The Hewys

Still here!

2011-12-12T10:08:00.000-08:00

We have been very busy lately.

First, Hudson got his very first BIG BOY haircut.

He did so good it surprised the heck out of me!

I was a little sad at first, but got use to it fast!

We still want to grow his hair back out when his little bald sides grow in better,

but until then, he looks very handsome.

He was so funny, he kept grabbing the cape and playing Pick-A-Boo.

Then we had Megan's 21st Birthday and the twins' 7th Birthday Party together before they left to Cali.

That little Fijit is the cutest stinkin thing ever.

It was Hudson's Best Friend the rest of the night. He would talk to it and kiss it.

He did not want to say good bye to his cute little friend Miss Fijit!

Hudson why..... oh why are you so handsome?

And BIG :(

Hudson the Grape Juice Maker!

Call him anytime you need Fresh Grape Juice.

He is really good at it!

1-800-Best -GRAPEJUICEMAKER.

EXT. HP

I was doing stuff on the computer one day and I kept hearing Hudson say "I did it!" "I did it!"

He was very proud at whatever he was doing!

Then it accrued to me to think what is he so happy about... I did it?

With a... thud ..thud... thud.

This could only mean one thing... not good news for mama!

So I looked up out of my computer trans to see him at the sink putting the nice and yummy just bought "that day" grapes in the disposal.

And it wasn't just a few.

It was almost the hole thing of extra large grapes.

He was so proud and I... was remembering how much they cost. :)

I thought about taking them out but being pregnant that only made me want to Ralf!

So I disposaled them. :( Grrrr.

The Wetzel Family.

I took my girlfriend's family pictures at one of my favorite spots in town.

(Thanks Phoebe)

The Wetzel have such a cute family!

Cute grand-kids, cute couples, cute parents!

So Chris Looked like Quasimodo for a Little while.

(but still a very cute looking one)

Chris came home one night from studying and asked if he could go play some foooz ball.

I said "yes" cause he has been working so hard lately, but told him under one condition....

he couldn't get hurt!

HAHAHAHAH

"Jinked myself" or him?

He always laughs when I say this to him and says I'll try!

I asked how long he would be gone he said maybe two hours.

A hour goes by and I get a call From pun-akin.

"Hmmm why is he calling me he has only been gone for an hour?"

Me: "Hey babe"

Pun-akin: "Hey I have some bad news"

Me: "OK? What do you mean?"

Pun-akin: "I think I'm off to the ER"

Me: "What ? Why? Are you OK?"

(Insert a thought of worry here......Cause Chris' brother was playing Flag football and collided heads with another kid and smashed the kids face in to the point where the kid had to get surgery)

Pun-akin: "Me and a kid collided heads and....I split my eye open pretty bad."

(Insert another thought "PHEW")

Me:"OK well do you mind if you stop bye the house first so I can see it to make sure you really need to go to the ER?"

(Feeling like a awesome wife right here "Not"!)

Long story short.... he came home told me the story.

My mother in law came over that night and looked at him sealed him shut,

went to the doctors the next morning.

They put 5 stitches in and removed 4 blood clots and walked away with thank goodness a...

$200 bill.

Moral to this story, don't Jinks your husbands! ;)

Fall leaves are so much Fun!

Nothing like a cute little kiss + 12 week belly pictures.

This is Miss Kenzie.

She is my cousin Brooke's New little 4th Bundle of joy.

She was so good and so sweet I just loved doing her pictures.

This little girl is loved by all her family and well... look at her what's not to love.

I hope my Next post will be of my new little niece's!

Just come already Miss Scottie you were due Yesterday!!

Why are we EXCITED????

2011-11-07T20:52:00.000-08:00

Almost a year ago I had my miscarriage.
It was weird because from the moment I found out I was pregnant, I had a feeling. I don't really know how to describe it. With Hudson, I didn’t have any kind of negative feelings. I kept trying to brush it off. I didn't feel like I could express what I was feeling because my mom would get bugged with me and want me to be positive or Chris would be so positive that it made me feel guilty, so I just tried to stay positive. I prayed so many nights for a good pregnancy, but deep down inside I knew something just wasn't right.
I wasn't nauseous or having any of the symptoms I had with Hudson. I started spotting two days afterwards. But I did that with Hudson, Chris reminded me.
I don't even know how to describe how you know something is wrong, even though everyone around you is being positive and thinks you need to be as well. I guess if you've had a miscarriage you know.
It's worse than I could have ever imagined. It stinks!

I remember when I had the actual miscarriage, we were going to a family Christmas party and Chris and I really didn’t feel like going to it! But I told Chris I didn’t want to just sit home and think about the miscarriage and miss our fun Laidlaw Family Christmas party, but on the other hand I really didn’t want people to come up and congratulate us and then have to tell them about the miscarriage and make them feel awkward and make me feel like I would have to reply “ It’s OK“, because it didn’t feel ok! Thank goodness everyone knew before we got to the party and most of them avoided it like the plague. Some didn’t, but were really sweet about it, which was much needed! My family was going through a lot at the time, which added to the stress and sadness!
For a couple of months I would hear about girls being pregnant or knew some that were due around the time I was suppose to be. I would run in to them and think that could have been me. In the long run I knew my Heavenly Father saw the big picture, and now I can say I’m grateful.....well, not grateful, but I can see the big picture of why I lost the baby. Timing is everything and for that I’m grateful.
Megan my sister got pregnant just two months after I had the miscarriage and no, I wasn’t jealous…. well, only a little, cause we have always wanted to be pregnant together! But then she had a miscarriage too.
That was hard, I knew what she was feeling and that made me feel awful for her!

But I’m happy to Announce that our little family is PREGNANT! Due the end of May or the first part of June!

Not only am I pregnant, but my sister is too!
She found out the middle of Sept. and is Due May 13, 2012

We found out shortly after her and ... 2,000 dollars worth of blood work done and also going to a specialist Dr. Chalmers while I was Pregnant, not knowing I was already pregnant! So he and I joke about how good he is. All you have to do is talk to Dr. Chalmers and you get Pregnant! lol!
We are so excited Hudson is so cute to our niece Avery. I know he is going to be the cutest big brother!

The story on how I found out I was pregnant!
Megan and I were hanging out watching TV and that’s when I should have known for sure. We were watching Americas Next Top Model and a commercial for Lion King 3D. I cried at both! I can see crying at Lion King but... Americas Next Top Model... come on! What the heck! So that should have been my first sign! Since the miscarriage I didn’t hardly EVER cry which is sooo not me. I told Megan maybe im getting back to my old self.
Then Megan said that a taco (with meat) looked good and I AGREED and that was Megan's first sign. She looked at me like I was crazy!
Reason being I'm a vegetarian! Taco meat ALWAYS discussed me!!!!

The next day was Sunday and we went to church. I didn’t help out in nursery as much as I usually do because I was to tired!
I went home and started thinking..... could I be Pregnant???
My signs were...

