Jump, Jump, Jump!

Bennett is getting too big too fast! He is almost 4 months and and already jumping away in the Jumperoo! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was walking the mall trying to make him realize it was time to join our family. Now he is rolling over from tummy to back, holding toys and jumping! STOP growing little guy...you are most likely my last baby.

College

As many of you know Hudson is OBSESSED with Toy Story. He told me a few weeks ago that he wasn't ever going to college. When I asked why he told me that it will make me cry. If you have seen Toy Story 3 you know where he got this idea. I have to say the end of the movie does bring tears to my eyes, even more so now. I sat Hudson down a told him that Andy's mom cries happy tears in the movie because she is so proud of Andy. He is still a bit hesitant about going to college, but we have time to work on that.

To My Boys...

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that

(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Wont let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school

(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
No one's ever burned
Nothing's ever left you scarred
Even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up
It could still be simple

(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heat
And even throuhg toyu want to, please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just never grow up

Christmas

Christmas Eve before Church

Christmas Morning

We had the most amazing Christmas this year. Not because of a party or the gifts, but because we were able to see it through Hudson's eyes. This is the first year that he "got it" and boy did he love it! He requested Christmas music every time we got in the car, wanted to read all of his Christmas books books every night, pointed out the lights everywhere we went and asked a lot of questions about Santa. He loved it all and honestly I don't think he was all that concerned about receiving gifts. He loved opening them, but it didn't even matter if they were for him. He did receive the Buzz Lightyear that he asked Santa for...that made him happy. I can't wait for next year!
