1st Day of Kindergarten & baby name announcement

My little poser
Still doing crazy faces
New backpack and ready to go!
Sitting in class for the first time

Making their own fun
Hudson LOVED the first day of school! He said his favorite part was getting to go outside after lunch instead of taking a nap like preschool! He wore his new school shirt yesterday...he couldn't wait! He said he's only done two papers so far, so we'll see how he feels when the real work starts!

INTRODUCING....

Lincoln Patrick's room
We just started getting Lincoln's room ready and have only hung these things, so far. I'll post the entire nursery when it's all ready! I can't believe there will actually be a newborn in this crib in 5 weeks!

Open House & Flag Football

KINDERGARTEN is quickly approaching!!!
This is the only pic he'd take...outside his new classroom
Hud's friend from preschool is in his class too

The gym...that's Drew
playing in the reading lounge while parents fill out ppwk

Doing drills at football
Mine's the cutie in the burnt orange (Hook 'em)

Hud doesn't like pushing but likes getting flags

Drew during practice
Drew found something to do...his favorite
Last night was "Meet the Teacher" at Hudson's new elementary school. He was so excited to go and was practically skipping down the kindergarten hall. He said his teacher "looks nice." After meeting his teacher, we visited the library, gym and cafeteria. They served pizza to all the kids and parents which, of course, they loved. We bought a school shirt and Hudson said he wanted to wear the first day of school. Too cute. I said, "Well, I think you should wear something else the 1st day of school, since we'll be taking lots of pictures!" He said," we can take pictures in my school shirt!" I told him he could wear it the 2nd day of school and he was ok with that. Oh and Drew wanted a school T-shirt too. I told him I'd get him one later and Hud was not happy about that. I'm actually not sad at all about him going to kindergarten b/c he's really excited and I know probably half the parents in Hudson's class . Several of them and I went to high school together. Crazy. I think it's going to be a great year and I hope he makes lots of good friends. I'll post pics after his first day next week.

Shopping, Circus and Fishing

He will only let me take a pic if he can do silly faces
Same goes for little copy cat
Waiting for "Sunny" to get done shopping
Playing on indoor playground at Towneast Mall

Before the Circus...super happy

Way too many things to choose from

Opening act...so far so good

loved the elephants

Not so good after fireworks

Drew 1st real catch at the in-laws

2nd catch 5 mins later...so excited
brother decided to try too but would rather catch tadpoles
We've had a busy last two weeks so I decided to just post it all. I did leave out Hud's flag football tryouts and our 1st official practice. We also went bowling for the first team this weekend. The boys loved it and would jump up and down after EVERY bowl. Drew barely got the ball down the lane but it did end up knocking over a few pins!
I finally received the baby bedding last week! YEAH!! We have furniture in place but nothing on the walls. I want to wait until it's completely finished before I show you guys! I went to my 33 wk appt. today. The doctor thinks we are on schedule to have another large baby (surprise) so he thinks he may induce at 39 wks which would be the last week of September!! YEAH!!!! I go back in two wks so I'll let you know.
We have another flag football practice tonight so I'll try to take some pics of my little man.

8 years ago today...

THEN...
Leaving Mt.P for the honeymoon

NOW...

At a business conference in Kansas City last week

Same conference...mom was there too

Yes, I know my face is getting plump!!

They had casino night on the last night

Wow...8 years has gone by fast! I would never have guessed, 8 yrs ago, that Brian and I would be in Mt. P, working with my parents, and expecting our THIRD boy!!! Crazy how life plays out...or should I clarify...how God works things out. We are soooooo happy here and wouldn't change a thing. Well, except for the fact that my favorite city, Austin, is 5 hours away. We are so exceedingly blessed and have continued to enjoy a fun-filled marriage. Thank you, Brian, for putting up with my wacky ways, for loving me for who I am, and for helping me be a better "me!" I love you and can't wait to see what new adventures lay ahead of us in the years to come.
