Our Mud Dog!

Back in June I decided to sign Rylan up to play soccer this Fall. In August we got notice that he had been put on a team, but unfortunately the team didn't have a coach. So, with a little bit of pushing I was able to convince Cody that he should coach soccer to a bunch of 3 year olds! Ha! Of course Cody would do anything for Rylan so he became the head coach of the U4 Mud Dogs soccer team. They have had 2 games so far, and I have laughed so hard I've cried watching these little boys "play" soccer. Of course at this age there is no skill involved. It's just a bunch of kids running around trying to get to the ball. They have no concept of staying in bounds, and 9 times out of 10 they are going the wrong direction...but they are having fun!

Action shot...good kick buddy!

I love that he smiles as he runs after the ball!

Soccer coach of the year!

Such red little cheeks. It was very hot outside!

Go Rylan!

Again...smiling as he goes after the ball.

Hudson Is ONE!!

Hudson actually turned 1 on the September 2nd, but we had his party on the 4th. For his birthday party I decided to do a "fire truck" theme. I even found a company to bring out a fire truck shaped bounce house! It was such a fun afternoon with friends and family! I know Hudson won't remember any of it, but it sure was fun!

I CANNOT believe it has already been an entire year since I had Hudson. He has truly completed our family. Hudson is my laid back, go-with-the-flow baby. I love that he still loves for me to carry him everywhere. He may be one, but I'm not quite ready to let go of my little baby! He smiles from the minute he wakes up to the minute he goes to bed. My blond haired baby completely melts my heart each and every day. Just when I think there is no possible way I could love him any more...I do!

His precious cake! A little bakery here in Wylie created this, and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect cake for his fire truck birthday!

The cake table all set up.

Hudson's smash cake.

Again, I have been that mom that hasn't allowed my kid to have any kind of sugar until his first birthday. This was literally his first taste of any kind of dessert! Can you tell he enjoyed it?!

He couldn't shove it in his mouth fast enough!
