first "real" photos!

Our good friend, Sara Beth, who is extremely talented, did a photo shoot with mainly Hudson for his 3 month pics. Here are a few... there were WAY too many faves to put them all in the album!

Sunday Fun!

Our church had a community outreach block party at a park near our house yesterday... we had so much fun! The weather was perfectly pleasant and it was a great turnout! God certianly knew what he was doing when we had to cancel it last month when TS Fay came through. Hopefully, every "visitor" felt very welcomed and loved by the people of our church.


Matthew was a little nervous about the huge slide, but in no time he was going down by himself... he played on that slide for about 45 minutes straight!


SNOWCONES!

guess who's 4 months old?!

We cannot believe that our little baby is already 4 months old! Time is going by way too fast... definitely faster than when it was just 3 of us. Hudson will go for his check-up on Tuesday, so I'll post all of his info then. Wish us luck with his shots... all four of them :(



Matthew is becoming more and more interested in "playing" with Hudson. Hudson loves to watch M, but he will get a very concerned look when the playing is just a little too much! It is really cute though because Matthew loves being around Hudson and gives him lots of hugs & kisses.

stickers!!

another cousin is born :)

We are so excited to announce the birth of Beckham Gregg Jarrard!! Beckham was born at 4:10 a.m. this morning... healthy and very handsome! Congratulations, Blair & Jenny!! Can't wait to get all the boys together!

Matthew's big day :)

Matthew turned THREE last month... hard to believe! We celebrated with a casual backyard water party and a "Cars movie" cake. He was in heaven!

Introducing...

Miss Taylor Adair Thompson :) Hudson & Matthew have a new cousin to play with in the years to come. Sweet Taylor was born on August 15th and we cannot wait to meet her. Congratulations, Adam & Sharon!!

turning t-h-i-r-t-y...

okay, so i turned 30 last month and i must say that i really enjoyed it. i loved my twenties... finishing out my college education at UGA, (so what if it was my 3rd school!) marrying the guy i dreamed of marrying back in the 11th grade, and then being blessed with two healthy & happy boys. now, i look forward to the excitement of my thirties! no kidding.

to celebrate this milestone, melissa surprised me with the best day/date ever. she sent gus and me off to a scavenger hunt sort of date with 4 wrapped boxes titled location 1, 2, 3, and 4. our first stop was at a skating rink and we were instructed to wear the boa and cowboy hat below. hilarious! next we went to a private dance lesson, which was soooo much fun! (the only silly part was having to wear the gloves) after that we were instructed to go to Borders, get a coffee and stay awhile... told to search separately for 5 books to then share with each other - favorite book, language we'd like to speak, hobby we would like to learn, best joke, and where we'd like to go on our 10 year anniversary. THE most fun! by the way, it looks like gus will be heading to hawaii while i'm skiing in canada :) the final location was dinner at one of the coolest places in t-town, cypress. needless to say, i will never forget this birthday!







as for my actual birthday, i had a yummy mexican lunch with my boys and then dinner at mom and dad's with the family... it was a great day!
