Hudson & daddy in the nursery

Lil Hudson & daddy bonded immediately!!!

Just minutes after his arrival

Nurse Beverly & our little man!

Beverly was an awesome nurse & coach. She was Hudson's nurse & Jer's coach during pre-op.

We could not have been more blessed with a greater staff that day as well as our entire stay Emory Johns Creek. They did a phenomenal job taking care of me and my family.

Thank you God for a happy healthy little boy!

A child is a true miracle from God & we are so thankful that He has blessed us with the opportunity to grow our family!

My little baseball player

Saturday Morning baseball....

Brax has turned into quite the little baseball player.

We are working on his skills and mostly having fun but are hopeful to find a team for him to play on this fall. He thoroughly enjoys going to his cousins baseball games and playing in the yard with dad. He wants to play in a real game, his own game & have everyone come to watch him so bad. Needless to say we can not wait for that time to come!!!

Green Eggs & Ham!!!!

I am Sam I am.....

Today was an awesome day. We all slept in to start the day off & then daddy

had a special treat lined up for he & Brax.

You guessed it GREEN EGGS & HAM!!!!

Brax has really enjoyed this book for the past few days and last night while reading to him daddy had this great idea to make green eggs & ham for breakfast. Brax was all about the green eggs & ham last night and even when Jer was making it this morning but when it came to eat the green stuff Brax was not so sure about it!

However, after daddy & I ate our plates full of the green goo and much bribing, Jer finally got Braxton to try the green eggs & ham and he loved it just like Sam I am!!!!

Braxton took the book literally, he was showing us where Sam says he does not like them. This is why we think that B didn't like them until he tried them as well. It just took Brax a lot longer to finally eat them!

Daddy said they were tasty as Brax intently looks at the green eggs!

Saturday Morning Breakfast menu:

Green Egss & Ham with green milk!

Breakfast compliments of dad!!!!

5 Days & counting.....

The much anticipated arrival of Hudson

is drawing to an end, only five more days left & he will be here!!!

I finally have gotten his room finished with the help

of a wonderful friend, Kim Airhart.

She has such a knack for decorating & does a wonderful job as you will see.

She & I spent an afternoon together last week and knocked out this project.

Take a look at the adorable pillow.

Thank you to great friend Heather for the special gift!

Kim & I had a great time together laughing, sharing ideas, shopping, decorating & just making great memories being silly women without our kids & hubby's.

It's always amazing how real we are with each other in times like this!

Anyhow, enough about us this is supposed to be about Hudson!!!

How about changing the bedding 10 days before he is due. That's what I did and I am ever so thankful for doing so because this looks great and the other stuff I had was cute but just didn't do it for me. Hudson's room is themed stars & airplanes and is perfect!!

Nanny gave him this cool airplane bank and the blocks were Braxton's

How neat to have his initials on the blocks.

Simple things like this I would have never thought of but are extremely cute!!

The teddy bear was given to Brax from our good friends the Russel's & my kind hearted son gave not only this bear but all his stuffed animals to his little brother, even Iggy his iguana which he has slept with for the past year and half. The adorable pilots hat is from Kim. How stinking cute!!!

Hudson's dresser & hutch are filled with many cute trinkets that were given to him from special people who already love him so much. One in particular is an old time Chicago Bears airplane which was my papa's (a very sentimental gift) and I am ever grateful to Evelyne for being so thoughtful in her giving! This will always be special to me and I will explain to Hudson just how cool this plane is & who it belonged to. Papa loved the Bears & to have this keepsake is absolutely incredible. I can't wait to share the stories of my papa with Hudson.

The shelving is super cute and the monogrammed blocks really top it off!!

Evelyne or Cookie as Hudson will call her handmade these and man I swear they are adorable.

The stars above the shelving are to hang pictures from. A very trendy way to show off the ones you love the most! I can't wait to use them

Anyhow, 5 days......

Where did the time go? I can not believe I am soon to be a mother of two boys!

WOW!!!! I look forward to seeing our family grow & become a family of four. Hudson already holds a special place in my heart but I know once I get my hands on him &actually look at him for the first time the love I have for Hudson will grow exponentially. I pray that my boys are the best of friends and will walk through life together being each others "go to guy."

