Boo!

Cooper has been counting down for at least the last month how many days there were until Halloween and "BOO!" has quickly become his tag line.  He insisted on us decorating our house from top to bottom so we are outfitted with more Halloween gear than we know what to do with but at least he was pleased with the outcome!

Halloween finally came and didn't disappoint this family!  We carved pumpkins all morning, took a haircut break, and then went to a Halloween party for the afternoon before trick or treating time.  They all really had an awesome day and loved every second of playing, carving, sliding, and of course trick or treating!

Coop's class has a Halloween Parade at school so here is my handsome Hulk flexing his mighty muscles!

Group shot, The little Jedi next to Cooper is his BFF Jackson.

They had an enormous inflatable at the Halloween party and of course Hudson could do the entire thing by himself!  People were all amazed at how brave he was to get in with all the big kids but in his usual fashion he didn't miss a beat and hopped right in.

When Hudson slid feet first he would usually flip over because his shoes would catch so I tried to talk him into going on his belly, but I meant feet first, not head first!

Perfect spot for a drink break!

Hudson was so funny at each house after he got his candy he would ask the people to open it for him!  Trick or Treating with him was definitely interesting as he wanted to eat each piece as he got it.

I think it's safe to say the favorite stop on our trip was at Pop and Nunu's!

Baths, Halloween pj's, and Charlie Brown time!

Coop would clearly rather watch tv without the distractions!

 Ready for bed!  Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday Hudson!

TWO!  I don't know how but this big boy has grown up before our very eyes.  He's two and he knows it!  We hear "my do it!" about a zillion times a day and meltdowns are just a part of the day but we can't help but love and spoil our last little buddy.  He can be such a terror but he can also be such an angel!  He is absolutely our cherry on top and completes our family in a way no other little one possibly could.  He loves his paci, his mommy and daddy, his brothers, his toys, his aunts, uncles and grandparents, and couldn't live without Nunu, Pop, and George.  He also loves dogs, trucks, animals, school, and loves to read book after book, especially if they involve any form of transportation or Goodnight Moon.  He is a good eater for the most part and will pretty much try anything.  He naps once a day for 2-4 hours and sleeps in his crib still thankfully:).  He goes to bed with his brothers and sleeps through the night most every night.  He has such a happy, cute personality and doesn't miss a trick.  He's the first to point out birds, animals, trucks, police cars, or whatever else seems to catch his eye on car rides or walks!  He talks constantly and has his fair share of words for his age.  We love this little guy like we never imagined possible and hope that the terrible 2s stay far, far away from him and us!  Happy Birthday Huddie!  

Wouldn't trade this solemn morning face for anything.

It's all good once I get to eat my birthday donut!

We went to Hillridge Farms for Hudson's birthday and the boys couldn't get enough of the slide, corn, train, hayride, or pumpkins!

Love this belly!

Waving to the people!

Waving to the ponies.

My turn!

He loved it and was all smiles talking and petting his horse.

We had hamburgers and hot dogs followed by a Carolina birthday cake, picked up by Hudson.  I think the person who decorated it must be a Clemson of Virginia Tech fan to put orange icing but oh well!

SO proud!

 You saw that right?!

 Present time!

Daddy's favorite present, finger paint;)!  Hudson loves it and has obviously done it before in school because he was so neat!
