Santa Through The Years

2008, I went to the mall to have the boys' picture taken with Santa. Cannon was a couple weeks old and the visit was unsuccessful. Hudson was screaming and kicking so bad that Santa wouldn't take Cannon from me ... and I didn't want a picture with just Hudson. Looking back, I should have done it. The crying pictures are the best. Here is a recap from Hudson.

2009. We actually used this one as our Christmas card that year. Best one so far.

And here is the Santa that came to Rowen and Cannon's school last year.


2013. I am still going to keep taking these photos but the crying one is the best!

December Parties

This month has been busy. Really, really busy. But also a lot of fun too!

We had JR's company Christmas party a couple weeks ago. It is one of my favorite nights of the year - so proud of where he has taken the company!

Blurry picture of a picture... ugh. I need to remember to take more pictures!

Photobooth fun!

Another Christmas party!

The school auction night party - such a fun night - this is my only picture!

Zack Brown Band - one of our favorite bands.

Girls night in LA - for Justin Timberlake...

And then Beyoncé!

Birthdays

November means a lot of birthdays in our family. It is crazy. And right before Christmas makes it even crazier...

Cannon turned 5 in November. 5 means so many things but mainly it means BIG KID. No more baby. Not even slightly. Cannon even started acting older the day he turned 5 and he was already my Mr. Independent before that.

Cannon had a party at Pump It Up...

A Baseball party.

He got skateboard gear + new Nikes.

He got an awesome blanket and pillow made by Auntie Shelley. And new boots from Auntie Rose.

Mom and Dad in the Birthday Chair.

Gia's birthday was also a fun day. She had an awesome magician and was nice enough to choose Hudson for one of the tricks!

Halloween 2013

Halloween was a lot of fun this year!

The family:


The Halloween food! I brought this stuff to Cannon's school...


I brought the skeleton's tomb and the spider deviled eggs to a party...


Olives made the spider...


Hudson was a fisherman (no big shocker there).


Hudson had a parade at school.


Hudson's school also had Trick or Trunk before Halloween. We decorated our car and passed out candy to kids that came dressed up.


Cannon dressed up as Scooby Doo.


Cannon had a little performance at school (he was the skeleton).


Actually, Cannon and one of his best friends both went as Scooby Doo.


They were so cute!


And funny!


The craziness after trick or treating!


My bloody Halloween nails...


The cousins at a pumpkin patch!

Neon Soccer

Fall soccer is in full effect. And randomly, both boys got the same color uniforms this season. Hudson's team is named the Green Dragons. And Cannon's team is the Green SlimeBall Ninja Turtle Slicers.

Random Updates

I hate that I haven't been good about updating this blog. I know one day the boys will like that I did (not to mention JR and I) so I am going to really try to be better!
