Wrestlemania

This event happens pretty regularly at our house. The sanctioned fights take place roughly twice a week in the evenings with the returning champions being Hudson and Cameron defend their title against the bigger and scragglier Dan. Sometimes the match becomes hardcore when Hudson and Cameron find golf clubs and swords to defend their title. The tag team, even though small, are very strong and scrappy and have yet to lose.

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day we planned on going to Tulsa to visit Dan's family. Before the trip I decided to clean the van out a little bit before we left and had the boys in the van helping me. While I was cleaning, the boys must have been pushing some buttons and left something on unknown to me and Dan. Once we got the car loaded up and the boys strapped in, we try to start the car to go and couldn't get it started. The battery was dead. We quickly moved everything in the second garage to pull Dan's car in to jump the battery. We got it working, drove to the gas station and headed on our way. We drove nonstop til we got to Atoka about the halfway point. We stopped to get snacks and use the restroom. When we got back to the car, the battery was dead again. Luckily a man was nice enough to jump the car for us. It took it a little while to get it started and we weren't going to stop until we go to Aunt Betty's house at this point. Once we go to Okmulgee, about 30+ minutes from Tulsa, the car starts to loose power whenever it becomes idle. So every time Dan got to a stop light he had to throw it in neutral and gun it. When we got to Tulsa, we never stopped for fear of our car dying. Luckily Uncle Bruce is super handy and took Dan immediately to get a battery and replaced it for us and the van was as good as new.

After barely safely making it there, we enjoyed the time we were going to have with family. We ate dinner with everyone on Friday night. On Saturday we woke up early and went to the Tulsa zoo. It was suppose to rain that day, but it ended up being absolutely perfect. The boys had so much fun running around and looking at all the animals. Cameron and I got to ride a camel named Sarah. Surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, just bumpy. I think it was a toss up between the camel ride, train ride, and the carousel for Cameron's favorite thing. Hands down the carousel ride was Hudson's favorite. He had gotten tired of looking at animals and almost fell asleep, but as soon as he got on the shark he woke right up and had a blast. The boys both crashed before we made it back to the freeway. They were wiped out from all the fun.

That evening we got together to eat again and attempted to take pictures of the boys with grandmom and granddad. Needless to stay we tried again on Sunday to make sure we got a good one. I believe Papa Curt got a good one at http://www.danbecky.com/. On Sunday we spent the day with Betty, Bruce, Lauren and Alex just relaxing and going to church. It was nice not having to rush right home after worship services. On Monday morning we got up and met grandmom, granddad, grammy and papa for breakfast. Cameron order french toast and ate almost all of it because he had whip cream to dip it in. After breakfast we headed on our way back to Betty and Bruce's where the boys were surprised with a travel bag of goodies to take with them. They loved it. After saying good byes we ventured on our way home. This time we made it without any hitches. For more pictures of our trip check the upcoming folder on the left, yes I'll update the albums asap. =)

Park Playdate

The first Thursday in September we had our playdate at the Kid's Kastle. The boys had so much fun with all of their friends from church. Hudson really loved playing this time. He's favorite part was the bridge. He would run across it and jump up and down. Cameron's favorite part was finding a spiderman ring that he wore the rest of the time. After playing we went to eat with Emma and Mrs. Cam. The boys had so much fun spending the day with their friends.

Climber

Hudson now has become a problem solver. He will find an object, preferably a stool, and carry it to the point of interest. He will then use it to reach whatever it is that has been purposely placed out of his reach. If a stool can't be found, pillows stacked on top of each other works or even the use of big brother's back can become a stool. Hudson can climb into the kitchen table chairs and the rocking chair all by himself and when he has accomplished the task at hand, you will see a satisfying grin come across his face right before he realizes he's been caught.

Grammy's Birthday

Last Saturday we had Grammy, Papa Curt, and Emily come over to celebrated Grammy's birthday. We went to McAllisters to eat lunch. After lunch we went to the park and played and played and played. Papa took a ton of pics. Check them out at http://www.danbecky.com/. After that we went back to the house to open presents and eat cake. Cameron did a great job picking out the cake and Hudson loved getting to eat it. The boys loved getting to spend the day with their grandparents and celebrate Grammy's birthday.

Emma's Coming Over!

On Monday the 17th, the boys really wanted to do something but I was stuck at the house so I called Cam and Emma and asked them to come over. When they did, we had an impromptu swim party. The boys loved swimming with her and sliding and playing the sandbox. Both of the boys love having Emma around and Cam too!

Nana's visit

Nana came in on the 13th to come help me while I had surgery on my foot on that Friday. The boys were so excited to get to spend time with her and have their daddy home another Friday. Everyone did a great job taking care of me and waiting on me. Cameron loved curling up with me in the recliner, and I have to admit I loved it too. Nana also brought goodies for the boys and one of them was the outfit that Hudson wore on Sunday. She made it. We were all sad to see her go on Sunday, especially me.
