Prayers

Please keep this sweet family in your prayers over the holiday season. Their faith is strong but it still hurts deeply to lose someone you love and someone so young.

Pregnant Momma Punch

So, some of you may know this drink but I was just introduced to it this weekend on a date night to PF Changs. Husband and I chose to sit at the bar to watch some football and the bartender {after hearing my craving for an Apple Martini} made me this sweet concoction of awesome-ness!!

Enjoy Mommies...in a Fun, Fancy Glass during the Holidays!!

Equal Parts:

Pineapple Juice

Cranberry Juice

Orange Juice

Splash of Grenadine*

(*only if desired - I've found it doesn't really taste any different)

Quite Sweet & Will most likely remind you of being at a girly shower...but I can't get enough of it!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Single Digits!!

CRAZY!! I can't believe we are only 9 weeks {or less} from meeting our little Grant!!

Enjoy the baby bump pic & one of his room!! There's nothing on the walls yet...but hopefully, that is soon to change!{Can't believe it is the FIRST baby bump picture of this pregnancy!}

Only Treats Please

SPIDEY to the Rescue!!

Auburn's game against Ole Miss was Halloween which meant we would be there...not in Atlanta to Trick-or-Treat...Opelika & Auburn had their "Halloween" on Thursday...so what does any good, dedicated parent do in such a quandary? Have Daddy take Friday off and head to Opelika in time for Trick-or-Treating Thursday night!!

How could I deprive my very own Spiderman of the first Trick-or-Treating that he might actually remember!?!

Mallory was such a trooper and let Hudson follow her & her friends around. He finally caught on and would run up to the doors, only to hold his bucket up, receive his candy and return to Mommy & Daddy...his only words..."Time to go to next house!"

Hope everyone had a wonderfully spooky Halloween!

BTW...WAR EAGLE!!!!!

my little Spiderman

yeah...ready to go!

"are you ready?"

mommy & spidey!

figuring out this candy thing!!

Long Time No Blog, Eh

So, I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've blogged...not for lack of things to post...just the opposite! Where to begin...I won't even try to recount most of October, so I'll just start with our most recent family fun!

Oh, where to go...it seems all the pumpkin patches "around" Atlanta are 1 hr+ away. Husband and I just weren't up for driving 2+ hours to spend 30 minutes picking out a mediocre, overpriced pumpkin. So, to google I went! I found Kinsey Family Farm!!! If you are in the Atlanta area, this is the place to go. It was so quiet and quiant...and not overpriced. They had lots of pumpkins to choose from and beautiful scenery! Hudson is quick to pick out a pumpkin, so what did we do next, you ask?

We ate some yummy fresh picked apples and caramel and bought tickets for the Apple Cannon {3 apples/$1}, Hayride tickets {$2 ea - 2 & under, free} and even swang for some food to feed the catfish {3 cups/$1}. The only regret...wishing we bought more fish food! Hudson loved it and the catfish were HUGE!!

We had so much fun, we might be venturing back at Christmas. The beautiful trees growing now are available to cut plus they truck in NC Frasier Firs! The Hayrides and Apple Cider are free and they promise the trees will stay fresh much longer than our usual "Home Depot special!"

Bonus: it is all run by the Kinsey Family. They were super nice. It was laid-back with not chaotic.

Double Bonus: it is about 15 minutes from the N Ga Outlet Mall! After a quick bite at Five Guys {YUM}, we headed over to do a little shopping! :-)

Yes...Hudson was awake...just being pouty since we didn't buy more fish food!

Our Finished Product!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL!!!

Sept 30

On this day #? years ago, my sweet, amazing Husband was born! I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Your little man and me had tons of fun hanging out with you today! {Even though both of us weren't feeling so well! Thanks for taking care of us on your special day!}

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Worst Parents Award

Saturday...Hudson woke up with an ear infection. Saturday...there was a football game our little man was DYING to go to. Saturday...it rained...again!

Saturday...the worst parents of the year took that Little Man to the rainy football game!! AND...he was the best, most excited, sweetest little boy in the stadium! Who made it the entire game without once asking to go home! After the game, he was even ready to tailgate {don't worry...we didn't}!

My Favorite Hudson-isms of the night:

"Go Defense" {Auburn was actually on Offense}

"Get 'Em" {that would be mimicking Mommy}

"Go Big Blue"

Jumping During the Entire "Oooohha, Ooohhha" song with the students

Singing along with the Band

Spelling "A-U-B-U-R-N"

Shaking His shaker as if his little life depended on it!
