The Hewys: Hello.... Let's play a little catch up.

We went to the Santa's Work Shop and Hudson went on the Big Train! He was so in ahww.

It was cute!

While they went around the work shop I had a great view of this little girl.

Someone got her EARS did!

And was very dramatic about it!

Hudson was concerned for a minute and then he focused back on the fact that if he was a good boy then he would get a treat.

Between Adelaide getting her ears pierced and Hudson watching,

The one that DIDN'T get their ears pierced was worse then the one that did.

Can we say inpatient?

Squishy Squishy!

My cousin CJ got his Mission Call to Colorado Spring. He leaves January 16th, 2013.

Crazy and so proud of him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MEGAN. I'm so grateful to have her as my best friend and I love her so much.

Megan and Cam brought over some games.

Which if you asked me, made the Birthday party a lot funner!

It brought out the good and the bad in us.

The Olson family and the H Families were able to see each other's true colors! LOL.

My little China Doll.

Lets talk about cuteness right here!!!!

I know my mom isn't going to like these pictures, but it just shows our inner competitor.

"I wonder where I get it from?"

Oh Man is my mom a poor sport! She was losing and so she garbed her Fignewtons and threw them at me..."talk about true colors."

It was a pretty good show.

I'm sure the Olson family were a little surprised by our actions!

Hudson wanted to try.

Isn't my sissy so pretty?

Happy Birthday to you!

Oooh Mom stop taking picture of my legs!

Kisses for Hudson and Adelaide before Dada goes to work.

We give this to all our kids.

(Not)

I found this cute Gold feather on Pinterest.

I had to make one for my sissy's Birthday!

It's way cute and easy, Hudson even helped.

We went up to my cute sister in-law's family cabin.
It was so fun. Chris had to work, so Megan came in his place.
The funneist part about Megan coming, is that she invited herself.. I had thought about it but wasn't sure if I should ask Meg or the Hewards first. Megan helped me out, she found out I was going and called me back up and asked, "Mandee could I come up to the cabin?" Phew, I was so HAPPY she asked cause then I knew who to call after that. I was pretty sure Mikey would say yes... Mikey is so chillaxed and is like... the more the merrier kind of girl.
So off we went.

It was the funniest ride. Hannah cried, Hudson was making noise none stop, and Adelaide was chillen most of the time but with only a few grunts.
We left around 4ish, so by the time we got up to the cabin it was dark and Hudson was a little worried about the Spooooky trees.
Did I mention that Megan and I are special... to each other that is!

Peek-A-Boo...Scoti!

S'mores anyone?

This little town was adorable. I love old houses!

And anything that looks like it would be a good Photo shoot spot.

When we were coming home there was a couple of cows out in the middle of the road, so I use my cow talk to tell them to "moooove over!"

"Yes I'm a dork."

He just came up to Chris and I and said, "Dad Hudson hold Adee?"
"Another melt my heart moment!"

We went as the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
I LOVE Halloween! I had some costumes planned out from last year since I knew Adelaide was going to be a girl, but when Chris came home this year and said he had to work Halloween I was super bummed. So I thought of some new Family Halloween Costumes for us that we could do without dad.
So the costumes I was planning on doing will have to wait for next October.
I was racking my brain and I finally thought we'll go as the Grinch! My Mom thinks I do a pretty good impression of the Grinch. I knew I wouldn't need Chris to make it all work out.
Chris then came home a week before Halloween and said he switch with a girl at work so he could be with us for Halloween!
"Shoot, but Yeah!"
That's when I thought he should, and would be the Mayor of Who-Ville.
It wouldn't have been the same if the Mayor was not part of our Family Costume.
I'm so glad the Mayor of Who-Ville could join us!

My Mother in-law Jan did a cute little Halloween party for the Family. It was really fun to have most of the family there. Mikey, Chad and Scoti have been bouncing back and forth from St.George and Richfield, so we haven't seen them to much, but way more then I thought. They are troopers to come down or go up on a whim with hardly any notice. I don't think I could do what they do. So it was fun to have them at the Halloween party! We bobbed for apples and doughnuts on a string and decorated cookies!

So we went as hunters, cause I didn't want to put us in our full Who's costumes since Halloween was the next day!

So Hudson is a little bit of a turd... he likes to knee drive his sister when she is laying down.

I can't always stop it."This is why she is going to be a tough cookie.

"But he is sure cute to her also! Thank goodness!"

This is why women have more then one kid.

This melts a mother's heart!!!

I love this little doll!

We went over to my Mom's Husband's house and did a little pumpkin carving.

We had a lot of fun. So many fun pumpkins carved!

Hudson is a funny boy, he HATES for his hands to be dirty.. and I'm a bit of a texture person, so he just might have a problem his whole life...LOL.

Chris just being Chris!

My little old man!

Hudson doing the Pee Pee Dance.

"Oh yeah.. oh yeah Hudson went pee-pee in the potty Hudson awesome, Hudson cool!!"

Hey You!

We always go to Frei's Market and pick out pumpkins.

Hudson LOVED it this year sooo much!

Grandma Laidlaw put some pumpkins in her courtyard. The problem with that is ... Hudson has a LITTLE obsession with pumpkins. "OK a BIG obsession."

So he gathered them all up out of the various spots Grandma had picked out and he went and lined them up out on the sidewalk for everyone to see them!

"I LOVE YOU HUDSON!!"
