camp out!

over the weekend, we had a campout with hudson! he absolutely loved it! first, we set up the tent together in our living room and got our pillows and blankets situated. then we played with our flashights and read books, watched his favorite movie (Cars!) and ate s'mores. hudson and daddy slept on the floor together all night long. he had a blast and is still talking about it! the older he gets, the more fun he is! he's becoming such a sweet little boy with such a lovable personality! it's absolutely amazing and we are captivated by him, and God's glory everyday! CLICK HERE to see some of pictures of our camp out and more.

greyson still continues to be wonderful! he's getting so big and strong, it's hard to believe he'll be 4 months old this week. wow, time sure does fly! he is so smiley, expressive, vocal and loves to stand up all the time. he's especially loving the exersaucer right now! he is such an incredible blessing to our family. God is good! we are cherishing every moment because we know they only stay small for such a short amount of time...and in case you're wondering...YES, greyson will be our last baby (unless God has other plans we don't know about). hope you all are doing well. we'll catch up with you soon!

blueberry pickin'

Today, we created a new tradition for our family. We took Hudson to Wades Fruit Farm in Paris, OH to pick-our-own BLUEBERRIES. For awhile now, we’ve wanted to take him out and do something fun with him – something special just for him. Hudson absolutely loves blueberries and when we heard they were “in season” we knew it would be the perfect trip. “Mimi” Snavely watched Greyson for a few hours and we ventured up to the farm. He loved it (to say the least)! He was in heaven! – Not only were there fields and fields of blueberries, there were TRACTORS! He spotted those before we even got to the blueberry hedges. The whole time, he ran around with a bucket and pulled blueberries right off the bushes…and of course, he’d pop a few directly into his mouth at every bush, too (the nice farmer gave him permission)! He also thought it was hilarious to steal them out of our buckets when we were bent down picking! J The weather was gorgeous and we had a picnic in the back of our car at the end of it all! What fun we had!!! Overall, we picked almost 8 pounds of blueberries! This will certainly be something that we’ll do every year from now on with our boys! Next year, Greyson will be able to get in on the action, too!

fourth of july fun and fireworks...

Hello all! Sorry it’s been so long since the last update! We’ve been having so much fun together in the summertime. What a blessing it has been to have the whole summer together…and we still have over a month to go!

Greyson is now over 3 months old (hard to believe!) so we went to have some professional pictures taken. They turned out wonderful and we got some good ones of Hudson, too. Our plan was to have a few pics taken of the boys together and then the rest mostly of Greyson, but when we got there, wouldn’t you know, Hudson jumped right up onto the podium and started posing away! Needless to say, Hudson certainly doesn’t shy away from the camera. So…we got some great pictures of both our boys.

You’ll definitely want to CLICK HERE to see lots of new photos including a lot of the professional ones we had taken. On the Fourth of July we had SO much fun together. We kept Hudson up to see fireworks. We had a blast! The best part was that we didn’t have to go anywhere – you can see the North Canton fireworks perfectly from our deck! We went to the park, ate ice cream, played, and watched the movie Cars. When the fireworks began we walked out to the back deck to enjoy the show! It was so much fun to see his reaction to them since he’s never seen them before. He was all smiles as you can tell from the pictures! Hope you all had a marvelous holiday, too! Check back soon for more updates. Blessings to you all!
