Pierson is O*N*E!!

Pierson is now a Toddler...gulp...yes...a TODDLER!!! Where did this past year go?! We celebrated his first year with a cowboy party at our home with our family and close friends. We ate a BBQ lunch and the kids bounced in the bounce house. Pierson had the best time with everyone, but especially loved his CAKE, which I made from scratch complete with homemade peanut butter buttercream frosting. I thought it was fitting since we call him Peanut or Peanut butter baby...lol! He loved playing with the wrapped presents and curly ribbon, but wasn't to thrilled about sitting in dads lap to open them all...He is such a sweet boy! He is standing on his own and definitely on the verge of walking! He has 5 teeth and is currently getting some HUGE molars which doesn't feel too good. Motrin and origel are our BEST friends right now! Here are few pictures of the party:

Happy 7th Birthday Mason!

My oldest and incredibly smart (sometimes too smart for his own good lol) son Mason is 7! He wanted to play Laser tag this year and so that is exactly what we did! He invited 6 friends and we took them all to play laser tag at Main Event. They also got to bowl and play some games at the arcade! We ate pizza and the grandparents and his Aunt Kati stopped by just in time to sing "Happy Birthday" and eat some cake! He had a BLAST!! Not to mention all of the cool stuff he got for his birthday this year! We can NOT believe how fast the past 7 years have gone! Mason is losing his "baby" look and turning into a big KID! How did that happen? ugh! Before we know it girls will be calling and we won't be "cool" to be around anymore...
Oh Mason how we Love you!!! You are such a big helper and a GREAT big brother! You are smart, funny, and so loving...and super handsome! Daddy and I love you more than from the moon to the sea and back!
Thank you God for our precious son Mason. He is such a blessing in our lives!

Mason and his buddies!
He had to have the camo cake!

Back 2 School 2010

School started back this past Tuesday. Mason is now a 2nd grader and Hudson is a Kindergartner. We had been gearing up for school the past week or so and shopping for new clothes and shoes and all of that good stuff. Mason was not excited to go back, although he is super smart and does very well, he says school is boring...hmmm...Hudson was SUPER excited to go to the Big school with his Big brother! He has the same kindergarten teacher that Mason had too! After what seemed like a unusually LONG day at home with out them, Kyle and I were anxiously waiting in the driveway for the school bus to unload our precious babies! And there they came, running down to us with big smiles on their faces. Hudson was a chatty Kathy telling us all of the cool things he had gotten to do and how excited he was to go back the next day! So, we look over at a silent Mason and we ask him how his day was and he says...ummm good...only a little boring! HA! How different our boys are! I surprised them with warm chocolate chip cookies that I made before they got home, and we all sat at the table and talked about our days. It's so sweet to listen to their interpretations of things and the littlest details they remember. Sometimes Kyle and I just look at eachother and smile and we know what eachother is thinking at that moment...How so very blessed we are that God gave us these precious boys to raise. And how much we love them and love eachother is unmeasurable. Being the mom to my three boys is the BEST thing I have ever done in my life! I love every bit of it!!
Here are the Back 2 School pics...

Pierson is 9 months...

Our baby boy is 9 months old! I thank God everyday for such an awesome baby! He really is the BEST!! He has 2 1/2 teeth and likes to use them...lol! He is crawling and almost pulling up. He loves to snack on cheerios and banana slices and LOVES playing with his brothers on the floor!

Thank you God for this precious child that you have blessed our family with!

Country Boys

We took a short trip this weekend to just past Glen Rose, Texas...That is where my dad lives on 46 acres of land...It really is beautiful! My grandfather bought the land when I was a little girl and I remember going out there alot as I grew up. Kyle and I even got married there almost 9 years ago!
The boys had so much fun exploring, fishing, riding around on the golf cart, and hanging out with Grandpa (my dad). At one point Hudson saw me packing up our things and says "mom...are we leaving today?"...and I said "yes honey in a couple of hours..." and then he says, "awwww...I don't want to leave!...This is better than XBOX!" ahahahaha! I couldn't control my laughter! I thought, well...he must really be having a great time to say that! The boys packed their DS's and didn't play them once! It was so nice to see them playing and exploring and not getting bored AT ALL!! They are definitely all BOY!! Their hands and clothes were filthy 5 minutes after we got there...They did slow down for a few minutes for me to take a couple of pictures atleast! My dad took us down to the Paluxy river and the boys had so much fun sliding on the rocks and playing in the water. Pierson and I were just onlookers because I was afraid that we'd bust something on those slick rocks. BUT I think Pierson had just as much fun, although he can't say it yet! My grandma and aunt just ooo'd and aww'd over him the whole time and when he would smile they would just laugh and tell him how cute he is..lol! Here a couple of pictures from this weekend...I always say to the boys...we are making memories!

Hudson's Graduation

Hudson graduated from PreSchool yesterday! It was so cute to see all of the little kids dressed in their caps and gowns. Hudson was the cutest, of course.  :o)  

 When he was walking across the stage the teacher read a little bio on him. 

 It was cute to hear that he wants to be a police officer when he grows up. I often think about my boys personalities and try to predict what they will be like as adults and what career they will choose and so on...I do think Hudson may do something in engineering, because he loves to build and is very imaginative, but I also think a police officer or another type of authority figure would fit him because he LOVES to "correct" people when they are wrong...haha. He often corrects Mason and then explains the consequences, which is hilarious to hear! Mason always follows up with ...You are not my boss Hudson!!...

 I can't believe how fast these past 5 years have gone and I just know the next 13 will fly by and there will be my baby...walking across that stage getting his High School diploma. I would say that I do my best at trying to cherish every moment with my boys, but somehow it still seems like it's not enough! I definitely do not want to look back on their childhood and have any regrets! I hope that when my boys are grown that they can say that they had the best chilldhood and the best Mom! 

We are so Proud of Hudson and we love him more than words could ever express!

Happy 5th Birthday Hudson!!

I can't believe that my 2nd baby is 5!! It seems like just yesterday they were handing me this sweet little chubby cheeked bright eyed bundle. Hudson is an amazing little boy! I've been told by his teachers that he is very studious in class. He loves to sing every word and dance to his favorite songs. He loves playing outside with his buddies and loves to play sports and wrestle anytime! I would definitely say that he is ALL boy! He loves to build with his legos and he is very imaginative when playing with his cars and action figures. He loves Books and can already read a little! He is such a joy and can always make us smile...

This is Hudson as a newborn

 

This is Hudson now...My big 5 year Old Boy!!

Thank you God for giving us this precious boy!
