Family in Need

I first want to thank those of you who have come to the blog to read about a way in which you might be able to help a young family in need. I heard about this family from a lady at my church yesterday. I do not know them personally or know their story. I just know that they need the help of anyone who is able.
This is a young couple with 3 children and a baby due in October. The mother feels very overwhelmed and I can only imagine. I feel overwhelmed at times with just 1 :-) Like I said earlier they already have 3 children.....1 year old boy, 4 year old boy, and a 9 year old girl. I am going to list below some items that they need help with along with the children's sizes. If you are able to help please either email me at courtney_leigh_landreth@yahoo.com or call me at (479) 409-4284. I will even pick up the items from your house. I was told that they do not care if items are new or used. I know they would be so appreciative of any help. I don't want to sound preachy (spelling??) but I do feel that as believers we are called to help those in need. You might be filling another need for someone else, and I think that is wonderful. I just ask that you look in your everyday life because there is probably someone that needs your help. It might not even be help of monetary value but maybe just your time. So, thanks for your time!! Love ya, Court

Safari & Jumpzone Fun

Over the last week, we have had fun at two local places, The Wildlife Safari & Jumpzone. Hudson had never been to the Wildlife Safari, so on Labor Day Josh and I took him. Two of his favorite things are the outdoors and animals, so this was perfect for Hudson. We want Hudson to know that we want to experience all these new fun adventures with him.

Later in the post you will see pics from the Jumpzone. The Jumpzone has numerous inflatable slides and bouncy houses. Hudson has been before and the more he goes the more fun he has. Hudson and his cousin Carter are quite the pair. They are big buddies and were just hanging/jumping out at the Jumpzone!! I'm lucky to have my sis and her boys so close to us!!

Wildlife Safari

Hello Mr. Yak!!

Josh & I just laughed at the photo. The poor wolf is wanting to eat those deer so bad. The look in his eyes just tell it all.....so close yet so far away!!

Off to see the next animal.

Riding the Gorilla

Hudson liked the baby goat the best.

Feeding the pig some bread!!

This goat got a little too close for Hudson!!

JUMPZONE FUN

Big Buddies

Hudson is saying, "Whoa, here I come!!"

Carter is just chillin' going down the slide.
Collin is patiently waiting his turn behind Carter.

Loves to jump then fall :-)

First Day of School

Well, today Hudson started his first day of school. Okay, so he is only going on Thursdays from 9am-1pm but to me & him that is HUGE!! He is my little buddy through the day so it was a bittersweet time for me. I knew that he would have so much fun playing with other kiddos, finger-painting, & eating that he wouldn't miss me at all. I was excited to have a few hours to get things done around the house, too. Hudson was all prepared with his mathcing backpack & lunchbag. I can't wait to see all the things that he'll do and learn.

This picture just cracks me up!!

What a fun day and oh so tired.
