MONSTER MASH!

To start the halloween spirit off, for family night we went to Judy and Jonns to carve some pumpkins with family and friends. We had such a good time listening to Halloween music and eating delicious pumpkin cookies. The above picture is Hudson crying at the insides of a pumpkin that Tim pulled out, Hudson deffinitely has his mother's feelings when it comes to gross stuff.

Jonny is feeling the spirit of the pumpkin to know its true jack-o-lantern potential.

This is the cutest picture of Todd and his super cute girlfriend Alexis and our big cheeser Hudson.

What is Jason so diligently carving?(by the way ladies he is single!)The one and only Popeye the Sailor Man, toot toot! He seriously carved that.

When Hudson discover that he could blow out the candles in the pumpkins he became a little obsessed about it and blew them all out again and again.

Summers end :(

I can't believe that summer is over for us. We have had such a fun summer with family and friends, so it makes me really sad to see it end and not to mention get cold again. Tim starts school tomorrow! Might I add this will be his last year at UVU! It's back to books, tests, and single parenting! (sometimes it feels that way) I realize that I am not the best at posting current activities in our lives, so I will be looking back at some of the highlights of the summer.

To start the summer off our baby boy, Hudson, turned 1!! I still can't believe how fast this last year went. We measured him so we can chart his growth with all the other grandkids.

We were able to go to Kanab for the 4th of July. I haven't been home for it since before my mission so I was reallly excited! We also had my moms whole family come up from Arizona to visit. So you can just imagine all the fun we had with a full house!
My Grandparents were so happy that most of their children and grandchildren were all here together. They had the sweetest smiles on their faces the whole weekend.

Tim's work gave us free tickets to the zoo. We invited his sister Kim and her kids, our cute neighbor kids Rachel and Parker, and of course, grandma Juju and Jonny. It was a lot of fun and the animals were so funny.

And last but not least we went to Bear Lake for the Claybaugh Family vacation! We only took a few pictures of Hudson so I will post more pictures later.

John Mayer Concert

On Monday night Lacey Jean hooked us up with tickets to John Mayer at the USANA Ampitheatre. It's an outdoor theater and most of it is grass so we brought our blankets and relaxed (and danced) the night away! It was so much fun! We sat pretty far in the back so Jennie and I decided we needed to get a closer look. We became friends with a few guards and were able to get pretty close. John Mayer would say the weirdest things when he wasn't singing, but over all it was a great concert. Thanks Lacey for the fun night out!

My friend Katy happened to be at the concert, so while Jennie and I were out we met up with her. She had great tickets in the seated area. You can see John on Jennie's shoulder.

Ok, so Hudson loves the camera so we obviously take lots of pictures of him. I hope these pictures make you laugh! This first one is with grandpa Lex (chief Moqui) at the cave and cousin Chamberlain. I don't know what face my dad is making here.

He was being so funny the way he was eating his mac and cheese, so I grabbed the camera and, of course, he had to put the bowl down the bowl and give the camera a big smile.

His first big bump on the head from learning how to walk, he's almost 100% walking, but he still has little falls every once in a while and this time he hit the middle of his forehead on the leg of the table.
Tim sat Hudson down in his highchair and then he turned around to clean the tray and when he turned back around to put the tray on Hudson was sitting like this in the chair. What a funny boy!
Finally, this last one was when we were driving home from grandma juju's house and Tim and I turned around and this is how he was sitting in his carseat.

Hudson's 1 Year Pictures!!

They finally arrived!! We got these pictures taken for Hudson's first birthday and we really are lovin them! Tim's friend, Jen, from work owns a photography business and we had her do them down at the Riverwoods Condos. Here are a few (ok a lot) of our favorite ones!

I love this picture of my boys. It was one of those practice, random, test type pictures and it is one of my favorites!

This is Tim's favorite picture. Hudson was totally cheesin it up on his own. He is the funniest kid around a camera.

Hudson's First Birthday

Hudson's 1st birthday was on June 11th. I know that this is way late but hey I'm still new at this, and besides, I was waiting to get his birthday portraits back to post them but that is taking longer than I thought, so here are a few of his special day. Hudson was such a trooper running around with mom doing who knows what that day so he didn't get the full nap that he needed, so in most of the pictures he is making a funny face! We had a bbq at grandma Juju's, opened presents, and, of course, had some delicious cake. I can't believe he is 1! I love him so much and can't wait for more birthdays!

I was really excited for Hudson to dig into his cake and get it all over, but as you can see he touched the candle. OUCH! He burnt his little fingers and for the rest of the night he would scream if the cake was near him.

Tim wanted to make Hudson's cake, so I let him although I was a little worried that it wouldn't turn out, but he suprised me with this "artistic"(as he put it) sail boat! He ended up doing a great job! Thank you babe!
