Diaper Man

 It amazes me some of the things my children come up with all on there own. 

 They have been having fun today unloading all of Hudson's diapers (clean of course) and throwing them around in the playroom.  Austin decided that they would call themselves "Diaper Man" and should wear the diapers on there heads.

They were so funny running around like this.  They managed to keep themselves and mommy entertained for a while like this.

Lightning Comes to Town

 November 1st, 2011was a big day at many homes-it was the release day of the movie Cars 2.

 It was an even more exciting day for kids in our town-the main characters from the movie came to town and you could have your photos taken with them.

 The boys thought it was cool but Austin was not too excited about having his picture made with them.

My little monkeys

Hudson has been quite the little monkey recently and finding any thing he can to stand on so he can reach things.  Today he thought it was a good idea to include his big brother in the fun.  I cant leave them alone for a min or turn my head for a min. these days.

At home Beach Day

 The temps have been so HOOOOOTTTTTTTT here this summer and we can only go outside to play early in the morning or just a little before dark.  Today Austin came up with the idea of having a beach day.

 

 He told me just how to set it all up with the pool right beside the sand table (we had the sand and the water) not to mention the fact that the sand table umbrella added a little shade to the pool.  I also had our patio umbrella where it was trying to shade the pool as much as possible.

 After both boys were all wet they decided it was time to swing.  Austin stepped it up with his big brother duties and pushed Hudson on the swing.

 We also decided to soak the dogs down with water too so they would stay cool and also gave them baths too,  Notice Bernie hiding under the sand table trying to catch a break from the sun.

 After the dogs baths it was back to work-Hudson decided it was a good time to mow the backyard.  Such a devoted little worker!

 Then it was time for another pool break

 Hudson also thought it was a good idea to hide Austin under the big yellow tub (notice Austin under it in the photo above).

Above the dogs are trying to catch some shade by a bush.

Outdoor fun with a Super Hero

 

We had a fun time playing outside today with Hudson and our Super Hero Austin!

 This is about the best photo I could get of them together

 Here are my 3 little guys-Bernie (our dog), Austin & Hudson

The boys love playing outside in the backyard, even though it is so stinking hot this summer.  Our dogs, Bernie & Chloe also love us all being out back together playing!

First week of August around our house

We have been playing a lot of ball around our house recently.

Austin has also been being a big helper with his little brother.  Notice him holding Hudson's cup in the photos below!

MOPS water play date

We had a great water play date with our MOPS group today.  The weather was nice and warm for the kiddos to enjoy the water.  

 There were lots of different water toys, pools and sprinklers set up for the kids to enjoy.  The mamas enjoyed sitting under the shade of the covered patio chatting while watching the kids have fun.

Afternoon fun

The boys and I had a big time this afternoon playing ball downstairs!  The dogs even got to enjoy our indoor playtime.

 Bernie giving Hudson some kisses for letting him play ball too!

 How many balls can Austin hold?

 Mommy & Hudson

 After playtime we had dinner which Hudson appears to have had fun with while feeding himself.  Notice Chloe (our dog) in the back ground just waiting to clean up anything he drops on the floor.

Austin's store is open for business

This morning Austin decided it was time he started his own little store out of our playroom.  He loaded up a bunch of toys onto the sofa and set up his computer keyboard as his cash register-and he was open for business.

 Hudson was his first customer and was very happy to purchase a nice new red sports car for himself!

Happy 4th of July

Mama-ma and Papa came to visit us over the 4th of July holiday!  We had a nice family cookout at our house with Tommy & Aiden along with Mama-ma & Papa.
