It's a bird, It's a plane, no it's Hudson!

For those of you who know Hudson know that he is very adventurous to say the least! He loves insects, dogs, cats (thank you Kate and Gus), cows, fishing, and anything to do with trash trucks or buses! Yes, trash trucks. He hears them 3 days a week coming down the alley at 6:15 and wakes up saying “trash truck, trash truck is here!”



Hudson skating for the first time!



Back to adventurous, last week, yes, 5 days before Monday, Hudson had been complaining about his arm hurting because he Superman it off a slide! Tyler called the doctor the next day and they said unless it swelled or turned colors not to worry about it. So....we didn’t!!! Sunday morning I was getting him dressed and his arm missed the hole in the shirt and he just lost it. I knew then something was wrong. As the day went on it gradually got bigger. Tyler got back from man trip #2 that afternoon and Hudson seemed to be doing better. By that night it was way worse, we took him into the clinic the next morning. They thought maybe he had just fractured his arm so we had X-Rays.... low and behold a clean break right in the middle of the biggest bone in your forearm. I felt like mother of the year!! We now have a large LIME GREEN cast from wrist to right under the arm pit!! He seems to be doing pretty good with it. He has only asked to take it off a couple of times. Since Monday my family has done nothing but spoil him. For those of you who don’t know mi familia when something like this happens we don’t cry, we celebrate! So we went for burgers and ice cream Monday night, he has a new collection of cars and trucks, an old cell phone (no it doesn’t work!!) and lots of candy! His cast is quickly filling up with names and of course thanks to dad, it has a big red double T right in the middle!! We have to go back in 2 weeks to get another X-Ray to make sure that it is healing correctly and hopefully he will only have to wear it 4 of the 6 weeks that he is supposed to!

Pink is our new blue!

We were excited to find out that this bambino is a girl! We are really excited for this new adventure, a little nervous about having a girl, but all in all ecstatic!! Here are a couple of her pictures. We have A LOT of names picked out but Tyler wants to wait until we see her to name her! All I know is her middle name will be Lake. Lake is after my dad’s mom, Eddie Lake. So we will go from there!! In the last month I have been able to start eating real food, something besides cereal, and haven’t gotten sick in a few weeks! I had lost a total of about 15 pounds during the first 5 months and when I went for an appointment last week I had gained it all back. How does that work? It takes you 5 months to lose but only a couple of weeks to gain it all back?? Oh well!

We have been trying to tell Hudson that he is going to have a little sister and she is in mommy’s belly. He doesn’t understand why he can’t see her? Keyli has brought over some clothes of Ella’s for me to use, thank you thank you and he keeps saying, “these baby sisers clothes, no these Ellya’s.” Hahaha!! Guess we will see!

Here are her legs and bobo!!

Once upon a blog...

It has been a crazy couple of months since my last blog and life has been one BIG whirlwind!! I’ll start with my mom selling her house! Mom has listed her house multiple times in the past thinking that she was ready to move. After Christmas this year she became really serious about wanting to move into a smaller home with NO pool! It was but a couple months later and she had a contract and was having to get in gear to find a new home! All I am going to say is we have lived there since 1996 and my grandparents prior to that since the 50’s. Just imagine....She needed several semi’s to get her out of her 3000+ square foot home into one half the size! She found a brand new home the guy had finished the week before. It is really nice the only thing missing is grass!!! Now that summer is here and it is the temperature is creeping towards 100 I think we are all going to miss the pool some!

I am also very excited for my mom because as of May 27^th she will be officially retired! She is looking forward to getting to pick up the kids and taking them on fun trips!

Now I’ll update you on little Mr. Hud. He has been spending a lot of time the last couple of months with Tyler. They go fishing every weekend, BBQ outside almost every night, and play lots of cars! His vocabulary is growing every day. It seems like you blink and he is now talking to adult sentences!! The weekend before Easter my sister in law had a precious little boy, Gaston Thomas Munson. It would be the dream/nightmare of every mom to be. My mother in law had been out there helping Amy with Grady for several months because she had been on strict bed rest. Amy and Justin live 30 minutes from Roswell, NM, first WHOA!! They woke my mother in law up about 2:45 in the morning and said they were getting ready to go to the hospital. Amy walked in the doors at 3:35 A.M. and the nurse very sweetly told her there was good news and bad. Good news was she was dilated to a 9, bad news was she didn’t even have time for an aspirin! Gaston was born at 4:12, WHOA WHOA!! Anyway, we spent Easter weekend in New Mexico which was a blast. Grady and Hudson have so much fun together it just makes me wish they lived closer.

Little Ella bug is getting big as well. This picture isn’t from Easter but Mothers Day at church. My grandmother made this dress for me when I was her age. So Sweet!
