Happy Birthday Maddi!

We celebrated Maddi's birthday last night, her 23rd birthday! She wore the funny sombrero and we serenaded her.

After presents, which Hudson opened for her, the boys helped her blow out her candles....a couple times so they each got a chance. It's their favorite thing to do!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDI-FADDI! WE LOVE YOU!

Sniff!

Pax and Hudson were coloring and making cards, and Pax decided to take a little sniff of the smelly marker.

Frosting on a finger...

The boys were having their nighttime snack, a brownie, when Hudson said to Paxton..."Here, lick my finger, you'll like it." I took a doubletake, making sure it was frosting on his finger :) And Paxton licked away!

Then he gave some to Bella too!

Silly-ness, brownies, and Logie!!!

NERD!...Take 2

Paxton has a fascination with Grandma's glasses and is always walking around wearing them...even if they are upside down!

You may remember Hudson doing the same thing when he was 1 year old!

Big boy in a little seat.....

Once in awhile, usually when we order Happy Joe's, we eat in the living room. And this big boy still sits in his booster seat!

ice cream

After jammies were on, the boys endulged in some Confetti Cake ice cream and both thoroughly enjoyed it!

Clown or Vampire??

Hudsy thought he was so funny putting the clown nose on with his vampire costume.

Halloween Night

We started out the evening trick-or-treating in the daylight and ended it by moonlight. Hudson enjoyed going house to house, and to our surprise, he politely said "Trick-or-Treat" and thank you.

Paxton, also known as "the sick duck" came along on Daddy's hip. He was quiet, just a few sniffles here and there.
Can you see the excitement in their faces?? Ha.

Mommy and her sick duck. Funny though, he perked right up after a few pieces of candy and bazillion suckers!

We stopped at daycare for a special treat and a quick hello to friends.

Pumpkin Carving

Hudson has been waiting to carve our pumpkins and was so excited that the day was finally here. He was a big help too, poking the holes for Grandma and Daddy.

And taking a few stabs at his own mini-pumpkin.

The finished products; Daddy's mummy and wolf, and Grandma's witch.

All with help from Hudsy!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2011!!!

1st Sleepover

Hudson went on his first ever sleepover....to Grandma's house! He was so excited! Spent about a half an hour trying to convince Grandma that it was the perfect night for it, then he packed his suitcase with about 10 different sleeping buddies and blankets, 2 pairs of undies, jammies, clothes for the next day, and he was ready to go! Barely waving good-bye as he got in the car.....

And when I called him this morning, he told he was going to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's forever and he didn't miss us at all :(

Courtland Halloween Party

Our second Halloween party of the season was in Courtland. Poor Pax wasn't feeling the greatest but just didn't want to stay home and miss it either, so he came along, rosy-red cheeks and runny nose!

Hudson's famous "tongue sticking out" stradegy he uses for concentration.

The Nordby kids again!
Pax stirring the pot.

These 2 monkeys crawled all around the fire truck!

ECFE Halloween Party 2011

We went to the big Halloween party at Jefferson School and it was a hit! Surprisingly, they both wore their costumes....willingly! And both wanted their faces painted! Hudson with black lips and PRETEND blood, and Paxton with an orange beak. They were adorable!!!!!!!

Meet Hudson the Vampire and Paxton the Duck....

By far, Paxton's favorite activity was the bouncy house! Jamie had to crawl in and pull him out!
Hudson's bowling stance/crouch.

Playing "Pin the Nose on the Jack-o-lantern" and I was cracking up because he really did keep his eyes closed the whole time, and kept asking, "Is this right? Am I close?"

Quickly posing for Mom.

Throwing the piggy beanbags. Poor Pax, his duck legs were riding up most of the night.

Once again this year, Hudson loved the puppy, Fetch!

And we met the Nordby's there. Brody the Cheetah......

And Brenley the Cutest Poodle! Pax and Bren ran around holding hands....the most adorable moment of the night!

Instead of napping....

Grandma watched the boys this week, and while Paxton napped, Hudsy and Grandma got busy.

They cleaned out pumpkins.

And baked a Halloween cake!

Pax at school....

Paxton had another night of ECFE on Tuesday and he just HAD to wear his sunglasses to class! He painted with corn cobs...

and played in the table while Mommy tried to scare him with spiders. Didn't work, he laughed!

Sprinkled Eyeballs

I found a couple Halloween treat recipes to make with the boys this year and we tried the first one out tonight. They were meant to be eyeballs made from donut holes, but that got a little complicated so we just decided to sprinkle them like crazy!

And Paxton sprinkled himself like crazy!

Visiting the Nordby's

I took the boys to meet Baby Bayler on Sunday. The perfect little boy napped the entire while we were there. Pax and Hudson just peeked in on him every once in awhile.

Paxton gave Brenley an impromptu hug and I happened to catch it on camera!
Ryan took the kids on a golf cart ride on the trails.

Boys doing boy things. Hudson said we couldn't leave until they picked up ALL the sticks!

Severs Corn Maze & Fall Festival

This Johnson family of 4 went to Severs Corn Maze and Fall Festival this afternoon and had a wonderful day! The boys had so much taking in all the activities. Their favorite, by fa,r was the corn pit and we spent an hour in there alone; jumping, digging, diving, and burying!! I'll let the pictures tell the story of our fun day.......

The "camel guy" felt sorry for Pax crying on the sidelines and let him ride on the camel with us.
