The Ludlow Family: I LOVE FALL!!

Fall is my FAVORITE time of year!! This fall has already been an especially fun and busy one. The most exciting part of the month was our big boy's 6th Birthday!!! I cannot believe Jackson is already 6 years old! Time has FLOWN by. I always talk about what a good boy he is but it really is true. He is so sweet-natured. We had his parent-teacher conference this month and his teacher went on and on about what a good student and friend he was. He is doing GREAT in school and we couldn't be any more proud of our sweet boy. She said he always includes everyone and she has never heard him say that someone can't play with him (which she said happens all the time in Kindergarten). It just made us feel really good as parents to hear from his teacher what an amazing kid he was, we knew it already but it is still so touching to hear from someone else :)

Anyway, we had Jackson's birthday on the 6th and Scott was able to break away from work to bring cupcakes up to the school with me. Jackson was so excited to show off Lainey to his class. That night we went to Red Lobster (Jackson's choice), so he could get crab legs. That's 2 years in a row that he has chosen Red Lobster! Cracks us up! I don't think we have been there since his 5th birthday but he sure does love it! Crazy kid. That weekend we had his birthday party at Incredible Pizza wsith some of the boys from school. Unfortunately, none of our family could make it for the party so we didn't get a lot of pics with keeping track of are 3 kids and a group of 5 and 6 year old boys!!!

Jackson was in heaven when he opened his gift and saw he got the Nintendo 3DS he had been begging for! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, Mamaw and Papaw for helping out with the gift!
Funny story, on his birthday I picked up his DS while he was at school and the girls were with me. I made Leah promise to keep it a surprise from Jackson. We picked up Jackson from school and he immediately started asking me what his present was, I told him a stuffed animal and Leah immediately started to giggle from the backseat. She yelled out "Yeah a stuffed animal Jackson!" Then "whispered" just as loud, "we're just kidding mom, it's a DS." Oh Leah...she kept it a surprise for a total of 3minutes.

Leah opted for the norm...chicken

Jackson loving his DS!! The couple sitting behind us overheard it was his birthday and gave him $2 as he left. His face just lit up!! It was the sweetest thing!

Leah and her boyfriend Hayden

Lainey was doing her tummy time one evening and got her legs all wrapped around Chloe! It was so cute. Chloe is the most tolerant dog!

Crazy close up

The kid's last soccer game was this weekend and alothough it was fun, we are happy to have our Saturdays free again. Jackson loved soccer again this year and Leah loved practice....She did finally play in the last game of the season and really liked it, of course.

Our 3 sweet Angels all ready for their school Halloween Trunk-or Treat on Saturday. It was so much fun! They had hayrides and a pumpkin patch, the kids loved it.

I love Lainey and Leah's matching face here :)

Jackson loves his baby sister and she is pretty crazy about him, too.

I cannot believe Lainey is 3 months old now! She is still the sweetest baby! She loves to be held, taslked to and smile. She rolled over on Saturday but hasn't since. She loves bath time and of course, mommy cuddle time. We fall more and more in love with her!!

The leaves are changing in Memphis and the trees are so beautiful!! We went to the park on Saturday to enjoy the amazing weather!! Scott and the kids practiced their baseball skills and Lainey and I enjoyed watching hile walking the trails around the park.

Leah's teacher Mrs. Keath gladly took Lainey off my hands so I could enjoy Leah at the party!

Trick-or-treating Monday night with Jackson's friend Donovan who lives down the street. Both his parents and baby sister went with us, it was alot of fun!
