We were there, for a minute

Livesay boys visiting our old stomping grounds.

While I was running in and out of Grammy and Gramp's house (packing the car), Major shimmied his way into their fountain. He's so proud. Little booger! Shoes, socks, shorts, diaper... soaked!

We made a short visit to Spring for the Livesay golf tournament. Short as in about 24 hours. It was nice to see Bob and Ann before the tournament. Stephen had a little time with us, so we went back to our old neighborhood park (his choice, not mine. still a little painful for me). I actually shed a few tears as the boys played at the old playground. A little bit of an overreaction, but hey, it happens. Anyway, Stephen's former boss's wife, kept the boys for a couple of hours during the tournament. I went shopping and spent the whole time in Dillards. Not too long ago I might have turned my nose to such a waste of time, but this Victoria girl was enjoying all the choices in one place! My, how times have changed.

Jello

So this doesn't have much to do with jello but it sure is cute.

Hudson ended up eating a left over biscuit from breakfast.

Quick Trip

My parents made a quick stop in Victoria at the beginning of September. They drove through and spent the night after we all went to Hilary Gary's wedding in Marble Falls. Not many pictures, but we had fun. RayRay and Champ took the boys out after the rain and let them run and jump in the puddles, to their hearts content.

Who doesn't love a mini corn-dog?

Major - sup people

Ryan-Kate - Excuse me, it's time for my close up!

Crazy meal time

I'm trying to remember where the kids clothes went so quickly. They had only been there a little while.

It must be genetic (the paci thing)

(Hudson sent his pacis to our baby cousin Cole soon after this. He's been paci-free for a month now! Yea Hudson!)

Ryan-Kate taking a moment

Barney had a special friend the whole time we were there.

Hudson's 3rd Birthday Adventures

Major, Daddy, and Hudson as we are getting ready for our little celebration.

Pizza Time, sweet boys

our party people

The Kellers were friends of ours in Spring and now they live in Victoria, YEA!

We're recruiting people to move to Victoria. There's plenty of room and a great need for cool people. Let me know if you're interested.

Major loving the party atmosphere.

Pablo Cake, of course

Caleb - driving (8months old)

Jake - digging into cake (3 years old)

Major - already ate his cake (16 months old)

Hudson - eating cake with his hand ( 3 years old)

Jake and Caleb are brothers so the Kellers and the Livesays have a lot in common... boys, boys , boys!

presents = awesomeness

silly string fight

Morning of August 31st, his birthday!

The card from RayRay and Champ sang "Life is a Highway," with Lightning McQueen. It was and still is a favorite!

Blueberry pancakes for birthday breakfast and a special card from dad.

We had so much fun for his party. Hudson and Jake play really well together. On August 31st, we did our traditional birthday breakfast. It's usually a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream, but Hudson requested blueberry pancakes. You can't argue with the birthday boy, or an excuse to indulge in some blueberry pancakes, so we catered to his request. He took some massive cupcakes to his class and they of course had sprinkles on them. I'm considering putting sprinkles on his vegetables to see if he'll eat them that way. He got a stomach virus after his nap that day, which lead to Stephen and I both getting it that night... yuck! Major stayed strong and never got it, thank you. We also know that our visitors Ryan-Kate and Julianne got it (pictures of their visit soon to be posted). Then, Julianne's husband Jared got it. Icky! So sorry!

Happy Birthday Hudson!
