Fall Festival...

Finally you guys get to meet John David's buddy, Landen! They have grown to be such big buddies!
Once again this year was a hit! Everyone seemed to be having loads of fun!!


The Great Escape by Dad!

Here they are after tackling one another in the big blow up....

Landen's head is under there somewhere....they could giggle and laugh all night!

Then we finished the night with just a little cotton candy....one of mom's favorites...

and then some more...John David liked it too!!

B.U.D.S

Bringing Up Down Syndrome

We got to go to the Buddy walk with Rileigh this weekend. We were very excited to be one of her many buddies on this special, fun day!



Ofcourse playing ball!



John David found another little buddy too!

Birthday Costume Party!!!

Here he goes...
My two boys....Crest Cool Mint Toothpaste and ofcourse a little floss to go with it....

Happy Birthday, Jordan!!

Surprisingly he kept the cap on well! I was suppose to be the toothbrush...I decided to settle for the floss too:-)

Bob the Tomato!


One of the coolest birthday parties ever!!

And we ended the night with a hay ride! How fun!

Thanks Jordan for having a birthday!! We had so much fun at your party!!

John David and Mom's Monkey Moo!

This was one of my favorite toys as a little one....it's fun to see John David enjoying him now! He thought is was so cool to dress him up and let him watch cartoons with him! We must have gotten a little too busy dressing Monkey Moo b/c as we can all see I overlooked dressing John David!! oops!

John David is getting BIGGER....

John David had his 18 month check up a couple of days ago...we got a great report!

I always think this is fun to know: He's 70th percentile in weight, over 95th percentile in height, and his head is between the 90th and 95th percentile!! He's a big one!

And of course, being his father's child, he has to say hello to everyone who walks by in the hallway!!

Westminster Football!!

I absolutely love these pictures...John David reminded me so much of David when I first met him at Liberty with his backward hat, long hair, big eyes, polo and khakis, and new balances!

Is this a little David or what?!

John David and Haley....he wasn't so sure about the big wildcat...I think he was waiting for him to let out a big roar!

35 Weeks!!

Well, the end of October is here...November is around the corner!

We got a picture of us awaiting John David 18 months ago just like this! We were so excited to bring him home with us! Now, we are longing to bring home Hudson! I am even more excited, now that I really know the joy of being a mom! What a blessing! The Lord is so good! I can't even express my heart towards my loving Heavenly Father! My heart is filled with joy and my eyes with tears as I think about all the blessings He has given us! When you know Him, spend time with Him, and enjoy His presence....there's a peace and a joy that can't help but to overtake you!

Bits of randomness...

Baking daddy a little surprise!!

Working hard...
John David has the best daddy in the world..we tell him all the time, but today we thought we'd tell him with a cake and a card!
Yummy!!
A little bedtime snack:-)~ Pretty healthy, huh?!
Another belly shot....I took this myself....so it's a little odd, but you can see little Hudson sticking out there...anytime now and he'll be with us!! We're getting so excited!!
A friend of mine reminded me of playing with shaving cream....I've done this tons of times with other little ones, but this is John David's first...and well, he didn't enjoy it...this was his face the entire time...I have no clue why, but he didn't think it was as cool as I had hoped:-)~
But this, ofcourse, gets him smiling every time! Give him a ball and helmet and he's good to go for hours..well, maybe not hours, but when you're pregnant and chasing him around...half the time with a helmet on yourself and him on your back....it seems like hours:-) Good hours, but hours:-) Some of his favorite words..."Set, HUT"
Trying on some new fall clothes....I thought his expression was funny!!

He needs a haircut, I know!!
Another favorite- John David loves mom and dad's IPOD....
He listens while he dances....he thinks he's quite the big boy:-)
