Baby Mudd # 3

9 weeks
Well folks we are expanding our family. Baby Mudd #3 is due in Early May. We are very excited and poor Barrett is begging for a little sister :)

Some summer pictures

I have been really slacking on the boys blog so this one is just going to be full of pictures. The only thing new is that Barrett started soccer this month and he has his first game on Saturday. He is going pretty good since this is his first experience with an organized sport. Griffen has started his morning day out program and the days that I drop him off he does his best at trying to get an Emmy for the best crying. However when I pick him up he is fine and has survived the the morning.

They were playing some kind of game outside, and being cute at it

Barrett starts Kindergarten

I just don't know where the time has gone. It feels like I just came home with him, however I guess time does fly and now he is in kindergarten. The school made sure that parents and students were ready even before school started. We had so many open houses and meet and greets it was not funny but I think it helped on the first day. Barrett cried a little on the bus and well I teared up but stayed strong. However when two came around I was already pacing the floor waiting for him to get home. The bus does not get to our house until 2:55 :) He was smiling when he got off the bus and he had a great first day .

Yes they look happy. Poor Griffen did not know what to do with himself that day

All ready to go

Our new family member

When we moved to Indiana, Barrett started asking for a puppy. We told him that once we got settled and when spring came we would look into get a new puppy. However instead nick got his ordered and the puppy was put on hold. Right before Nick came home I had saw that the breeder where we got Ally just had chocolate labs from the same line as Ally. So on April the 5th Nick flew to Arizona and picked up our newest member to the family. Her name is Bella Bleu Mudd. Barrett was in love and well Griffen had to get used to her because Bella loves to chase him around and pull his pants down. We all think it's funny but Griffen doesn't seem to.

She is five months old now and gets into trouble everyday but we love having her and the both boys play and help feed her. She is a good addition to the family

He is home and Griffen's Second Birthday

In 2009 Nick got paper work that entered him back into the army and overseas for a year. Leaving me to be a single parent for a year. I would like to say that that long road ended on March 31, 2010. Nick finally made it back home and he was able to spend a month off before back to work. In that time we celebrated Griffen's second birthday. This year we went with a Mickey Mouse theme.

School Pictures Spring of 2010

Well school is over and the boys have completed the year. Barrett is going into Kindergarten in August and we are sending Griffen back two days a week to the same mother's day out program. I am going to be severing on the board at Griffen's school and I am very excited to get started. Here are the spring school pictures.

As most of you know Barrett has started pre-k this year and had loved every minute of it. He has made some friends and enjoys his work.

Griffen is at a mother's day out program two days a week at the same church. He did not like it at first but he became fast friends with one of his teachers. He gets a snack and he colors which makes him happy.

Halloween

This year we got to come home from Halloween and spend it with family. We got to party at Tina's house again this year and enjoy all of that wonderful. This was Barrett second year for trick-or treating and he got into it.
