Fun February!

We have had such a fun February! Beau's corporate kickoff was February 9, so the three of us made the trip to San Antonio. We stayed with Beau's parents the first night. What a great help they were - Hudson got sick for the first time while we were there. He was such a good sport about it, and it was nice to have experienced parents to help us first-timers out! Hudson and I moved to my mom's house, and then I got sick. Mom helped take care of Hudson for me - thank goodness for grandparents! We didn't get to do much while we were there, so we will be making the trip again soon.

The next weekend Hudson and I decided at the last minute to go to Hannah's 2 year old birthday party in Austin. It was such a great time (too bad the weather didn't cooperate), and the little one's loved running around the Kost's house doing crafts and getting their face painted. Hannah is adorable and so much fun to talk to! Then, this past weekend Mom and Tom came to Dallas for a visit. We had a great time playing cards together, hanging out at a park on Saturday and cooking dinner.We love having visitors! Here are some photos from the month...............

Hudson loved this waterfall! He stared and stared at this forever...

Dad's sunglasses don't fit yet - they sure taste good, though!

There was a "Technical Fair" that we just happened upon. This is me on TV doing the weather. It is so much harder than it looks on the news!

Hudson and Dad - best friends

Tom and Hudson - look, they match!

Beau's homemade margarita - he hated it, but drank it anyway. Yep, that is strawberry.

Quick Blog for a Quick Trip

Aunt Susan and Lauren drove up to visit us and Brittney on Tuesday. It was a quick trip, but so much fun. Lauren hasn't been back to Dallas in quite some time, and she had never seen our house, so it was great to finally get her here. Beau was so sweet to watch Hudson while all of the girls went to Campisi's and enjoyed the best pizza in the world! On Wednesday, Hudson had a Sam Moon shopping day combined with his first experience at a hot dog stand. Ok, not really a stand, but the famous Harry's on Knox. We had hot dogs and custard while Hudson snored in his seat. I can't wait until he can enjoy a great American Hot Dog!!!! And, if you have never been to Sam Moon, it is so not a place for babies or strollers. There are aisles and aisle of purses, bags, wallets, jewelry, scarves - definitely a place men love, so I thought I might as well get Hudson used to it....... He did great, and mommy found a few things she could not live without.

Lauren watched Hudson while mommy showered. He loved her reading books to him!

Hudson loves Aunt Sue Sue. I had to show this picture because you can see his chunky legs.....with two rolls each.

Thanks for coming to visit! We had so much fun!!!

One Busy Week!

We have sure had a super busy, fun week. I have realized that entertaining a 5 month old is a lot of work each day, so we HAVE to have at least one outing a day. I have also realized that I love gadgets that Hudson can sit in and be entertained, even if it's for 5 minutes. I remembered I got a Jumper as a gift, so the week started out with trying out the Jump & Go for the first time. Beau and I have been so anxious for him to try this out, we decided that Saturday was the day. We think he likes it?, we are really hoping he does! It is such a great place for him to sit while I am in the kitchen.

On Monday, Hudson had his first Little Gym class. It was a trial class to see if he liked it. Will Cook tried it out too, and they both told us thay want to be enrolled. They got to play with bubbles, bells, balloons, and a parachute. There are balance beams, mats, and lots of bright colors everywhere. They also met a lot of other friends to play with. What fun!

Tuesday we had a visitor come in town. Nana decided to come for a quick trip to see us. We were really excited, and so thankful she drove up, even though the wind was really bad. Hudson loved playing with Nana, and Nana let Beau and I got to go to dinner by ourselves! What a treat! Thanks for coming to visit!

Beau and I are big fans of the TV show, Lost, so on Thursday we went to a "Lost" watching party at my good friends, Clay and Betsy's house. Hudson had a lot of fun watching their son, William, and the adults enjoyed wine and pizza, and of course our favorite TV show - Lost.

Then to end our busy week, April and Will were so sweet to bring us lunch on Friday. We love having them over to play. Hudson and Will are becoming fast friends!

What a fun week!

This is the first time in the Jumper. What is all of this stuff?

Yep, I think he likes it.

This is Hudson's upset look. I have never in my life seen anyone turn out their bottom lip like this. I have been trying to get a picture - you can kind of see it here.

Nana and Hudson. So much fun!

This is our Lost watching party. Please notice my husbands hat - yes, it is a Lost hat. Does that make us too obsessed with this show?

Hudson and Will playing together.

Will is wiping a tear away. What a sweet friend.

They are trying to talk to each other. Will is asking Hudson to please stop rolling over on him.
