The Russo's

This is a compilation of  play time with friends and cousins. A while back at Jen and Mario's the kids were playing music for us.  God's Not Dead is one of their favorite songs   Gianna had fun getting her nails and toes done by Emerie.   Josh's cousin Mary and her kids came over to see us when they were in town. It was good to see them even if it was a short visit.   My friend Rachel came in town and planned a dinner with friends from high school. It was really fun- like a mini reunion!  We were supposed to have a play date the next day with our kids, but it didn't work out. I had already told the kids, so I brought them to the playground anyway.  Hudson was off of school Monday, so we invited Jennifer, Jessica and Jen over with their kids. They played outside and ate lunch together. My family came over for the LSU game and the kids started to get wild as the night went on. This was 10:00 at nig...

We are half way through the fall soccer season. The family has been coming to watch Hudson. Josh is coaching his team and also a 3/4 year old team.  They have goalies this year and they can come up and catch the ball, so it's a little harder to score. He cried once when the goalie caught his ball, but is understanding now.  At school, they did a week on learning about apples and Johnny Appleseed. On that Friday, they had an apple breakfast with the families. Hudson's class did a skit and the other class performed a song.   Hudson was playing the farmer- that didn't care about the animals eating the apples.  A little clip from the skit. We went in the cafeteria after to eat breakfast.   I brought muffins, but they had some really creative apple dishes. It was also homecoming week and there was a dress up theme each day. One day he was a cowboy for western day and wore camouflage another day.  ...

  Hudson wanted to do the Zoo Zoom race again this year and Gianna did it for the first time. Her party was the same day, so I stayed home to get ready for that. I borrowed pictures to share. Lined up for the race A loud bull horn was right by them and scared the kids!  They're off! Gianna crossing the finish line and Grace right before her  I was disappointed that I didn't go because all my nieces and nephew (except Kaden) ran the fun run. Leilynn even finished first out of the girls and got a trophy. This is Hudson and Gianna's times  Hudson - 14 Gianna - 30 The Ringling Brothers circus was in town the same weekend. We went to the Sunday afternoon show. Hudson went last year and was excited to go back. This was Gianna's first time and she was looking forward to it.   It was loud and Gianna had her fingers in her ears for the first half.   Hudon's favorite act was the dirt bikes...
