Prepping for Christmas

Making cookies for Santa...

with friends..... is the best!

Don't forget the reindeer!

Hudson was a spectator this year.

Our first Gingerbread house.

We waited a little too long to visit Santa this year. It was Dec. 23rd, Matt was sick in bed, I had both boys and we had to find Santa. Sacha and I ventured out to Bridgeport with two babies, two three year-olds, and freezing temperatures.

Of course the line was a mile long....

so we told the boys this guy was Santa and he was calling his elves to make the boys toys. They bought our story, we bought the boys candy and took off. Boys in bed, stockings full....Merry Christmas!

Handsome Hudson

This little guy is melting our hearts' daily, I'm not sure how I'm going to go back to work and leave my happy little man.

Halloween

Who wore it better? Below is Luke as a penguin in 2007.......Hudson was the same penguin this year. Luke the Bee and Hudson the Penguin
Cruising
This was the first Halloween he was all about getting candy.
He was too busy getting candy to stop for a picture with his friends.

All business.

Mostly treats this year, although Matt did trick him and ate most of his candy.

My September Boys

I have a love/hate relationship with the month of September. September is saying goodbye to summer and hello routines. Going back to work is absolutely crazy, ridiculously busy, and exciting at all the same time. Around here we welcome the excitement that a new season brings with cooler nights, harvesting crops, and most importantly celebrating my favorite boys. Three parties in one month exhaust me, but I'll do it all over again every year for my boys.

Matt-September 13th

Hudson-September 17th

Luke-September 21st

Swimming in Sunriver

Swimming is such a blessing, the kids get exhausted and you don't have to work hard to keep the kids busy. Well at least the wives didn't have to, although I am growing a child and had to take pictures.

Sophia, the cutest little brown eyed girl.

Sophia and Ethan

Little charmer or what?

Matt was determined to surf again. He was the only one over 18 years of age, it was pretty funny.

Luke hoping to have a turn surfing.

Yachats 2010

We went to the beach cabin again in Yachats and had a wonderful relaxing time. Luke got to spend a few days with both sets of Grandparents, minus Mike (get a secretary already) and Great Grandma Wanda. There are a lot of pictures, enjoy!
