Fall Break

What a wonderful fall weekend we have had! Friday night was spent relaxing on the back porch. I had a toasty fire, a glass of wine, and my favorite boys. It was a perfect evening! Saturday morning we headed to the pumpkin patch. After a little research, we decided the best place for us was Jack-o-Lantern Lane in Lafayette. We were not disappointed!

The pumpkin patch included a mini petting zoo. Hudson got to pet rabbits, horses, and a donkey. He got to see chickens and turkeys. His favorites were the donkey and turkeys. There were two huge fields with pumpkins and sunflowers. There was also several set ups for pictures. After the hayride and petting the animals, Hudson went in search of the perfect pumpkin!
                                             

The evening ended, once again, on the pack porch next to the fireplace. Tucker set up the TV, so we could watch all the football games outside. I was skeptical when we got the fireplace this spring, but I'm so glad we made the investment. It has become another room for us,and it's a great entertaining space. We've already enjoyed it several times this year. 

Happy Fall!

Tailgating Fun

We tailgated for the first time this year for the LSU vs. Auburn game. This was Hudson's second tailgate, and boy, did he love it! That boy did not meet a stranger! Thank goodness for his Shug! She was happy and content chasing him all over the place. Mama, on the other hand, was exhausted just watching him.

We invited our sweet friends from church, the Epperson's. Blake and Lybbi have a little boy named Walton, who is only about two weeks older than Hudson. Walton and Hudson had the best time together. There's no telling what those boys will get into when they are older. We are so blessed to call them friends and have our boys grow up together. 

Hudson loved sitting in his mini Auburn Tiger tailgate chair that his Shug and Big Al bought him. He had the most fun shaking his Auburn shaker and taking a ride around the tailgate spot in the wheelbarrow pushed by his daddy. He chatted up lots of pretty college girls and climbed up and down every set of stairs he saw. Poor Shug, she had to be exhausted, but she followed right along!

           

The day before we took Hudson downtown. He had his first Toomer's lemonade and played on Samford lawn.

         

         

         

We can't wait to do it all again for the South Carolina game! War Eagle!

Growing Up

Almost every weekend, we have another birthday party to attend. We love celebrating our sweet friends' babies birthday, but it's another reminder that our babies are growing up. As each friend turns one, Hudson gets closer and closer to age two. While I'm so happy that I have a healthy, growing boy, my mama heart aches because he's more and more "toddler" and less and less "baby" everyday. Sometimes I just look at Hudson in awe. It's amazing how fast and how quickly he's growing and changing. I'm truly blessed to be his mama.
