Destin



This is great because it captures the face that Major makes often.  There it is, if you're wondering.

Hudson and Major

Ocean Admirer 

Not the best, but we try.

Hudson and his starburst that I'm not sure he earned, if I judge based on his performance in these pictures.

Swimming with Champ.

This helicopter was so fun for Hudson.  Jarred bought it and shared it with him.  Thanks Uncle Jarred.

Water Fun

Hello People!

Love um


My sisters, I love you!  My Major, My Twin



Loved my time with Hudson.  I buried him and he said, "Nigh, Night."

WEEEEEEEEEE!

Really Champ?  Just glad I caught the pinnacle of the throw.

We were surprised by the waves.  Love the laugh that Hudson gave from the surprise.

Can I play?

Sup?

Build a sandcastle and Hudson will stomp it.

Major's 1st Birthday

Hudson stepped on Major's birthday cake.

I think he noticed.

Me and the birthday boy



Loving Elmo

Presents


Diving into his cake.


Smuckers Uncrutables, love them, however, that plus the cake, and Stephen and I both felt yucky on the way home.

Checking out Port O'Connor



Birthday Boy gets his big boy chair






Happy Birthday to you!

I love this boy!  Can't believe he's a year old!  My heart overflows and I'm so blessed.  We moved to Victoria when Major was 10 months old.  It was hard to be away from friends and family for his birthday, but we made the most of it.  We really had an amazing time with him on his special day.  We ventured out to Port O'Connor and realized it's only 45 minutes away.  I was skeptiacal at first but it really is a great little beach, for a day trip.  Fourty-five minutes to a cute little beach, so we'll be back.

Love you my sweet Major!  You are precious and I will snuggle you as long as you let me.

Champ and RayRay

RayRay and Hudson enjoying some ice cream.


Major at Chuck E. Cheese, riding some random contraption.  The no-fear stage is awesome.

Love this picture of Champ and Major.

Bungalow Days (temporary Victoria Home)


So these are TERRIBLE pictures, BUT... Hudson  is with his class, singing, and at this point in the program he chose to stand up (everyone else is seated) and pick his nose.  It didn't last too long, but I was about to stand up and give him the look.

Singing his heart out!

The amount of art work he brought home from PDS was unbelievable.  This is a miniscule portion and I tried to select things that actually looked like he did at least part of them.

Visiting Conner and Emily and going to Conner's Little League game!

Hudson is a big Conner fan!  "GO CONNER!"

Painting... I try.  It lasts for about as long as it took me to take this picture.

Major getting his bath and giving mama a smile.

Love after bath time.  One of the cutest times ever, if you ask me.

Easter
Showing off their eggs.

Such a little hunter... so serious.

Major and Dada.

My Boys!!!

Love, So Sweet




Homemade blueberry pancakes, yummy.  Can't remember why Hudson is in the baby chair or why his shirt is soaked.  He's having fun though!

Major's stash

Easter treats

Hudson's Easter egg hunt at school (Presbyterian Day School).  He's the one in the green shirt.

Hudson in front of the car port (I guess that's what it was).  We used it as a huge canvas for our chalk art.  It was perfect for that and an occasional lunch outside.

I'm making Major stand up.  This was a couple of months ago.  He'll stand up for me now.

St. Patrick's Day - Bought the shirts before I knew we would move so we wore them even though we knew no one.  I think this cat was the only one to witness my effort.



This is the room we played in, hung-out in, watched TV in.  You  name it, it probably happened in this little space.



Grammy with Major ( a couple of months ago).  Ann has been so helpful during our transition to Victoria.  She has helped with the boys a ton and she has helped with the remodeling so much.  We could not have done it without here.

Victoria Has a Zoo



The first Saturday after moving to Victoria we went to the zoo.  I told my dad over the phone and he said, "Hudson, did you see the elephant?"  I said, "No elephant Dad."  Dad asked, "Did you see the giraffe?"  I said, "No giraffe either!"  There's a tiger, so that is our main focus.  But honestly, it's feeding the goats, birds and fish that keeps us coming back for more.

Bye Bye


This was our last moment in Spring, Texas.  We jumped in the car and moved to Victoria, Texas.