Tire.
Crying.
My lower back was hurting.
Chris bugs me every time I’m Pregnant for no good reason! (Poor guy).
The taco thing, dead give away!

So when Chris came home we talked about how I might be... and we did a pro and con list together.
See we have done this guessing game for a year and a half now.
So I had Chris go get a test!
When I saw the results of the test I couldn’t believe it... I had been getting a negative for WAY TO LONG. And on Monday I was going to schedule an appointment to get my pips cleaned.$$$$$
( Doctors term).
I just thanked Heavenly Father over and over that I was pregnat and I didn't have to go through anymore!
I called for Chris to come up stairs and I got Hudson out of his crib from a nap. Chris gave Hudson a kiss and I gave Chris a kiss with a whisper “We are pregnant”!

How we told our family...This is one of my favorite parts about being pregnat.

I wanted to tell Megan first so I came with this!

Then I did this for our parents!
With a present that had our due date in them and the size of the baby.
It was the size of a sesame seed!

We are so excited and I feel so good about this one. A little nervous, but good!
Megan and I are only 2-3 weeks apart. If I go like last time we could maybe be having our babies a couple of days apart or the same day... the same Doctor... the same room!
But my mom is not being shared unless I have too! LOL.

October fun!

2011-11-05T10:04:00.000-07:00

My brother turned 29 this year.

Faye's family came from California to visit before Matt and Faye move.

It was very nice to meet them, they were so nice.
Faye's mom is darling!

Elmo loves cheese.

Hudson likes to help him eat cheese!

One cute little Bath SHARK!!!!!

We went to Staheli's farm with Grandma Hewy and the Steere girls.

We had tons of fun going with them.

I had never been and didn't realize it was so kid friendly. (That is during the day.)

Hudson was looking at the turkeys, and the awesome mom I was, thought for only a split second, I hope he doesn't get bit by one of the turkeys.

I MEAN WHO NEEDS TO WATCH THEIR TWO YEAR OLD WHILE THEY ARE STANDING BY A TURKEY COOP ???

So I stared shooting my camera like a awesome mom would.

And all of a sudden... what do you think happens.... my kid gets bit.

Not once and not twice but three times.

I just wanted to snap that turkey's neck and eat it for dinner (The vegetarian I am) to show it to never bite my kid.

STUPID TURKEY

STUPID MOM???

Needless to say I hate that Turkey!

HUDSON LOVED PUSHING THE WHEEL BARREL AROUND .

Brinley and Hudson loved this horse swing.

When Hudson first started out on this I was really nervous.

By the end, he was just sitting on it with no hand and enjoying himself soo much!

If I could buy or build one of these horse swing's Hudson would love me foreveeer!

PUMPKIN CARVING!!!

We did pumpkins with my family on a last minute wing.

Hudson loved it, but didn't love taking the guts out.

In fact he was a tad bit worried about taking the guts out and

Hudson hates getting his hands dirty to the extreme!

So mom and dad did it for him.

Wow little did I know we have some hidden talent in pumpkin carving by a few of my family members!

It was so fun carving with the twins.

Kids make everything FUNNER!

It was so fun and so chill to pumpkin carve.

We ate pumpkin pizza from Papa Johns and ate way too much candy.

OMPA- OMPA -OMPADIE- DO!

I HAVE THE- CUTEST- LITTLE- DUDE!

We went as ..................

Hudson as an Ompa Loompa.
Chris as Willy Wonka.
I went as Violet.

We have our awesome tanners!

The tooth Fairy and the girl who lost her tooth.
Is that not one scarey tooth fairy?
I sure hope that the real tooth fairy doesn't look like that!

Sally and Jack from..... The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Don't they look wicked?

Sally, The cute mom and Jack!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Update on the Hewards!

2011-10-09T17:30:00.000-07:00

Going on our walks. This is what we see and what we do!

Baby sitting the Steere girls.

I thought it would be fun to do an activate while Avery was taking her nap.

So outside we went.

I told Hudson to blow in the straw and well.... he did the opposite of that and drank it all gone.

( I was a little worried cause of all the dye I put in the milk, but he is fine!)

Bryn did an awesome job, Hudson got it at the end.

Swiss days!

The attempts of getting good pictures!

Hudson and I not so well, but everyone else looks cute!

Buddies!

Hudson was soo excited to see Buzz. Every time we go to Santa Clara and drive by the Eye Doctor, Hudson will say BUZZ BUZZ???? I say "yep Buddie, we are going to drive by Buzz." Then that's when I drive by Buzz really, really slow. Unless I forget to slow down and that's when I'm in trouble, because for like 3 min I have to hear.... Where Buzz go? Where Buzz go?

So when Buzz came by us in the Swiss Day parade, Hudson didn't say a word he just stared at Buzz with his cute little mouth open!

The Little Mermaid was in the parade and everyone loved that!

My mom and I are going the 18th to see The Little Mermaid. I'm so excited!

Hudson wasn't to happy about this float they shot off what sounded like real guns and it scared the Crikey out of him!

My Heros

They dress so stylish.

They Fly.

They look out for things,

and lose it too! (Where it go?)

They even have their own secret hand shake!

I love my heros they make my world!

Yes that's right, another Heward's Family picture.

This will be the last full Heward family picture for two years!

Connor is going on a mission to Mexico City, Mexico!

This is cute Mikey and her darling baby bump. She looks so cute prego.
It is funny when you are the one pregnant and you think you look big, but you aren't. I even asked her if she could stick it out a little bite more! Mikey and Chad I can't wait to meet this little girl. You guys are going to be fun parents! Hope you like these belly pictures!

HELLO!

2011-09-19T16:19:00.000-07:00

YEEEHAW

Hudson, Chris and I went and saw the animals at the Rodeo.

We don't live to far away and Hudson loves the animals.

Hudson wanted to show the cow his train.

I think the cow liked it a lot;), if he didn't, Hudson did!

He gave kisses to the horses!

Loved the goat!
(I was a little nervous I was worried he would head butt Hudson or eat the stroller!)

Then we went to the Rodeo with Grandma Hewy,

Aunt Chantelle, Brin and Av's!

Hudson was my very own personal Bucking Bronco that lasted 1 hour at the Rodeo!

That's when Hudson had had enough, he looked at me and said GO,GO?

I asked him if he wanted to GO, he smiled and replied GO!

I asked Hudson if he wanted to go NIGHT, NIGHT?

He replied Night, Night.

Then stared to tell everyone night, night even the horses and the cows!

Not only that, but mama got a snuggle from him the whole way home.

He told anyone and everyone Night Night when we passed them on the way home!

The new do!

So Chris thought
I was going to come home with hair extensions instead of this!

( Got to keep the Husby on his toes! Plus he is married to a hair dresser! )

I'm looooving it!

LONG STORY TO WHY WE ARE BLOWING BUBBLES INSTEAD OF GOING TO TUMBLE TIME!

