Nolen is ONE!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Nolen!

It is crazy to think that one year ago today our little boy was born! The year went so fast! We have had a fun day so far! We had donuts for breakfast, played a little, had lunch and is napping as we speak! Nolen is such a sweet addition to our family and we just love him. He is still so so happy. He is clapping and pointing and has even taken some steps the last few days! He has two teeth on the bottom and is about to get one on the top!!! He loves to eat and will try anything. He is drinking milk and I have thrown all our bottles away because he is drinking straight out of the cup!!! He is getting so big! Happy Birthday our sweet little boy! We love you so much and are so glad to have you!

Hudsen was so excited to tell Nolen Happy Birthday! The love that they have for each other is really fun to watch! They are, and always will be, brothers and will always have each other. I love that they love each other so much! Oh, they pick at each other but they are siblings so you have to expect that!!!

Having his donut!!!

So, I asked Hudsen what kind of cake he wanted to me to make for Nolen's birthday and he chose Cookie Monster! It is a good think that Nolen loves Cookie Monster! So, here is the Cookie Monster cake!! I had so much fun making this one!!! Thanks Hudsen for picking this out I think Nolen is going to love it!!! (Nolen is napping right now and hasn't seen his cake yet!)

Our Big Boy! He got a thinking chair and he is in love!! That is all he played with last night and today!!! We love you Hudsen! Thank you for being such a sweet boy and a wonderful Big Brother to Nolen!

Happy Friday and I will post pictures from the party later!!

Pinterest and My Boys

I don't have a facebook account but Tim does so I just use his. I don't do much but look at pictures and updates. Tim lived in McAlester, OK for a few years in high school and made several friends. A couple he is friends with on facebook and I love looking at their pages for a few reasons.....1-they both have babies within a few months of Nolen and I love looking at pictures of their babies and reading their updates. 2-they always have really cute ideas for different things. 3-they sometimes put up good recipes. I got on one day and saw a picture of the cutest wreath that one of the girls had made and she got the idea from pinterest. Now I had heard about pinterest and even looked at the website but really didn't know much about it. After seeing this picture, I got back on and really started looking at the website and quickly became addicted!!! I have two wreaths, a fall and a Christmas one so from January to September I don't have anything to hang on my front door. When I saw this picture I knew I wanted to attempt this in hopes to have a wreath to put on my front door!!! Now I have made friends with one of Tim's friends from OK, Mona Gayle. After seeing the picture and knowing she is friends with this girl, I quickly texted her to see if she knew how to make the wreath and how much burlap I would need. She had actually made one for Valentine's Day and so she told me how much she used and off to Hobby Lobby I went. I gathered my supplies and when I got home I went to work on my new wreath!!! I love how it turned out. It was so easy and so much fun!!


Here it is on the front door!


Burlap, tulle, ribbon and I added feathers because I love feathers!!



My boys!! I can't post on here without putting up pictures of the boys!!! They are growing so much and are so much fun!!! Hudsen has a lot of energy and Nolen is very busy so our house is loud and exciting and I love every minute of noise!!!! Tim and I are so thankful that God chose us to be the parents to these sweet little boys!!!


Arggh!! Hudsen is still loving pirates and they play pirates just about every night!!!

Nolen is 11 months old!!!

I can't believe that we are getting ready to celebrate his first birthday!!! This year has just flown by! He is still such a happy boy and a very busy boy. He loves to eat anything, food or not! He loves to play with his ball and bat. He is a talker and laughs a lot! He loves his big brother and his big brother loves him! He has a tooth!!!!! We go to the dr at the end of the month and will get his one year stats then!

Hudsen still loves Toy Story and his Woody and Buzz toys. He so badly wants a Jessie doll and that might just have to be a Valentine present!!! He is still just such a sweet boy that loves to run, play, talk, and laugh!

Hudsen got this tent from Amy and OnOn for Christmas and they both love to play in it!!!

Happy Hump Day!

Disney on Ice/Toy Story 3

On Friday we went to see Disney on Ice/Toy Story 3! We had a blast. This was our first Disney on Ice experience and we would definitely go again! Hudsen got a cool Woody cup, Buzz helmet and a Woody spin toy! He had so much fun watching all the characters, Tim and I did too. Nolen actually watched a little, flirted with the girl next to us, ate and fell asleep! It was a fun family date night!!!

Happy New Year 2012 and Christmas 2011

Christmas 2011:
This year we traveled to Plainview for Christmas! Since we spent Christmas in Texas, we celebrated Christmas early with Tim's family. We had Christmas with King and Ellen on the 18th, Hudsen had a doctor appointment on the 19th and then me and the boys flew to Plainview on the 20th. It was a busy few days!!! We had a wonderful Christmas with Grandma and Bompa, wonderful food and lots of fun presents for all of us!!! The next day Hudsen went to the doctor! He is 37lbs and 41 inches and perfectly healthy! Hudsen doesn't have to have any shots until he is 4 so we have another year of no shots!!! He goes back in June! The next day me and the boys got on a plane and flew to Lubbock! Both boys did so well on the plane! My dad picked us up and so started the get togethers!!! It was wonderful and probably the best Christmas for me. That night we all met at Amy's (my older sister) house and had yummy food and even better company! The next night everyone came out to mom and dad's and we ate some more and let the kids play! Hudsen loved playing with Ashton and Stella and Nolen loved Stella! It was so much fun for me to see the cousins playing because I remember so many holidays of playing with my cousins!! The next night (22nd) we had Christmas at my Grandad's That was even more fun to see everyone and watch the kids play and again some really yummy food!! My cousin Tyler cooked steaks for about 31 people and they were delicious!! Then we had baked potatoes, salad and homemade rolls and all the desserts you could imagine!! Tim got in on the 23rd and that night we just hung out at mom and dad's. Everyone came over and we of course ate some more food!!! Christmas Eve we woke up to snow!!! It was beautiful and it snowed pretty much all day! Hudsen got sick the night before so we made him stay inside. Mom and Hudsen made cookies for Santa and we put them out that night along with some milk. Christmas Day we awoke to more snow and a visit from Santa. The boys played and then we let Hudsen go out and play in the snow. He and Tim made a snowman, snow angels and Hudsen threw plenty of snowballs at Tim! They had a blast! That night everyone came out for food and presents! Again, so much fun to watch the kids play! They loved each other and had so much fun! Hudsen did get his pirate sword that he asked for and he had lots of fun playing with it! The next day was Tim's birthday! We went to eat mexican food with all my family, my aunt and uncle (on my mom's side), my cousin, her husband and little girl (Hudsen's age). She is pregnant with their second baby and she looks adorable! After dinner we went to Amy's house for cake and a little play time with our friends little girl, Reagan (Hudsen's age). It took them a few minutes to warm up to each other and Hudsen didn't want her to leave when it came time. Tim came home the next day and then my mom and dad drove me and the boys home on the 28th. We were jam packed and it was a long day in the car but we made it and I am so thankful and glad that they did that for us! They drove home on the 1st, so we were able to spend some time with them! It was a wonderful Christmas season and we look forward to 2012 and all it has to offer us!! Now we start planning our little boy Nolen's 1st birthday!



Happy New Year! Our new year started with just the four of us playing all day!
