5 YEARS!!!

Tim and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary this past Friday!! Tim looked up what you are supposed to get each other and your 5th anniversary is wood. So, we had been talking about re-doing our dining room. I wanted to paint a gold color and Tim really wanted a darker color. Without me knowing, he picked out two paint colors and got some wood to make a chair rail. He then painted the top portion Honey Butter and the bottom portion Bordeaux with the chair rail white. He has become very handy and quite the home designer!! It is beautiful and I love it!! I didn't actually get him some wood that he could hold but he does get to see some wood. I got us tickets to the Florida Marlins at LA Dodgers game. Tim has two favorite teams.....Florida and Boston. This will be Hudsen's FIRST baseball game!!!!! We are so excited. We really try to see at least one game a season and we haven't been to one this year.

Grandma and Grandpa (Ellen and King) stayed with Hudsen while Tim and I went to dinner and a movie. We ate at PF Chang's and then went to Harry Potter The Half Blood Prince. PF Chang's is special because that is where Tim took me to eat on our first date and then 5 years ago we had our rehearsal dinner there. As for the movie....... WONDERFUL!!! I loved the new Harry Potter movie but I am a huge Harry Potter fan!! I can't wait for the next one!!

To sum up..... our anniversary was WONDERFUL!!! We can't wait for the baseball game and we will post pictures of Hudsen's first game!!!!

This was the best picture I could get of the dining room. The colors look so good with everything I have in there!!!




I can't put up a post without pictures of Hudsen!!!! He is getting so big. He is still working on two teeth and trying to crawl. He gets around like a worm. It really is the cutest thing!!



Here are my boys watching the all-star game!!



You can't really see the shirt. It has a stroller on it and it says underneath, "That's how I roll" SO cute!

Hudsen is now waving bye-bye. It is the cutest thing but we can't get it on video. We keep trying but he will stop when we start recording. We will keep trying and post it once we get it recorded.

Happy 4th of July

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Hudsen had his first 4th of July! He watched his first fireworks and didn't even cry. We had a wonderful day grilling and enjoying the nice weather! Here are a few pictures to share!

He is getting so big and looking more like a little boy and not so much like a little baby!

He was very relaxed outside with all of his toys!! He loves to be outside!!

We hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!!!

Check-Up

Hudsen had his 6 month check-up on Monday. He is healthy and perfect. He is 29 inches and 19 lbs. He grew 3 inches and only gained 2 pounds. He is long and lean. He got 4 shots and the nurse this time wasn't the greatest but Hudsen was so good. He only cried for a little bit and had stopped by the time we got to the front to make our next appointment. We go back in September and I think he has already grown some more!

He is so very close to crawling. He gets on all fours and rocks back and forth and will move his knees but can't figure out to move his hands. He still scoots and is very fast. I think he will be crawling by the end of this weekend!!



We have tried some new foods. Green beans were a NO!! He did not like them. I read that it can take up to 15 tries before they will like them. We tried it twice and got the same response so I guess we have 13 more tries before we are supposed to give up. Sweet peas were the same. Do we see a trend here........I don't think he likes green foods. That sounds a lot like his daddy!!! He is a fan of sweet potatoes and plums. The next thing we will try will be butternut squash.




In summary, we are doing GREAT!! Hudsen is growing like a weed and doing something new everyday. Tim started school last week and is doing fantastic. I am just loving being a mom!!!

Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

To: Tim, Dad, King, Grandad and all fathers- Happy Father's Day!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. This was Tim's first father's day and we celebrated him all weekend. Hudsen and I started by making the cute banner you see in the picture above. We made that on Saturday morning and then we cooked chicken parmesan for supper (Tim's favorite). Then we made french toast for breakfast this morning. Here are a few pictures from the day!

Friday night we tried carrots. They were a success!

These are just cute pictures Tim took one morning this week!

6 MONTHS

HAPPY 6 MONTH BIRTHDAY HUDSEN!!!

I can't believe Hudsen is 6 months old. He is growing so fast. We tried some new things this weekend and here are a few pictures to show you the fun that we had.



We started with a cookie. Yes it is one of those yucky, gooey, gets everywhere cookie that I said I would never give to my child because they gross me out but.....



when you get that reaction, how can you not give him one. He loved it. I think partly because he was able to hold it himself and the other part because it felt good on his gums. So our lesson here is.......never say never!!!



We then tried bananas and.....

well, the face says it all. He really liked the bananas. We tried applesauce tonight and that was a winner as well.



Next came apple juice. More like a lot of water and a splash of apple juice. I love the faces he would make after the first drink. I didn't have the camera handy but he would pucker up and shake his head and then go back for more. It's the cutest thing!


He can now go just about anywhere in his walker and he will get into anything. He is very curious and so much fun to watch.



The circle change. He did this on his own!!! So smart and yes his daddy was very proud!!
He loves baseball!!



He has become a really big fan of the singing crab. He can hit the top and the crab will sing and move around.



We are so close to crawling. He has been up on all fours a few times but still hasn't put it all together. He just scoots but he is ohhhh sooo close!!



Rebel fans!!


Well, he has my eyes and chin but that is just about it.



This one just makes me smile!!

Weddings!

Awwwww........ weddings!! Doesn't everyone love weddings?! From now to the end of next April we will have 5 weddings to attend. We went to our first one this past weekend and I wanted to share some pictures from that night. It was a lovely ceremony and we are so happy for Brandon and Cathy!

The first two for Tim are always fun ones! You never know what face you are going to get!

Now this is a good one! I love you Tim!!

We missed Hudsen but he was asleep by the time the reception started. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for staying with H.

Look At Me!!

I can't believe it is June!!! Hudsen will be 6 mos in a couple of weeks and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. He is doing so many new things and we are enjoying every bit of it!! We truly are blessed and we thank God everyday!! Please enjoy the latest pictures and there is a video at the end of Hudsen playing outside (his favorite place to be). Tim was trying out our video on our camera while I was using our camcorder. ENJOY!!!



Look who is sitting up!! He still needs someone to be close by, but he is sitting up!!



We can't wait for UNLV basketball this fall!!




He loves to smile and he has the cutest laugh!!

He can almost crawl. He scoots right now and gets where he wants to go!!

Yes, that is his Big Toe in his mouth!! Oh to be that flexible!!

He LOVES being outside!!

He LOVES to talk and drool!!!

This is our favorite from the day!! We just love him so much!!

He went straight for the water puddle! He is a true BOY!!

Enjoy watching him get around!! He is all over the place and we love it!!
