Happy Birthday Hudson!

Today is a special day...Happy Birthday Hudson!! I thought that I would start the birthday off the way my mom started it off with me and Keyli; 2 years ago today I was blessed with the most precious gift God could give me, a sweet 7 lb 11 oz baby boy! I was told right before I had Hudson that I was getting ready to experience the greatest love, much greater than anything I had ever experienced.  They were so right! I now can’t wait to get up in the mornings to him calling my name from down the hall, ok ok I mean from right in between me and Tyler! We hear this sweet little voice say, “mama....dat....MAMA...DAT, UP PEASE, CARRRRS!!”

Even though he is just two I love to just sit back and watch him. He is such a sweet spirited little guy. He loves to please everyone around. He is just a LITTLE stingy with his toys; he only hides them if he knows someone else might be interested in playing with them! Hahaha!! Tyler’s mom Mawmaw and Tyler’s dad Papai (French accent) as Hudson called them until last night in which their names turned to Memaw and Papi. See these names Memaw and Papi were given to them by our sweet nephew Grady who is just 6 months older than Hudson. Hudson just gave them his own twist for a little while!! Anyway, the point to that was Tyler’s parents said that Tyler was the same way with his toys! Hudson loves for you to always pay attention to what he is doing. He will look at you, run to the couch, pat it and say sit pease! As I mentioned before Hudson loves cars, trucks, and anything with big wheels. Since we had his party right before Christmas so that Tyler’s sister Amy, her husband Justin, and cousin Grady from Hagerman, New Mexico could be there you cannot and I repeat, CANNOT move in our house! There are so many cars, trucks, tool sets, movies, bouncy balls, and anything else a 2 year old could ask for throughout our living room and Hudson’s bedroom! We have had to get rid of everything but the computer and Tyler’s gun safe in the “man room” so that we would have a place to put everything!!

I just can’t believe my baby Hudman is 2! Where does the time go? Here is just a little bit about him thus far:

Shoe size: 9

Shirt size: 3T or 4T

Pant size: 2T or 3T for length

Favorite food: pudding, yogurt, Justaburger plain and dry from Whataburger, lots of ketchup, and any kind of fruit but mainly blueberries

Favorite toy: CARS big Trucks!

Favorite thing to do: collect sticks, dig in the dirt, and play outside

Favorite shoes: his Texas Tech boots of course!!

Favorite shirt: any shirt with a big truck or choo choo on it

Everyone’s names:

Me: Mama                   My mom: Nan

Tyler: Dat                    My dad: Pa
Connie: Gum               Doug: Papi
Keyli: Keykey             Paula: MeMaw

Dee: D                          Ella:  No Ellya

Fast Update!

To update everyone who doesn’t see us much...my sweet Hudson will be 2 on the 29^th and I really can’t believe it, where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday that I had been stuck on bed rest for almost a month as Christmas was quickly approaching with strict rules NOT to travel! FUN TIMES! I joked that “baby boy no name” (yes, that is the name Dr. Lamar gave him because we couldn’t decide or should I say Tyler couldn’t decide!) would come after everyone left to go home! Hahahahahahaha...never make a joke! So, Monday morning at 2 am, yes 2 am less than 12 hours after our families had left to go back near and far, contractions started! I had already visited the nice nurses in the labor and delivery at United Regional on more than one occasion thinking I was in labor. Oh ho ho, was I ever soooo wrong!!! The one statement that kept replaying in my mind as I was clinching the bathroom counter trying not to wake up Tyler (as I was secretly saying sweet thoughts about him to myself), “sweetie, you’re not in labor! You wouldn’t be talking to me and you defiantly wouldn’t be letting him (referring to Tyler) touch you!” Boy was she right!! Totally different feeling!! Anywho, just 17 short hours and 47 long minutes later there he was, my little Tyler legged, Bunton lipped, 7 lb 11 oz, 21 ¾ inch Hudson Martin Dray! So here we are almost 2 years later growing like a little weed!

Here is a little bit about Hudson:

He is obsessed with the movie Cars. We have watched it so many times, that not only Hudson but Tyler and I both catch ourselves quoting the movie from the other room as it is playing for only the 100^th time! Hudson loves blueberries, and when I say loves that is an understatement! Willy Wonka flashes through my head often as he shovels them in one handful after another! He doesn’t really care for milk but we defiantly take care of that food group with the “nook” aka yogurt, and the after every meal “poodinnnn” aka pudding that he basically inhales! Hudson’s toys of choice are big trucks and tractors! Vroom vroom is what he says as he uses me as his very own racetrack!

I am going to really try and keep this updated as best I can so ENJOY!!

After a few requests...

I have had several people stop me and tell me that I need a blog!! I admit at first I was like NO WAY, I am a horrible picture taker/scrapbooker mother of one who does good to make the every three month photography appointment with DeEdra!! It wasn’t until last weekend when I attended a Christmas party at Beth’s and saw “THE BOOK!” Yes, a blog book that she had printed of her blog, hardback and all!! Sooooo cool! How neat is it that you can write whatever, whenever, and post pics to go with and eventually print it in ONE book! Not to mention that friends and family from all over can keep up with what all is going on with us! So here goes nothing...Welcome to our blog!
