Let's go down to the pumpkin patch...

Graham has written his first song and loves to sing about the pumpkin patch. So it was only fitting this week that he got to go and visit a real pumpkin patch with Cole and some friends.

"Baby Sitting"

While my sister was out of town, we "babysat" her two sweet little baby girl shitzus whom we playfully refer to as the cousins. :) The little girls, Daisy Bella and Lola, had so much fun with Graham and Cole. Graham is especially fond of Lola and they had a great time together. He joined her for naps in her kennel and they ran and played all day. I am not sure who was more worn out at the end of the day, Cole or Lola! :)

Happy 4th of July!

I love the 4th of July. Next to Thanksgiving, it is probably my FAVORITE holiday. I guess it is because we get to be patriotic, grill out, eat popsicles and pop fireworks all in one day...how fun is that! We had a great 4th this year. We went to Glen Eagles Country Club in Plano and grilled out with some friends and then sat out on the golf course and watched a great fireworks show. Graham loved it and Cole really didn't think much of it this year. :) Happy 4th and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Fun Weekend!

We had a really fun weekend. We met the Koubas and the Stephens at the Stephens neighborhood pool and let the kids swim. It was quite the experience...we had six kids between us and managed to keep up with everyone and even enjoy a little picnic lunch...what an accomplishment for us all! I hope you all had a great, long weekend!

Nana's Visit

Last weekend, I went out of town to visit my parents. They are in the process of building a house and everything is a little displaced, so I decided to leave the boys with Marc for the weekend. His Nana came to the house to help him out and hang out with the boys. She spent the night and I think they all had a blast! Thanks Marc and Nana for doing such a great job!!!

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...

I have always loved this little saying that describes "what little boys are made of" and it is so very true. They can be mischievous and absolutely adorable and mischievous again all in a matter of minutes and I guess this is what makes little boys so much fun! I know that my fun has just begun, but I can't wait for more of it...I guess I am a glutten for punishment! I thought these pictures would give you a glance of some of our most recent moments. Here's to sweet boys...

Splish Splash Cole Hudson Loves His Bath!

What a sweet honeybun we have in this baby! He smiles all the time, is such a snuggle bug and LOVES his bath. He is such a joy and we are so thankful for our little Cole Hudson...

Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite...

Okay...so I haven't posted in a while and I think a few of my friends are going to disown me for it! I have, however, been keeping up with taking pictures and have many posts to work on. I do think that one of my favorites is going to be this one, though. Graham is going through such a great stage right now and has finally settled into the fact that Cole is here to stay. He is chatting so much and loves going down for his nap everyday with a new "costume." His favorite is some kind of hat, a book and his flashlight...which I have to go in and turn off once he is asleep to keep the batteries from going dead. He is so sweet and I love sneaking into his room and taking pictures of him in his creative disguises!
Cole doesn't dress up for naps, yet. I am sure he will since this seems to be a very "boy" thing to do. Boys are the best!!! :)

Happy Birthday To You!!!

I can't believe our little Graham is 2! He had such a great party with family and friends. The plan was to go to the park, but weather did not cooperate and we had to move things to the house...of course, the kids didn't know the difference and they had fun playing on Graham's new playset (thank you Nanny and Paw Paw and Kaki and Papa :)) He had a great day with great friends and family, pizza and an ADORABLE cake that his mama thought up! :)
