Houston Pics

Last week, my mother-in-law and I went to Houston to visit Darrin's sister and her kiddoes.

We had lots of fun and Hudson got to play with his cousins! They hadn't seen him since he was a few weeks old, so he'd grown a little bit!

It starts early

Hudson loves Daddy's tools.

Playdate

Last week, we had a playdate with my friend, Jessica, and her two boys, Cooper and Jackson.

It was great to get out of the house and hang out with friends! Hudson had fun playing with the boys and I got to have mommy talk with another adult (always a plus for a stay-at-home-mom!). It's always good to get advice, too! I didn't get a picture of Cooper, but he's 3, so it was nice to talk about potty-training and time-outs and all of the other things I have to look forward to! Thanks, Jessica!

Hudson is obsessed with our DVD player/sound system. Obsessed, I tell you.

This, and remote controls....and Morgan's water bowl. Still.

Anyway, life is good, although EXTREMELY hot and humid down here. We used to occupy much of our day outside on the front lawn, in his swing in the backyard, on the hammock, and in our wagon. Lately, it's been too hot to go outside for momma.

We have a playdate with my friend, Jessica, and her two boys today, so looking forward to that!

Tomorrow, a cook-out. Thursday, I'm going to the end-of-year dinner at Huffines (the MS where I'll be teaching next year). I'm super excited to meet all the other teachers! Busy week!

Then my mother-in-law Katie will be here Sunday and Hudson and I will go with her to Houston to visit Darrin's sister (Mel) and her kids. Darrin can't come with us because he's got to make the big bucks and teach at the TCU Band Camp!

Bowling!

Had a lot of fun bowling this weekend! I have to admit, turning 30 was little harder than I thought it would be....it really didn't hit me until the night before my birthday that I would never again be "twenty-something"....oh well. I'm trying to age gracefully.

Playing with Grandma

Forgot to post this from when Grandma was here!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend! Went and saw a movie - which is more of a rarity these days! Went to a friend's retirement party on Saturday, BBQ on Sunday and then went to the Baxter's yesterday. Hung out at Peggy's pool with Gloria yesterday afternoon...I'm a little sunburned. Hudson isn't quite sure what to think of the pool yet....I need to get him in swim lessons so that he's ready for the summer! Darrin's back at work today and I'm bringing Hudson to one of the childcare centers I liked to check it out for a half day....gotta ease into this. I'm already very emotional about the childcare aspect of me going back to work. I still know that I made the right decision. I absolutely miss teaching and I think I will be a better mother having that outlet....but it kills me that he'll be with someone else all day. I'm sure it will be harder on me than him....we'll see.