So Hudson tried a tumble class the other day.
I thought Hudson would love it and be good at it, since he is freakishly strong.
Well when we showed up he was the only boy with a bunch of little ballerinas in their cute "PINK outfits"
Hudson in his skull shirt.

( Getting the picture? )
Well I thought it was a tumble class and well... it was NOT!
It was a co-ed wiggle time.... that actually looked like a beginng class for ballerinas!

Well I thought...
"We are here we might as well try it out its only... 30 min."
( Plus he sure looked cute with a class full of girls what a stud "right?")
So the teacher told me to stay outside cause the kids listen better.
Ok I get that!
BUT
I was cringing the whole time.
Wondering?
( I was without a parent window!! UGH!!)

What he was doing?
Was he listening?
Was he being nice?

The teacher said he did good...

BUT he might need to be a little bit older!

Plus Hudson got out a extra 5min (for good behavior LOL.) from the class. While the little girls wrapped up the last 5 min. ;)

BOTTOM LINE... he was JUST naughty and

I cant believe the poor teacher had to try and work with him for longer then a 1min. LOL.

Oh well we live and learn right?

So now Hudson and I have are own Tumble / Bubble / Chalk time.

Who needs wiggle time its over rated anyways!

(ask the mother who's kid got out 5min. early from a 30 min.class)

It was my cute mother in-law's Birthday last week.
It was cute, my father in-law got her a rose for every year she has gotten wiser! :)
Jan shared her present opening with Brin and blew out some candles!
I don't know who was more excited... Jan or Brin for the presents to be opened... I think Brin!!!
Again
I don't know if Jan or Hudson were more excited for her cute balloons?......... I think Hudson!!!

I don't know who won, the "balloons" or "Hudson"????

UMMMMM popcorn / Dada time!

MY LITTLE SLEEPY HEADS

What a Animal!!!

What a cute Auntie M Hudson has!

We have a pretty strict night routine.
Hudson usually says night night when he is ready for bed, and he usually starts walking himself up to the bedroom.
But this night he wanted to sleep in his beanbag.
Dada and I knew that it wouldn't last, but it was too cute not to let him get his way.
No more then 5 min.
He was up wanting to play.
That's when mama ruined the fun and off to bed we went ;)

Cream Cheese cheeseir

2011-08-13T19:01:00.000-07:00

Hudson loves Cream Cheese more then the bagel itself.

My Family Birthday Party

2011-08-13T16:55:00.000-07:00

2011-08-13T16:54:00.000-07:00

So Chris and I had our 7yr anniversary.

Oh was it soo much Fun and needed.

The Best part was that I suprised Chris.

I kept it a secret for two week!!!!

WOW!

He had no clue.

I told Chris we were going to breakfast in the morning for our anniversary.

He was excited just for that!

I told Chris that Megan was going to watch Hudson while we went.

The Day before we left, Chris had to work.

So I packed our bags.

That morning we droped Hudson off with Megan at Matt's house.

So off we went to our anniversary Breakfast. ;)

We pulled up to the drive thru at McDonalds.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Chris laughing under his breath and then he started making funny faces like why are we at McD's.

I turned and looked at him and asked him what he wanted, he started laughing I asked him why he was laughing?

He said well... why did we drop Hudson off if we were coming here???

I thought if you had us get all dressed up we would going to go to the Egg and I or the Bear Claw, not McD's drive threw.

I started to laugh and asked him if he wanted to know what we were really going to go do.

He said YES!

I told him we were going to go to Duck Creek, go Four wheeling and stay in a cabin.

The shock on his face was priceless.

He asked if he needed to go home and change I said NO... I have your bags packed!

He was really shocked after I told him that .

Nothing is better then surprising your hubby.

Mission Call.

2011-08-13T16:53:00.000-07:00

2011-08-13T16:52:00.000-07:00

Chris, Hudson and I went to Chris' Family reunion on the Oler side.
At Zions, it was so much fun.
Jon Oler was in charge of it and put a lot of work into it .
I'm pretty sure Jon is going to be wiped out for at least a month!
( Thanks Jon, You did a great job!)

They had a slip in slide and a Very big pond to play in.
The boys had a blast at the slip in slide.
All of Chris cousin are so cute.
They had a cooking activity that Aunt Jill put together for the kids.
Aunt Jill had foot surgery, so she couldn't be there to
see how much the kids enjoyed cooking!

Boys are Crazy.

You wouldn't see Girls doing this!

We had a blast with the Oler Family and we are so glad we went.
We are mad at ourselves for not going an extra day!:(

I love how Hudson kinda does a skip when he runs!

Hudson is like having free entertainment...

ALL THE TIME!

These two are funny together.

When they are at Grandma Hewys house,

Brinley usually bosses Hudson around and he lets her!

( I think he likes it most of the time most!?)
But this time he was the boss!

Good Job Brinley boo.

My mom has a group of friends (14) of them to be exact, that have known each other since kindergarten!

I know how cool is that?

But here is the cool thing about these girls, they are all there for one another through think and thin.

It's amazing what kind of friendships they have and what they have been through!

A couple of years ago my moms friend Lisa Petersens, daughter passed away.

She was an amazing athlete in many areas but Chelsi loved running.

My moms friend Nancy Gubler came up with an idea for a fund raiser

to always keep Chelsi's love for running living on!

So Nancy came up with "Chelsi's Run"

So for the past Four years on July 15th @ 10:00pm Megan and I Go help the groupie and my mom

Grandma lady.
this was her request for babysitting!

July:
Auntie M discovered Hudson loves Hot Dig-a-dee Dogs!

Poor Hudson.
He has a love hate relationship with this trike!
If it would only not swivel
or
if it had a lock on the wheels he would be a happier boy! !
Here are the Laidlaw twins!
The are so sweet!
So opposite of each other.
One has strawberry blonde hair and the other one has brunet hair.
One is OK with being pushed in awkward posses and the other
one is not!
They are Georgia and Elizabeth Laidlaw!
I had alot of fun doing the pictures.
Thanks Brit for letting me come over and play!!!!

Georgia is already practicing her smile, while her sissy sleeps!

The 4th of July!

We had a good turn out!
We had well over 50 people at Grams front yard this year!

Earlier that day a little birdie told me we had 44 people and 4 dogs at the lake!

Now that what I'm taking about!

Our attempt to get the 4th of July family picture!

The Haider Family

Cam, Meg & CocoBear!

My LOVE and I.

{It's very rare we get picture of just us!}

Don't be to jealous that our family is really fun!

This is my all time favorite.
It brings back memories of my cousins and I when we were little.

Nothing like a little "ooh and ahhhh" form the front yard crowd!

Hp still loves the fireworks.

But when the loud fireworks would go off he would take off running and come site by us!

Some of the Randolph Family!

The Heward and steree Family!

The Birthday girls!

Just own the night, Like the Fourth of July,Cause baby you're a firework!- Katy Perry

Hudson loves sparklers.

