January Photo a Day

I meant to post these a LONG time ago, but at the beginning of January I found a photo challenge on Pinterest hosted by Fat Mum Slim. I used my iPhone and Instagram for all of my pictures for January. It was a fun way to document something every day. I'm currently doing February's Photo a Day challenge and will post those next week.

Weekend with the Broadduses

First of all...how do you like my new look?!? Thanks the fabulous Tricia I have a new blog design. I absolutely love it! I told her a couple things I was wanting and she created this look and it's exactly like I imagined. She's so great to work with!

A couple weekends ago, our sweet family of 3 headed up north to visit our BFFs Patrick, Courtney and Ethan. Patrick was getting ordained that Sunday and we made a weekend of it.

On our way down we stopped for lunch in Sugar Land and to do a little shopping.

Hudson had so much fun in Barnes n Noble. We of course had to get a few books for him.

He really doesn't care what the books are about right now. As long as they taste good.

We ate lunch at Cheesecake Factory. We love the baby plates they have and Hudson could eat his weight in bananas and bread. He was of course a flirt during lunch and charmed everyone around us.

My sweet lunch dates.

After lunch we went to TIRR to visit Caleb and his family. Caleb was in a serious skiing accident at the beginning of January. He was in Denver for about a month in the hospital and was recently transferred to TIRR in Houston for rehab and therapy. The Lord is doing amazing things in Caleb's life.

And eating saltines. This was Hudson's first time and he LOVED them! He ate about 5 and even stole a few from Ethan.

these pictures are way out of order but I'm over it...

Saturday morning we went to get donuts from Shipley's and then to Starbucks for coffee. Hudson had his first taste of donuts and needless to say he loved them.

Me and my sweet boy goofing off.

Saturday we had lunch at a fun hamburger place...of course the boys were only interested in the cars going by.

Moms with their sweet boys.

This is in Patrick and Courtney's backyard...they live in an amazing neighborhood!

BFFs in Target

And of course the weekend included games...our new favorite which we now already own...Quelf!

Sunday Patrick was ordained in a very special and meaningful service. Unfortunately John started feeling bad during the service so we left pretty quickly afterwards and didn't get any pictures.

Thanks guys for such a fun weekend!

Katy and Pearson

While I was in McKinney visiting my family in January, I got to meet a sweet friend.

Katy and I found each other's blogs around the time we announced we were pregnant. Her due date was around the same time as mine.

We became blog/twitter friends as we shared pregnancy together. It was fun having someone at the same stage as me along the way.

Hudson and Pearson were born 6 days apart and now it is so fun to watch them grow up. Katy and I talk almost daily on Twitter.

It was so much fun getting to meet her and Pearson in real life. John has made fun of me for years about my "blog friends." He calls them imaginary friends.

I wish we lived closer because I know we would get together often for the boys to play and the mommas to talk!

We met for lunch at Pei Wei and then went back to her house so the boys could play and we could talk. I love watching Hudson interact with other babies. He loved Pearson's toys and we even went to buy snaps like his so Hudson could have his own.

Thank you so much Katy and Pearson for a wonderful day! We can't wait to do it again. :)
