Cameron

I just found this cute picture of my favorite 6 year old and could help but write about how much fun Cameron is. Adam and I are constantly commenting on how funny and just cool this kid is. Everything he does just seems to come naturally to him. He has such a kind heart, is such a good friend, is {too} popular with the girls already, is so funny and so sharp. We really couldn't have asked for a better big brother to take care of and set the example for the younger kids. Love this kid.

Little Bubba

 It is so much fun to see how much the kids absolutely adore their baby brother! Our little bubba {as Anniston calls him} can't even squeak without his 3 siblings coming to the rescue and he always has someone to "play" with. Look at how cute these 4 are. How did I ever get so lucky!?

Back-To-School Dinner Party

The kids did the decorating and helped make the food for our annual Back-To-School dinner party. They are both beyond thrilled for school to be starting again. Cameron is so excited about more than one recess and eating lunch at school and Brooklyn can't wait to "go" to preschool. I, on the other hand, am struggling a little bit. I know Cameron will do great and I am excited about his teacher, I'm just not sure about having him gone for so long. I just know I'm going to miss him like crazy. As far as Brooklyn, I'm really looking forward to being her teacher again this year, but I'm far too aware of the fact that this her last preschool year. I know I sound like a broken record, but I really do wish I could freeze time for just a little bit and keep them little for a while longer. Well, at least it's fun to experience all these milestones with them. {sigh}

Moving On :(

If you would have told me 4 years ago when we pulled into this scary new place that it would feel like home, that we'd have family here and that we wouldn't want to leave...I probably wouldn't have believed you. But it's true. Leaving Memphis and fantastic friends was so incredibly hard.

Lucas, Brooklyn, & Cameron - Best Buddies!

I'm not going to lie, it's been a rough month for us and we're having a hard time saying goodbye. No luck so far selling the house and we are still trying to figure out the job/financial situation. Thank goodness for good friends who made our years in Memphis our best so far and have been so supportive through this transtition!

I am heartbroken to leave, but excited for our future and the good things to come!

Eye Doctors

Does he look professional or what? :)

 Oh, and don't forget the future Dr. Rudd. 

As of today he wants to be an optometrist like daddy. Tomorrow he will probably say policeman, firefighter, ninja, super hero ... or, more likely...a comedian! :)
