Fun At The Zoo!

Trent and I took the kids to the zoo a week ago and had a blast. I hate that the zoo has no hippos. They are my favorite animal. I have no idea why but I loves me some hippos. The funny guy in the picture is our neighbor Justyn. He is so funny. When ever we go somewhere and Trent can't go he is my backup Trent. haha. Him and his wife are so sweet to help with the crazy kiddos. The weather was so awesome the day we went. I think that is one reason it was so fun.

Happy Birthday Harlee

Harlee I just wanted to tell you how much daddy and I love you! We are so proud of the girl you are becoming. You have such a special mission here on earth, and we are so lucky to be a part of it. We can't wait to see what comes next. Always remember to be kind to everyone and have GRACE in every situation.

Just some summer stuff.

This was a picture of Hudson after he fell down the stairs. It was so funny because once it scabbed up a little boy at church asked why he had beef jerky on his nose. It really looked like he did. The girls thought that was so funny they kept asking me to tell the story about the boy at church who said that funny thing about Hud. Silly girls.

Poor little guy had this scab for like two weeks. Just as it was getting ready to heal he went and fell again and scraped it even worse. Where do my kids get the clumsiness from? Not me!

Ever since my sister Emily has moved in this is what she does to my girls. She is so funny and the girls love it. But Pres has such thin hair the hairspray just can't quite hold in the poof and curl. But man she looks so cute for those five minutes.

Just a few cute pictures of the kids in daddy's clothes. They love dressing up in his clothes.

Sisters are the best! Who did they learn that pose from? I know Emily. My sister poses just like them. She always looks like she is modeling for a magazine. Work it girl.

Forever right?

It seems like forever since I have posted anything but here is why? Hudson Had surgery 4 days after his birthday and it has been a little crazy since. It took him about 3 weeks to really get back to my sweet little Hudson. Harlee had graduation from preschool and is now moving on to kindergarten. Wow does time fly of what! I know people say it a lot but it seems like just yesterday I had her. They grow up way to fast and don't even ask. Anyway here are a few pictures of the last month. Oh and Trent and I are playing soccer 4 night a week and softball one night a week. So forget about any free time in the evening to blog. Sorry! But we love!


This is the first time he sat up all by himself. Cute little sad man!

This is him laying in his bed. I was afraid to take him out. I didn't want to hurt him.

I hated to see him sit up but if he didn't get to he freaked and tried to sit up. That hurt him way more so I just let him do what ever he wanted.

This was him in the recovery room. I just sobbed when I saw him. He didn't look like the Hudson I was used to. He was so swollen and groggy. It just broke my heart to see him like that!

This was his bed he spent the whole day in. He wanted me to hold him but they wouldn't let me for the first few hours. I was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Just sit and watch him cry and not get to hold him and love him better. He just needed his mommy! Jerks!

This is a picture of the anesthesiologist taking him back to surgery. I hate that part. It is probably the worst part, well the second worst part. The worst part is the recovery room. They are so sad and groggy, it sucks.

This is him waiting to go to surgery. What a funny little dude. He loved standing on that
freaky little bed. He had no idea what was about to happen to him.

Here he is in the waiting room to get the green light on the surgery!

I love how they have so many fun toys in the waiting room. I think it is so mean to let them play and then take them away minutes later and cut them open. Sick people.

Just one last picture of us happy for one of the last times for a few weeks.

Okay so on a lighter note Harlee had graduation and it was so cute! Her pictures make me laugh. She was a Swiss girl in the play and had to hold hands with a boy. She laughed when ever anyone asked her about it. How crazy is it that I have a daughter that is 4 and sooo boy crazy. I guess it happened just like my mom always said "One day you are going to have a daughter just like you" Thanks a lot mom now I have tow. One that loves boys and one that needs Ritalin. Just kiddin. It is a good thing they are so darn cute and keep me laughing all the time! Plus they still love my hugs and kisses. I am just thankful I have a sweet little mamas boy to cuddle still. For now he is just my little love bug. Hopefully he stays that way. Here are a few pictures of her big day. Man she is cute!

Her and her Boy!

Pres being Pres. She always has a smile on her face. It makes you think she so sweet. She is, but when she smiles like that I know she is thinking about something crazy she can get into. Love that little thing.

This is Hud three days after surgery with grandpa Boyd. He was so sweet to come and see Har.

My mom and day also came and watched Har. They are always so good to come and support the grand kids. The kids are so lucky to have such amazing grandparents on both sides!

Me and my beautiful mom and sis. Thanks aunt Em and uncle Bri for coming. Har Loved it.

Har singing her songs with all her friends and sucking her thumb! I sure hope that stops some time soon. I am sure it won't but a mom can hope right? Anyways it was a fun day. Thanks everyone who came. We love you all.

Happy Birthday Little Buddy

Today was Hudson's birthday and all my family got together to celebrate. It was awesome because we got to celebrate mothers day to. Man when he gets married he is going to hate sharing his birthday with his wife. Well maybe it will be great because he also gets a gift on mothers day. Anyways I just wanted to tell everyone thanks for the gifts and thanks for coming. We all are so lucky to have such a close family. The party was great. These are just a couple pictures of HUD opening his presents and eating his cake. He did much better this time with the cake. I also wanted to tell Hudson how much we love and adore him. I could not imagine my life without his special spirit. He was sent to us for a reason. My kids are my pride and joy and I thank my heavenly father for them every night. My husband ain't that bad either. I hope you had a great day. Cant wait for the years to come and watching you grow up. Love you so much.

Hudsons Birthday

I am so lucky to have a sister in law who is an amazing photographer. She did such a great job taking these pictures and Hudson had fun to. At most places the kids hate getting their pictures taken but at my sisters house Hudson had a blast. She has done pictures for my friends to and they all say how much fun it was. Thank you so much Alicia for doing these pictures for us. We love you to death and appreciate everything you guys do for us. These are some of my favorite pictures. The funny thing was Hudson was so afraid of the giant cupcake and cried the whole time yet Alicia managed to get some cute pictures. I don't know how all I know is that she rocks. He must get the afraid of cake thing from Trent because I have never met a cake I wasn't best friends with. Me and cake know each other well and are in love. Sorry Trent I have always been this way. I just hope it does not catch up with me. Oh well if it does I will always love it.

Catching Up

For the last couple weeks we have not really done much. We are finishing our basement for my sister Emily to move into. That has taken up most of our free time. The last week I went to St. George with my sisters. We had so much fun other than the fact I got everyone sick and forgot my camera. I felt like such a jerk for getting everyone sick. I had to steel these pictures from my sister in law Alicia because I had no camera. Sorry girl. We had so much fun swimming at the pool. My awesome sisters took my girls hiking and put together an Easter egg hunt. Brave girls to take Preslie hiking. She is a crazy one. Thanks for a great trip ladies my kids had such a blast. Oh and here are a few pictures of the kids in their Easter stuff right before church. They had just showered so their hear is wet. They looked cuter after I did their hair but of course I forgot to take another picture. I am such a bad mom but at least I got one picture of them together right.
