Lazy Summer Day !

Hudson loves to be outside and to also play in the water, so If we don't go over to my parents to swim then we get out Hudson's little frog pool. It isn't very big but he still thinks that it is fun to sit in and play.

And there is Kennedy enjoying the sun and reading a book, while listening to her i-pod. I wonder if she knows what she just read because of the music playing in her ears ?

1st time fishing

Well if anyone knows Kevin .... they know that he LOVES to go fishing, and so does my Dad,so he took Hudson, Kevin , David & Cru to the fish farm in Ogden. For Cru's b-day we gave him a fishing pole so he is always asking grandpa to take him fishing ( His Dad is not a fisherman !!! ) The little boys had alot of fun catching the fish and I know that Grandpa enjoyed taking his little buddies with him. I know that this is just the start of them going fishing together, I will soon be packing lunches for Hudson, Kevin & my Dad for for their long all day fishing trips. I am glad that is something that they can go and do together. Grandpa helping his little buddies.

"Dad I think that we got one "

Yeah..... we did.

( Hudson's first fish )

Cru & David

24th of July

We like to go to the "Taste of the Town" in Layton on the 24th, you buy tickets and there are alot of restaurants from around the area that have little servings of their food that you can try . They have a live band and everyone just takes blankets and sits around and enjoys the music and the good food. This was only our second time going , but we think that we will try and go every year. ( We were minus Kennedy.... I can't remember where she was, she doesn't come with us much anymore... always has something going on with friends, we missed ya not being with us :) )

After we were at the park we stopped over to my parents and stayed to watch some fireworks with my sister, David ,Cru and my parents.


My Dad was NOT being so smart and lighting the fireworks so close to him.... but it made us all laugh how "DUMB " he was being.


Hudson was not quite sure about the sparklers.

Little Mr. Mess Maker

Well ANOTHER thing that Hudson figured out how to do. Take toilet paper dunk it into the toilet then take it and throw it ALL over the bathroom. He got the shower curtain, floor, mirror and wall. I just hope that someday he takes all of his energy and does something great with it . Good thing that you are cute little boy :)

Hudson & I on vacation

At the end of July Hudson & I took a little trip to see my cousin Nikki in Oregon. She had been wanting us to come and stay with her and her 3 boy's. Kevin couldn't leave because of work and Kennedy had things going on so it was just us two. Things were going good and when we were getting onto the plane a lady said that we could sit by her ( I bet she was thinking that wasn't such a good idea after the fact ) , Hudson was just wanting to look out the window and she was sitting by it so she let him stand by her, well she had pins in her arm and could not move it and that was making me SO nerves that Hud would bump it, she was playing and talking to him and then all of the sudden he bent down and started to bite her knee ( he had just started the biting thing ) so I grabed him and said to say sorry , this first picture was the look he gave me after I got upset with him for doing that. She was really nice about the whole thing , but I was just praying that he would be good the rest of the time. And he was till we switched planes in Reno and they had a problem with a light or something and they kept us on the plane for 1 1/2 hours..... well Hudson is a busy little guy and DOES NOT like to stay in one place for to long, he was crying , throwing toys and not being that easy to handle, well the older people in front of us were not very understanding with my situation and one of Hudson's little dinos ( very soft and light weight ) got thrown up by them and they just gave me the dirtiest look.... but seriously what was I suppose to do. And to just really top things off the flight attendant came by and said " so what can we do for him " and her tone was not very nice, and I was thinking freak let me off the plane !!!!!!! So we FINALLY left Reno and got to Oregon. When my cousin saw me she had know that I had not had a good flight so her and her son Carson took over and was playing with Hudson while we were waiting for my luggage. Thanks Nikki & Carson !!!!

We got to their house and got all settled in. That picture is of Hudson & Carson watching one of Huds shows and trying to unwind so that he could go to sleep.

One of the days Nikki took me for a drive to some fun places and the one thing that I wanted to see was Roloff Farm, so we got to it and a sign said that they were closed for the season, but we wanted to see so we drove in a little ways and there was another sign that said to please respect their privacy.... well neither of us are very brave so we turned around and left.... wish that we could have been a little braver and drove further .... oh well maybe next time. I called Kennedy when i was by the farm and she started crying because she wanted to be able to go there, it was funny.

