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!!

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!

Have You Ever Been This Tired?

Clapping

Hudsen started clapping this week and it is the cutest thing. What is so cute is he knows when to clap. He likes to watch Dancing with the Stars with me and he claps for everyone! He is such a joy! I was able to get him to clap on video last night. Enjoy!!

I just love this little guy!!!!

He loves to play!!!

9 Months

Hudsen is 9 months old!!!! I can't believe we are 3 months from his First Birthday! CRAZY!!!!! People always tell me that the first year goes by so fast, and it really does! Hudsen had his 9 month check-up today and he is 21.4 pounds and 31 inches. He is perfectly healthy. The Dr. says that he is advanced for his age because he walks around the furniture and from one piece of furniture to the next. He can now begin to try some table food!!! I am so glad because he has been eyeing our food for quite some time now. He is really active but still seemed to gain a pound!!!! He is SO TALL!! He only got one shot this time and he goes back in December for his one year check-up!! His new accomplishment is climbing the stairs. We did get it on video but are having trouble loading it on the computer. When we do I will post it because it is so cute. He climbed all the way to the top without any help!!! He also held a pen today and was able to click it with his thumb! He is a genius.

We have so much going on the next few weeks. Amy, and we hope Leon, are coming at the end of the month while Tim is in Mexico for Brian and Erin's wedding. They leave and Tim gets back on the same day and then three days later our bestest friends come out to visit for a few days!!! One week after they leave is when Hudsen and I go to Plainview for my birthday and Mollie, my niece's, wedding! Busy but so much fun!!!! We can't wait to see everyone!!

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy from the last few weeks!!!

Cold

Hudsen has his first cold. It's so weird to say someone has a cold in the 107+ degree weather. He is a trooper though and is feeling much better. He continues to grow everyday. He weighs 20 lbs. 6 oz. and is extremely tall. He is so active and I am so glad. He is crawling, pulling up on everything and has started standing on his own for a few seconds at a time. He walks around the coffee table and along the couch. He is just growing too fast.


I posted a couple of months ago when we started eating baby food that Hudsen did not like anything green. Well.......he is now eating peas and green beans. We started out having to cover them in sweet potatoes or squash, but now he will eat them on their own. I just hope he will keep it up. Here are some pictures from this month so enjoy.

I love my toys!!!

I love for you to read to me!!!

Pretty sunset!!

Visiting Dr. P! I love the ladies!!!

Stairs? Not a problem. I need to get to Chandler!!

Don't worry, I am being careful!!!

Oh hi dad!!!

Crawling!!!

Yay!! Hudsen is crawling. He started crawling Friday and is now everywhere and pulling up on everything. We are so very proud and wanted to share this big accomplishment with everyone. This video is of him crawling. I will post one of him pulling up and crawling later this week!! Enjoy!

Baseball Game

Last weekend we drove to California for Hudsen's 1st baseball game. It was an interesting trip but we had fun. We left on Friday and when we got there Hudsen did not want to sleep. We had a rough night. On Saturday, we tried to go to the beach. Tried is the key word........we drove around for about an hour looking for a place to park. The beach was PACKED!!! We then decided to go eat and go to the game and try the beach Sunday. We got to the game early and there was a celebrity softball game going on. They had opened up the outfield for fans to watch the game and take pictures. We went out on the field and took some really good pictures. Hudsen got to put his feet in the grass of a major league ballpark at just 7 months of age!!! We then made our way to our seats and wouldn't you know it.....our row was the only one that was completely full!!!!!! We made it to the 7th inning stretch and decided to leave early. LA fans are not the greatest and Tim was wearing his Marlins gear. Hudsen had a better night on Saturday. Sunday we made it to the beach. This would be another first for Hudsen. The weather was nice and who doesn't like the sound of the ocean!!! Here are some pictures to share with everyone!!



Parking lot of the ballpark. What a view!!





In the outfield!!
