Yes, Another Pumpkin Patch... :)

Yes, it appears The Brown's can't get enough of the Pumpkin Patch(s) this year! But this time we went w/ some of our BEST friends here in C'ville (the Harms, Fisher's, and Hines families). We ALL have boys around the exact same age... so it made for a FUN day! Afterwards, we went to Jill/Luke's (Harms) house for dinner! Robin and I made Stromboli... it was delicious! And Jill made Chimichanga's for DESSERT... incredible! Sadly, while most of our friends up here in the "north" are not SEC fans... I did sit and watch the AUBURN game (with Robin and Brad)... WAR EAGLE!!! :)

I must say... this kind of thing (petting zoo, corn maze, pumpkin patches, etc..) is SO MUCH fun w/ Hudson! I'm loving this age! It just seems like last year we had so much going on w/ moving, Brad transferring territories, leaving my job, etc... that the FALL just slipped away. I'm VERY thankful we're able to really enjoy it this year... and Hudson is TOO!! :) :)

I LITERALLY fell in the barrel of pumpkins... glad they were there to catch my FALL!! haha!! ;)

Happy Friday!! :)

I apologize for these pictures... they're not my best but I wanted to show a typical afternoon for Hudson... he absolutely LOVES the kids on our street! And to our delight... the kids LOVE him just as much!! These are just 2 of the 10 kids on the street... sadly there are no toddlers but he actually prefers the older kids!? It appears that Hudson THINKS he's older than he really is... haha! ;)

Happy Friday! ;)

Have you thought about the DASH on your tombstone??

I know you may not have alot of time but when you do... please read this post of my friend back in MS... her husband is the small groups pastor at our old church in Mississippi... I'm blown away!! I've never thought about the DASH on our tombstone?!?!

HaPpY FALL Y'ALL!!!! :)

Well, it seems no matter where you live it's that wonderful (my favorite!) time of YEAR...FALL!!! It's all about harvest, apples, pumpkins, HaLLoWeeN, beautiful leaves, cooler temperatures (a "perk" to living in VA ;), a warm fire, cute fashion (boots, scarves, etc... ;) ), "hearty" food/recipes, FOOTBALL and the HOLIDAYS fast approaching...how can you not LLOOOVVEEE this time of year!?!? :) Just a few pictures to go along w/ my post... so from our home to yours... HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!! :)

If Hudson could name his best friend... I'm pretty sure he'd say RILEY, the neighbors DOG!!!! :) I know, I know... Hudson needs a dog!

A "peek" into our night time...

Hudson loves books...he's actually completely entertained by books with bright and colorful "objects" and of course, ANIMALS (animal books are his favorite!!). In this first picture... Hudson brought me his book and positioned himself just perfectly on my FACE for storytime...haha!!! ;)

In this picture we are "GROWLING" like a BEAR... is it obvious how MUCH I LOVE my son??!! :)

CCCHHHHHEEEESSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!! :)

Hudson has been putting our cell phones and even remote controls (that look like phones) up to his EYES or forehead (the forehead is the funniest) and saying..."eeeesssssseeeeee"(aka--CHEESE)!! That's what we tell him when we're trying to take a picture... I was finally able to "catch" him in action but this time he didn't have the phones/remote... haha!!! :)

Our good friends Jill and Ethan came over this morning for a little playdate... Hudson NEVER goes willingly into his "playpen" but Ethan LOVED it so Hudson wanted to join him... :) It was nice for .5 seconds until they wanted out...running all over the place! And YES-- Ethan is wearing GAP skinny jeans for boys... :) so cute!

Apple Festival!!! :)

We attended the annual Apple Festival today at Carter's Mountain (near Monticello)... we could not have been MORE "unprepared" for the crowd of people... I think everyone from the entire STATE of Virginia was there at the SAME time!!! :)

The first picture is of Hudson outside playing in the cool fall air... it felt AMAZING (49 degrees) this morning!!

FUN pumpkin pictures... the line was soooo long we didn't buy a pumpkin but we'll get one SOON! I have our entire house decorated for FALL so Hudson is able to enjoy the "fake" ones!! ;)

We DID buy the delicious Apple DONUTS, apples, cider, and "baby" pumpkins... it was a perfect day to enjoy the Autumn "festivities"!! :)
