Hudson turns one!!!!

Well, my little baby is no longer a baby. He is now a little boy. Hudson celebrated his first birthday on the 25th of March. We had a family get together on that day(see pictures at the bottom), then on the 29th we had a party for Hudson with friends and family at the park. It was a lot of fun. The first year flew by and it seems to get more fun by the day. Hudson is a cute little boy who loves to be outdoors, loves balls, loves Buster (feelings may not be mutual), loves food, loves walking, loves giving kisses and loves his mommy and daddy.

Hudson has brought Nate and I so much joy the past year. Our lives have been completely turned upside down and we love every minute of it. We have enjoyed watching him grow up and change right before our eyes. We love him more than we could ever imagine and we can't wait to see what one more year brings!

Yummy!

Birthday Boy!

Long time no blog...

Sorry about the long gap in between entries. We have been very busy with Hudson, visitors coming in and just life in general. Hudson is now one and had his first birthday party at the park. Hudson was also dedicated at church this past week. I will have to do these post another day, because it is getting late and I have to go to work tomorrow.

I did post some pictures of our spring break and Easter week. We had visitors from Michigan in town during this time and it was very fun. We kept them busy! We went to San Antonio to visit the Riverwalk, Alamo and Sea World. We also took them around the Houston area to visit different places. Well, enjoy the new post! More new ones to come!

Easter

This was Hudson's second Easter. We had a great day! We were able to celebrate this holiday with family and friends. It was so fun! Hudson still did not have a clue what was going on, but he did like searching for eggs and putting them in his mouth.

Yeah!!! We found one!

Spring Break

Okay, I have a lot to update everyone on. Nate and I spent our spring break with Nate's good friend Phil, his wife Kim and their kids Tina and Bryan. We did a lot!! We went to San Antonio for part of the week. In San Antonio we took them to see The Alamo, the Riverwalk, and Sea World. We also took them to the beach in Galveston. Here are a few pictures of our spring break!

Here are some pictures of Hudson's first trip to the beach. He had the best time and did not want to leave. Below are some pictures of us in San Antonio and Sea World. Enjoy!
