Yes, I know that lots of these pictures have "issues." I took a photography class for moms last month to begin to learn how to take manual photos using natural light instead of relying on the automatic settting and flash. This is the easiest way for my teacher to view pictures about which I have specific setting/focus/lighting questions.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!




Jay's good friend, Neil, had a birthday party that included a ride on the Christmas train. We tagged along with the while crew! It was a fun time experiencing the train, seeing Santa, & singing carols.


At the Bellview Breakfast with Santa, we were walking down the hall when we saw some amazing artwork! Jay's class painted using line & pattern in the style of Matisse. He is pointing to his masterpiece!




Christmas Preparations!

Ready for the Christmas program at church

In 1010, the Hudgins family loaded up in the four wheeled drive sleigh and went in search of the perfect tree. Daddy wanted to take the boys to a tree farm!
Setting off on our search

After much looking, finding of holes, declarations of "too short," etc., we found the perfect one! Now, to cut it down....





Thanksgiving!

We were excited that Uncle Matt came to spend several days with us at Thanksgiving!
He played lots of football & Legos!


We set up the camera to take a Thanksgiving picture of everyone : )

These 2 were best buddies. We lost count of hot many times Caleb jumped on Matt and the tickle bomb went off!





More Fall!













Fall!

Caleb is discovering that Micah is pretty fun to play with!
He is also a super-duper handfull!


These boys have loved roaming the hunting land.

But, probably not quite as much as Daddy has loved taking them there!





Birthdays! How can they be 7 & 5 already?



Jay's cake choice was race cars!

They asked their friends to bring underwear, toothbrushes & toothpaste, candy, etc. for the mission teams from NWA to take to the kids in Haiti. They were so excited to count 209 pair of underwear, a sack FULL of toothbrushes/paste & one full of candy. We LOVE these boys so much.
At the end of October, the boys had a Mad Science party with lots of their friends. The kids really enjoyed the crazy experiments that he did and loved the interactive demonstrations.

Caleb chose a pirate cake!





Little Rock Air Show!







Over Caleb's birthday weekend, we headed to Jacksonville, AR for the Little Rock AFB airshow. It was a 2 day event, featuring lots of air performances and ground displays, including the famous Thunderbirds. These boys had a blast! Daddy & Mommy kinda enjoyed it as well!!




Upward Football!



Jay had another great year of flag football! We love the Upward program with church. Daddy helped our friend, Al, coach again. Hayden & Jay are big buddies.