He kinda freaks me out.

No fear in this kid what so ever!

My cute little Family!

{minus a few!}

My men!

Happy 4th of july!

2011-07-04T08:04:00.000-07:00

memory lane

2011-06-10T15:00:00.000-07:00

So I have been wanting to do something like this for a couple of weeks.

I'm going to pick a picture out of a old file on my computer and walk down memory lane once in awhile!

Oh but ....I do think this will be hard for me seeing old photos of this little guy.

It makes me want to cry uncontrollably!

Look at all that fuzzy hair!

The eyebrows....

The lips....

The smirk....

Oh but wait.....that's not all.

Do you guys remember these bad boys?

"Ooooh man" did I looove stick on earring.

They always wound up in my hair after I would go to bed, for some reason!!

Temple Square!

2011-05-31T22:52:00.000-07:00

Sunday:

We went to Temple Square!

It was raining and cold but we didn't care!

(I'm glad it just wasn't on zoo day!)

We just got out our umbrellas.

Just look at the singing in the rain crew!

Aren't they cute?

These two cute people celebrated their 1st anniversary!

I Can't believe it.

It feels like they have been together forever!

Don't they make a cute couple?

We love you both soo much and are way proud of you and what a great couple you are together!

This was the first time for me and my family to see the new Conference Center!

Can I just say wow!

It was amazing.

I loved it, I want to go up there to the next conference!

You can feel the spirit right when you walk in!

At least my mom and I could.

Thank goodness I can always count on her to be my crying Buddie!

The roof top was so fun and pretty they have such pretty

trees up on the roof top.

My favorite part was the wall of people and the scripture.

“And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation,

and kindred, and tongue, and people."

(D&C 133:37-38)

Can I just live in this house?
It's so cute!

Plus, it's next to the temple!

The flowers on the temple grounds are soo pretty!

We walked around and listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and then headed back to the car to get dry.

This was a great and fun trip.

I loved it!

Everything went so well.

Just don't ask Chris about my drivers ed talk to him.

Cause he might say other wise.

( Chris say's I would be a great drivers ed teach.... left blinker,

Slow down woo-ow, woo-ow you are getting to close, exct. :) poor guy! )

Then we headed for home with no gas station stops!

Well actually one but it was to get actual gas! :)

ZOO!

2011-05-31T22:47:00.000-07:00

OOOH Memorial weekend getaway.

You were much needed and loved!!!

First off we went lift St.George around 4:00pm.

Made it to SLC around 8:00pm.

This was our first long trip with HP and

I wasn't sure how it would go???

But can I just say this he did....

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!

I was so proud of him the whole way up and back!

Thank goodness he had a back seat Buddie!

(GRANDMA LADY)

But we did have a little detour to a gas station.

We were fallowing Cameron and Megan

and wondered why they pulled off to the gas station?

Well...we soon found out!

We thought maybe the kids threw up??

Nope!

Cam came over and told us that as they were driving on the freeway Ashley said she had to go to the bathroom,

they told her to hold on and that they were just minutes

from the hotel.

But then all of a sudden, they heard Ashley say

" I'm POOPING, I'm pooping!"

Really??? lol.

Thank goodness Megan has been a CNA!

This was Hudson and my first trip to the zoo.

So as you can imagine I was pretty stoked!

And it didn't disappoint Me or Hudson!

+ We had a pretty fun group.

My Mom came and so did Megan, Camie, Smash, Ayden,
Uncle Casey and his friend Connor.

More the merry! :)

Can I Just take this guy home.

Oh he was so cute!

So of course we had to take some pictures by him OK, OK, not him but you know what I mean!


mommmmm! ;)

Chris is always monkeying around
or
should I say....

Nope I won't!

Look how cute our little gorillas are!

Then we went into the reptile room UGHHHH!

Some of the things in there made me squirm!

But the owl was freakin cute!

To bad our kid-lings don't follow us like this.

Can you imagine going to the store, Park?

It would be a cinch!

So Hp is not afraid of to many things, just the...

Car wash, leaves moving in the wind lol, the shower.

Oh and this GUY!!!!

T-REX!

He wouldn't even look at him.

He never cried but he just wouldn't look at him!

Isn't the world small???

While we were up at the zoo we ran into a friend of Chris's
Logan Fielding!

Hudson loooved the Giraffes.

He loved them so much he kept putting his hand in between the fence to try to tickle, tickle them.

The carousel was fun.
I don't think I have ever been on one.

I loved how Hudson loved it!

Man oh man this little Baby Elephant reminded me of Hudson.

Hiper!

Did some one give him sugar before he came out to see us?

I think so.

Cause that's what happens to Hp when we give him sugar!

"RAAAAWERRRRRR"

Then to end our zoo trip, we went on the train.

Thomas the train if you asked Hudson!

Connor John Heward!

2011-05-31T20:38:00.000-07:00

Connor Graduated last week.

With high honor roll!

WOW can you imagine this young man was 10 years old, 8 years ago

when I came into the Heward Family!!!!!

He is such a sweet heart.

I just love him, he has a heart of gold and is always fun to be around.

Connor I know people say this to graduates, but...

I have always said this about you!

You have great things in your future because of how good of a person you have and are becoming.

Grandma and Grandpa Hammer came down for your graduation.

Casey made it too.

You had a pretty good support group to watch you get your diploma.

Mean while, when Connor was visiting and saying his goodbyes,

Hudson decided to go flying!

And Avrey was a really good little baby during the graduation until everyone kept visiting :(

and

when HP got home he was out before we knew it lol.

Congrats!!

Connor and we are so proud of you and

what a good person you are!

Me and THE HP playing!

2011-05-24T08:00:00.000-07:00

NOTHING IS FUNNER THEN PLAYING WITH YOU HUDSON!

Mothers Day hooray !!!!!!

2011-05-23T18:08:00.000-07:00

Was great.

It couldn't have been better!

We went to church.
Look at my handsome little man!


This card was from my cute boys. Look how cute Hudson's scribbles are!

Hudson said he would give me two kisses.

I got a rain check on that one! lol

Made some flowers.

I usually give my mothers real flowers but, this year I thought I would make some cute Fabric Flowers from a blog tutorial.

here is a link:

http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-no-sew-flowers.html

This beautiful lady is my Grams!

I luv her soo much.

She is one of the most amazing people I know.

She feels more like a mom to me.
(And gets ask if she is my mom too! lol :})

Hudson and I had to go give her a
flower cause she means the world to us!

Then we went to the Hewards...

These to little squirts are what make Mother's Day possible!

OOh and this one.

We cant forget her!

To bad I cant say they are all mine:(

Ooh and then there is this cute lady.
My mother in-law

AKA... the best mother in-law a girl could ask for!

She is like having Beaver Cleaver's mom as a mother in-law.

Some times that can be intimidating.
Cause Chris's expectations are probably
high on what a mother can do!
( oh dear! Poor me.)

