Oh Christmas tree...

We took Hudson over the weekend to a Christmas tree farm to pick out a tree.  He wasn't so much impressed with the trees...he was much more interested in riding the hay ride.  He LOVES tractors!!!

And here are just a bunch of random happenings....

 One of my good friends from college, Emeigh, was in town so we met for dinner one night.  Our boys had a blast playing!!

 Old friends!  Miss them!!

 Hoping for a Rangers win...instead we got a loss and then lost all of our favorite players :(  We will miss you Kinsler and Murphy!!

 Finally time to pull out the Christmas jammies and Mohawk!

 Made the mistake of letting Hudson see one of his Christmas presents early....he is OBSESSED with these house shoes.  They are now hidden in a secret location until Christmas day!

 first ride of the Carousel at the mall...he loved it!

 Yee haw!!!

 Hud and his two besties...Santa and Ghostie!

 Like father, like son

 watching cartoons with Ghostie!

 Aunt Patty got to babysit for the night...CRAZY!!!

 Love me some Nanny Patty!!

 Cute boy all ready for bed!

Can't believe that this crazy man will be two next month!!

Halloween 2013

Hudson has a great 2nd Halloween...well, he did after we put away the shark costume.  I originally bought him a very cute little shark costume complete with a fin on his back and shark hat.  He HATED it!!  He would not get anywhere near it.  He would scream if it even came in the same room.  So...we had to resort to wearing glow in the dark skeleton pajamas.  He did really good at trick or treating.  He would walk up to the door and say "knock, knock" and then wait for his candy!  Most of the time when people opened the door he would just start to walk in their house, haha.  And then he would do the sign language sign for Thank You, which looks like he is blowing a kiss...so of course the neighbors loved that.  Here are just a few pics...

Photo Shoot for Millie

Ryan's mom has a very pretty painted picture of Ryan from when he was a little boy.  He is wearing a little sailor outfit.  When Hudson was born she gave the outfit to me.  So for Millie's bday this year we did a little photo shoot with Hudson in the sailor outfit.

Wedding Crasher

Hudson is a big fan of weddings.  Not so much the sit down and be good part...he is more into the dancing and eating.  We went to my cousin Kayla's wedding over the weekend and Hudson was the start of the dance floor.  Apparently  he forgot the wedding was about the beautiful bride and her new husband.  Oh no... on the dance floor it was all about Hudson and his cousins.  Poppa took some video, so hopefully I will upload it soon.  Until then...here are some pics...

Colorado trip and Hud updates

I was lucky enough to take a trip recently to the beautiful Colorado.  I went with Aunt Patty to visit my cousin Carmen in Denver.  We spend the weekend in Vail, hiking and enjoying the views!!  It was a great trip.  Meanwhile...Hudson was home with Daddy catching up on some Aggie football.  Hudson has been doing all sorts of fun stuff lately.  He is saying new words constantly.  His new word today is "purple", which he says with a lot of enthusiasm.  He can also make sounds for a cow, sheep, cat, dog, bee, fish, skunk, and duck.  He is getting much better at his shapes and can occasionally recognize some colors.  He still loves books, we read about a million a day.  And he has recently become obsessed with balls.  He likes to throw the tennis ball for Reese and watch her fetch it.  Very cute. He still has some pretty sweet dance moves, his favorite songs are "The Harlem Shake" and a techno song that comes in during commercial breaks of the noon news.  As our church pastor would say, he is just a thug in Huggies.  Enjoy some pics..

Like Father, like son
