Hudson's 4th Birthday at Great G & G's

We had Hudson's first 4th birthday party at my Grandparents house. The kids love spending time with their Great Grandparents and playing outside on all their land. I didn't get many pictures of Hudson because he was too busy playing outside with his older cousins.

Second Pumpkin Patch

It was really cold out so Alivia was content sitting in the stroller with her blanket.

Hudson proud that he made it through the obstacle course.

We had a busy month in October and went to two different pumpkin patches. The first time we went as a family with Nana. It was a lot of fun and perfect weather. The second pumpkin patch was a playdate for preschool aged kids. It was a freezing rainy day but Hudson still had a blast. Alivia was happy just cuddling with her blanket and watching Hudson play.

Our weeks lately

Alivia loves being with Ella and Ella loves to do things with Alivia, here they are making door hangers.

Playing in the leaves

It has been awhile since I have blogged there are many reasons. The first of which is our camera has been broke since our trip to Colorado and the second reason is we are always busy. But here are some pictures from my phone of what we have been up to lately.

HOOT, HOOT Alivia turns ONE!

Our Birthday Girl!
She was really getting into opening her presents

After her party we found Alivia relaxing in her chair in her room.

Our baby is now one, where has the time gone? We celebrated with two parties. Her first party was on her actual birthday. We invited friends over for a little party. She had a lot of fun opening her gifts and eating her cupcake. Her second party was a family party. She knew exactly how to open her gifts this time and dove right in to her cupcake. I think she was a little overwhelmed because when her party was over we found her relaxing in a chair in her room. Alivia is a wonderful, happy, and loving little one year old. She is a perfect fit into our family.

Thank you God for our Sweet little Alivia!
