HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

Happy 1st Birthday to Hudsen!!!!

Hudsen turned one on Monday the 14th! We had a couple of parties for him and he had so much fun! Our first party was on Sunday. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Elizabeth, Uncle G, our friend Dana and our friend JR celebrated with us. Hudsen loved all of his gifts but was a little overwhelmed. He wasn't quite sure which toy to play with. The next morning he was still overwhelmed because he just kept walking around and around and around just looking at all his new toys but didn't know which one to play with first.

Hudsen loved his cake and was not too messy!

This is the cake I stressed about! Yes, I made it and it turned out pretty good....I think?!

Aunt Elizabeth came over on Saturday and gave Hudsen an early Christmas present. It was a Godson ornament!

We had another party on his birthday at Grandma and Grandpa's. He had more presents to open and he had so much fun. He loves all of his new toys and clothes!

He still loved his cake but was messy the 2nd time around!



He is exactly ONE YEAR OLD! This was taken at 7:03pm on the 14th....exactly the time of his birth!!!!

We go to Plainview for Christmas and will have another party with my family! What a lucky boy getting to have 3 parties. I can't say that I ever had 3 parties!!!

Hudsen went to the doctor today which is why I am just now posting. I wanted to give one big update instead of two. He is 31 inches and 23 lbs. 10 oz. He is perfectly healthy. He has been walking for about 3 weeks and is drinking milk. We still have no teeth but the Dr. told us not to worry. You can see little white spots, they just won't break through. Someday!

We are so excited to see our Plainview Family next week! We hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! If you are traveling, please Be Safe!

So, bath time is very treasured time around our house! Hudsen loves playing in the tub. Tim gave him a bath a couple of nights ago and this is what they did. I just had to share a few!

What do you think?

I think..........father and son look a whole lot alike!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

We hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! We ate too much and had fun on Hudsen's first Thanksgiving! He tried cranberry salad, turkey and sweet potatoes. He was only a fan of the cranberry salad, the rest he just spit right back out! We are now ready for Hudsen's First Birthday and then Christmas!! We can't wait!

Monkey Boy

Tim and I had decided not to dress Hudsen up for Halloween. Our reasoning was that he was not trick-or-treating and he couldn't eat the candy. So he wore his Halloween shirt and we began carving our pumpkins in the backyard after lunch. Then we began to decorate our front porch for the trick-or-treaters. I started to feel like a bad parent for not dressing him up, so Tim and I decided to find a costume. So we went to the place that you go to for everything especially last minute.........Wal-mart!!! We found a monkey costume and Hudsen looked so cute!! I am so glad we decided to dress him up and we had so much fun handing out candy to the little ones. Next year Hudsen will be able to trick-or-treat and we can't wait!

This is our tradition. We carve pumpkins every year and next year Hudsen will be able to help!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a SAFE and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Plainview Trip

LONG POST-BE PREPARED
I haven't posted in several weeks so this is going to be a long one!

Hudsen and I spent all last week in Plainview with my family for two reasons. One was for my birthday and two was for my niece's wedding!! We had lots of fun and took so many fun pictures. Hudsen has grown so much since our last visit. He loved everyone so much and had lots of fun!

We flew in on Saturday the 17th and my mom and Kiley picked us up. We then shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped some more! We had so much fun but were tired when we got back to mom and dad's. Hudsen did really well on the plane. He played and talked to everyone and fell asleep the last 40 minutes of the flight. My birthday was spent with all my family, including Grandad, eating supper at mom and dad's. We had some really good food and Hudsen loved seeing Grandad!! We went to a volleyball game on Tuesday and then just hung out on Wednesday. Thursday night we went to my sister, Amy's, house and Hudsen had a playdate with my high school basketball coach and his wife's little girl Reagan. They had so much fun and it was neat to watch them play. Friday was the rehearsal for the wedding and then Saturday was the big day. My niece, Mollie, got married and it was beautiful.

We also had pictures taken of Hudsen while we were there. Kiley and Michael, my sister and brother-in-law, have started a photography business so they took pictures of Hudsen before the wedding. They turned out WONDERFUL and we are going to have a hard time picking one to frame! We get to go back at Christmas and are going to have them take his one year pictures!!

Hudsen had so much fun playing with everyone and he especially liked playing with my nephew Ashton. He thought he was really cool!!





He loved Ashton so much and Ashton was so good with him!!


My Superboy on my birthday!!









Our play date with baby Reagan! We had fun and can't wait for our next one!







Isn't he so cute standing with no help!



The day of the rehearsal. This outfit was designed by our cousin Chris! I wanted this to be the outfit that he wore for his one year pictures but I don't think it will fit. :(


I have the cutest nephew! He was the ring bearer and he looked so handsome. His favorite part of the tuxedo was the shoes!!


Mollie and Michael Villanueva! They are a beautiful couple!



Dancing with my cousin Tanner!


Congratulations Mollie and Michael! The wedding was beautiful! We love you both!



The following are pictures taken by Michael!! They are so good and we can't wait for our next session. Thank you Kiley and Michael!! Y'all really have a good eye and do a wonderful job!!















Ashton and Grandad!





























Now you can see why we are going to have a hard time picking one to frame and these aren't even all of them!

We had a wonderful time and Tim was really glad to see us when we got home on Sunday! We look forward to Christmas and spending time with everyone!
