One AMAZING year with this

precious little angel

........who is PURE JOY!!!........

We had a "BALL" at Hudson's
 first birthday party!!!

All ready to party!!!  :)

This day made us all so happy!!!

Kate Kate:)

Birthday Boy was so happy to

see his girlfriend Ella OR was it that

he didn't want his crush Adrienne

holding Ella?!?

Lovin' his little girlfriend;)

Grandmother with Happy Hank:)

Big Huds knew this was his day!!!

Having a ball at his own party!!!

Sweet Jillian

What are these gifts all about?!?

Huddy LOVES him some Logan!

Big boys at play;)

Being a Bashfull Baby Love

while everone was singing

Happy Birthday to him!!!

He is the sweetest, most lovable little thing...

I love this pic...Big Bro & Big Sis

(and mommy!) are celebrating

our Sweet Boy!

I'm so in love with this little one year wonder...

Praying his sweet wishes come true...always!:)

Time for CaKE!!!!!!!!

I love the entire "cake" series of pictures.

it was SO Hudson....

cautious and curious at first?!?

not thinking so?

well, maybe???

that's actually pretty yummy...

going after some more...

sneaky little guy planning his next move;)

his sweet little face & eyes will melt your heart!

Finally!  This is F-U-N!!!!!!!!!

Being ONE!!!!!!!

You Know Who and You Know Who

trying to join in on the action;)

Hudson is the sweetest little

stinker you will ever know!!!

PURE JOY, I tell ya!!!!!

Then he decides to take it to a whole new level;)

LOVE it...Troy & I finally have a child

to dig into his first birthday cake in a BIG way!!!

And just like that...he was DONE!

My Beautiful House Party in the Hizow!!!

Co Co tried to act like she had her hands full...

with twins or something like that?!?

Hudson likes to open cards and look at them

like he is reading (maybe he is?!?)...

It's exhausting being ONE!;)

Time to open presents!!!

HILARIOUS...

a lawn mower and a pair of gym shorts

from the Reeds so Hudson

can be Shirtless Pierce #2

(after Daddy!!!)

I got him this "man purse"

so maybe he would quit carrying

Haddie's Hello Kitty purse!!!;)

Obviously Travis couldn't be at the party,

but he and Michelle had made big

plans for it!  After Hudson was done opening

gifts, Michelle said there was one more

and brought out this trash can for

"Janitor Hudson" from Travis!

Check out Hudson's face...

it was TRULy PriCELESS!!!

In all of Hudson's one year of life,

I had never seen him do this

surprise face until this very moment.

He was totally shocked!!!

Telling us all about it...

he and that kindred spirit Travis

have such a bond!!!

I had never seen him so excited!

Leave it to our Travis to bring

laughter to the party

without even getting to be there!!!

Opening and closing his very own

Superman theme song card!

Sweet Sister helped open all of his gifts!

We loved having Party Patsy!!!

Grandmother is so busted!

It's a pet peeve of mine for my kids

to drink out of other people's drinks...

even Grandmother's!!!  HA!

Big and Bigger Boys!

 Little Boy Hoodies...

missing Hudson & Bryce

Found Hudson:)

Love this couple...

RoRo is not only house party but also

takes pictures and loves my babies as her own! 

Hank, Hudson, Ella

It was the ADORABLE babies'

first birthday party to attend!!!

What an honor!!!

A birthday hat?!?

Not so much;)

Please help me, Logan!!!

He is such a pleasant little fellow
even when not real happy about that hat...

The kids helped me make this sign...

Hank & Troy kinda look alike???

I thought it might be nice to have a couple

more...I mean Hudson IS one?!?

You can see how Troy felt about that!

If we had lots & lots of money,

I would do it all again FOR SURE!!!

One year old and ON THE GO!!!

I love ALL the sistahs in my life...

My favorite little couple at eight years old...

Walker & Kate

sisters-in-law!;)

all three;)

 Kelli and I have waited a long time for this!!!

We might all be one big happy family someday!  ha ha!

VERY important guests at the party...

and all very sweet, too!  :)

Representin' the cousins!!!

We are so happy to be the
Pierce Party of FIVE!

Thanks to the arrival of

Hudson Jack on January 17, 2011:)))

I can't imagine how we would have made it

through this year without this precious

little gift from God! 

Hudson,

You are the happiest, sweetest, most lovable little

guy I know.  Your blond hair and blue eyes still

throw us for a loop!  You are just so special!!!

The mere thought of you and I can't help but

smile (your daddy is the same way!).

Even when you are being a stinker,

you are still the sweetest little thing in the world!

You are so pleasant and playful...

just a perfect little combination!

You are SO very, VERY loved and adored

by your big brother and big sister.

It's something to see!!!

You have truly completed our lives!:)

You are mommy's little delight! 

I can't quite figure it out yet,

but there is something so very

special about you.  I pray every single

day for what God has in store for your life.

Thank you, Sweet Jesus, for this

precious little one year wonder!

I couldn't love you more,

Baby Love!!!

Happy FIRST Birthday,

Hudsy Puds!!!
