Carrots!!!!!

Today was a first for both Hudson & I.

He ate carrots which I made and this was

my first go at homemade baby food.

I am going to try to make all of Hudson's baby food.

We started this past weekend with bananas. He took really well to those & now

we are moving on to carrots, the first thing I have had to cook.

Looks as if they turned out pretty good!!!!

I boiled a bag of whole carrots then mashed them up & placed what you see in the bowl

and the rest in cute little storage containers. It was both different & fun!

Different: because I fed Braxton store bought food. Another reason it was different is worry factor of "did I do it right?" How hard could it be, well that's what I thought to until I began reading info on making baby food. I learned that carrots are filled with Nitrates that are harmful to infants. I learned that you must NOT use the water you cooked the carrots in that you must use clean water or formula to make them the right consistency to eat.

Fun: because it's something new for me and I am interested in making Hudson a diverse eater from the start! It's also much healthier & more cost efficient!

I am not sure what that face is....

It looks as if he may not like them but he ate the entire bowl

so I am pretty sure he likes carrots at least for now.

I am eager to learn more about making baby food and more so interested in feeding Hudson things you can't get from store bought food. I will keep you posted on how it's going and what's next on the little man's menu!!!!

Joshua Ryan &

Joshua Hudson

Look at these two characters.

Josh & Hudson are hanging out together and this is actually the first time that Josh held the boy that's named after him. I think they go together pretty well!!!

Too Cute!!!

How cute am I?

Hudson is chilling is his new chair.

This little guy is such a happy baby and might I add a really cute one too!!

I can not believe three months has already past. It has been so wonderful to see Hudson grow and become his own little self. He's got a great personality and he's fun to be around. Hudson is giggling & rolling over from both his belly to his stomach and his tummy to his back. We really enjoy cheering him on while he rolls all over the place!

My first day of school 2011

Braxton's first day of school!!!

Just look at this big guy, he's ready for his big day in his new class, the three year old room with Mrs. Julie & Mrs. Kathie! This year was much different than the past two due to Brax being completely ready to go to school. There was no hesitancy at all to be on his way.

He even picked out his clothes, "mom I need to ware gym shorts & my football jersey" who could argue with that!! It wasn't my first choice but you learn to let them have Independence and certainly to pick & choose battles!

We are very blessed to have the opportunity to send Brax to Creekside Christian Academy now for the third year. We are pleased with his teachers and love the fact that Brax LOVES school, his friends, and his teachers.

Its cooking time!!!!

Braxton really enjoys cooking!!!!

We were hanging out at Nanny's one day & Brax decided he wanted to

help Brooke make a dirt cake. So the fun began!

Check out Nanny & Brooke's facial expressions!!!

Everything started out great, Brax was using the mixer and then......

Well as you can see, there was more tasting going on than cooking!!!!

Just one more bite, it's sooo yummy!!!

At the end of the day there actually was a cake, Brax did not eat all!

Judging by these pictures the cake was great & everyone had a fantastic time!

Fun pics from summer vacation!!!!

Girls Just wanna have fun!!!!!!!!

Hudson is so sweet!!!

Will is one cool dude!!

Jer is trying to ring the hole with Brax!!!

A serious conversation is taking place between Karen & B on the streets of Apalachicola!

Having fun looking at the boats on the river!

St George Island 2011

Our annual family vacation was yet again a blast.

Grandma & Grandpa took all of us to St. George Island once again.

We all had a great time doing a few different things but mostly just chilling!!

This was, of course Hudson's first experience at the beach

and as you will see his feelings were pretty neutral.

Family photo night was a hit with Brax! He loved showing off for the camera!

He's such a Ham!!!!

Life is too hard for this little guy!!

Sweatshirt, Really?

Brax had to get a sweatshirt & wear it even though it was a

100 degrees because that's what the big kids were doing!

Diggin in the sand!

He loved playing in the sand and making sandcastles, well he actually called them towers.

We used solo cups to make the towers!

Daddy & Hudson enjoying the morning on the back deck!

Aren't they precious!?!?

I only wish I knew what they were both thinking and the conversation they were having....

Go, B Go!!

Man, that's a BIG ocean

Braxton contemplating to run or come back & hang out!

Oh it looks like they are planning something....

I wonder what it could be?

Life is just way too HARD!!!!

How stinking sweet are Reed & Hudson!!!

They are so gorgeous!

The boys chillin at the pool!

"Really Mom, c'mon another picture...."

It looks as if both of them are thinking that!

The gang looking at the fish that Jeremy & Jason caught.

Me & my boys!!!

Hudson really knows how to relax!

WOOHOA!!!

Hanging out at the beach!

Not sure if they are both exhausted or having some serious thinking time together!

Not sure if my mom is of another decent or am I just that white,

thinks Hudson!

Hudson is looking intently at something, who knows what it is!

One of the afternoon activities were feeding the birds!

One would not think this was very much fun but the Glaze family always takes things to the next level. We were not only feeding them we were making them run into each other and even worse run into the house. I know its bad but man it sure made for some real good laughs!

On the boardwalk!

Brax is saying "hey, let me hold Hudson Reed!"

We all had so much fun this year. The weather was great and the kids behaved and we just really enjoyed everyone's company. Thank you Gma & Gpa for a great week at the beach!
