The culprit...

Hudsonisms

This age brings much laughter! It is hilarious the things that Hudson comes up with & the things that come out of his mouth.

Some of his latest antics:

If I ask him if he needs a clean diaper, he’ll respond with “Mrs. Jessica changed it.” Or Yaya, or Daddy, or somebody… He’s told me that Mrs. Jessica changed his diaper about 3 different times today… But the problem with that is that Mrs. Jessica is his teacher at school & he hasn’t been to school since yesterday! lol!

The other day, Eric said to me, “Do you know that he knows how to say T-E-X-A-C-O?” (he spelled the letters out so Hudson “wouldn’t know” what he was saying.) Well, that didn’t work! Before he could finish spelling the word, Hudson yelled TEXACO! We looked at each other & burst into laughter! How he knew what he was spelling I don’t know… But you should know that he LOVES the Texaco because his Poppa takes him their most afternoons for an Icee.

If he wants something that you aren’t letting him have, he so pitifully says “But I NEEEEEED it!”

Eric & Hudson were laying on the floor playing the other day. They each had a pillow. I walked into the room & just laid down beside Hudson. He looked at me, grinned, got up & went to the couch & brought me back a pillow. Sweet boy!

“Come on Poppa, let’s go!” Poppa is most definitely his favorite playmate.  Isn’t everyone’s favorite playmate the one who will play follow the leader & let you do anything you want to do! lol

“What happened” is probably the most heard phrase in our house these days! Hudson wants to know what happened with everything!!! Sadly our response is usually not appreciated so he just keeps on asking! I am so thankful for an inquisitive little boy!

One day Hudson put his tractor up on the couch & wanted me to look at it. I made a big deal out of how silly that tractor was being up on the couch because tractors were supposed to be in the dirt not sitting nice & pretty on a couch! Well, now that tractor is the “silly tractor.” Every time Hudson sees the tractor, he points & says “Mommy, there is that silly tractor!” He gets the cutest little grin & immediately starts laughing. Love him!!

This age can be pretty rough, but it can also be so sweet & so much fun! Loving my little man through all the different stages!

My 30th birthday!

Let me just say that I have the best family & friends!!! I’m pretty sure I could put my group up against anybody’s & win!

My 30th bday was on June 3.  That was a Friday. Eric was going to be working in our yard doing our new landscaping all day that Friday, so he & I made plans to go out & celebrate on Saturday night. My friends were taking me out on Friday. Nobody would tell me what we were doing & I was okay with that! Just going with the flow! (I know that is a shock! I’m usually the one that likes to be in control & in the know!) They told me to be ready at 4:30 on Friday afternoon & somebody would come & pick me up!
So, Nicola showed up to get me & off we went! First stop…. Jessie’s house for a Paint Party! It was SO much fun!!! I loved it & we all said we wanted to do it again! They had fixed the most yummy snacks & put out cute “30” decorations! Thanks ya’ll for doing all that for me!!

And… little did I know, the night didn’t stop there!! After we finished painting, we loaded up & headed West! About the time we took Pierremont Road exit off 49 in Shreveport, I was pretty sure we were headed to Superior!! I hadn’t said anything, but about the time Hillary started stressing out because she couldn’t see the car we were following, I told her to keep going straight & take a right at the light…. She looked at me & started laughing! “Do you know where we are going?!” lol! I told her I was pretty sure we were going to Superior at that point!

So, as we are walking up to the restaurant, Jessie tells me that I need to go in first. I look at her like she is crazy, but proceed. I walk in & there are most of our better halves! We had such a fun  night!!! My first surprise party every & they pulled it off! The icing on the cake was all of the mexican waiters bringing out a Strawn’s pie & singing happy birthday to me! It was HILARIOUS as they sang “shake it mamacita.” I was so embarrassed! We all laughed a ton! Isn’t that when memories are made?! Love my hubby & my girls! Thanks Jessie, Hillary, Sheree, Nicola & Tara for planning this with Eric!!

Splash Party!!

Sorry for the picture overload!!! A fun time was had by all!! The kids were entertained for 2 solid hours & as you can see, the parents got to sit back & relax in the shade!!

Hudson is 2!

I’m quite frustrated with blogger at the moment… It has not let me publish a post for a month!! Seriously, I’ve typed a “Happy Birthday, Hudson” post multiple times & it would never post it!! I finally downloaded Windows Live Writer tonight & am trying this route!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY, HUDSON!!!

I really cannot believe it has been 2 years since my sweet boy entered this world! He has certainly brought so much joy to us & je keeps us on our toes constantly!

What is Hudson up to at 2 years old?

He is talking in complete sentences & complete thoughts & it is so great! He pretty much talks all of the time. He asks questions constantly & is not shy about telling us what he wants! “What happened?” is heard no less than 100 times at our house each day. I try to find different ways to answer the same question, but eventually I become at a loss for words because it doesn’t really matter what answer I give him.. He’s going to keep on asking! lol!

He loves to play chase & his love of golf clubs is already very evident! His Poppa has made sure he has a minature set handy at all times!

At his 2 year well baby visit, he was 38.5 inches tall (equivalent to 6’5” as an adult) & 37 lbs. I hope we have a baseball pitcher on our hands! Less injuries than in football!

Hudson moved up to the 2 year old room at school & didn’t skip a beat. He’s moving up to the next Sunday School class at church in a week so hopefully that will go well, too!

Hudson is 100% all boy.. Loves to play rough & is active from the time he wakes up until we put him in his crib. He goes full speed every second of every day! Nothing sweeter than those moments where he slows down long enough to come give me a kiss & “noses” as we like to call eskimo kisses!

Another post is coming with birthday party pictures!
