Britni's Photography

My niece Britini is an amazing photographer. While we have been here in Palm Springs she has taken some fabulous pictures of Hudson. I love all of them I just had to share...

Hudson and I are in Palm Springs visiting Kris, Waco, Britni, Dave, Jenelle and Damon. Hudson met his cousins for the first time and he LOVES them. He couldn't be more spoiled by the whole Muse family. They have been loving on him 24 hours a day. When Hudson is napping I hear "is he up yet" a lot. His favorite activity has been swimming in their pool. He is getting good at splashing and kicking with his feet. I can't wait to get him into swimming lessons.

We are here for six more days. I'm nervous to leave, Hudson might cry.

Happy Birthday Jonah!

Presents!

Hudson

Today was Jonah's first birthday party. Hudson loved the party because there were balloons everywhere! Hudson loves balloons. They are his favorite part of going to the grocery store. When we check out he stares at the balloons and smiles and giggles. It's pretty cute.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY JONAH! WE LOVE YOU!

The Zoo

Happy Hudson, enjoying the view!


Wendy and Jonah the birthday boy!

Mommy and Hudson

Today was Hudson's friend Jonah's first birthday. We went to Woodland Park Zoo to celebrate. It was a beautiful day and Hudson loved being strolled around the zoo. He loves being outside. Tomorrow we are going to Jonah's birthday party. Hudson loves his buddy Jonah!

Five Months

Hudson turned five months today! I can't believe how fast he is growing and what a big boy he is. He is now able to sit up and is trying to crawl. I'm hoping that skill takes awhile...I'm not ready for it. His summer has been very busy with play dates, trips to Spokane, and visits from friends and family. We are leaving for Palm Springs on Sunday. I can't wait for him to meet his cousins Britni, Jenelle and Damon!

Sushi Date

Hudson is wearing the outfit that Jess and Nate gave him when he was born :). Thanks Jess and Nate!

Pre-pregnancy my friend Jessica and I met for sushi once a month. While I was pregnant we had to put our dates on hold. As most of you know, you aren't suppose to eat sushi while pregnant. Now that Hudson is here he is able to join us for our dates!

Beat the Heat!

I love this picture of Hudson. It was so hot last week that I put him in his Bumbo in front of the fan. He loved it!

Wedding Planning

This past week Hudson and went to Spokane to help Melissa with the plans for the wedding. We had such a wonderful trip. Melissa's parents were able to come up from Texas also. We all went to Priest Lake to check out Elkins Lodge (where the wedding will be) and it's BEAUTIFUL.


After the Ezells returned to Texas Hudson and I spent three more days relaxing in Spokane with grandma and grandpa. I wish that my parents lived closer...but our trips over are so fun!

Uncle Brett and Aunt Melissa

The view from West Seattle

Hudson and Uncle Brett

This weekend my brother and his fiance Melissa came to visit from Houston. We took them to Alki beach and dinner at Salty's. We had a nice dinner and a view of Seattle that Melissa had never seen. Last year when they came to Seattle we took them to Pike Place. We loved having them here and wish that they lived here. Hudson loves his uncle Brett and (almost) aunt Melissa!

Hudson's First Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. Ayer

Our friend's Curt and Wendy got married last night. It was a beautiful night and an amazing ceremony. Hudson was able to attend his first wedding and he did great! He slept until the ceremony began and only "talked" a little during the vows. When the reception began he fell back to sleep while John and I talked with friends and ate. Then he woke up for a little dancing with mommy.

Congrats Wendy and Curt!

Hudson and Brian

Today Hudson's godfather, Brian came over for lunch. Hudson and Brian had a wonderful time being silly and playing together. I was thrilled because Brian brought sushi!

Hudson and Madelyn

Today Hudson and Madelyn had their first official play date. Hudson talked the whole time and Maddy did a lot of sleeping. They are going to be having a lot more play dates in their future and are going to be the best of friends!
