June's photo challenge and still going strong! I'm ready for July! :)

road trip with mommy!

Hudson and I have been visiting my family in McKinney this week. Although, Hudson ended up getting sick early Wednesday morning (around 3:00am) we spent most of the week relaxing and trying to get him better. 

We had a fun road trip down here on Monday. I packed a lunch for us to have a picnic in the car. 

Hudson didn't eat as much as he usually does. I think he was having too much fun playing in the backseat.

I love my sweet boy. He does so great in the car and makes somewhat easy to take a 7 hour road trip with a baby by myself. :)

When we got to my mom's house she wasn't there yet and I did not have the key on my key ring so we played in the backyard. Hudson loved knocking on the door and Huck was going a little crazy inside. Especially because Hudson was playing with his ball. :)

Like I said, Tuesday was pretty much our only day to get out and do anything because he ended up getting sick. I'll share more pictures later. :)

1st weekend of summer!

We had a weekend full of fun (and some not so fun) for the first weekend of summer! 

John had to go into the office on Friday for a couple of hours so Hudson and I went to the pool with Libby and Grant. Hudson's favorite part about going to the pool is being able to run around in the grass. :)

He sort of enjoyed the float with Grant. 

After his nap on Friday, we took him to get his anemia and lead poisoning testing done. We went to one clinic first but they tried to draw blood like they do for adults. It was torturous and they were not able to get any blood out of his arm. :( So we went to the children's hospital and they were able to get it much easier. 

On our way home he couldn't figure out why there was a bandage on his fingers and one of those fingers is part of his finger sucking pair. He was not a fan. 

But he quickly realized he could just suck one finger. Sweet boy. :)

When we got home he got to enjoy a treat for being such a brave boy. He loved his popsicle!

And finished the whole thing in less than 5 minutes. 

On Saturday, Hudson's sweet friend Landry had her 1st birthday party! Hudson loved stealing the Twister spinner. 

They had a train outside for the kids. John took Hudson for a ride and neither of them loved it that much. 

Landry obviously loved her cake.

Our sweet family celebrating Landry!

Sunday we went to church, came home for lunch and naps and then played in the backyard. We had a very fun first weekend of summer and are really hoping them temperature won't get too much hotter!

hudson's 1 year pictures {part 2}

The rest {of the good ones} of Hudson's 1 year pictures. I love this green and yellow plaid shirt. Sic 'em! We spent about 10% of our time taking these pictures. He was pretty much done at this point and we were exhausted and sweaty. Chasing down a running 1 year old in 100 degree South Texas humidity when you are pregnant is not the most fun thing to be doing. But it was worth it for the priceless pictures we got.
