Swim Diaper Malfunction????

So, after dinner Josh said that he would take Hudson outside to swim & play while I cleaned up the kitchen. I told Josh to grab a swim diaper and put it on Hudson. Well, this is what poor Hudson had to deal with after being in the water for a few minutes!! This is just priceless :-)

Oh, did I forget to mention that Josh grabbed an overnight pull-up instead of a swim diaper..ha!! Hudson didn't even notice that he was carrying around 5 extra pounds.

Guesses~~When Hayes will Arrive & How Big

When I was pregnant with Hudson we made our families guess on the birthdate, time, weight, height, and length. We wanted to carry on the tradition with Hayes. I REALLY hope I win this, but only time will tell :-) Josh & I were talking last night about how ready we are to meet our newest little guy. I can't wait to hold him and give him kisses.

(poor quality photos--snapped pics from photo album)


Today Josh & I celebrated our 7th Anniversary of Marriage. The past 7 years have flown by. I remember getting ready for our wedding and so excited to be his wife. We have done some pretty amazing things, gone on great trips, but the best thing we have done is start our family. I am so lucky to have Josh as a husband and a father to Hudson & soon-to-be Hayes. He has helped me be a better Christian by his strong example. I can't thank him enough for that. I thank the Lord for blessing me with him!! I love you, Josh!! Happy Anniversary :)

I Heart Orange Push-Ups & Golf

Oh how I love to eat orange push-ups. I remember that I loved eating them as a kid. I saw them at Wal-mart one day and just had to get them. What kind of Mother would I be if I didn't introduce them to Hudson. He thought they were yummy. If you know Hudson that kid loves to eat so he had no trouble eating one :-)

Big belly is due to being pregnant & not eating tons of push-ups :-) ha

Like Father like Son

Josh cannot wait till Hudson is old enough to know how to play golf. He dreams of taking this little guy out on the golf course were they can play a full 18 holes of golf. I don't know what I will do with myself when all 3 of my boys are out playing golf some day....hmmm maybe get a pedicure!!

Father's Day 2011

Here is one of my favorite photos of Josh & Hudson (look at the love in Josh's face..priceless)

I cannot tell you how lucky I am to have Josh as the Father to Hudson. We have both learned so much about each other and what it means to be a parent these last 2 year. First of all, you never knew your heart could LOVE someone so fast. I remember Josh telling me that after Hudson was born and was getting checked out by the nurses.....He walked over to where Hudson was and said a few words to him. Hudson just looked over right at Josh knowing THAT was his Daddy's voice. Josh is a wonderful example of a man strong in his walk with Christ. I pray that Josh and myself are good examples for Hudson.

Josh and Hudson love to chase each other and wrestle. He is still a Momma's boy but he adores the attention & love he gets from his Daddy. We love you Hudson!! I cannot believe that next year we will have Hayes (10 months old by then) celebrating Father's Day, too!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Water Bug :-)

We have gone to the pool a couple of times this summer and have had a blast. Hudson is like a little water bug. He loves everything about it. Josh & Hudson are like two peas in a pod when it comes to playing in the water :-) I love my boys!!

Little Laugh

Hudson was in the living room just laughing like crazy. I went in and, of course, he was laughing at Curious George. Hudson loves, I mean LOVES, Curious George. I just had to capture that laugh on video!! Enjoy
