November 2015

Happy 6 Months!

Hard to believe that this guy is already 6 months old! He has been such an easy, happy baby...we are truly blessed! He now weighs 17 lbs, 13 oz (60%) and is 27 3/4 inches long (96%). He is the smallest of all our kiddos...crazy since he was the biggest at birth! He is rolling all over, sitting up by himself, eating baby food and loves puffs and baby crackers. He really can't get enough food! Haha.

November has been a pretty quiet month. After the madness of Halloween, it was nice to have some down time before the Holiday season hits!

We did take some time to Celebrate Thomas' Baptism. It was a great weekend. SueSue, BooBoo, Uncle Pace (aka - The Godfather), PJ and Reedo were able to make the trip up for the weekend (we missed Auntie Leens and Chuck who couldn't make it due to lacrosse games). Of course the girls LOVED having the boys here and they made the most of it with a trip to Jumpstreet, playing outside ALL DAY and s'mores by the fire while watching football. Sunday morning Thomas was baptized at First Presbyterian Church and we had a great brunch at Mere Bulles afterward. Grandma and Grandpa Frericks and Aunt Macy also joined us. It was a great day.

Thomas' Baptism Day

We haven't had much else going on this month. We have enjoyed the crazy warm weather though. The girls pretty much play outside all day everyday which is awesome. We have 12 kids under the age of 9 on our street so there is never a dull moment and you don't have to go far to find friends to play with.

Thanksgiving was great. Grandma and Grandpa came down for the day. The girls played outside ALL day with their buddies across the street and we had a delicious meal. I was even able to sneak away for some Thursday night shopping - I know I am crazy but I have to say...it was not as crazy as usual. I even recruited our new neighbor to shop with me on Black Friday. It was her first Black Friday outing and she was sorely disappointed with how boring and uneventful it was.

Crazy Crew!

That is about all for now. The girls are SOOO excited or Christmas. We plan to decorate the house this week and get our tree on Saturday! So let the Holiday begin!

October 2015

Happy 5 Months to this guy!

October is becoming not only the busiest month of the year but also the most fun. Between soccer, Hudson's Birthday, Fall fun and Halloween, we always seem to have a FULL but FUN month.

We wrapped up the soccer seasons this month. In the last games of the season, Sobes scored a goal and brought home a giant black eye along with her trophy and Hudson scored FOUR goals. It was a great season.

We celebrated Hudson's birthday for about a week. She had 2 school celebrations, a birthday party, a birthday dinner in Nashville (Waffle House of course) and a birthday dinner in Bowling Green (at her other favorite - Chuy's). She also had a great gymnastics party with such a fun group of friends.

After soccer and Hudson's birthday celebrations, we were able to sneak in a trip to Bowling Green which was a lot of fun. We took the Scarecrow Tour at Lost River Cave and also went to Jackson Orchard for some fall fun. We were also able to get out to Shuckle's Pumpkin Patch to get our pumpkins, take a hayride and do the corn maze. It was a fun, although rainy, day!

Halloween was a big deal this year. Both girls wanted to be cheerleaders so we went with a football theme. Other then the kids being super cute, I have to say Makers stole the show. She was our "football" and every time I look at the picture, it makes me laugh. She was such a good sport. The girls had a big time trick-or-treating and handing out candy all night. Hudson hit every single street in our neighborhood and loved every second.

Below are a few pictures of our adventures and the past month.
