found out she is having a BOY!  We are super excited since Hudson and her baby will be 10 months apart.  Partners in crime they will be.  I can't wait to hold that sweet baby!!  We can't wait to meet you, baby Barrett!!

Lawson's First Day of MDO

Awe.....I have been looking forward to this day!!  I love my big guy but boy does he have energy!!  He was so excited to go to school!  He went right into his class and started playing!  Never missed a beat with me leaving.  Because he loves it so much is why I look forward to it.  He loves to play with other kids and it has been really hard with a newborn to really take him to do the things we used to do (like the zoo and mcwane).  He is growing up so fast.  But I guess that is part of life!!  

Hudson 4 Months

On August 13th, our little Huddy Buddy turned 4 months old.  He is definitely surpassing his brother in height and weight!  He is the happiest little baby ever!!  Hardly ever cries unless he has a reason to.  He started eating baby food.  The doctor said we could bypass rice cereal since he is taking it in every bottle to help with the reflux and spitting up.  He is eating 4 bottles a day and eating breakfast and dinner.  He is a GREAT sleeper!  Sleeps from 8p-730a (sometimes later) and takes 2 naps during the day from 1 1/2-2 hours.  He is such a joy in our lives!!!  

Happy 4 months baby!!

July Beach Trip 2012

We just got back from our annual beach trip with our friends, Brian and Rachel and their kids.  We were down there for 8 days and had a great time...despite the rainy weather!  Our first full day was a little on the rainy side and overcast.  The rest of the week was pretty nice until Wednesday and it was hit or miss. We at least got some time at the beach but not near the entire day like we had all hoped for.  

Lawson had a great time swimming in the ocean and pool.  He built sand castles with his buddies.  Some of our other friends came down with their kids (their parents happened to have a place a few house down from my parents) so we enjoyed hanging out with them.  Monday night, Rachel, Sarah and I decided to have a girls night out and enjoyed a nice quiet dinner at Cobalts!  Tuesday, Mitch and Brian were supposed to go fishing but the weather was unpredictable so they decided not to go.  Rachel and I let them have the afternoon by themselves (since we had a night out) and we took the boys to see Ice Age.  

We didn't conquer to many dinners out with all 4 kids!  We did get to eat at one of our favorite places, Louisiana Lagniappe and enjoyed some fried food at Bubba's.  Thursday morning, Rachel and I took Lawson and Cole to the Hangout for the pirate breakfast!  It was a little corny but the kids seemed to like it.  The rest of the week they insisted on wearing the pirate bandana and eye patch.  Well worth the money!!  

Been awhile!!

So looking back it has been AWHILE since I blogged last!  Guess that is what happens when summer is in full swing.  

So here is a quick recap...

-We took a trip to the beach mid July with some friends.  We do it every year and this year didn't disappoint!  Four kids all under the age of 3 made for an interesting trip!  The weather was ok.  Not the best.  Rained almost every day.  It poured the last day so we took the kids bowling and after we got done the weather cleared up and turned out to be a gorgeous day!  

-Mitch and I took an adult only trip to the beach for his birthday!  We had a great time!  It was my first trip away from Hudson so I was definitely ready to come home and see my boys.  Some of our other friends were down there so we enjoyed some nice adult dinners (with no kids screaming and not at 6).  We even saw a movie and went out dancing one night!  

Hope everyone is getting back into the school groove!!!
