Showing off my babies ;)

Look at Aubrie.  She is growing way to fast.  This is at her 4 month check...yes 4 month and Monday she will be 5 months.  Where does time go?  I thought it flew by with one baby....ha...I didn't know the meaning of time flying until this angel arrived.  Look at how big she has gotten and too busy to be still for momma to snap a picture.  

 You better believe those cheeks get lots of kisses and then some more. 

Has experienced the bumbo and exercauser life.  You better believe this baby is NOT interested in laying in the floor and playing any more.  She is very clear on her desire of getting out of the floor. 

 Swatches came in for her bedding.  Oh how I am so excited this sweet girl is about to get her own room.  No I'm not excited about her moving out of the room with me but am excited she gets a room of her own and I can decorate it for her. 

 Hudson visited the pediatrician office this month.  He had what I thought was a horrible cough.  Started his inhalers and off the the doctor we went.  Yes I am that mom who runs to the doctor at every little cough.  I love Alexander City Pediatrics and think they are a great and sweet bunch.  They have so much patience with this crazy momma and I am so grateful.  Its not so easy taking a toddler to the doctor.  He wants to push his toys around in the floor and touch all the door knobs and handles in the room.  This momma is freaking out thinking I should have brought the Lysol or Clorox wipes, get up Hudson and don't touch a thing.  As one of the kind employees there told me once...they come in with one thing and then they catch something else while you are here.  UGH!!!  Its one thing to think that but when they say it out loud....they just don't know how paranoid I am.   

I took the kids to Cheyenne's Birthday party Saturday.  We left a little early because Hudson had been promised that his momma would take him to meet up with his daddy at the cow sale.  It was a first for both.  This what they both looked like after a busy Saturday.   

Happy Monday everyone!!!!

If you need me this week I will be the person standing in the corner with the red eyes and tissue.  That is right crying my eyes out because a certain little boy is turning 2 on Friday. 

Thank you GOD these two Miracles and Blessings!!!!!

Conversations with a 1 year old

I had to drag Hudson away from Aunt Elizabeth's yesterday.  Wait I better clear that up....drag him while he is slamming/throwing puzzles down mad because I am making him leave.....HELLO terrible 2's.  Can we say acting just like his daddy because his momma would never do such a thing ;)  Yes drag him the same kid I had to drag to Aunt Elizabeth's yesterday all the while saying.....I want to stay home and play with my tractors.  Does the kid ever get tired of tractors?  Oh wait....no he is Russ's child.  
So Aunt Elizabeth attempts to distract him by showing him the moon.  The moon that could not get out of our sight all the way home last night. 
Hudson: Moon at?
Me:  Up in sky
Hudson:  Me get it
Me:  Well we can't reach the moon.  GOD put the moon high in the sky to help us see at night.
Hudson:  Moon at?  Me get it. 
Me:  Same as above
Hudson: GOD get moon and give it me. 
Me:  What? 
Hudson: Repeats himself...GOD get moon and give it me
Me:  He is?
Hudson:  GOD at?
Me:  GOD lives in our heart and in heaven
Hudson: Heaven at? 

Later last night I am attempting to give Aubrie a bath.  Hudson is in and out of the bathroom playing..........yes you guessed it tractors.

Hudson:  GOD at?
Me:  GOD is in heaven and in our hearts
Hudson:  Heart at? 

This boy is full of questions.  I better start coming up with smarter answers. 

This morning Russ is trying to leave and asked Hudson for a hug and kiss
Hudson's response:  Just a minute, Just a minute.....the kid was busy in the floor playing tractors, hauling hay and feeding hay to the cows. 

Oh how I love conversations with this particular 1 year old.  He melts my heart!!!!

Here Hudson lost in some of his imagination.  Look close...........

My mom was telling me about some deer meat she had in her freezer.  Hudson gets all three of her ceramic deers and takes off.  Not knowing what he is doing and the fact he has ceramic deers we aren't too far behind him.  He starts screaming pan at?  Pan at?  He pulls out all the pots and lids and
Yes he is cooking deer....it was our lunch that day...ha. 
Oh how I love this kid.

1 year old

Thanks Elena and Ashley for the tips!!!!
I am still having issues not only is blogger hating on me right now but my computer is doing the same as well as photobucket.  So if you drive by my house and notice a yellow laptop in the road no need to return it...I finally had enough and reached my breaking point.  Who said this new technology age we live in is a good thing. 

So for now camera phone will have to do.  No smart comments about my lack of NEVER having my phone on me.  K...Thanks!!!

So onto better and brighter things.  I took the boy to get a haircut this weekend.  As Mike said its his first "REAL" haircut.  He is so handsome but its a little heartbreaking because it took that baby look away.  Not only did he get a haircut he started putting together bigger sentence afterwards.  So long 2 and 3 word sentences.  Not sure if this momma is ready for all this growing up.  Where is my baby boy?  Wasn't I just pregnant with him yesterday.  So for now I am enjoying Hudson last month as a one year old.  I will no longer be able to say he is so and so months I will be forced to say..........(oh I can't even type it). 