One day we got a babysitter for the boys and Nikki and I went and had lunch out side , went and got a pedicure and went to a fun little bakery to get a cookie.... YUM. My Aunt Sharon , Nikki's mom lives up in Mount Hood in Oregon, so one day we went to see her and her new house. It is really nice up where she lives. We had a good time ,went to lunch and shopped at a little boutique by the restaurant. These pictures are in front of my Aunts house and those are their dogs, the black one is huge, but so gentle, Hudson loved him. Nikki THANKS for letting Hudson and I come and stay with you, we had a really good time. Oh one other thing, Carson has a little hamster named Violet.... well Hudson would go into Carson's room and let Violet out of the cadge. I don't like things like that so when I would see her out I would have to yell for Carson to come and put her away. Well the day that we were leaving Hudson was being really quiet so I went to check on him and he was standing on Carson's bed , holding the hamster by the fur, so I was yelling for Carson and telling Hudson to put her down..... so he threw her onto the floor.... poor little violet, but Nikki told me later that she was fine. Sorry for that

OH NO NOT AGAIN !!!!!!

Well Hudson is a VERY busy little boy. He is always looking for things to get into. On this day i was getting ready to go to Oregon to visit my cousin, so i had things sitting on by bedroom floor and Hudson decides that he would take a look at it all. He found my BRAND NEW Mac lipstick and dug in it and put it all over his face, and then I guess that he had to finish the look by putting on my bracelets. So I cleaned it all up , but the lipstick in my purse and went to finish getting things ready...... well he went and got it out of my purse and did it AGAIN . Oh my gosh !!!!! He thought that the whole thing was very funny and just kept on laughing. Oh his Dad id so proud, ha ha !!!!!

" Hey not to bad !!!!! "

Summer Fun part 2

We love to go swimming at my parents, both of the kids are lie fish. We always take snacks and just hang out at the pool for hours. My Dad is retired and every day is wondering if any of us kids are coming over to swim.... he gets so excited to have the grand kids over to swim. Thanks Dad & Mom for doing all you do so that we can enjoy ourselves.

Bridger, Abbey , Berkley , Brielle , Branson , Baylor ,Alex , Hudson & Kennedy

Hudson being brave and wanting Kennedy to keep catching him, he kept saying "D" (that is what he calls Kennedy ) so that she would keep catching him and she would even some times let him go under the water and he would come up with a huge grin on his face and want to go again.

Our Eternal Family

On July 11, 2009 our Family was sealed for time and all Eternity in the Bountiful Ut. Temple. It was such an amazing day for all of us. We had so many Family and Friends there to support us. On June 6,2009 I went and took out my Endowments with my Sister-in-Law in Bountiful, my sister Natalie helped me get every thing that I would need for that day. I am so very thankful that I have a sister that has been through the Temple so she could be there for me and to support me in going to the temple. The feeling that I have knowing that I will be with my family for Eternity is such a comfort to me, it is something that I have wanted for so long, I am also very blessed to have found Kevin and for him to have the same goals. I had so much love and support from so many of my friends, and we were hoping that Kennedy would be able to be with us on that day to be sealed to us and all of the prayers were answered, the power of prayer is a very strong one and I believe in it so much so thanks for the fasting and praying you all did for us. Again I am so thankful to all of my friends that were there to support us, Tonie Searl, Cynthia & Larry Richins, Mike & Aimee Broadbent, Chris & Kelly Ward, Kim & Hal Roe, Bishop Gertch, Bishop Chugg & Molly, Kayla Decker, Brandee Davies, DeeDee Oberhansley, Bob & Shiloh Willy, Dale Dabb,Rich & Natalie Slater, John & Leslie Ballentine, Becky Freeman,Richard Chapple. our family that was there was Natalie & Jason Harrop, Trisha & Mike Harris, Mom& Dad Sanders, Todd & Tisha Sanders, Megon & Patrick Fought, Lynette Dalton. My Mom & Brandon were also there. Thank you so very much to all of those who were there for us and being apart of a very special day for our family.

After the Temple we went to Rosters in Layton to eat.
