Pumpkin Patch

Our Halloween pumpkins have been chosen. And, contrary to Judd's face in this picture, the kids are thrilled. How are the costumes coming, you might ask? yeah.....better get on that.....

Two years old!

Its Judd's Birthday! He's two years old today.

Last night Grandma Chris, Grandpa Brian, Uncle Greg and Aunt Stephanie helped us celebrate with dinner and chocolate zucchini cupcakes (i know, its almost like we were cheating in the birthday cake area. Can it really commemorate the day if there is a veggie in it? They were delicious though....and i used up some of my garden's zucchini that is threatening to overtake my fridge. So, overall, clever? i think so!)

Grandma, Judd and Grandpa.
If you didn't notice, the cupcakes were sport balls and the fancy artwork hiding behind Judd in this pic is actually his pinata (we can't wait for Taryn and Evie to come over tomorrow and help us break it!). We were trying for a little bit of a theme here.....okay....a VERY little bit.

Its been a fun couple of days. Though I have to admit, there is just the tiniest element of sadness for me in this happy birthday. I remember when my little boy was my first sweet baby. He has grown up and become smart, funny and loving (remind me to tell the library story...:)). I love him dearly. Happy Birthday my little man!
