Wonderful Weekend

Elizabeth & Gerard were married April 16, 2010. I had the privilege and honor of being the matron of honor. Thank you Elizabeth for thinking so highly of me. I feel the same about you!! The ceremony and reception were beautiful.......it helps when the bride and groom are beautiful people. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony and the reception was so fun!

The girls started out the day by getting our hair and makeup done! It was so much fun! Then we took a limo to the ceremony to get ready. We had some lunch and got ready, took some pre-wedding pictures and then went back to the bridal suite to hang and drink some champagne! Then came the wedding and reception. Elizabeth looked beautiful and you could definitely feel the love between the two. Thank you Elizabeth for letting us share in your special day and welcome to the family Gerard! We love you both!!

Hudsen was such a trooper. He was a perfect angel at the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. We have a wonderful little boy!!



Brian and Erin were married October 3, 2009 in Cabo, Mexico. Tim was the best man and was very proud to stand up for his brother. The wedding was beautiful. Hudsen and I did not go because we did not want to take Hudsen to Mexico. My older sister, Amy, came to stay with us and we had so much fun with her! Here are some pictures from Mexico!

What a beautiful place to get married and again a good looking couple. Erin, welcome to the family! We love you both!

HAPPY EASTER

Easter 2010

We started on Saturday by hunting eggs in our backyard with Hudsen. He loved his eggs, his basket and of course being outside, but he couldn't grasp that you pick up the eggs and put them in the basket. He just wanted to pick them all up and carry them!!

"Hurry up and take me outside."

He was so pooped that he came in and went to sleep!




Sunday morning he woke up and found that the Easter Bunny had stopped by our house. Thanks Nanny for the basket and candy!!!

"Smartie please!"

Then we got ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's!

I had planned for all of us to match. I had a yellow and white dress that I was going to wear but we decided to go to church at 5:00 and I didn't want to wear my dress all day or change after eating so much good food, so just my boys match!!!

"What's in here?"

A duck from Aunt Elizabeth!!!

HUGE hit, Thank you Aunt Elizabeth!!

You have to play outside on Easter! It's the beginning of Spring!!

I love Easter and it's meaning, what a wonderful gift Jesus gave us!! Our Easter was wonderful. We had lots of fun, good food, family time and making lots of memories!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!

The Next Big Star

You guessed it......Hudsen is The Next Big Star!!!!

Background: We usually go to King & Ellen's house on Sundays for supper. Elizabeth, Tim's sister, is getting married in 5 weeks and just moved back to Vegas so she is living with her parents. She has a Wii with the games-The Beatles Rock Band and Country Rock Band. Now the last time we played this with Hudsen around was several months ago and he was asleep for most of the time we were playing.

We decided to play Sunday and they got out the drums, guitar and microphone with stand. Hudsen loved the drums and guitar but when the microphone and stand came out, he walked right up to it and grabbed it and started singing into the microphone. I do not know how he knew that is what you do with a microphone but he definitely has music in his blood.

I have posted two videos of his big show! Enjoy watching The Next Big Star!

I do have to report that a couple of weeks ago Hudsen busted his lip in the bathtub. This was his first big injury and was definitely very hard on not only him but his mommy and daddy too. The picture below is the best picture we could get of his busted lip. I will say that his lip is completely healed now and has no fear of the tub........mommy is a different story!!!

Who will it be.........

Okay, so I thought it would be fun to do this because EVERYONE says Hudsen looks just like Tim!

Tim and I were actually talking about this last night. When Hudsen was born, I think he really did look just like Tim. The older he gets the more I see me in him. I still just think he looks like Hudsen and a good mix of Tim and me!

Happy Weekend!

We had a WONDERFUL Valentine weekend. My mom got here on Saturday and stayed until Tuesday evening. We had so much fun and Hudsen enjoyed having his Nanny around. I have a large picture frame in our hallway with lots of pictures in it. On Tuesday night before Hudsen's bath, he walked up to it and just kept touching the picture of him and Nanny. He missed his Nanny. The next several pictures will walk you through our weekend!






When Nanny arrived, she delivered a very special Valentine to Hudsen from his cousin Ashton. In it was a package of smarties and he LOVED them.

Hudsen loves bubbles!!

Certified Heart-Breaker!!!

He loves to open presents!

I think he liked Nanny's present more!

Elizabeth came to visit on Sunday and delivered a Valentine to Hudsen! Yes, Tim and Hudsen are wearing the same shirt........So Cute!

Hudsen was so tired Monday morning, he fell asleep in the bathroom!

He LOVES his alphabet train!

We were so glad Nanny came to visit!

These next few pictures are just some of my favorites! We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Hudsen loves to play outside but we always have to make sure we have his blanket. That blanket goes EVERYWHERE!!!

I love this one!!!
