Happy Halloween

We love Halloween! The kids love their jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins, but most of all trick-or-treating, of course! It's all about Star Wars and Frozen in the Rudden house, so the kids' Halloween costumes are no surprise - Boba Fett and Elsa. They had so much fun trick-or-treating in the new neighborhood checking out all the decorations and getting handfuls of candy - some very happy kids!

Happy Birthday, Charlotte!

Our little princess is 4! Charlotte is our independent and silly sweetheart. She had a Frozen themed birthday celebration with family complete with new Elsa nightgown, snow boots, scooter and castle. She sure can be stubborn, but oh so adorable! 

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Connor and I had so much fun exploring Vala's Pumpkin Patch with his first grade class! I helped supervise a group of five boys who loved hamming it up for the camera. We had a blast at the new obstacle course and sports area, the slides, train, bounce pad, haunted house, and hay rack ride to the pumpkin patch. Such a great group of kids and awesome day!

Country Fun

The kids had fun running around Grandpa Tom's house and more birthday celebrations. They love the animals and riding the horse swings, and Connor braved getting on a real horse this year. 

Happy Birthday, Connor!

Can't believe Connor is 7! He's growing up to be such a kind, smart and fun kid - so proud of him! With the new movie coming out soon, this birthday was all about Star Wars. He had so much fun celebrating with his friends at Chuck E Cheese. Charlotte loved hanging out with the big kids and the cake, too!

Fall Soccer

This fall was busy with both kids now playing soccer. Connor still loves it and had so much fun playing with his team this year. Charlotte loves to kick the ball, but she's rather do it when no other kids are around, so she spent most of her games running after the crowd. Oh well, that's how Connor's first season went, and now he's scoring goals and loves to play defense, too.
