Halloween begins

We had a nice Saturday together yesterday. We cleaned house (yay!) and then carved our pumpkin we got at Burt's Farm. We then took Hudson trick or treating at The West Cobb Avenue. We have gone every year since he was 1, and we love it! The stores all have tons of candy they give out. They take a complimentary picture with a fall back drop that you get to take home for free! There are craft stations set up all the way around for the kids to make things. They have face painting and balloon animals as well! It is so much fun! And we get to dress him up twice because it's usually the weekend before Halloween. Here are the pictures.

Getting ready to carve.

The masterpiece!


The picture Josh got at the picture set up at The Avenue. The picture they took turned out SO good! I love it, and I love my little sushi roll!






Our family.






Uncle Dylan, Hudson, & Anna. We had so much fun!

What a week-end!

Disney on Ice on Thursday with Daddy, Uncle Jerrod, & Maddox!

Mickey & Minnie!

My two most favorites waiting on the parade at the Apple Festival in Ellijay.

Our drive up to North Georgia to go camping! God made such beautiful places!

My two guys found this to cut up for our fire!

Our campsite all set up.

Hudson & Zoe in our tent.

All of us in our tent. Not long after this we realized it was too cold, too rainy, and I was too pregnant to rough it! We decided to "rough" it at Grandmama's house!

Burt's Farm 2009

See pictures in this post to see Hudson each year at Burts Farm: 2008 & 2007. The video is from 2008 and the pictures below it are from 2007.

North Georgia State Fair

We got up this morning and took Hudson to the fair. They had free admission and free rides from 10 AM-11 AM. Then from 11 AM- 2 PM it was 2 for the price of one. We had a blast! After about 3 rides, Hudson and I ran into his "girlfriend" from school. She is a DOLL!!!! Her family is super nice, and we all traveled together from ride to ride after running into each other. It felt like we were chaperoning a date...they just kept running from ride to ride. It was so cute!

This is the point in time we ran into his friend. Isn't she precious?

Look at her face! This was her face on most of the rides! :-)

Sneak peek

My mom and I worked today and made Hudson's halloween costume. It took us 9 hours, but I think it turned out good. I can't wait to take him to all the Halloween events. I will post more pictures later...like after Halloween...but I couldn't wait to post this one. I sure don't mind if you copy us, but wait until next year please. :-) ha ha

My little California roll.

Flood 2009

This is the back of our neighborhood. It was flooded from a local creek.

Our house was not under water, but the houses in the back had to be evacuated. I just wanted y'all to see some pictures of what I'd been describing to you. :-)

Lunch Prayer

This is the prayer they sing at Hudson's school before lunch everyday. He sang this the other night at dinner for us, and I almost started laughing. I wanted to remember forever that he sang it this way! I rarely have my camera at the dinner table, so I got him to sing it for me tonight while he was taking his bath. :-)

It melts my heart to hear my little boy pray!

It's a......

BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
