Baby Hudson is here!!!

Hudson James Hughes

He was born Thursday the 12th at 8:16 am.

He was 7 lbs 9 oz 19.5 inches long.

He is such a good boy and sleeps all day long. He never cries and does not want to open his eyes. He is so cute and we are so glad that he is finally here.

Brinley is 3!!

I can't believe our little girl is already 3 years old! It seems like she was just placed in my arms, even though I can barely remember life without her (It's funny how that works). Her bday was a few weeks ago and we had her first 'friend' party at Mcdonald's.

The kids had a great time eating there happy meals and playing, then we had cupcakes and opened presents! It was simple but Brinley was so happy (as you can see in all the pictures)!



Later that night we had Shane's family over for Pizza, cake, & more presents ~She got way too spoiled, thanks everyone!

All her cousins singing Happy Birthday

Brinley was completely exhausted by the end of the day (me too) but she had so much fun being the Birthday Girl all day long!!

*Happy Birthday Sweetie, thanks for always being the happiest part of my day! You have such a big heart, a great imagination, and you are constantly making me laugh with all the cute little things you say! I love you!!

Has it been that long?

I was looking at blogs the other day and noticed the date of my last post, Dec. 3rd. I did not realize it been that long!!! If Blogging was my profession, I would have been fired long ago! Now for a little CATCH UP...

We had a great Christmas! The festivities pretty much started the minute Thanksgiving was over and lasted all through December!! We went to several Christmas Parties, baked, decorated, saw Santa, went sledding, Made Gingerbread houses, and so much more. One of the highlights for me was watching Brinley be an angel in our ward Christmas program, she looked so cute up there with all the big primary kids! She didn't know the words to the songs so she would just open and shut her mouth, and she kept waving at us, and yelling "hi mom" I wished I had the video Camera!!

she's the little one in the back row...

This was one of my most memorable Chrismas's, I felt like we really focused on family, friends, and our Savior this year rather than all the presents!!! I have so many pictures but something about posting pics of Christmas in February doesn't add up, so I will spare you all... Hopefully next year I'll be a little more on the ball!

Snow Much Fun!!

A while back we got to go visit Grandma Ilene for a few days and had planned a fun trip to the ZOO... Well, Mother nature must have missed our nice weather request because we woke up to a foot of SNOW!! Luckily the girls had so much FUN in the snow they forgot all about our Zoo plans!

Brinley had so much fun, and looked so CUTE all bundled up! (I think in this picture she was finally starting to get cold)

What's a fun day in the snow withought a SNOW ANGEL (or two)!?!

The girls even convinced Grandma to come help with the snoman, Robe and all (~She's going to love me for posting this picture! Sorry Mom it was too classic!!)

*Sadly Frosty tipped over before I could get a pic ~but his memory lives in our hearts! I'm sure next time we visit Grandma there will be plenty of snow for more FROSTY"S!!
