i wike how-ween!

the flapper, the zombie skater, and scooby

there is a house in our neighborhood that goes crazy all out for halloween. their lawn is covered in scary stuff. look at abby's face...she's not too sure about being there.

hud on the other hand has no fear. he's totally yelling at this dude about something...

a little sibling love

now he's playing tetherball with a severed head. nice.

Pumpkin time the sequel

...and let the craziness begin.

pumpkins!

so i woke up today and decided that we should go to the pumpkin farm in celina. that train almost derailed before it even left the station. j was being a total pain and hudson literally bit my butt. then andy complained about missing the cowboy game, j complained about the shirt i had him wear, abby was just plain grouchy...it was a xanax day.

but then we pulled up and the kids did a 180. they were so excited and happy and andy even said "i'm glad you brought us out here." so here are some pictures of our day:
his initials aren't "ham" for nothin'...

it was a very nice day :)

when you don't want to eat your food...

...build something with it.

Also, if you need to give Hud his medicine, here's where you can find him:

poor little dude

and the swine has struck...

conversations with hudson

(while on the potty)
"Mama, I pooped an 's'!
"Why do snakes crawl on the ground?"
"Why do monkeys live in trees?"
"Why do donkeys live on the farm?"
"Lots of things live on the farm."
"Whoa, that's a lot of poop."
...all said rapid fire without a breath between.
He cracks me up.

jake rocks

we just ended our first six weeks of school and for jake this meant his very first report card with real grades. we have a-team assemblies each six weeks to recognize A and AB honor roll, etc. jake woke up the morning of and the first thing he said was "i know i didn't make a honor roll." little did he know-here he is crossing his fingers hoping he is the "can do kid"-

right after school jake and andy took off for college station. jake has now been to yell :) the boys had a great time. jake even got to wear mr berry's aggie helmet signed by dat. he was one happy boy.

ps...here's praying that little whitaker handles eating like a champ :)

when in doubt

still not in a place to write very much so i'll just put up some cute pictures :)i do have to brag a little though...abby totally aced the tpri so andy and i are VERY proud! and j-man aced his also. gotta get crackin' on that "math fluency". that boy does nothing fast - why would math be any different?

also, keep praying for my girl kathryn and sweet luke. go here to catch up.
