September 2011

 
 

Jason's best friend from high school, Rick Ramage turns 30 this year on September 9th.  We celebrated a few days early last Saturday with a party at Fat Jack's Bar and Grill in Texarkana.  The theme was 30 sucks and there were lots of cute suckers with labels and Razorback cupcakes.  I think Rick is always wearing some form of  Razorback memorabilia.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

WAGON RIDES!
...have become our weeknight routine since it has cooled off in late August-early September.  We take the boys for a 'wagon ride'.  Holden doesn't mind being buckled in, and Hudson buckles himself in so it works out perfectly. We have had lots of mosquitos in the yard, so this is one way we get outside and avoid them, and we've met a lot of our neighbors on our wagon rides.  Molly and Patrick live down the street and have two boys as well about the same ages as ours.  Molly is an OT and Patrick is a PT.  Our neighbors across the street are Mark and Stephanie.  Mark is a PTA and Stephanie is a pediatric dentist and they have a 15 month old named Luke (he's a month older than Holden), and today (9-7) I found out that our neighbors just a little ways down the street Marcie and Rory have two boys as well Ashton age 3, and Weston age 5 weeks!  Hudson really enjoyed playing at their house and told a story at bedtime about going over to play again!  He really wants to jump on their trampoline.  Another benefit of our rides is the exercise!  Jason and I take turns pulling these heavy boys.  Hudson weighs a little over 41 pounds and Holden weighs about 25 now. Man, they are awesome.  The 'two sweet boys' is what I always call them, and they truly live up to that.  What a beautiful little mix of Jason and I. They've also been playing in the sprinklers a lot since Jason has been trying to save a patch of grass he burned last year. 
The bottom photos are Labor Day.  We had dinner at Bleu Monkey with my mom, Pat, and Lacy on the patio.  It was very windy but nice and came home and played in the yard.  Mom got the boys new digs at a new store called Grow in town. 

 

We took the boys to their 1st Razorback tailgate in Little Rock.  It was Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Troy on Sept 10th 2011. We took the boys in the wagon and it was a perfect day.  They had a wonderful time.  We did not get to go to the game but that was okay with us!  We were worn out from hanging out with the Kappa Sig's and at mom and Pat's new tailgate spot with Drew and his friend Tyler.  Maddox and Hudson played football on the grass.  They had so much fun tackling one another and trying to catch the ball.  Above Holden is wearing his D-mack (Darren McFadden jersey), courtesy of his cousin Jack Morris.
