I promised pictures!

It was really a beautiful day. We did expect rain so we still brought along our trusty umbrellas. A big shout out to Brooke my sis-in-law for bringing her camera along and for taking these photos. We also had our camera but we couldn't take pics of ourselves.

 

We are so grateful to our families who came and shared this special day with us!

Life comes at you fast.

It's August already people. My baby boy is 7 months old now. Nautica starts back to school in 2 weeks. It feels like it hasn't even started to get hot around these parts yet.

Chris and I have been married 2 years in October. Let me just say, Chris is definitely my "Mr. Right"! I love him so much. He is the best husband, and by best husband I mean he is a fantastic cook! I'm kidding, but honestly ladies you know that's a big deal. We are at a point in our lives where we are kind of in limbo. Chris is starting back to school but we are also looking for a job for him. We are doing a great deal of looking for said job outside this state. Who knows where we'll be, come the end of the year.

Last weekend Chris and I took our little family to the temple. That's right,  it's forever now! What a wonderful experience. It was nice to share our special moment with some of our family members. (I'll post pictures soon)


We'll be seeing much of my family again here soon. We have a chance to go the Bear Lake with my brother's girlfriend. Her family owns a cabin there and has offered to let our family utilize it for a weekend. It sounds like many of my siblings will be there. We are excited for the time to relax.

My husband is well on his way to being a professional.

My sister-in-law, Candace asked us to take some family photos for her. We started in the garage studio and then went to Wheeler Farms. Chris has a great eye for lighting. Here are a few:

Our little man is getting so big.

 

He's getting big so fast. The older and bigger he gets the easier he is to handle!

So I guess I can't complain. I'll just have to take more pictures along the way.

That way I'll be able to remember all of his stages better.

He wants to stand most of the time now. Although he can't pull himself

up yet,  he won't bend his legs when we try to set him on the floor.

He tried out his new bigger car seat today in dad's car. I can say that might make a huge

difference in our road trips. 

This kid loves to eat! We have started to make our own homemade baby food!

It's actually a lot of fun. Hudson seems to enjoy the homemade stuff, so I think we'll keep that up.

I have been taking Hudson to the pool on most of my days off. I think it's pretty good people

watching for me and him.

I finally pulled some photos off my phone......

New fun stuff to post. Ready>>>>>>?

 

Here's Hudson chillin out relaxin on dad.

Trying on his moccasins.

Pulling faces

Trying on my fedora and my owl hat.  Looking all chill in my bouncer.

 Spending more time with Sissy. We miss her. We wish she could stay longer.

 At the park and on the front lawn. Nautica will just sit in the grass with Hudson and they'll watch the cars go by.

 

This was Hudson's first time sitting unassisted. Nautica is posing in the back saying, "look, no hands"!

Little buddy's first time sitting in the cart like a big boy! He loves it like this and won't have it any other way now!

Hudson is getting a little better in sacrament meeting.

One of my favorite pics of this kid. He just looks so sweet and innocent here.

 

Here is dad getting his first pedicure.

When mom's away..... Daddy gives baby red vines! hahaha YUMMY!

Mommy finally found some time to make herself a new dress. (10:00pm -1:00am)

Hudson had another hair cut! Second one so far. He sat on dad's lap outside and didn't seem to mind the clippers.

Unfortunately we didn't get any actions shots of the haircut. As you can imagine it takes both of us to get it done.

It's always fun when you discover something that will distract to kid for awhile!

Well, there you have it. The last couple of weeks of our lives in a nut shell. Stay tuned, there's always more to come. Pretty soon this rug rat will be mobile and we'll have to baby proof this place and I'm sure he'll create some stories for us to share.
