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
