Thankful for Thanksgiving

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving Judson ended up having a nasty tummy bug! He woke up Thursday happy and full of energy so we headed to Dalhart for Johnson Family Thanksgiving, my family insisted we come!

We had such a great day and enjoyed visiting with lots of family! That evening Cole got very tired early and laid by me , I had a flat so Levi was outside trying to air it up! Out of nowhere Judson and Cole got sick all over me at the exact same time! I'm pretty sure if we had it on film we would win some $$$$!!! The boys were under the weather until Saturday afternoon, as soon as they were on the mend, Daddy went down hill.  This is a nasty bug and I don't wish it on anyone. 

Although, we were "under the weather" we are so blessed that it was short lived and that we are healthy.  Every time some one asked me what I was most thankful for this year I always answered "Our Health."  There are so many that are sick and it is something I am truly grateful for.  There are so many that need our prayers daily...

We hope everyone had a BLESSED THANKSGIVING!! 





Before the disaster started!!  :)

I have never seen him be so STILL

Boys and Baby

Judson and Cole both really enjoyed seeing Paxton and holding her during James family Thanksgiving! Judson really, REALLY Loves her and thought he was so big holding her! She is precious and such a good baby to take it all...

Election Day

We took the boys with us to vote this year! We had been watching debates and talking alot about the upcoming election, so Cole wanted to see what voting was all about! Little did we know they would get a "treat" for coming...they got some of the most delicious patriotic cookies from Denise Baumert! If you need cookies and you are in the Dalhart area you must order some!! I should have gotten a before and after photo...their faces were blue from top to bottom!!

Please remember to pray for our country and those that lead it regardless of your party affiliation! It is so important!

DALHART Football

We have been trying all season to get in ONE Dalhart Football game.  This past Friday we finally made it...we watched them stomp the Pampa Harvesters!  I decided I needed to get a few pics and record the memory since it was Judson's and Levi's FIRST Dalhart Football game!!  Here's too many, MANY more!!   Go WOLVES!!!

14 Months

My sweet baby is 14 months...I can't believe it!

At 14 months:

He continues to be a good eater, but doesn't miss anything to do it.  He has also decided that he must eat with a fork and does very well doing so. 

We got a new tooth this month...so that makes the count at 5.

He continues to sleep well, occasionally waking up at night and still enjoys 2 naps a day from 1.5-2 hours.

Judson is now signing and can sign, "more," "please," "thank you" and "hat."
However he can communicate in other ways EVERYTHING he wants.  I love this stage where you can tell them to do something and they actually understand and follow directions. 

Judson weighs about 24 lbs and wears anything from 18-24 month clothes! 

He can make anything into a hat!! 

 

 Judson has brought so much laughter, love and busyness to our lives! We continue to be in awe at the love these two sweet boys have for each other. We are so very blessed!! 

Happy Halloween

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!  We had a great time with our two SUPER Hero's.  Cole decided a couple of months ago, when those pesky costume magazines start arriving, that he and Judson would be Super Hero's.  But not just any ordinary hero, he wanted to use his Super Cole cape and wanted one for Judson too.  Thanks to a best friend of mine and her mom, we made that happen!  Thanks Becca and Kay...I know they will play in these for a LONG time!! 

We started out of Halloween to Levi's parents and stopped at one of our only neighbors.  Between those two houses the boys buckets were already full of candy!  We always have a pic taken at photomakers (he does a great job), and then off to meet all the cousins at GoGo's!!  We made a few more stops and ended the night eating pizza at mom and dads! 

Super Judson

Super Cole

Almost Perfect!!

This is how the first 15 pictures looked...

The boys had a great time...Cole would say..."trick or treat, can I please have a treat!"  Just precious!!  Judson, well he just wanted to go inside every one's house!  Hope you enjoy the pics, I am a crazy picture taker...there is your warning!!
