Happy Birthday Hudson
On July 13th my blue eyed Huddy turned 4. What a blessing he has been in my life the last 4 years. Ive learned a lot about myself being Hudson's mom...mostly that I'm a sucker for those beautiful eyes of his! Unfortunately I woke up the morning of his birthday with the flu and didn't really get to spend much of the day with him. I crawled out of bed that evening when the party began and sat on the couch watching my little guy beam while opening his presents. We had a spider man birthday party because for some reason he loves spider man....weird since he had never seen an episode until I got a DVD for him to watch just a few weeks ago! We had to cancel on most of the guest list since I was ill but we had the extended family around so it was less work for me but still fun for Huddy! Good thing my mom was here or we may have had to post pone the party another week! On the morning of his big day he came in to say hi. I told him Happy Birthday and that I couldn't believe he was finally 4. He turned to me and said "I'm not 3 any more? (long pause....fist pump) "YES!" I love the things little kids say! Hudson Eli Hughes you are my sweet sweet boy! I love you with all my heart and I will always be thankful to the Lord for the gift you are to me. You have grown up so fast and yet I love that you still want your mommy around. I love tickling you and hearing your laugh most of all. It always makes me laugh and sometimes makes me want to cry because I know that one day your laugh wont be so childlike. I love how you randomly tell me you love me at least 10 times a day... (like when your on the potty, getting buckled in the car, playing computer.....and so on). And I love telling you stories before bed and watching your face as you anticipate what's going to happen. I pray little Huddy that you would one day grow up to be a man of God and that you would serve Him with your whole heart. I love you baby.
Love,
Mama

Boondocks
Jax beat both me and Jay! I thought I had longer to be good at stuff!
Hudson actually got a whole in 1! Way to go Hud!

We carried our competitiveness to the arcade and raced each other on the race car game! Ty and Mommy won! (but who's counting?) Posted by Heather at 10:06 PM 1 comments Links to this post

Playin with the boys
Its not very often I get to be with just the boys. Well, Thursday, Jay had a meeting and Kenna spent the night at friends so I took the boys to the park and we had a great time playing. We then came home to sit on the front porch swing and eat fudge bars, ride bikes & scooters and to then play basketball once daddy got home. I love seeing all my boys play together! Good times!
Jaxon-being Jaxon
Huddy told me about 20 times that he loved me while we were at the park...maybe we should go to the park more! =)
Ty in the tunnel!

A slumber party for seven year olds
Here are the crazy girls in the pool!
BBQ by the pool
This is my attempt at baking and decorating a cake...I think I'll stick to decorating houses and buy the cake from the bakery!
I had to post this picture for all of you who have been praying for Kenna regarding her confidence in reading. Without anyone asking her to, she opened up the cards her friends had made her and read them out loud in front of everyone! I was SOOOOOOO proud of her and my eyes filled with tears! That was a HUGE step for her. Praise the Lord!
My bitty girl isn't so bitty anymore...sniff, sniff. We've been teasing her since she was three that we didn't want her to grow up anymore, that we wanted her to stay right where she was...now its just heart wrenching to watch her grow so fast!
Kenna picked out these extra long candles...Cooooooool
Grace, Bethany, Sarah, Avery & Emma all holding up the gifts they got Kenna.
I thought this was so cute! All these little sweeties lined up, popcorn in hand, watching a princess movie of some kind and fully enjoying themselves! It made me think of all the sleep overs that I was so excited to go to, to then call my parents at 11:00 at night cause I wanted to go home! None of these girls did that...I was impressed!
She LOVED every minute of her fun filled day and here's the grin to prove it!

Happy Father's Day
Jay's Father's Day wishes:
- Church with the family
- Eat at Panda Express
- See Kung Fu Panda
- I see a Panda pattern going on!
We had a great day celebrating Jay as daddy. What a wonderful daddy you are honey!
We loved this movie! Here are the Hughes and their Kung Fu poses.
This is after the all you can eat candy and popcorn so Huddy and Ty are a little worn out. But then again, Huddy kind of looks that way in a lot of pictures. =)
I love this picture! Posted by Heather at 5:59 PM 2 comments Links to this post
