{2 wild & crazy guys}

So, I was trying to get a photo of the kiddos for the annual Christmas card.  That was a positive experience...let me tell you!  Three of the four were down with the task.  The fourth (won't mention any names) was in full drama mode.  He could have won an Oscar for the performance he gave! I'm sure you will be able to tell who it was when you get your card.  Anyway, these two guys were full of the silly's (like usual) so I snapped a few of them.  My camera was still on manual from trying to get a portrait of the crew, and I didn't have time to adjust for there act. The fire hydrant was their inspiration.

Huds worst nightmare just came true....an unexpected wipe out!

"DAD...let's go home now!"


I will post more photos of Refugio soon but had to get these gems on  ASAP.  Classic Hudson! 

{8-2-day}

Hapyy birthday Lu Lu! We had so much fun with you today! Going to lunch, having some sweet treats, and fishing with the family was a blast.  Way to live in the moment girl.  We could all learn something from you. Thanks for being such a sweetie. xo

sushi for lunch...yummy

thanks for always giving me a good shot

Parker

{Dress Up}

This is Hudson playing dress up.  He starts off by disappearing into his brothers room and quitely shuts the door.  Once her emerges, there is usually a request to help him with a belt or pad or something of that nature.  This is an example of his football dress up.  During baseball season, you might see slider shorts with a belt around them and some baseball socks.  It is quite the look...let me tell you.  I will try to get a photo of that in the spring.  Poor guy isn't old enough to play on a team so he lives through his brothers closet and drawers.

{me playing}

I took these photos of Lu back in October of 2010.  I came across them the other day and decided to play around with them.  This is my idea of playing :)  I have some of Parker too that I will post at some point.

{hanging around}

Just hanging around the baseball fields.



After a baseball game, the kids like to run around the field and get nice and chalky.  Lu goes all out!



Pman hanging too

Porter made this hair design on Hud

Hang loose!

A "rare" photo of Porter.  He is the MASTER of dodging the camera.

Pancake Fiesta at Paul Ecke Central. Kids love this day!

Lu and classmate Joey



{some sport photos}

All the Albino Pickles helmets.  Lu's 8U team won second place in their division.  She is done with softball....for now.

Parker playing 3rd base.  I will try to get more photos of him.  It is hard to get any because at his level you can't be on the field (super dangerous).  I got this one becasue someone propped open the gate a little and I snapped a couple photos.  He has been playing a lot of 3rd base, center field, and catcher.  Those games are fun to watch!



Porter pitching and hitting for the Minor B Phillies.  Those are the only 2 times he isn't bored with baseball.

{#3 on the Albino Pickles}

Lu Lu's first season of real softball!  She is playing in the 8U division of SDYS.  She has a bunch of friends on the team and me as Team Mom.  Good times! I will try to get some photos of the boys too.  Park is playing on the Giants in the Majors division of ELL and Port is playing for the Phillie's in the Minor B division. Hudson is busy cheering everyone on, frequenting the snack bars and playing with his buddies at the fields.
