Yes, I did it...who can resist their child being the next Gap Kid?  Click on Hadley's picture and Hudson's picture to vote for them. If they are chosen as the fan favorite, they win $1000 gift card.  I know it's a long shot, but it's worth a try, and you can vote once a day for each kid.

My sister emailed me pictures today of my niece Jett Lillian and they are so sweet.  The pictures capture her big personality, and I can't wait to squeeze those scrumptious little thighs.  It's never been easy being away from my sister, but now that we have Jett in our lives it's even harder.  I couldn't help but smile when I was looking at the photos (while tears ran down my cheeks).  I love you!

After church on Sunday I took the kids to a nearby park to take some photos - Hudson loved every minute of it.  Crawling all over the rocks, while Hadley kept tripping on the rough terrain.

Hudson went to his best friend Blake's birthday party today at the pumpkin patch and brought home a little pumpkin.  As I mentioned in a previous blog, we got out the Halloween decorations this weekend - which ended up being a bunch of "stuff" rather than decorations.  One of the items was a carving kit.  Hud took it upon himself to carve the baby pumpkin while I was cooking dinner.  He did a great job - Hadley and Johnny watched.
 
I promised Halloween decorations this weekend, and came up with nothing from the attic.  So, we started off the season with our annual pumpkin painting.  Hudson got a little more creative this year and added a face to his pumpkin.  Hadley was most excited about the paint and paintbrushes, that is until she stuck the brush in her mouth.  Luckily we used acrylic non-toxic paint! Of course, Andy painted a scary one, and mine is the cute one ;)
