Happy 1st Birthday Huddy!

That's right! Hudson is now a 1-year-old! It is so hard to believe that our tiny baby is turning into a little boy! He is growing so fast and developing quite the personality! We had his party on his actual birthday the 24th of July. We just had a family party here at our house and had a little get-together. Hudson had croup the previous week and been on steroids so he wasn't quite his normal spunky self, but he still had a good time and still wondered why there were so many people in his house! He loved his cake! He didn't know for sure if he liked the icing on his hands or not, but once he tasted it, he decided quickly that he really liked it. When he was finished, he let me know by dumping the rest of the cake in the floor!(and it went EVERYWHERE!) Here are a few ton of pictures of my little birthday boy!

Cake by Leighann

My 2 grandmothers, my moms mom in the purple and my dads mom in the brown, aka Memaw and Nanny!

I think he is trying to figure out which toy to get out and open...

The beginning...

The End.

(See the remaining cake on the tray, that's what went in the floor)

Commenting 7-day Challenge

Jenna is having a week long blog commenting challenge I urge you to participate in! Everyone kinda gets in a blogging/commenting rut, so this is a great way to help jump-start our blogging again! Me, on the otherhand, I read and check peoples blog constantly, but when I am reading them from my phone, its such a pain having to sign in 200 times and then do the stupid word verification... so to complete this challenge, I am going to not be lazy and comment even if I have to type my email address 10 different times!

Heres the challenge: For one week, let's visit at least 10 blogs each day and leave a comment on them.

It's that easy! Leave me a comment and let me know you stopped by! Have a great Sunday afternoon! Ohh... Be sure to check back tomorrow! Hudsons special 1st birthday post will be up!

Beach 2010

Here are the photos my friend Misti took while we were at the beach. The storm was rolling in and we didn't get as many shots as we wanted but I'm sure glad to have these few memories of my sweet family. (please excuse my terrible wind destroyed hair, the wind was crazy and sand was blowing in our faces like crazy!) Hopefully we can see our beaches look that pretty and clean again!

Colsons Birthday Present

Yesterday I mentioned we were going to get the rest of Colson's present. Well we went to Romancing the Stone in North Little Rock to purchase some hermit crabs. We ended up coming home with 3 little guys, 4 extra shells for them to change into: a spongebob, superman, batman, & spiderman, 2 hermit huts: a baseball and a spiderman, food, coral, a 50lb bag of sand, and all the other goodies that come along with owning crabs. We got them all settled in last night in my parents old aquarium. Colson has had so much fun learning about them and playing with them, (well, until they pinch him.) He also loves the fact they get to live in his room. Here are our new family members, Phineus, Ferb, and Candice (as in the show on Nickelodeon!) They are in the orange, red and yellow shells for now.


















Hope everyone has a good weekend!

The Party

We had reserved the pool to have Colsons birthday party at. But here lately, we have been having a lot of summer rain showers, (which is very rare, usually at this point in July, everything has already burned up, due to the lack of rain, so I'm not complaning!) and it just so happend to start pouring down rain Sunday afternoon until about 6:30, and the party was at 7. Not just rain, but thunder and lightening too. So I had to make a decision on what we would do. We weren't going to cancel his party, (he would never understand), so I made a call to my friend Jaime who just so happens to own Touchdown Sally's here in Benton, told her the situation, and she told us she would be ready for us to crash her restaraunt at 7:30. She totally saved our party. I called all the parents and all our family and told them the change of plans. We ended up having a great time and the party went perfect! **For the record, we went to the pool to tell the lifeguards what was going on and they told us they understood. We got the restaraunt and not there was nothing but blue skies and no rain the entire party. Go figure!** Here are a few pictures!

Colson turns 5!!

Yes, you read that right! My little Colson is 5 years old! I have no idea how that happened! Its like I blinked and here he is, turning 5, and starting Kindergarten.

Colson turned 5 on July 6th, so we told him he could pick where he wanted to eat. He chose the "Shu-Shu" place, aka Sakura. He loves eating there and he always eats such a good dinner. We met my parents, and my nephew Braden there, and we stopped and picked up his buddy Eli, and had our own little party there.

We are going to get the last part of his birthday present tonight. I'll blog about it tomorrow! It will be funny!
