Yo Gabba Gabba!

As I have mentioned before, Hudson LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba and will almost always stop whatever he is doing to watch it.  Most of the time he will sit through the entire show....and sometimes two in a row if they show them back to back.  He always points to the TV if he hears you say Yo Gabba Gabba.  I saw this shirt on sale at Old Navy and knew I just had to get it.  He loved it!!  I was holding it up to show it to him and he wouldn't let me put it down!  I had to lay it out on the floor so he could see it and he kept coming and kneeling down to look at them and talk to them all night long!  It was the cutest thing!  I got out the camera and he sat right down when I told him to say cheese....he was so proud!  :)

 

 

"Cheeeese....."



~Santa~

We took our annual trip to Bass Pro Shop this weekend to sit on Santa's lap.  This first picture is as good as it got.....Hudson was NOT a fan....as you can tell by the second picture.  Kinley wasn't real sure about sitting on his lap this year either, but kept saying she would because Riley would be there to "protect" her.  Riley was a good sport again...I think he knew I really wanted a pic of all three of them.  I love their Santa and winter scene....it's beautiful and really gets you in the Christmas spirit.  It's such a fun an inexpensive trip to let the kiddos have some Christmas fun.  We love it and I already can't wait to go next year! 

 

Cuteness....

Matt was attempting to sneak up on Hudson to get a picture when Hudson spied him, stopped what he was doing, sat down and said "cheeee."  Matt and I couldn't believe it, where has our baby gone!!  He must have caught on when we were attempting to take Christmas card pictures the weekend before....when he would hardly look at the camera.  Looks like we should have waited a weekend to take them....  :)  I can't believe my baby is already making these kind of connections and becoming such a big boy!  :(

 Still showing off for the camera......

 Lovin' Daddy's ITouch...

 Hudson was watching TV.....probably Yo Gabba Gabba.....and Kinley got them blankets and snuggled up beside him to watch....such cuties.

~Christmas Parade~

Kinley was sooo excited for the Minier Christmas Parade this year......she could not wait!  It was in the 60's and partly sunny.....can't ask for better weather for a parade in December! 

 Kinley:  "Mom take my picture like this"  She is quite the little poser these days.

 Hudson wasn't quite sure what to think, but he loved watching and I didn't hear a peep out of him the whole time.

 Miss him....

Happy Halloween!

~Pumpkin Patch~

I love fall....and one of my favorite fall activities is heading to the pumpkin patch.  Our weekends filled up quickly this year so we didn't get a trip to Tanner's in....but we did manage to make a quick weeknight trip to Rader's.  Kinley had soooo much fun!  I can't wait to take the kiddos again next year!

Starved Rock

Matt and I celebrated our anniversary with a quick get away to Staved Rock.   It was a beautiful weekend!!  We stayed at a bed and breakfast in Utica and it was so nice.  We got into town Friday evening and went to Duffy's to eat...they had such good food!  Saturday we hiked along the trails for about four hours and then went for a drink at Captain's Cove.  It was perfect hiking weather, 55 and sunny.  Later that evening we went back to Captain's Cover for dinner and the food was delicious there too!  It was a good thing we hiked for four hours considering how much food we ate that weekend!  Ha!

We love our kiddos dearly.....but it was wonderful to get away for the weekend just the two of us!! :)
