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!

Busy Saturday!

Saturdays are our busy day. This Saturday it consisted of a Missouri State Football Game, Conners Soccer Game and April photographing a Wedding. Here are some snap shots of the busy day.

Conner loves to play the "Bean Bag Game" at the tailgate.
Hudson's first picture with Boomer!

Conner and his friend Lucas, had a blast playing this. Played it several times!

Hudson's girlfriend of almost 6 months was there.

Thanks to G-ma for giving Hudson these cute socks. He was a hit with all the college gals!

Even though the Bears have lost all 4 games....we still think they are #1!!

The Moms of The Rowdies Soccer Team recently purchased shirts to show our team pride. We have all been playing together for 4 seasons now. So, we decided it was time to purchase matching shirts. :) In about 5 years, if we all stick together, our team is going to be the team to beat! Its amazing how talented this little team is...even at 4 and 5 years old. There is some really talented boys on our team.

Once Conner and other members of the team makes several goals....this is where they end up. Goalie. Which as you can see if not one Conner's favorite positions. He would rather be with all the action. But that is the price you pay for making goals....you then have to give your team mates a chance to score.

The winning tunnel. The Rowdies Moms do this at every game!

Brotherly Love!

The transition from an only child of four years to a Big Brother was hard on Conner. But with a little love and patience, Conner has turned into an awesome Big Brother.
Every day, we become amazed on how Conner is learning the ways of being a brother. Its hard being the "Big" Sibling. You are always the example. Sometimes not a good one and that is hard. We are trying hard as parents to make sure that Conner knows that its ok to make mistakes and that is a part of life.
Over the past month, a bond has started to form between the two of them. Which is amazing to watch. Conner is becoming protective of Hudson and really cares about him. We can only wish the best for our boys and continue to help them with their journey of "Brotherly Love!"

His Man Cave

I recently shared some of Conners art work in a previous post. Well, here is where all the Masterpieces are made! His closet! I am sure that is where all fine artist started out. :)

I created a little office for him and he has become very fond of that closet. When the house is quiet and I cant find him. I know that he is more than likely in his "Man Cave."

Sunday...Fun Day!

We might be lacking a lot of things in our house....but personality is not one of them!

Walk for ALS

This morning, we braved the cold and rain to walk for ALS. As many of you know, our Grammy passed away in July from this nasty disease. We raised $1,215.00 for the fight. Not too shabby for our first year.
This plans on being a new family tradition for us. Each year, we will raise our "Goal" just a little bit higher.
We braved the cold and rain this morning...but nothing compares to the bravery of what our Grammy went through while fighting ALS.
They have found a cause for ALS....now lets find a cure!

SURPRISE!!!!

That is what we got last Sunday! A welcomed surprise from Texas. Grandma just decided to get in the car and come see us. We were all surprised when she rang the doorbell Sunday afternoon. We were very excited to see her. We had a busy week and needed some extra hands! Thanks again G-Ma for coming. Cant wait until the next surprise!
