Hudson 2.5

The best groceries ever...

Huddy looks like a little girl in this pic!;)

He is my buddy...he loves to go

anywhere and everywhere with mama!

This kid still LOVES his "muuuuul"!!!

I can't believe how much milk he

drinks.  He could probably live on

just milk.  He LOVES it!!!

Wakes up asking for his muuuul

and at bed time and several

times in between! :)

Dr. Graham thinks he is going to be

bigger than Walker?!?

His hands and feet are quite huge

and I do think he is stalkier than Walker.

Hudson at 2 1/2 years old is the same

weight and height that Hadlee was

at 4 years old!!!  He's a big, healthy

growing boy!  Drink that muuuuul, Baby:)

Hudson is obsessed with his clothes

and goes through a few clothing changes

throughout the day (when I let him!).

He most ALWAYS wants to wear

an "H" shirt like Bubba's (Under Armour).

Every morning we have to go through

every UA shirt for him to decide.

Until he finds the one he wants to wear,

he says "morrow" meaning he will

wear the other tomorrow!  This particular

day mommy's patience had worn out

so Bubba went in to help him

pick out a new outfit.....

We cracked UP when he came out in

a polo shirt with some UA sports pants!

He was so proud!!!;)

Such a gentleman!!!

He always wants to help me pump the gas!

Half the time, Hudson is in full baseball or

Batman gear following Walker around

like he is 9 years old, too.  The other

half of the time he is with his counterpart,

Hadlee McCall...whether it be

playing school or store, even

Barbies or art, and QUITE often...

beauty shop;)))  Hadlee loves

to do Brother's hair and make it

wet and straight!!!!!!!!!! 

Hudson is so pleasant and happy

and funny!!!  He even falls asleep

in the car with a smile :)

First kid of mine to eat cereal (with milk)!

YAY for Cinnamon Toast Crunch!!!

Hudson is quite the little player!

He loves to play and occupies

 himself quite well...

He is so full of life & love!!!!!!

I tell people that he is my Wild Card;)

I'm still in shock that I have a blond

hair, blue eyed Baby Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little Justin Bieber in the making;)

Everything about this little guy

is a DELIGHT!!!

I can't thank the God Lord up above 

enough for the blessing of Hudson Jack:)

Hadlee McCall ~ 6 1/2 Years Old

This little girl is SOMETHING else!!!

She is growing up right before our

very eyes and I just don't know what to

do about it!  ;( Thankfully, she

still loves baby dolls, playing

kitchen/store AND she loves

for mommy to still hold her!!!

THIS summer though she is allllll of

the sudden really into her "clothes"!

I could not believe my eyes when we

went school clothes shopping and she

had SUCH an opinion!!!!!!!!

Hold me;)))

She would put on an outfit and strike

a pose in the mirror and talk about

how cute she looked!  ha ha!!!

T-Daddy love is in BIG trouble;)

Luckily she still likes Target's

version of the American Girl dolls!  ;)))

BUT, there is talk about a "REAL"

one for Christmas?!?

 

One day we were driving to lunch

and she passed this note up to me

from the back seat.  Such my B/F/F;)

Daddy will brush his little girl's hair

forEVER!  It's the only thing that

makes this mama jealous!!!  HAAAAAA

They are CUDDLE BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I think it's the SWEETest thing ever:)

Never would have planned this but

Hadlee & Kate Kate are such precious

friends!!!  Future sisters-in-law
so it's really perfect!;)

 Hadlee loves to go to the library

and pick out books.  I absolutely

love to sit and listen to her read outloud.

I remember doing the same thing

with Walker.  Hadlee learned

so much during kindergarten.

She's definitely ready for FIRST grade;(

just not sure that her mama is! 

Her very latest craze has been making

duct tape bags!  Mommy loves it, too!!!

She & Kimi had fun doing this...

They made "Best Friend" bags and
wrote notes to each other to go
inside their bags!  :)

Hadlee's Business!
These were some "custom" bags she
made for Aunt Lynna, Mamaw
Grandmother and Mommy, too!  ;)

Hadlee is my little dream come true!

I absolutely AdORE her:)

 

God knew that a small part of Heaven

above would always be found

in a little girl's love!!!

 

Walker Almost TEN

There is SO much I love about this kid:

He is such a mess and so much fun!

I cannot imagine life

without my Walker D!!!

School clothes shopping...

NOT his favorite past time!!!!! ;(

Something about Baylor must

have been mentioned...................

He loves to play!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ANYTHING...

baseball, football, Legos, video games,

create videos, board games ~ you name it!
He LOVES his friends and wants a friend

over at all times!  He doesn't mind going

to friends' houses but would rather

have them at his house most often. 

He and Jonah have such a great friendship.

Jonah is over a lot and he's just like

family.  Walker loves to be at his house, too!

You never can tell what these two

are going to be up to!!!!!!

But boy can they play.......

for hours upon hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But what amazes me most about

 Walker is his sweet heart.

He has the sweetest, most caring

heart. I love his heart!

Walker is wild and crazy, yet

a bit bashful at the same time.