Here is the sweetheart enjoying some ice cream after being such a big boy getting his haircut.  Oh how precious and handsome he is.

Cutest Chick

 Isn't she the cutest little chick in town?  We were waiting to visit our FAVORITE photographer this morning for 3 month pictures.  Isn't she beautiful?   Can't believe she is 3 months old.  Time gets even faster with 2 babies. 

On a different note:
Blogger hates me.  For some reason blogger refuses to let me load any pictures from my home computer.  Does anybody have any pointers or know reasons why it refuses to let me blog from home.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!!!!! 

Well I attempted to add pictures of my beautiful babies but blogger wouldn't let me.  Maybe next time.

She's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Aubrie Elizabeth decided to make an even earlier arrival than scheduled. 
Aubrie was born October 5th, weighing in at 8lbs 12oz. 
Here is her sweet and precious face

We got to come home Saturday the 8th...

If any of you remember 6 years ago Russ and I wed on this particular day.  We are so happy that Aubrie decided to join us early and we were able to go home on such a special day. 

Hudson loves her so much.  He has been amazing.

Monday Hudson went to daycare.  As soon as he came home this is who he wanted.  I thought it was to precious not to share.  Momma and Daddy have been demoted.  Now when he wakes up in the night he calls for Aubrie.  Oh and don't be jealous.  I know I look hot ....a hot mess more like it;)

We are still here

After a long hiatus from the blogging world I decided to sacrifice a little sleep to update you on our little world.  We have had an extremely busy summer and things have yet to slow down any.  We love it though and can't wait for all the new busy around the house.  Here is a glimpse at our summer.


Aunt Amy came home TWICE this summer.  We were so excited to see her and have some much need play/quality time.  I personally think this little guy would love having Aunt Amy and Uncle Gabe live ALOT closer....just sayin

We went to the park and fed the geese and ducks.  Hudson wanted to climb the fence and join them in the water. 

We did a lot of swimming at Pop and Nanny's (Hudson has renamed Nana to Nanny)

Got our first John Deere Tractor.  Thanks to Ms. Holly that works with Grandmomma.  By the way this little guy loves his tractor.

Celebrated Uncle Jared's birthday.  Jack and Hudson had a great time playing together.  Jack is only about 6 months older than Hudson and I enjoy watching these two play together. 

Made our annual beach trip.  Last year Hudson was only 4 months and didn't really get into it.  This year sooooo much fun.  He loved the sand and water.  Excuse this Foster side of the family looks.  If you have a toddler you know picture taking session should occur before meal time.  Hudson had ketchup and strawberry milk all over his cute outfit and my white shirt.  We did most of our beach playing in the evening so this was on the way out to play. 

Has learned to be quite the little rough and tumble boy. 

Went to a birthday party at the Oxford Park had a great time at the splash park.  Wish this was closer to home. 

Helped daddy in the hay fields this summer.  He has officially cut and baled hay.  Every little farm boys dream right.  Not sure who loved it more Hudson or his dad. 

Had his first calf.  Check out that hat and upside down glasses.  Both are dad's and had to wear them just like dad. 

Had our first haircut.  Thank you Mike!!!! 

Lots of play time with Faith.  We are sad she had to start big school and is no longer at Aunt Elizabeth's.  I think she and Hudson both have had a hard time adjusting. 

Enjoyed some family time with some very special people.  So glad to see Lauren and Cody and their new addition Sadie. 

Had a wonderful playdate with Avery Claire and can't wait to do it again. 

Has become quite the farm hand.  Hudson may be on the fast track of following in daddy's footsteps.  No we aren't trying to feed Hudson to the cows. 

Has developed the "handsome Hudson" smile.  Isn't this adorable? 

Had our first boat ride.  Not sure if Pop or Hudson is the captain or who is having the most fun. 

Has decided that momma's pots have been sitting in the cabinet unused long enough.  Check out that "Pop" hat.  Pop and Nanny thought Hudson needed a straw hat like Pop....Hudson agrees.

Picked momma flowers.  Such a gentleman.  Excuse the red dixie cup but a momma had to display her flowers proudly. 

Pregnancy update:  Everything is going great.  She will be here officially less than a  month.  Looking forward to spoiling this sweet girl.  Her name is Aubrie Elizabeth

As I type this Hudson is asleep in our bed with some type of virus....fever & vomiting.  I wish these germs would stay away from our little man.  We have a rule at our house that a sick baby should get to sleep with his momma.  Not sure if this makes him feel better or not but it does momma.  Isn't that most important.....momma's peace of mind.