I love her soo much.

Thanks Jan for always being the best and most sweetest

mother in-law a girl could ask for!

Aren't they both just sweet!


(mmmm I could just eat her little cheeks! Baby Avrey's, that is! lol) And then there is this lovely lady.... what can I say about her? She is Wonder Women / MOM! Well she is the reason I'm the person I am today! (only the good parts not the bad) She has taught me so much and is such a great example to me. And my most bosom friend. Together we are kindred spirits! ;) (what movie is that from mom??)

We stitched her Hudson's hand and gave it to her in a frame.

(It may have given me carpal-tonal thou? But... it was worth it!)

This is what my boys gave me for mother's day.

Roses,
Candy,

(which I probable don't need but whatever it mother's day)

Krave Gift card,

And the best present everrrrrrr

A Photo-booth strip of the two most handsom guys ever!

(I loved it. It was so clever and thoughtful!)

Thanks chris and HP!

April late update!

2011-05-23T18:07:00.000-07:00

Uncle Casey came down to visit and came to our house .
We love when uncle Cas comes over.

A little play time with Grandma LADY.......

{Excuse the no makeup momma!}

when my mom came over to play I told her that I wanted to take a few picture of her!

I couldn't believe she agreed to it.

If anyone knows my mother at allll you would know that this lovely lady does NOT like to have her pictures taken.

I don't know why?
Cause she is roc-kin.

{As a one of my girlfriends said.}
"she's Roc-kin!"

Lady don't get mad that I posted these pictures on here!

Big Border!

2011-05-02T08:00:00.000-07:00

MATTHEW SORENSON

My Brother last July competed in the LA Light Heavy weight Body Building computation.
We wanted to go down and support him soo bad, but things just kept coming up.
So when my mom was randomly surfing the internet this last Saturday she just so happened to come across my Big Broder( aka brother) picture how crazy is that??
So I thought about him.
I guess this is my little way of supporting him!
And saying good job but Please don't do it again MR. HAPPY PANTS!

We are so proud of him.
I never knew how hard it is and was to do a Body Building computation..
It takes so much time, dedication, discipline and being grumpy too.
If you were to look at him you would think he was hard and scarey but truly my Big Broder is a softy threw and threw with a few rough edges!
Love you BIG BRODER!
PS. I don't know what is up with his hair.
I have one thing to say about his hair and that is, I should have been there!

xxxxxxx Sandwich Kiss xxxxxxxx

2011-05-01T16:28:00.000-07:00

Happy Sunday everyone!

This is what I call a sandwich kiss!
And they're delicious to!!
My mom and I love giving these to Hudson!

Easter Sunday!

2011-04-29T12:27:00.000-07:00

Easter Sunday!

We visited then.
Then we dyed Easter eggs.
Then came we up with a brilliant idea to draw each other on a egg.
So we drew names and started our face drawing!

It was so fun to see what everyone came up with and I have to say next year a couple people shouldn't be able to participate cause they were to good!
Hudson's egg was the absolute best!!!

EeASTER eGG hUNT oVer LOaD!

2011-04-29T11:59:00.000-07:00

SANTA CLARA EASTER EGG HUNT!!

I have been looking forward to this since January!

Hudson was soo cute!
Hudson just looked at all the people until they said GO!
Then Hudson and Chris went in and started hunting!
Easter egg hunting that is!
First Hudson did really good at picking them up and putting the candy in his Easter Basket.
Then I think he thought they were balls and started to throw them.
( We don't give Hudson candy cause he is already the energizer bunny!!!
So he doesn't care for candy or knows what candy even looks like!)
BUT .... NOT FOR LONG I'M AFRAID!

OH THEN MY LITTLE MR. SHOW OFF STARTED TO DANCE FOR ANYONE AND
EVERYONE THAT WAS LOOKING!

OOOH BUT I'M NOT DONE THEN HUDSON DECIDED TO THROW HIS ELMO BASKET TO BE EVEN MORE OF A CUTE LITTLE SHOW OFF!

THEN COUSIN BRIN SHOWED UP AND HE FOLLOWED HER AROUND...

....AND FOUND A FRIEND.
TY AND HUDSON SHOULD BE {BFF'S}
BECAUSE THIER GRANDMA'S ARE AND HAVE BEEN SINCE KINDERGARTEN!

THEN WE TOOK SOME FAMILY PICTURES!

One year prettier and wiser to Happy Birthday to you!

2011-04-29T11:32:00.000-07:00

It was this lovely lady's Birthday this month!
Hudson and I brought the Birthday girl her favorite drink DIET MOUNTAIN DEW and
a cute balloon!!!!Hudson loved Grandma Lady's Balloon.
Grandma clipped the balloon to the back of Hudson's pants,
and he thought that was pretty nifty!

These two lovely lady's are my BFF'S!

Then we went to dinner with the Birthday Girl.
her choice!
Applebee's we had sooo much fun laughing and giggling our hearts out!

Lady thank you for always being there for me and
being my best friend you mean the world to me.
I learn so much from you!
Your are such a strong and amazing person and a awesome grandma and mom.
You light up everyone's life!
{ That's why everyone wants you to be their friend}
You are special and I love you!

What we have been up to in april!

2011-04-27T21:45:00.000-07:00

I love this Easter decoration, it reminds me of when I was younger.
My mom gave it to me, and now Hudson loves it too!

When Hudson woke up from his nap and he was repetitively saying.... whatz zat?
So I got it down for him to look at.
He loves it!
You can wind it up and it sing the Easter parade song!

Some one has been a notty notty eater lately!
I don't understand maybe it a phase kids go threw,
but this little man likes to play with his food.
It is driving me CRAZYYY!
Only cause I worry about whether he is:
Going to loss weight
Getting enough nutrition
Hungry all the time and I'm not sure if he is or not?
What does a mother do??
PRAY it's a phase!

Don't you wish????

2011-04-18T12:34:00.001-07:00

Don't you wish you had these legs??
Happy Monday!

Baby Avrey!

2011-04-11T14:00:00.000-07:00

So my sister in law Chantelle and her husband Adam had their second baby.
We took pictures a little after she was born!
Avrey was sooo cute and good!
She just stayed asleep the whole time!

Brinley was soo cute with her sissy!
She was clapping her hands together!
She is going to be a cute sissy!

Family of four!

{Hewards family spring pictures}

2011-04-11T09:12:00.000-07:00

We took the Heward family pictures last weekend.
So when we were talking about the family colors I said bright colors and all different colors.
Well the boys didn't listen they all wore the same color of shirts!
What??
Needless to say it turned out great anyways!
Thanks family for being so patient during are always fun family picture taking!

My cute Mother and Father in-law!