He's the perfect package to me...

even when he looks like he is

straight out of the Lord of the Flies

novel (on the good boys' side of course!).

Walker also loves to pray.

He never, ever goes to sleep without

saying, "Let's pray, Mamma"...

even on nights when he has a friend

staying over he calls me into his

room and asks me to pray!!!!!!

 

TEN years old...it really can't be:(

but, I am so thankful and proud!

 

"I have no greater joy than to hear

 that my children are walking in the truth."

August 2012

Almost a TEN year old?!?

Say it ain't so;(

My blonde, blue eyed Baby Love:)

Big Jo (Jonah) has been a long standing

summer play date for the Walkman.

These two can play for hours upon hours!!!

Haddie got to see some of her classmates

at sweet, precious Maddy's party!  

Walker set in a few months ago wanting

some of these "toe" shoes.  Troy and I

were like NO WAY!;) but we finally

caved in when we found some

cheaper versions!  ha!  I kinda like

that Walker wanted to wear

something not in the 'norm'..........

but we still make fun of them!;)

My parents' home (what am I saying...

MY home!) in Woodway has such a

beautiful backyard with trees older

than I am.  Unfortunately in the last

few years a few have died and there

was concern that they could fall

on the house or worse on one of us...

especially the kids playing outside.

So...........my parents were forced

to hire some people to come cut them down:(

Hudson won't have nearly as many

pictures with the beautiful trees

as all the rest of the kiddos,

so we just had to take these...

The three main trees in this picture are

gone now:( replaced by a pretty young

new tree for us to watch grow with Hudson! 

The lone new tree now ;(

Hadlee's friends from school,

Oliver & Elliot

had a precious summer b-day party.

It was cute to see Hadlee & Cannon

Ball hooked up again;)

They had a super fun slip-n-slide

that Hadlee would have nothing to with...

UNTIL Cannon talked her into it!!!

Of course she LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the party was picture perfect:)

I had to beg and plead for Hadlee 

to get OFF the slide to leave!!!

Silly girl:)

I would have NEVER, ever dreamed

that I'd let Walker grow his hair out. 

He had his first Aggie hair cut

at nine months old and I assumed it

would always be like that;)

Now , I love his 'long' hair.......but

T-Daddy does not!  He threatens

us all.the.time with a mean 'ole

barber if we don't go get his

and Hudson's cut on a regular basis!

Walker hates going:(

and I always get in trouble for not

 getting enough cut off!  hee hee!

Walker & Troy went to see the

new Batman movie...



Thus sparking a CRAZY desire

for a Batman movie birthday party!!!

And when we found these shirts

how could I resist such a fun theme?!?

Our summer swimming at

Wendell's pool was never boring;)

Especially during the Olympics

when Walker would often remind

me of Michael Phelps?!???!?!!!!!

One day I was playing Barbies with

Hudson (ooops...don't tell daddy!) and

my Barbie asked for a kiss?

Really meaning from Hudson's Ken

doll;  but instead, Huds was so quick

to bend down to give my Barbie a kiss!

SWEET boy:)

YAY for a Hoodie Swim Date at the Reed Resort!

Complete with adorable treats made by LaLa!!!

I truly can't believe how big all of our little

hoodies are:( They are still as cute &

sweet & fun as ever.  Such a huge blessing for our

little ones to have grown up together like this!

All summer long a group of us 4th grade

boy mamas had been trying to get together.

Finally, we chose a Friday night and met up

for some pizza and fun!!!

Braden, Cade, Peyton, Matthew,
Kyle, Bryson, Walker
Ready or NOT, 4th Grade.........
Here They Come!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta love some Popparollos in your life:)

Walker, Hadlee and I met up

with Amanda, Cade & Cannon to

see the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie...

Amanda and I assumed the kids would

sit with us in the theater, but we were

wrong;)  ha!  Walker & Cannon sat

together on the side and THIS cute

couple sat on the very back row!!!

 

Hudson Jack is ALLLLL about his mama!

He can be clear across the house and

hear that someone is lovin' on "his

mama" and he comes to get you!!!

Bless his heart...the "mmmyyyy mama"

game is a favorite around here!;(

School clothes shopping in a

storm;  I mean WITH a storm!!!!!!

There is always fun to be had!!!

Rides and a stop at Chickfila

does wonders while school

clothes shopping with the Storm;)

 

We squeezed in a couple more

days at Hawaiian Falls......

Braden joined us:)

Silly Superman;)

She loves to strike herself a pose!!!

Wipe Out......

........literally!!!  ;)

This kid is so big and handsome...

I just don't even know what to do!!!!!!!

He and his friends are just too cute!

But "boys drool and girls rule"!  ;)))

Good times!!!!!!

Before we left, Hadlee noticed

which bathing suit I was wearing

and decided to change into hers

that kinda matched;)  This is what

B/F/F's do!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

I love hanging with my two H's!



 

I am truly always thankful...

From sunshine days at a water park with

my loves to seeing my beautiful
little girl sleeping soundly

on the couch to everything

in between!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
