Water Boy

One of Hudsons favorite things to do is walk along my bathtub. Once he gets to the other end...he loves to turn the water off and on. Off and on. Off and on. Every once in a while he loses his balance and crashes. But like Hud-Man that he is....he just gets up and keeps going!

Christmas Time!!!

This Christmas Season we were hit with the nasty stomach bug. It came and visited us and then it never went away. Christmas Eve, Hudson was lucky enough to get it. Despite being sick 75% of December....we had a great Christmas Season.

Santa came and left too many presents for the boys!
Mommy and Daddy got our little artist a new desk. It converts into a dry erase board, chalk board and a desk.

Conner has become very interested in wanting to take piano lessons. So, Santa decided to bring him a brand new one.

Hudson was really into unwrapping his presents!

Even though Hudson was under the weather, he still was still very excited it was Christmas!

Santa brought Conner the piano....but it has become one of Hudson's favorite toys!

Christmas Day, we spent it with friends!

Hudson got this adorable train from Grandma and Grandpa. They arrived just in time for the New Year. Grandma also arrived just in time for her to get the stomach bug!

New Years Eve, we kept it low key. With Conner and Grandma both being sick.....we just relaxed at the house with some sparklers.

Hopefully, we are done with the Bug of 2011 and moving on to a great 2012!

Church Christmas Program

Saturday night was all about Conner. Which of course, he loved! Saturday night was our Church's Children's Christmas Program. Conner had the privilege of being the only 4 year old with a line in the play. He did a very good job and made his Mommy and Daddy very proud.
We rarely get a picture of all 3 of us gussied up. Yes, we know Hudson is not in the picture. He was sleeping away. He never knew we left. :)
That night was a special night for Conner and he highly enjoyed it being just the 3 of us! He is getting to be such a handsome little man!

Naughty or Nice?

Now that Hudson is able to pull himself up....he has been getting into more trouble. Most recently, pulling off one of Conner's drawings. Once Conner figured out what had happened to his drawing...he said...."Naughty Hudson! The Elf on the Shelf if watching you!"

Helping?

Hudson calls it helping. Mommy and Daddy call it "Trouble!" He is so strong that he will actually pull the whole bottom rack off of its track.

Gobble...Gobble!

For Thanksgiving we traveled to Texas. It was a great day and we couldnt have asked for better weather.

As always, a Fleitman Family tradition of shooting the left over Halloween Pumpkins.

Hudson got to meet his 2nd Cousin!


After lunch...Conner and his cousins we looking for "dinosaur" fossils.

Aunt Katie and Uncle James' new Mini was the new toy to play with.

On Friday, the boys opened their Christmas Gifts from Aunt Katie and Uncle James.

Saturday....we celebrated Aunt Katies 29th Birthday!

And last but not least, watched the Hokies win the game of the season! We had a great Thanksgiving and thankful for many things in our lifes!

Conner is thankful for.....

This post is brought to you by the #4

During this time of year, many people are giving Thanks for special things in their lives. We are thankful for a 4 letter word to hang our Christmas Stockings. Why? Because it means we are complete!

Thankful for the number 4!

Monkey Toes!

This is what happens when you go outside in your walker without any shoes. Monkey toes appear!

Seriously Mom?

Usually Hudson is all smiles! But once Mommy put this bear coat on him, his mood changed. Mommy thought it was perfect since we were tailgating at the MSU Bears Game. But I think Hudson thought differently? (Lovin the double chin!)

Here's what you missed.....

Over the past several weeks!

A wonderful Halloween night with friends!
Our wonderful cat, Sally, turning into a camera hog!

Cardinals Vs. Rangers! We all know who won!!

You have to be very special to be able to enter the "Man Cave." Since Aunt Erin is an Art Teacher...Conner let her in to teach him some new skills.

A Halloween Party at school!

Trick or Treating in the Missouri State University dorms.

It was a Great Halloween Season. We can only wonder what next years costume will be! Not sure if anything can beat The Lego Man!

Another Fun Weekend!

We had another fun weekend here in Springfield! Grandma and Grandpa from Texas came to visit us. We had MSU Tailgating, Soccer Game, and a trip to the park for the local Art Fest. Sunday, we a lazy day that consisted of painting our pumpkins. Our little Artist made each one look spectacular!
