October Happenings

Judd had quite the birthday affair.  We had several celebrations.  Jon's sister, Laurie, is so creative.  Judd is obsessed with dinosaurs so she made him a dinosaur digging exhibit, which came equipped with digging accessories.  He loves it.

Grandma Kris brought over some fun gifts too.  One of them included a cute dinosaur blanket that she made herself.  

 Grandpa and Grandma Bowen also had a little celebration for Judd.  He got to play with his cousins, eat yummy food, and open fun surprises.


On Judd's birthday all he wanted to do was make these little ghosts out of cheese cloth.  Jon did the whole thing with him and then they hung them all around our house.  


Jon also helped Judd carve his pumpkin that he picked on his field trip.

We haven been doing lots of crafts now that the weather is changing.  I am already seeing how bored the boys get when we stay in all day.  I need to get creative this year.


My friend invited us to go to Gardner Village.  We looked at all the fun witches and then had yummy donuts and chocolate milk.

 The hair roots are awful but the good new is I just had my hair done, so I don't look like I could scare crap off of toliet paper.

We have been to the neighborhood park a lot, even though it is so cold.  The boys enjoy running around and not being cooped up in the  house.  



This little peanut is so fun but I can tell he is entering his terrible twos.  The attitude that comes out of this fire ball kind of makes me want to laugh and cry, all at the same time.

Judd's 5th Birthday

Judd just turned 5.  We had a little neighborhood birthday party for him. 

Judd helped me make his birthday cake.  He is obsessed with dinosaurs so that is the route we went.  I love how he wants to help me do things.





My sweet mom came and helped at the birthday party.  She saved my bacon.  I don't know what I would have done without her. 

They made mummies out of chocolate milk boxes.  

Every time I asked Judd what he wanted for his birthday, he would say a pinata.  He got a t-rex pinata.







I hope he had fun at his party.  I can't believe how much I love this child.  He is an amazing boy, even if he gives me a few grey hairs.  

Flag Football

We signed Judd up for Itty Bitty Flag Football and he loves it.  He is on the Chicago Bears team.  I love watching him do sports.





He made a touch down on this one...Go Judd!!!!

Day Break

My cute cousin, Cortney, and her kids met us at Day Break.  We had a fun time letting the kids ride scooters, watch the ducks swim, play at a park, and eat delicious sweets at a near by shop.

Fall is Here!

I am loving the cooler nights and the need to not have to drown yourself in bug spray.  The mosquitoes were horrible this year.

 After baths I decided to take the boys for a little bike ride.  With Remi's bike I can actually use it as a scooter as i hold onto the the bicycle arms.  Remi just has to sit on his rump and enjoy the blowing breeze through his hair.  

 Of course we ended up at the park.

 I could eat him up.



 Judd loves that he can do pretty tricky stuff on the playground.



 Judd is getting pretty fast on his bike.  We need to teach him how to ride without training wheels but I am a little apprehensive since his cousin just broke his leg while learning.




I love Halloween.  Probably because it is the month Judd was born.  It is so fun to decorate with Judd because he really gets into it.  This time I let him choose where to put the Halloween decor and he did a great job.
