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!!!

Sick Boy

Our sweet Hudsen has had an ear infection. This is our first real experience with him being sick. He has had a fever, cough and runny nose. He has been put on antibiotics, motrin and a decongestant, all which he takes very well. Hopefully he will be better soon!!

Being sick is not going to keep him from playing with Emma!



Trying to get him to eat. He hasn't been eating well since he got sick. He looks like such a big boy!

All Smiles!

I just wanted to share a few pictures of Hudsen! He is growing up so fast and he brings so much joy to our lives!! He has the sweetest personality! We still have no teeth but I feel that we are close! Someday!! Anyway, enjoy!

He has really gotten into pulling his shirt up to show off his belly. Today he pulled it up and I poked his belly button and tickled him. After that, he walked around pulling his shirt up, looking at his belly and poking his finger in his belly button! Hilarious!!!

We refer to this cabinet as "Hudsen's Cabinet." He loves it, especially when I am in the kitchen cooking!!!

Emma is his best friend! He loves her and she is so good with him. He loves Chandler too, but Emma comes around him more!

Walking

I feel like walking is a HUGE milestone that we have failed to blog about. Hudsen started walking right before Thanksgiving and has been on-the-go ever since! It is the cutest thing to watch him just toddle around.....honestly, anything he does is cute.

Christmas

Sorry this is so late but we had A LOT of pictures to go through and pick out to share. We had a few Christmas celebrations this year.

We start with our first one at Grandma and Grandpa's......aka Ellen and King!




Our favorite thing is stockings and Hudsen picked up the fun in them really quick. He loved looking in a pulling things out!!










He loved his alphabet train from Brian and Erin.

He also loved his bouncing turtle! We had a wonderful Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa.

For our next one, we move to our house a few days later. We had these two early because we traveled to Plainview this year!

We have to show the kitties playing with their presents!!

Again, we love stockings!!!

We always love opening presents from our Alaska family! Isn't this cap so cute!!

Hudsen got several baseball toys and this one is a t-ball set! He knew exactly where the ball went, we did not coach him, he did this on his own!! Baseball is in his blood!

Our family Christmas 2009! It was wonderful!

We started for Plainview on the 23rd and arrived on Christmas Eve to lots of snow!!! We drove this year and I told Tim that was the last time. It is getting harder the older Hudsen gets but we made it. We didn't run into weather until 30 miles west of Amarillo and it still wasn't as bad as it could have been. We made it and that's all that mattered!

Christmas morning! Santa even knew we were in Plainview! By the way.......the rocking chair was mine that my Granny got for me and I was able to pass it on to Hudsen. My mom sent it to the North Pole to be painted and delivered on Christmas Day to Hudsen!!!

I love these two pictures of everyone! Family time is the best part of the holidays!!

The first gift that Hudsen opened was an airport from Nanny and Pappy.....aka my mom and dad!

He loved it so much we had to put it together right then.

The finished product.......he had a lot of fun while we were there playing with his airport.

I feel like I need to explain this picture! This is me and my little sister Kiley, who by the way is expecting her 2nd baby in August!!! We are so excited. But back to the picture. There are a lot of things for babies that we have always said, "I wish they made those for big people" and one of those items are the footed sleepers. Well....... they do make them for big people because my older sister, Amy, found them and gave them to Kiley and me for Christmas! We are always so cold and these are the best. I actually slept in mine that night and never once got cold!! They are awesome, Thank you Amy!

Hudsen also got his first haircut while we were there.

Doesn't he look happy to be getting his hair cut!!

Haircut by Nanny. It looks so good and don't worry, he still has curls!!!

The rest of the time there was spent eating and playing with all of our toys!!

And warming up to Pappy!!



And more snow!!

Tim's birthday is the 26th and we went out to eat....mexican food....our favorite and then to Amy and Leon's house for cake, ice cream and presents! He had another party when we got back with the Watts family, so I will post those pictures next!

We made our way home on New Year's Eve and drove the whole way! We had a wonderful Christmas and we hope that you did too. Best of wishes to everyone in 2010.
