2 New Videos {Hayes}

Here are two videos of sweet little Hayes. Josh, Hudson, & I are enjoying him every day. He is a wonderful addition to our little family!!

3 Months {Hayes}

I can't believe you are already 3 months old. These past 3 months have flown by. We love your sweet smile & laugh. This month you have gotten so much more observant with your surroundings. You know Mommy's voice, and you love to watch your brother play. You LOVE to be talked to. You have the chubbiest legs, and we love that about you. I can already tell that you have a sweet personality. Here are some fun facts about you:

Sleep: You still like to take several naps a day. We aren't complaining :-) You get up 1 time/night to eat and then go back to bed. At times you are a restless sleeper.

Diapers: Size 2 (after you finish this last pack you are moving to a Size 3). Size 2's are getting too tight

Feeding: You are nursing 1/2 the time and taking formula the other 1/2. We leave for vacation in about a month, so I am working on moving you to formula full-time.

Clothing: You are most comfortable in 6 month clothes. According to some clothing labels you could be in 9 month clothes.

Toys: You have really enjoyed the exersaucer & playmat. You love to stand up on your feet (with Mommy's help :-)

We LOVE you Hayes so much and can't wait to see what you do next month.

Happy Halloween!!

Yesterday was Halloween and we had so much fun with the boys. Hudson was a pirate and Hayes a cow. They were the cutest pirate and cow I have ever seen!! We trick-or-treated mainly in our neighborhood. Hudson was really into it this year which was so fun. Before the night was over he had 5-7 suckers. Suckers were by far his favorite. He would say, "trick-or-treat," get the candy, and then go into people's homes. We had to tell him it wasn't ok to go into homes without permission. People got a kick out of it :-) Hayes had a good 1st Halloween by chillin' out watching brother. After trick-or-treating, we went over to my sister's house and celebrated with her, Josh S., Collin, Carter, Me-Ma, Pa-Pa, & Mimi!!We had fun eating some yummy treats my sis made and drinking spiced tea!! We had fun watching all the boys together!!

Our 2 spooks!!
Happy 1st Halloween (yes his pants are unbuttoned...he is a big boy)

Scary door but that didn't come between Hudson & his candy!!

Hudson found a pirate girl. She was really cute, too.

Hudson & our neighbor, Kevin. Their family has always been so sweet to Hudson.

My parents, Me-Ma & Pa-Pa, wore these masks to suprise the boys. I was a little freaked out!! You got to love my parents for getting into the spirit of dressing up :-) All the boys looked so cute (Hudson-Pirate, Collin-Anakin Skywalker, Carter-Spiderman, & Hayes-Cow)

Mimi (Josh S.'s Mom) We love her!! She was getting some Hayes snuggle time.

Tired after a busy night!! Look at those lips!!

Hayes & his Playmat

My Mom wanted to get Hayes a little something, so we decided to get him a new playmat. He loves it. I can leave him on it, and he will just play & play & play!!

Family Hike to The Glory Hole

Josh, the boys, and myself took a hike today to The Glory Hole. It is in the town of Fallsville, AR (near Pettigrew). The Glory Hole is described as a hole that has been drilled by a creek through the roof of an overhanging bluff (the hike is 2 miles roundtrip). There wasn't much water coming through it but it was neat to see, and Hudson got to throw rocks in the shallow pool of water below. Josh & I talked about taking the boys on a hike and enjoying some of the Fall colors. The drive took about 1 1/2-2 hours, and we got to see some beautiful colors on the trees. Hudson was too busy playing with two of his dinosaurs, and Hayes was sleeping to even notice the trees :-) Once we got to the beginning of the trail, we decided to go ahead and eat our packed lunch. Hudson was able to walk most of the trail. We carried him when the trail got a bit steep. All & all the trail was really easy and we had a blast. Hudson loves being outside and found a rock or two or hundred to throw..ha!! Josh & I were talking on our drive that we hope the boys want to do things like this as they get older. I am sure they will. They both did so wonderful on the hike that I think we have 2 outdoorsmen on our hands.

Hudson enjoying some turkey!!
Hayes taking his bottle.

You got to love a man with a baby carrier. BTW, Hayes DOES have pants on. They are just really tight..ha ha!!

Hayes & Mommy

My Mom sent this photo to me today from a few weekends ago. I just love how Hayes & I's faces are smooshed together!! I just love this little guy.

School Halloween Party

Today Hudson had a Halloween Party at school. He goes to one school on Thurs. and another one on Tues./Fri. He loves his pirate costume :-) This boy was ready for candy!! I will admit that near the end of the party he had a meltdown (time for a nap). We still had fun but too much partying can wear a kid out :)

CUTE

Hayes decided to show up in his cow costume!!


The workers at the church gave the kids candy. They walked around trick-or-treating!!

Mommy loves her pirate and cow.
