September 2018

We did it...we survived our first year! We officially have 2 ONE YEAR OLDS!

September has been full of soccer, school, and celebrations!

Tinsley is doing great.  Even though she had to celebrate her first birthday with the flu and an ear infection, she was a trooper.  She walks everywhere, is super silly, always giggles, is still high maintenance but so much fun.  She loves to eat and dance.  She also LOVES dogs.  She is still the tiniest of the family, weighing 19lbs, 7oz (48%) and is 29.75 inches tall (75%).

Conner is also doing great.  He walks everywhere, even tries to run a bit.  He always smiles and is just a happy guy. He loves to eat and dance and also really loves dogs too.  He is still our giant baby, weighing 22 lbs, 1oz(70%) and is 32 inches tall (>98%).  Such a tall and skinny guy!  Hard to believe they are twins when he is 3 lbs heavier and 3 inches taller than her!  And to think she was bigger at birth!

We had a great weekend celebrating the big birthday. Of course the weekend was full of soccer.  5 games to be exact.  Sullivan and Thomas had 1 each and Hudson had 3, as she was playing in a local tournament.  But we were able to squeeze all those games in and follow them up with a fun pool party - of course mixed in with the outer bands of a hurricane....but a little rain never stopped anyone from swimming right?

The Twins and all of their "big brothers and sisters"
A big cake and 2 Smash cakes
Conner was slightly interested in his cake....until everyone started to sing Happy Birthday to him...and then well...not so much
Tinsley wanted nothing to do with her cake....it might have been the 104 fever and Flu we didn't know about at the time...
After the party the twins got to open their presents. They especially love their new cars!  They will ride in these all day long if someone will push them!



Of course we have played a lot of soccer this month. Thomas is doing great and gets a little bit more into it with each game.  Although he much prefers to give his friends hugs....he does kick the ball every once in a while.

Sullivan's team is battling every game. They are playing mostly fourth graders and after a few ties and a couple losses, they finally got their first win this past weekend!  It was a great game!  Hudson is still playing well.  After a few rained out weekends, she has her next game coming up this weekend and a few tournaments left in the fall season. Including a trip to Memphis which she is so excited about!

We also wrapped up the month with everyone's favorite Crievewood Baptist Block Party!  It is such a fun (and all free) event!  The kids wait for it every year!  It was a day full of face paint, balloon animals, snow cones and of course the photo booth!

That is about all for now!  We are on our way into October which will include more soccer and of course another big birthday celebration!

Here are the rest of our adventures in September:
