August 2012

Almost a TEN year old?!?

Say it ain't so;(

My blonde, blue eyed Baby Love:)

Big Jo (Jonah) has been a long standing

summer play date for the Walkman.

These two can play for hours upon hours!!!

Haddie got to see some of her classmates

at sweet, precious Maddy's party!  

Walker set in a few months ago wanting

some of these "toe" shoes.  Troy and I

were like NO WAY!;) but we finally

caved in when we found some

cheaper versions!  ha!  I kinda like

that Walker wanted to wear

something not in the 'norm'..........

but we still make fun of them!;)

My parents' home (what am I saying...

MY home!) in Woodway has such a

beautiful backyard with trees older

than I am.  Unfortunately in the last

few years a few have died and there

was concern that they could fall

on the house or worse on one of us...

especially the kids playing outside.

So...........my parents were forced

to hire some people to come cut them down:(

Hudson won't have nearly as many

pictures with the beautiful trees

as all the rest of the kiddos,

so we just had to take these...

The three main trees in this picture are

gone now:( replaced by a pretty young

new tree for us to watch grow with Hudson! 

The lone new tree now ;(

Hadlee's friends from school,

Oliver & Elliot

had a precious summer b-day party.

It was cute to see Hadlee & Cannon

Ball hooked up again;)

They had a super fun slip-n-slide

that Hadlee would have nothing to with...

UNTIL Cannon talked her into it!!!

Of course she LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the party was picture perfect:)

I had to beg and plead for Hadlee 

to get OFF the slide to leave!!!

Silly girl:)

I would have NEVER, ever dreamed

that I'd let Walker grow his hair out. 

He had his first Aggie hair cut

at nine months old and I assumed it

would always be like that;)

Now , I love his 'long' hair.......but

T-Daddy does not!  He threatens

us all.the.time with a mean 'ole

barber if we don't go get his

and Hudson's cut on a regular basis!

Walker hates going:(

and I always get in trouble for not

 getting enough cut off!  hee hee!

Walker & Troy went to see the

new Batman movie...



Thus sparking a CRAZY desire

for a Batman movie birthday party!!!

And when we found these shirts

how could I resist such a fun theme?!?

Our summer swimming at

Wendell's pool was never boring;)

Especially during the Olympics

when Walker would often remind

me of Michael Phelps?!???!?!!!!!

One day I was playing Barbies with

Hudson (ooops...don't tell daddy!) and

my Barbie asked for a kiss?

Really meaning from Hudson's Ken

doll;  but instead, Huds was so quick

to bend down to give my Barbie a kiss!

SWEET boy:)

YAY for a Hoodie Swim Date at the Reed Resort!

Complete with adorable treats made by LaLa!!!

I truly can't believe how big all of our little

hoodies are:( They are still as cute &

sweet & fun as ever.  Such a huge blessing for our

little ones to have grown up together like this!

All summer long a group of us 4th grade

boy mamas had been trying to get together.

Finally, we chose a Friday night and met up

for some pizza and fun!!!

Braden, Cade, Peyton, Matthew,
Kyle, Bryson, Walker
Ready or NOT, 4th Grade.........
Here They Come!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta love some Popparollos in your life:)

Walker, Hadlee and I met up

with Amanda, Cade & Cannon to

see the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie...

Amanda and I assumed the kids would

sit with us in the theater, but we were

wrong;)  ha!  Walker & Cannon sat

together on the side and THIS cute

couple sat on the very back row!!!

 

Hudson Jack is ALLLLL about his mama!

He can be clear across the house and

hear that someone is lovin' on "his

mama" and he comes to get you!!!

Bless his heart...the "mmmyyyy mama"

game is a favorite around here!;(

School clothes shopping in a

storm;  I mean WITH a storm!!!!!!

There is always fun to be had!!!

Rides and a stop at Chickfila

does wonders while school

clothes shopping with the Storm;)

 

We squeezed in a couple more

days at Hawaiian Falls......

Braden joined us:)

Silly Superman;)

She loves to strike herself a pose!!!

Wipe Out......

........literally!!!  ;)

This kid is so big and handsome...

I just don't even know what to do!!!!!!!

He and his friends are just too cute!

But "boys drool and girls rule"!  ;)))

Good times!!!!!!

Before we left, Hadlee noticed

which bathing suit I was wearing

and decided to change into hers

that kinda matched;)  This is what

B/F/F's do!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

I love hanging with my two H's!



 

I am truly always thankful...

From sunshine days at a water park with

my loves to seeing my beautiful
little girl sleeping soundly

on the couch to everything

in between!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
