Merry Christmas!

We finally found Santa and they kids were so excited!

You would of thought I was holding Hudson for the way he acted. He just looked at Santa and then would smile. It was so cute. Never has my other babies at that age been happy when Santa was holding them....but then again I've never had a baby like HUDSON!

Kallie has been talking about sitting on Santa's lap for a while and has been so excited. But when she finally saw him, she got so nervous and was trying so hard to not cry the whole time we were standing in line. But she was a big girl and didn't cry. In this picture she is trying SOOO hard to smile, it's just hard to smile when you're trying to not cry! :) And she also was able to tell Santa how she wants a bike for Christmas.

Junior had his school play which he did so good in, and then sitting on Santa's lap didn't even phase him. He was as happy as can be and told Santa how he would like a race-car track.

Here we are done watching Junior in his play. We were so proud.

Hudson's First Birthday!

Can you believe it? My baby boy is one!

Hudson was not very fun opening his presents. He had just woken up from a nap and he was not happy. He pretty much whined the whole time of opening presents.

His first present however had some balls in it so that did make him happy for a minute. Hudson is so funny right now, he is obsessed with balls. He absolutely loves them and loves saying "ball".

Of course, just like most babies, he was fascinated by the candle and wanted to try and touch it. He did, however, try blowing but he just couldn't quite do it so his brother and sister helped.

He started eating his cake with one finger at a time.

Yum, sucking all the frosting off his finger that he could.
Then he started getting into it. This is him being "so big".

Then his daddy gave him a fork and was trying to feed his daddy.

And then tried eating the cake with the fork and did it pretty good.

But then he just got tired of trying to eat it with is fingers or a fork and just decided to get right to it with his mouth.

And then he had it, he was done and ready for a bath! It was fun to watch him eat his cake and I am so thankful for this little boy in my life. He truely is a joy and a joy to anyone that he comes in contact with. Happy Birthday Hudson! We sure love you!

Park City

Every year we are blessed enough that my parents have a time share in Park City for two weeks that they invite us all to come up there and stay. It is so much fun and the kids look forward to it all year.

Hudson going for a swim with Uncle Tanner.

This is what Kallie does most of the time, sits on the side-lines and watches, but she has a blast.

And Junior swims the whole time.

Boys and their Mules

Junior and his mule "Buela-the-Mula"

Junior loves 'Buela' and loves to ride her. She is such a good mule.

Tuck and their grandpa's mule 'Norman'. Norman was eating up all of Tucks attention and rubbing up against him for at least 20 minutes. Norman may of found a new best friend!

Happy Halloween

Our cute little Monkey!

Our little Monkey saying "Cheese"

And then we have our "Cool Ninja" and our "Princess and the Fairy".

Carving Pumpkins

Getting the 'gutz' out!

Yeeewww, Yucky!

This is Hudson's idea of helping....eating snacks and just watching!

Now all of Woody's family members will laugh at this picture because as you can see, Junior has the family tongue thing going on when he is concentrating.

Kallie's Happy Pumpkin

Hudson's pretty happy to play with his pumpkin that his daddy helped with.

The finish products!

And Junior insisted that I take a picture of him with his "mean" face!

October Fun!

Junior recently had a all day field trip at school to a corn maze and pumpkin patch.
He had a great time!

They all got to pick a small pumpkin, this is the one he decided to get.

Him and his best Buddie, Tuck, at the end of the corn maze.

These are some of his best friends that he went through the corn maze with.
Tuck, Jayden, Porter and then Junior!

Cute as Cute!

Hudson is so fun because he is always smiling and you can get him to laugh. This may be cute but you should see how hard he laughs at Junior. Hopefully I can get that on video sometime. I don't know what it is but no one can get him to laugh harder then Junior. It must be a brotherly love!

Miscellaneous

Here doggie-doggie!

Pretty as a princess!

Fun at the Park!

This is one of my favorite faces that Hudson makes. He does this when he is trying to smile at you. It makes me laugh about every time.

Fun Times

We went miniature golfing and it was the kids first time. They thought it was great!

Branding 2010

So the Davis family was kind enough to let us go branding with them in Evanston. The weather was cooler this year but we still had a great time!

This is Hudson in his 'pink' little girlie hat. But hey, it kept him warm!

Kallie didn't want much to do with any of the animals this year and spent most of her time in the back of the truck just watching!

Junior's job this year was to hold the gate so the calves didn't get out. Fun times!

And then we have 'cowboy dad' who ate up every last moment. He was in heaven!

Funny Times!

Yes, I know it's not Halloween, but that doesn't mean that the kids don't still want to dress up. I thought this was funny how Kallie wanted Junior to put on her lipstick for her.....and he did!

Easter Time

Hopefully you can see this picture, but the night that the Easter Bunny was going to come Junior was worried about leaving him a snack. So he called his dad and asked what Bunnies eat, well he said "carrots and grass". So we looked in the fridge and found some carrots and sprouts. Then Junior thought he need to leave him a note. He wrote the note by himself with some help with me telling him what letters to write.

This is what they found the Easter bunny had left, and to Junior and Kallie's surprise, the Easter Bunny ate all but a few crumbs of their snack.

This is the kids dying Easter Eggs!!! And yes, of course Kallie has to be wearing her new "swim-soup".

I love this picture of Junior and how his eyes are kindof going cross-eyed looking at the egg.

We had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids and this is Kallie collecting some eggs!

Yes, we might be mean, but we thought it would be cute putting Hudson in this basket (it was Chelsey's idea).