For our little family picture.
Let me just tell you all how that went!!!
Frustrating :)
This picture was taken with Hudson screaming!!!
So Chris and Hudson had to spin around and around,
and then I jumping in to smile.
WOW can you say dizzy!
That's my little HP for you nothing can ever be easy! Right??
The Steere Family has added one more to their family, sweet baby Avrey.
(More pictures of that cute little thing coming soon.)
Another little Heward Family, our Newly weds, Chad and Miss Mikey.
Mikey and Chad will be gone during the summer so this was last chance for family pictures!
Grandma and Grandpa Hammer came to visit,
and it just so happened, right in time for family pictures.
So of course we had to take some generation pictures!

These are the Hewy boys.
Aren't they so freaking handsome!
Especially one in particular??? ;)

Where oh where have we been?

2011-03-21T12:48:00.000-07:00

I was able to take some belly bump pictures of my sister in-law last week.
We thought she was going to have her baby by now, but it looks like the little fella, Oh I mean it is going to stay in for awhile.
They decided to touchier us by not finding out what they are going to have!
Ugh!!!!
But I think it is a boy, along with a couple of other family members.
I think the pictures turn out pretty cute.
Now baby boy or girl just stay in a while longer so Auntie M can get over this cold and take loooots of picture of you ohh and So I can kiss you!
mmmmugh!!!
xoxo...

I took pictures of HP for his 18 month marker.
Isn't that crazy my baby is now over 18 months!!
I think I'm going to cry.

*Hudson you love Buzz Light Year, Elmo, Barney and Thomas the train.
*You can say: Aaaan, Ooh, Fee!!! (One, Two ,Three).
*You are in 5T shoes and 24 month clothes.
You also say: No way, Wooow, Buzz, Dadda, Night night, Heywow (hello), Itey (kitty), Gog (Dog).
*You have had croup four times since you were born. (not fun)
*You go head first down the stairs.
*You cheese it like Grandma Lady when she says Hi baby to you!
*You love sticking things anywhere that has a hole.
*You love hanging out with the big kids and you think you are one too.
*You are a very stubborn eater.

HP sticking the screw drivers in the vacuum. (ooh yeah for me)
Can any one tell me why is it my kid does naughty things and I just think its funny and I go grab my camera!

Hudson enjoys being outside so much,
I think if we went homeless he would be the only one that wouldn't care.
HP play with Thomas, Tonka and Baxter the dog!
He loves Baxter!

Cheesing it!
Spaghetti feet anyone????
This is how serious Hudson is when he eats his food!

My GQ boys.
Looking their best for church! Chris, Hudson and
......the Two buzzes!

Can we say bubbles, bubbles, bubbles.
( Like the fish from Nemo?)

Miss Brinley BOO had her 2nd Birthday.
Hudson and Brin loved the balloons and oh of course, her dog that she got
from Uncle Chad and Aunt Mikey!

Scrapbooking=Busy!

2011-02-19T17:40:00.000-08:00

I have been a little crazy busy trying to get my scrapbook book done,
before the flat rate sale was over!
I did get it done, Yeah!
It comes this week.
It's a 12x12 book with a 100 pages.
I got the book for $30.00. That's wright 30.00!!!
So excited.
When it would normally cost around $180.00!
"Need I say more!!"
I have seen what it looks like and they are a great quality, the only thing about putting it in a book and not in a binder with sheet protectors is that I have to make sure I do them chronological order and not out of order like I like to do sense I have ADD, and that's what works best for me. But I wont be doing that for the next scrapbook!
Because that really messed me up having to stay awake for insane amounts of time
to make sure I had every thing in order!

Snow day in St. George??? & Sandra's gotta new MAN!!

2011-01-29T16:03:00.000-08:00

WE WENT UP TO PINE VALLY THE DAY AFTER NEW YEARS TO GO TUBING!

WE HAD A LOT OF FUN GOING WITH THE HAIDERS, CAMERON'S BROTHER CODY, SMASH, AYDEN AND MY MOM!

IT WAS A BUSY DAY IN PINE VALLEY I THINK EVERYONE HAD THE SAME IDEA!

HUDSON WAS NOT LIKING IT AT ALL, SO HIM AND GRAM'S WENT BACK TO THE CAR TO WARM UP AND MAKE A NEW FRIEND!

SOMETHING TO KEEP US ENTERTAINED AS WE WAITED FOR OUR TUBERS TO COME DOWN THE HILL!
{ WE THOUGHT WE WERE PRETTY FUNNY}

HUD LIKED GOING DOWN THE HILL WITH HIS DADA!
CHRIS WOULD SHOW HIM OFF LIKE HE WAS THE BABY LION ON THE LION KING MOVIE!

SMASH AND AYDEN ARE THE CUTEST LITTLE TWINS!

I LOVED THE SCENERY.
IT WAS SOO FUN TO GET OUT OF st.George WITH THE FAMILY!

{HP}

2011-01-26T06:04:00.000-08:00

SO I LET HUDSON EAT HIS FOOD ALL BY HIMSELF THE OTHER DAY.
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH IT...
AND SURE ENOUGH, I LOOKED OVER AND IT WAS ON THE FLOOR!
BUT CAN I JUST SAY HE IS THE CUTEST LITTLE "ALL BY HIMSELF EATER!"
I LOVE YOU MY LITTLE MAN!

Bring on the new year!!!!!

2011-01-25T06:09:00.000-08:00

My little sister is going to have a baby. It came as a surprise to all of us. We are so excited for Cameron and her. They truly are going to be the best parents ever. Since they already take great care of my little man, my brothers Girlfriend's kids, and babysits 3 other cute family members! They know what the are getting into. If you ask me they have nothing to be worried about. They are going to be the most experienced first parents I will ever know. THIS IS HOW MY SISSY AND HER HUBBY TOLD ME SHE WAS PREGO. THIS CUTE PICTURE WAS PINNED ONTO HP'S SHIRT!

CHRISTMAS MORNING @MY MOM'S

2011-01-06T20:10:00.000-08:00

WE MADE THIS FOR MY MOM AND A FEW OTHERS FOR CHRISTMAS.
I GOT THE IDEA FROM ANOTHER BLOG AND LOVED IT,
SO DID MY MOM.

AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.
IT WAS DIFFERENT BUT IT TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD!

AFTER WE GOT DONE WITH THE HEWARD'S, I CAME HOME TO MY MOM'S WHILE THE BOYS SLEPT.
MY MOM AND I MADE A NEW FAMILY TRADITION CAUSE WE NEEDED ONE.
WE MADE THE CASSEROLE FROM THE MOVIE FAMILY STONE
{ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIES}
AND SOME ORANGE ROLLS, CAUSE WE CAN HAVE THAT KIND OF STUFF IN OUR HOUSE NOW!
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S A GOOD THING OR BAD I THINK WE MIGHT ALL GET FAT!

