Football and FUN!!!

While Brad and my dad went to the UVA vs. Miami game... my mom and I took Hudson to Carter's Mtn...more pumpkins, apples, etc.. Ya'll know how much I LOVE the "fall stuff"!! haha! ;)

Well...I'm sad to say that Brad's team (Georgia Bulldogs) LOST today... it was an awful way to lose!  Tied 31-31.. went in to over-time and LOST to a field goal kick..isn't that the WORST??!!  Even though I'm NOT a "bulldawg" fan... I did feel bad for the dawgs to lose that way!!  Here Hudson is getting excited wearing his GA jersey that his Grandaddy (Brad's dad) bought him! 
And as much as I'm trying to be "humble" my #1 TEAM (in the COUNTRY)... AUBURN won again TODAY! :) Auburn 51  Ole Miss 31 ... WAR EAGLE!!!! ;) "Lights, Cameron, Action"... Seriously, y'all have to ADMIT... Cam Newton is a STUD!!!! ;) ;)

A MUCH needed DaTe NiGhT!!!

While Bee and Dee (my parents) were in town this week/weekend... Brad and I went on a MUCH needed date night!! ;) We went to a local winery and had some delicious WINE and CHEESE/sausage...and then went to dinner in Crozet (b/c DUMBama was in C'ville)...it was a wonderful night and I'm so thankful Brad and I were able to go!!! ;) Thanks Bee and Dee!!

Enjoying my WINE, amazing cheese (and I'm not even that crazy about cheese), and sausage! YUM!

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!!!!!!

FINALLY... this video uploaded!! I have been trying since Saturday... this is in HONOR of Saturday morning/College GAMEDAY (WAR EAGLE)!!! ;) Hudson was having a "paci" kind of morning... and PLEASE excuse our house... it was Saturday morning and Hudson was having a blast with all his toys!! ;)

My latest "creation"...

I don't know if this is "worth" blogging about but I'm so excited I was finally able to make the "pumpkin" cake I found in a PARENT magazine! It definitely does NOT look like the picture in the magazine but at least I tried... and it tasted delicious!! ;)

I remember my mom always having special traditions with festive place mats, specific recipes for a certain time of year/holiday, etc.. so I may be making this PUMPKIN cake around HaLLoWeeN every year... hopefully I can "perfect" it!!! ;) haha!!

A little "pre" HaLLoWeeN FUN!!! ;)

Charlottesville always has alot to offer young families, kids, etc... Saturday was the annual trick-or-treating at the downtown mall... we had a great time! Here is Hudson with our little friend, Maddie (Amanda and Joe's precious little girl).

Hudson and Jack as adorable little Lion cubs... and no, we did not purposely buy the same costume (we both knew we bought Lion costumes but had no idea it was the same one!!) haha!! ;)

I was proud of Hudson for wearing his costume...we put it on him about a month ago and he screamed... so it was a NICE surprise to see him wear it with such "pride"... I'll probably paint on "whiskers" for HaLLoWeeN!! TOO CUTE!! :) Oh yeah... WAR EAGLE!!! I'm soooo proud of Auburn... WOOHOO!!!! ;) ;)

Saturday morning "ritual"

Hudson knows exactly what he wants... he's extremely "opinionated"! He goes everywhere with "purpose"... including outside! Sometimes he goes straight to the trampoline, or the neighbors house, or playground, etc... but it seems like Saturday mornings (when daddy's home)... he wants the WAGON!!! ;)

My friend Robin knows how much I love pumpkins and "festive" clothing for Hudson... she bought H this adorable jack-o-lantern hoodie!! Such a sweet and thoughtful friend... THANKS ROBIN!!!! ;)

Stay tuned... I recorded a very funny/cute video of Hudson and Brad playing football this morning but I'm having a difficult time uploading it... URGH...

Hudson's FiRsT "real" haircut!! :)

How cute is this place?? It's called "Snip Its".. an adorable little children's barber shop that just opened!! I've given Hudson a little mommy "trim" TWICE.. and I thought I did a VERY good job...that is until it started growing back?! I started realizing how "choppy" his hair looked... so needless to say he needed a little "professional" haircut!! The lady (Jessica) did a GREAT job and Hudson seemed to LOVE IT!! :)

Doesn't he look so "grown up" in the chair... :(

He spotted the animal crackers in the cookie jar... he's eating and watching the baby!! So cute!! ;)

He got a PRIZE for being such a good little "customer"!! ;)