A special thanks to Kim for helping me make Hudson's room perfect & thaks to all of you who have helped out along the way. I know many are anxiously awaiting to meet our new little guy. Most importantly thank you God for making this miracle happen and giving Jeremy & I another chance to parent child.

Mothers Day

What a wonderful day it was!!!

Brax made this card and vase which have his finger prints on it as bumbles bees, flowers, caterpillers, & lady bugs. It is absolutely precious!!

We all slept in until 8:20 it was fabulous!!!! Once I awoke to see what time it was I just knew the day was going to be great because I had already received an awesome gift, the whole family slept in!!!! For all of the moms, you know how special that is!!!! When the three of us finally & then headed to church. After church we came home to get our new favorite toy, the jeep, and went to Gran's Grans house for lunch with all of the crew. Finally, we went swimming at Grandma & Grandpa's, what a way to end a wonderful day!

Mothers day is a special day to say thank you to your mom and all the moms in your life for all of the effort they put in to you over the years. A mother is someone special and until you have a child of your own you really do not have a clue what that feeling is nor do you appreciate EVERYTHING that a mom does. With that being said I would like to thank my Mom for always being there for me no matter what & loving me unconditionally. Your wonderful and I could not imagine a better mother!!! I love you sooooo much!!! I would also like to thank Joan, Evelyne, Granny, my Nanny & all of the my wonderful Aunts for being such an inspiration to me over the years. Ladies it is you who I learn from and strive to be just half the mother you all have been to me & your children. You all hold a special place in my heart and I love each & everyone of you more than words could ever express!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful Mothers!!!!

Celebrating Easter!!!

Easter 2011

Let me start by saying this Easter was quite fun & different!!! Brax got the Easter Bunny but he did not like him, however he did thoroughly enjoy making his bunny face which you see the both of us doing above. Brax is more smiling in this one but I was making my bunny face and I think that's what got B to make such an adorable smile!!!

Look at these two cuties!!!

MAN I HAVE SOME GOOD LOOKING GUYS IN MY FAMILY!!!!

We started off celebrating Easter at Nanny & Papa's house Saturday with all of the family. We had really good food and got to watch Lane & Brax hunt eggs & open their Easter beach bags all the while Easton ( Lane's little bro who is 3 months old) is just sleeping or possibly thinking what in the world are these people doing!!

Lane & Brax after the racked up on the egg hunt ( the Easter bunny fills his eggs with money at Nanny's house & I mean jack, I kind of wish I was a kid again) are patiently waiting on Nanny to bring their gifts from the Easter Bunny!

Aren't they precious!

Look at the bucket and all of the eggs are filled with "ooohh moneey""" both boys would say when they opened each one.

Here is Brax Easter morning. Like I stated earlier he wasn't too sure about the bunny coming to his house so he & Hudson's Easter baskets had to be left on the front porch. It was so funny to see Brax look for & finally see his goodies. He was literally peeking through the windows and side glass of the front door when he stumbled across his stuff. He said "dad, he did come. The Easter bunny came and left my stuff on the porch." Priceless I tell you!!!

Now here is the different part of this Easter I was talking about. Just look at these fab 4...

DOES ANYTHING LOOK STRANGE TO YOU??????

Pictured above is Grandma, Nanny, Aunt Fay, & cousin Amanda all with their homemade Easter bonnets on. Carly, our niece had this wonderful idea to have all the woman make a bonnett and have a contest to see whose was the best. This spectacle was quite hysterical. Everyone who made a bonnet had to line up and walk the red carpet to show their bonnets to the judges. Grandma was doing her gun prance, Nanny was well I really do not know what you call her moves, Fay did her little Jig and Amanda of course strutted her Victoria Secret catwalk parade for everyone. WOW, is all I can say. I swear as the years go by it gets crazier & crazier!!!

Finally , the egg hunt at Granny's. Do the kids look ready to you?

Fay has this tradition to line the kids up to sing & dance their way out of Granny's garage before the great escape to the yard to find as many eggs as they can. Most of them just take off running once they make a few steps! The kids really love it they just have to act like they do not because some of them are getting older and too cool for that kind of stuff!!

What a cute bunch. Here are Will, Grace, Trey, & Brax all enjoying their findings from the egg hunt. Too sweet!!!

Overall Easter was awesome this year and I thank God for the real meaning of this holiday,

The CROSS & it's powerful meaning!!!!

Thank you LORD!!!