AROUND 11:30 AM EVERYONE SHOWED UP.
WE OPENED OUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AND WATCHED THE KIDS RIDE ON THEIR NEW BIKES.
WE HAD A BLAST.
P.S. MOM WE NEVER DID THE PICKLE!!!!!!!!
{WE NEED TO DO THAT}
WE ALWAYS HIDE A PICKLE ON THE TREE AND THEN EVERYONE TRIES TO FIND IT. THE FIRST ONE THAT FINDS IT GETS MOVIE TICKETS!!!
SCORE!

MY MOM'S HOUSE WAS MAGICAL
{AS IT ALWAYS IS FOR CHRISTMAS}
WHEN YOU WALK IN IT SMELLED OF PINE TREES,WAS WARM, PRETTY AND SPARKLY!
I REALLY LOVED IT THIS YEAR!
SHE DECORATED IT DIFFERENT FOR A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIFES.

CHRISTMAS MORNING @ THE HEWARD'S

2011-01-06T19:38:00.001-08:00

THIS YEAR WE WOKE UP EARLY! MORE LIKE REALLY REALLY EARLY .
WE WANTED MY CUTE MOTHER IN-LAW TO SPEND IT WITH US BEFORE SHE HAD TO GO TO WORK.

WHEN WE GOT TO THE HEWARD'S SANTA'S HELPERS ALWAYS WRAP UP THE OPENING TO THE CHRISTMAS TREE, SO THE LITTLE KIDDIES CANT SNEAK IN AND OPEN UP THE PRESENTS BEFORE MOM AND DAD GET UP , WHICH I LOVE AND HOPE SANTA WILL START DOING THAT AT OUR HOME WHEN WE GET ONE!

HUDSON LOOOOVED IT!

WE HAD A FEW TEARS FROM THE LITTLE ONES BUT NOTHING TO BAD SINCE THEY DID WAKE UP EARLY. BUT FOR THE MOST PART HUDSON AND BRINLEY WERE ONCE AGAIN THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.
THOSE TWO ARE FUUUNNY TOGETHER.
BRINLEY ALWAYS PATS HUDSON'S HEAD AND HUD FOLLOWS HER AROUND GETTING IN TO ALL SORTS OF THINGS,
MOSTLY THE DISH CUPBOARD.{ POOR GRANDMA}!

WE ARE SOOO GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND CHRISTMAS ALL TOGETHER.

LAIDLAW CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY!!!

2011-01-06T19:36:00.000-08:00

WE PLAYED GAMES.

TRADITIONS TRADITIONS TRADITIONS!
I ONCE WAS CALLED THE TRADITION KEY KEEPER BY MY GRANDPA LAIDLAW.
I THINK IT'S CAUSE I ALWAYS NOTICE IF WE CHANGE THINGS OR DON'T DO OUR TRADITIONS AND I MEAN ALWAYS!!!!
OUR FAMILY TAPIOCA PUDDING WITH THE ALMOND TRADITION.
IS THE FAMILY'S FAVORITE, ALONG WITH GRANDPA PLAYING THE ACCORDION AND
GRANDMA AND GRANDPA SINGING YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE.
WE DIDN'T WIN THE MONEY THIS YEAR :( BUT....
NEXT YEAR WE WILL WIN THE TAPIOCA PUDDING TRADITION!

AND HUDSON PLAYED WITH THE TOYS.

HEWARD CHRISTMAS EVE.

2011-01-06T19:35:00.001-08:00

HUDSON AND I WENT TO THE HEWARD'S CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY FIRST.
IT WAS GREAT THE SYPHUS FAMILY CAME OVER, CHANTELLE, ADAM AND BRINLEY CAME OVER AND UNCLE CASEY MADE IT TOO!
I LOVE THE TRADITIONS WE HAVE WITH THEM.
WE ALWAYS HAVE SOUP BUT
NOT JUST ANY SOUP.... JAN'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP. (LOOOOOVE IT!)
WE WATCH THE NATIVITY AND THEN PLAY GAMES.

Laidlaw family Christmas party.......

2011-01-06T18:30:00.000-08:00

SANTA, SANTA, SANTA!!!

THIS YEAR WAS A REALLY FUN LAIDLAW CHRISTMAS PARTY.
WE HAD A VERY SPECIAL GUESS COME TO THE PARTY!
THAT'S RIGHT SANTA!
THE KIDS WERE IN LOVE AND ALSO A LITTLE SCARED.

EVERY ONE TOOK A TURN TO SIT ON SANTA'S LAP!
MY GRANDPA WAS THE BIGGEST SURPRISE TO OUR FAMILY TO SIT ON SANTA'S LAP!
WE HAVE A LOT OF BIG BIG KIDS IN THE FAMILY I'M GLAD SANTA IS STRONG.LOL!

MY GRANDPA PLAYS THE ACCORDION, AND HAS FOR YEARS.
WE ALSO DID THE Nativity THIS YEAR SINCE WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS.
IT WAS SOO CUTE AND FUNNY, SOME TOOK THEIR ROLLS REALLY SERIOUS!
THAT'S WHAT MADE IT EVEN BETTER.
THEY ALL DID SUCH A CUTE JOB!

BUT IF YOU ASK ME I THINK SANTA SHOULD BE PUT ON THE NAUGHTY LIST!
WHAT DO YOU THINK????

A little Merry Christmas.........

2010-12-14T09:35:00.000-08:00

Megan, Ashley & Ayden made some Ginger bread cookies and
surprised our little Family with them.
They were really good! And Very Cute.
But I think what was the cutest thing was when I heard some one out side my door say "k" ...
Say "Merry Christmas."
It was so cute.
Megan is going to be the best little mommy when she and Cam decided
to have kids of their own,
But right now Meg is almost a full time mommy,
a very good one at that and a very busy one too.

Thanksgiving!!!

2010-12-14T09:30:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving....
Was a little different for My family, but we made the best of it.
Chris' family's Thanksgiving was good.
Jan did a wonderful job setting it up.
It always looks good, she does such a cute job.
HP and Brin were the Entertainment.
One of them was always making us laugh!
( can you just tell)!
HP was yelling at the basketball, while Brinley was trying everyone's shoes on, but...
I think the snazziest shoes were her dad's shoes.
(looking good Brinley)

So I'm still stuck in November.
Before I can say Merry Christmas, (at least in my blog world).
I need to catch up with Novembers pic.
Soo until then here is a little update of my brother in-law Connor.
We took his senior pictures this last weekend.
I just have to say "He can work the camera", he knew exactly what to do.
He was very workable anything I wanted him to do he was up for .
Not a lot of guys his age would have said "What ever you want me to do I will do it"!
He did have one exception.... running threw water.
I don't know why?????? lol.
But here is my very cute and one of my favorite brother in-law senior pictures.
Thanks Connor for being such a awesome kid!

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY FOR TWO!

2010-11-16T08:00:00.000-08:00

NOVEMBER 12TH
IT WAS AYDEN AND ASHLEY'S
BIRTHDAY
WE WENT TO PIRATE ISLAND PIZZA.

