Birthday Party Decorations

This past weekend was Hampton's 2nd birthday party. We had a great time and the weather was wonderful, however, we didn't get as many pictures as we'd wanted. So most of Tanner's insane adorable crafts didn't get documented. Oh, well! Here are some views of the one thing we did get a photo of (and the most important), the food table.

Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday, we headed to the pumpkin patch to pick out a couple of pumpkins and let Hampton run around. We went to this same patch last year, and he loved it, so we wanted to go back. The people that run the patch are so nice, and the prices for the pumpkins are awesome! We got 2 good-sized pumpkins for $4, which was well worth it for just the enjoyment Hampton got from touching most of the pumpkins and running around enjoying the weather!

Down on the Farm

We recently went to Brantley Farms for Hampton's friend Addison's birthday party. We'd never been there before, so we were really excited for Hampton to see the animals and run around outside in the beautiful weather! They had lots of animals to see, but Hampton was most interested in the tractor. He liked being able to turn the wheel and sit up high. We're sure that his Grandpa is going to be thrilled about this!

40th Annual Shrimp Festival

This weekend was the 40th Annual Shrimp Festival, so we had to join our 300,000 closest friends and check it out! We went down on Thursday night, which is known as Locals Night, because the crowds aren't quite as bad, but also because every year the Tip Tops play. We've heard about the Tip Tops since we first moved here, but have missed them for some reason or another every time they've played. Well, we finally got to see them, and they did NOT disappoint! They were awesome!

The person who loved them the most, though, was Hampton. He was all about dancing to the music, and was getting lots of smiles and laughs due to his "unique" dancing ability (he inherited his moves from Bo, if that tells you anything!). Luckily, we ran into Jeff & Jessica Hudson, so they got lots of amusement out of watching Hampton show off his moves, too. Here are a couple of photos that try to capture his routine....they don't quite do it justice, but trust us, this boy is a dancing machine!

Lulu's and boo-boos

A couple of weeks ago, we went to dinner with our friends the Bodifords. They have three children, and the 2 older ones had an evening play date, so they wanted to take advantage of only having Lucas with them and invited us to come with them. We thought the boys would have a great time playing in the sand, and the weather was wonderful, so we headed to Lulu's. We had a great time with them, and it was funny to find out how much Krystal & Tanner have in common! Of course, Hampton and Lucas had fun running around......that is, until a big kid accidentally hit Hampton in the face with his hula-hoop! It swelled up so big and fast that it split his skin. So, of course, Hampton now has another big boo-boo right on his head. At least it's usually in the same place!

Dinner with the Hudsons

So, like we mentioned yesterday, it's Fall Break time! This past weekend, we got to meet up with our extended family Jeff & Kay Hudson, along with their daughters and Kay's sister. We had a great time visiting with them and laughing a lot, especially while Bo told the story of the practical joke he played on Jeff last year! Hampton loved playing and making faces with Jeff at dinner, so we were all well entertained. Kay is down here for a month (so lucky!) and Jeff, Katie & Jessica are coming back and forth, so we're hoping they get to come to Hampton's birthday party in a few weeks!
