It's A............

BOY!!!! Yes, we are having another little boy! I am so excited for Hudsen to have a little brother to play with!! We went to the Dr. today for my regular monthly appointment and everything looks good. She only has a small ultrasound machine in her office used for initial and gender check ultrasounds. The little guy was not shy at all, he is very proud to show off that he is a boy!!! We have our 20-week ultrasound on Oct. 18th and I will post pictures then!! We have a few names that we are throwing around but haven't settled on one yet.

Catching Up!!

Oh my!! I have a lot of catching up to do!!! Hudsen and I went to Plainview at the end of August. We went for my nephew's birthday and to meet my new niece!!! Ashton turned 6 this year and started kindergarten! I can't believe he is old enough to be in school. Hudsen had so much fun playing with him and Ashton is so good with him!! We also got to meet Stella!! She is beautiful and Hudsen loved her too!! We missed Tim for the 10 days that we were gone but we had so much fun visiting family!! This was our last trip where we did not have to pay for Hudsen to ride the plane! I can't believe the next time we book a flight we will have to pay for him!! He is growing up so fast and is so much fun! He is always so happy! We are getting more teeth and I hope that with more teeth comes more eating. Hudsen eats like I did, he picks. I guess I turned out okay so I probably shouldn't worry.......but isn't that what mom's do, worry!!! He learns something new every day and is definitely our little problem solver.
Story Time: Every night we have to take something from downstairs upstairs when we go up to take a bath. The other night Hudsen wanted to take his baseball and glove upstairs. Now he walks up the stairs with only us hanging on to an arm or hand and he holds the rail. When I saw him wanting to take TWO things up, I told him to wait for me because I needed to put his milk in the refrigerator. When I came around the corner he had already made it up 2-3 stairs. "How?" you ask. Well, he put his glove on his head, baseball in other hand and his free hand was able to hold the railing!!!! Definitely our problem solver!!!

About us: I am feeling great!! I have started to feel the little baby move and can't wait for it to be strong enough for Tim and Hudsen to feel!! Tim will finish school in 2 months and we are so excited!!! He is in his next to last class! Hudsen and I are so very proud of him!! What we do after school is out is still up in the air but we look forward to whatever God leads us to do!!!


Hudsen loves Emma!!!


The night of the problem solving! I couldn't get the camera fast enough to get a picture of him going up the stairs with the glove on his head!!!

Baseball

This past Friday, we had a family date night!! Tim has been working so hard with work and school, so we take advantage of any time that we get to spend together!!

Our date night started by eating at Baja Fresh, one of our favorites! It was dark when we left.....welcome fall!! It starts getting dark sooner out here too because of the mountains. With it being dark and not being able to go to the park, we went to Wal-Mart. I needed to get some groceries and I wanted to start looking for ideas for Hudsen's Birthday and Christmas! Tim decided to take Hudsen down the baseball aisle and this is how we ended up! Hudsen picked out everything, starting with the batting helmet. He then picked a bat and ball. Tim put the glove in the basket but he wanted it out........."You don't need a glove when you are batting Dad, come on really!" I think that is what he was saying to us anyway! He then wore the helmet through Wal-Mart. He did not want to take it off and he looked so cute! We finally got it off without any crying but we decided to go ahead and buy it and put it up for his birthday! What a fun surprise for him!! Baseball in his DNA........what do you think?

In other fun news..........Hudsen is going to be a BIG BROTHER!!! We are expecting Watts baby #2! I am 16 weeks and due March 5th! We get to find out what we are having in about 2 1/2 weeks! We are very excited and I will keep you posted once we know if Hudsen is having a Little Sister or Brother!!! Pictures of the new baby, named Widget by my big sister Amy, to come!

THE ZOO

I LOVE Family Vacation!!! This year we decided to take Hudsen to The San Diego Zoo! We normally do a baseball game weekend but I didn't know if Hudsen would sit through a 3 hour game. Tim and I love this Zoo, it is very special to us and we wanted to share it with Hudsen. We also wanted to escape the heat of Las Vegas for a couple of days! Escape we did, we went from 106 degrees in Vegas to 68 degrees in San Diego! It was wonderful. We stayed on Mission Bay and had a beautiful view of the bay from our room. One regret is that we didn't go swimming in the pool but it was a little too cool! We saw so many cool animals and had so much fun! We just love being together!

Our room the night we got there. Hudsen was so excited and had to check everything out. He did not go to bed until 1:30am but slept the whole night. He woke up and was so excited to be in the same place with all the cool things he found the night before.



Our view from the balcony. For once we actually got a room with a good view! We also overlooked the pool. They had 3 waterslides at the pool, so it was fun to see all the kids going down!



Here are some of the animals we saw!

Reading the Zoo map, helping us find our way!

Nap Time!

The Zoo was definitely a hit. Hudsen had so much fun, as did Tim and I!!

We can't go to San Diego without going to Coronado Island. This is another special place for Tim and me and again we wanted to share it with Hudsen!

My favorite picture of the day!

Hudsen loved the beach and we had so much fun playing with him!! We had a wonderful Family Vacation this year and can't wait for next year!!!