WE HAD A LOT OF FUN WATCHING THE KIDS OPEN THEIR PRESENTS.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH KID TO TAKE A PICTURE OF, BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS TO OPEN UP ANOTHER PRESENT I COULDN'T KEEP UP!
THEY GOT A MR. AND MRS. POTATO HEAD,
PUZZLES,
ART STUFF THANKS TO GRANDMA LADY!!!!
NEW CLOTHES, SOME AWESOME KICKS AND
LEGO LAND TICKETS.
THEY ARE GOING FOR THREE DAYS AND
MUCH MUCH MORE!!!
THANKS TO THE TWIN'S MOM AND MATT.

(P.S. ASHLEY AND A BOY FROM SCHOOL DID SOME CREATIVE CUTTING IN SCHOOL ON HER BANGS!
CAN YOU SEE THEM?
SHE ACTUALLY CAN PULL THEM OFF,
CAUSE WHAT WOULDN'T LOOK CUTE ON HER)!

MY CUTE BROTHER AND MY VERY PRETTY MOM!

{TWILIGHT}

2010-11-16T07:45:00.000-08:00

NOVEMBER 8TH
Was Megan 20th Birthday!
I can't believe Megan is already 20, is that even possible????
I still think of her in a diaper eating Kix cereal!
The cutest permed hair Blondie you had ever seen.
But as she would have said she's"alll growd up"
with dark hair and absolutely gorgeous.
I love her so much!

My Mom and I did a Twilight theme. It was soo much fun!

We had type A & B positive blood,
some fangs,
apples,
Quotes,
bloody cupcakes,
and the PRETTIEST BIRTHDAY GIRL!

She was spoiled by everyone that loves her!
A little Christmas....
Perfume,
Bluetooth,
Ipod touch,
Clothes.
(If she is missing a couple of things its not me!!!)

Oooh have I told you the new news... Hudson is a baby Vampire.
He even sparkles, well actually I think I'm the only one that can see him sparkle!

Nothing like a little baby "body slam" to make a party funnier!

It wouldn't be a party if you didn't have family, Family makes everything more fun.

2010-11-16T06:51:00.000-08:00

The things I love about HP!

{HAPPY HALLOWEEN}

2010-10-31T14:52:00.000-07:00

THIS YEAR WE WENT AS SOME OF THE DISNEY CHARACTERS.
ME AS URSULA ,HUDSON AS THE SHARK!
CHRIS WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE URSALA AND I WOULD HAVE FINALLY BEEN ABLE TO FULFILL MY LIFE LONG DREAM OF BEING AERIAL BUT...
CHRIS HAD TO WORK :(.
WE WERE SAD WHEN WE HOUND OUT CHRIS WAS WORKING HALLOWEEN.
BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON .

MEGAN AND CAM WENT AS... BARBIE AND KEN.
WOW DID THEY KNOW HOW TO ROCK THE BARBIE AND KEN LOOK!
MEGAN STILL DOESN'T KNOW HOW BARBIE CAN WALK AROUND WITH ONLY A SMILE ON HER FACE WITH HIGH HILLS ON.
BUT SHE DID WHAT BARBIE WOULD DO!
WALK AROUND WITH A SMILE!

LET ME ASK YOU...
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A LADYBUG KISS A SHARK ??

WE HAD A BLAST PARTYING WITH....
A BALLERINA,
A SKELETON,
A COWBOY,
A BANANA DOG,
A MUCH SMALLER LADY BUG,
A SPIDER MAN,
ANOTHER BALLERINA,
AND A CUTE KITTY!
TO NAME A FEW.
THE KIDS MADE A MESS IN AUNT SHERRY'S TOY CLOSET
ALL WITH A SUGAR HIGH NO LESS!
WE HAD POTLUCK SOUPS!
YUMMY!
I THINK WE ALL HAD A PRETTY GOOD GHOULISH NIGHT!
HOPE YOUR HALLOWEEN WAS AS GREAT AS OURS!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THE TOILET BANDIT!

2010-10-06T21:53:00.000-07:00

LAST WEEK I WAS UP STAIRS TAKING A SHOWER AND I HAD LEFT HUDSON DOWN STAIRS TO WATCH ELMO.
WHEN I CAME DOWN TO CHECK ON HIM I FOUND A SURPRISE!

I GOT "T.P." IN MY FRONT ROOM!
I TEXT ALL MY FAMILY ASKING WHO HAD DONE THIS, BUT THEY ALL JUST LAUGHED!
SO I TURNED TO THE ONLY PERSON I KNEW THAT WOULD DO SUCH A THING.
IT WAS ... HUDSON P HEWARD.
GUILTY AS CHARGED.
SINCE HE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT NOT THIS BAD.
WHEN I CAME AROUND THE CORNER HE LOOKED UP AT ME & GAVE ME A BIG PHAT GRIN THEN WAVED SOME TOILET PAPER IN THE AIR LIKE "HERE MOM"
THEN I GAVE HIM A LOOK LIKE "NO WAY"!
THAT'S WHEN THE LITTLE TOILET BANDIT RAN INTO THE CLOSET TO GET AWAY.
WHAT A STINKER.
HE IS WORSE THEN MY CAT BOO OR ANY DOG I KNOW!

THE PARK!

2010-10-06T21:31:00.000-07:00

WE WENT TO THE PARK THE OTHER DAY.

BEFORE ALL THE RAIN.
WE HAD A BLAST.
WE ATE PIZZA,
PLAYED TAG,
AND DID A LITTLE SWINGING!
HUDSON LOVES TO SWING.
ALL HE DOES IS STARES AT EVERY ONE THAT WALKS BY WITH A BLANK LOOK ON HIS FACE. LOL!
SMASH AND AYDEN MAKE THING SO MUCH MORE FUN!
AUNTIE M AND UNCLE CAM ARE THE COOLEST BIG PEOPLE EVER!

The rodeo and .... Mr.Cool!

2010-09-20T21:06:00.000-07:00

We haven't been up to a whole lot this month which has been kinda nice for a change.
I still feel like we are always on the go.
Isn't that how it always goes??

Well we went to the Rodeo this past week.
We went Thursday night on a whim.
It was kids night, and oooh was it kids night.
I think every kid in St.George was there.
We went with Auntie M, Cam, Matt, Faye, Smash and Ayden.
Hudson had his cowboy boots on that my mom gave him, but oh man did he hate those things! They didn't last for more then a few second. lol!!!
We had fun because we went with our family but... I don't think we will be doing that again
any time soon.
Not at least until our kids are begging us to go!

There was a bull at the rodeo that reminded me of Ferdinand the bull!
I loved him.
He was so cute and well... a little scary too!

This is MR.COOL.

And this is also the first time he has ever kept glasses on his face .
We had to do a lot of cheering for Hudson to keep these on !!

UMMMM got to LOVE him.
He makes me soo happy.
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE HUDSON
I LOVE YOU!

For Grandam HeWy!!!

2010-09-12T14:13:00.000-07:00
