Hudson's Second Birthday

We had a great Memorial Day weekend at the lake with Maw Maw, Paw Paw, Uncle Chad, Aunt Amy, Grace, and Olivia celebrating Hudson's second birthday! He had a great time swimming, going on a boat ride, playing with lots of cars and trucks, hitting the golf ball with daddy, going on golf cart rides, and eating cake! Here's to the upcoming year of the Terrific Two's!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Boy!

A Year Ago....

At your 2nd Birthday Party!

You're still loving your cake and mama is still loving those sweet blue eyes! Hudson, it is so hard to believe that you are already two years old! You are a sweet, loving, car and truck playing, independent, hilarious, outdoor boy. You continue to bring so much joy and laughter into our family. When you are awake, you are always on the go. You love to run "fast" and I love how your tuck your arms up underneath you when you're trying to go really fast. You love for someone to call out, "one, two, three, GO!!". In typical two year old fashion, you have become very independent and love to do things by yourself. Of course, sometimes mommy and daddy don't let you and you can get quite frustrated. You still love to be outside and love to play with your big trucks and hunt for rocks and sticks and bugs. So far you have found a lady bug, ants, a frog and a catepillar. You're still a great little sleeper. You go to bed around 8 at night and wake up around seven just in time to tell daddy bye before he leaves for work. You like to watch him as he pulls out of the drive way and love y'all's special routine of him flashing his lights and honking his horn at you. You take one nap in the afternoon around 1:30 for two to three hours. Let's hang on to this as long as possible, deal? You have become a little pickier eater and definitely have an opionion about what you would like more of. You still LOVE milk and would drink a million glasses a day if I would let you. You had your first "real" sickness this past week while you and I were visiting Maw Maw and Paw Paw. It is called Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. You had a high fever, a rash all over your body and wouldn't eat or drink anything for several days. I think you literally spent almost every waking hour for three days in either Maw Maw or Mommy's arms. It was very hard to see you so sick and made me so thankful for each healthy day we have with you! Your daddy and I are so very proud of you Hudson and are having so much fun watching you grow into the boy God made. We pray for you everyday and are so excited to continue watching his awesome plans unfold. May you always seek His glory first and always keep that bright blue eyed excitement for his world. We love you dear son.

While our kitchen is being renovated, Hudson and I have been spending time with Maw Maw and Paw Paw both at the lake and in Stone Mountain. We have both been spoiled rotten and are loving it:) This past weekend, Eric joined us at the lake and he and Hudson had a great time swimming in the pool and playing outside. I love to see how much Hudson LOVES his daddy!

Look how excited Hudson is to be getting mommy wet! Him and daddy were scheming against me all afternoon.

After watching Grace in the pool last weekend, Hudson quickly warmed up to being in the pool and loved to Jump! By the way, we love the farmer's tan daddy!

Enjoying Time in Georgia

On Wednesday, we went to the Yellow River Game Ranch with Maw Maw, Aunt Amy, Grace, Olivia and Grace's friend Aiden. I could not believe when we walked in the door and were immediately greeted by five deer all ready to eat right from our hands!! They even started going through my diaper bag and stole some of Hudson's snacks!! It was so fun. The kids loved seeing and feeding all the animals. Even the squirrels ate from his hands! Thanks for such a fun day Aunt Amy!
