Silly boys...

I know as their mommy I have a very biased opinion. But they really are good little boys. 3 1/2 is definitely a challenging age, Quinten is learning and testing limits all the time, but he is probably the sweetest little boy in the world. Nothing melts my heart more then when he grabs my chin with his little hand and says, "I love you so much mommy." And I forgot how much fun 1 1/2 is. Hudson keeps us laughing daily and is talking up a storm.  He is quite the little dare devil. Hudson has no problem climbing up on something and jumping or at least trying to jump off. I'm sure it won't be long, unfortunately, before we are visiting the ER for his first of many castes. Both boys seem to have had early language skills. Quinten has always spoken very clearly and sometimes it feels like your talking to an old man with some of the phrases he uses. Some of the things he says that I secretly wish he doesn't correct are mad mecs for magnets and he makes the "f" sound for "th" most commonly used for Dorthy, because of his new found love for the Wizard of Oz. As for Hudson, he already has such a vocabulary. Some of his everyday words are: Mommy, Daddy, Deenen, Cawee, Treasure, shsihy (fishy), Dickey (Mickey), Goofy, and Minnie. He calls Grandpa Bopa, just like Quinten did, and is obsessed with him. Hudson often picks up his pretend phone and says, "Hello Bopa." He also calls a bottle, a bobby, and will ask for "bobby peas" or say "bobby seat" meaning he wants to sit in his seat (nap nanny recliner) and drink a bottle...this kid knows how to relax! Water is wawa, and tells us "all done" when he wants to be finished eating. Hudson is already putting a few words together and has no problem communicating. He tries to repeat everything Quinten says and does. The boys are in love with each other. It is an amazing feeling to know they are always going to have each other to love, play, and hang out with.

School Days!

We are SHOCKED!!!

Quinten's school pictures came back and our first thought was were they photoshopped?!?

He hasn't posed like this for a picture since her was a baby.

So handsome, although it did bring tears to my eyes because he looks like he is about 5 not 3.

My baby is getting so big!!!

 And as for Hudson, he enjoys some TV time in his favorite spot, while Q is at school!

 Posing for another picture with his best bud Callie Girl!

A Spook-tacular Halloween!

The boys had SO much fun this year with Halloween! Hudson picked up the word "Spooky" somewhere and seem to be able to point out every halloween decoration saying spooky ghost every time!

After months of trying to convince Quinten that he could not dress up as Princess Elsa, he settled for Kristoff, of course his little sidekick had to be Olaf!

GM and GP cam down for the weekend to see the boys and help pass out treats!

Grandma was especially scary in her witch costume!

 Both boys made it walking all the way around our block!

This was huge compared to the couple of houses we hit last year.

Quinten had a Halloween parade at school and was delighted that his classmate Avery was dressed as Princess Elsa. Of course the two walked together!

 Here is Kristoff walking up to a neighbor to trick or treat!

Although the boys dumped their bags and were very excited that night with all of their loot, we are lucky that they aren't too crazy when it comes to asking for candy!

Hope everyone had a wonderfully fun holiday!
