The Best Two Years

Two years ago today, Torrey and I were tying the knot! Forever!! I can't believe how fast time flies. So much has happened over the last 2 years. This past March we welcomed our first little kiddo named Hudson into our family. He is the apple of our eye and I can't imagine life without him. I also can't imagine life without Torrey. He truly is my best friend and I love him more and more each day.

Thank you for everything you do for Hudson and I and for working so hard for our family. Thank you for making us laugh and for reminding us what life is all about. You are the best husband and daddy a girl could ask for. I love you Torrey. Happy 2 years!!

all GROWED up!!

I gave Hudson his very first haircut last Friday. It was definitely a work in progress that practically took the whole day to complete. It was kinda scary too, so I am pretty sure that I am not going to attempt it again without some help. I am a little sad because I think he looks so much older, but I think he looks absolutely adorable!! Oh how I love this little man.

Man's best friend

Our dog Marley absolutely loves Hudson! She is always so concerned with where he is and what he is doing. When he is in the swing, she has to go over and make sure he is okay. When he sneezes, she runs over to sniff his face and make sure everything is alright. When he was first born I was burping him and I think she thought I was hurting him because she started growling and barking at me until I stopped. She obviously got over that real quick. It can actually get kind of annoying sometimes because when I am holding him, she follows me around and watches my every move. I have tripped over her many times. Every night when I give Hudson a bath, Marley comes in and sits right next to me and stares over the tub to keep watch over him. The other day Hudson was laying on the floor playing and Marley came over and laid down right next to him. It was so cute! Hudson managed to grab a fist-full of Marley's hair right between her eyes and pulled pretty hard. Marley could have cared less. (I was right there to supervise, of course.) I have a feeling they are going to be best buds :)

Trip to Utah

Last month we had the chance to go to Utah to visit Torrey's family. We packed up the car and made the 10 hour drive (which turned out to be more like a 12-14 hour drive) with Hudson and our dog, Marley. They were both so good in the car, I can not complain and Torrey and I had so much fun just chatting and singing to the music! We had so much fun just relaxing and hanging out with everyone!! The weather was absolutely wonderful too! While we were there Torrey's sister, Desi, took some pictures of Hudson. They turned out aMaZiNg so I wanted to share a few (ok, more than a "few", sorry I couldn't resist)...

Here are a few pics from the family BBQ that we had while we were there... I love the expression on Hudson's face in the first one! Soooo cute!!!

Hudson at 3 months...

Our little guy is 3 months old today!!! I can't believe how time flies. Here are some of his 3 month stats... (warning: this may be quite boring for anyone other than me, but I want to remember these things so please bare with me)

- at his last check up he was in the 85th percentile for height and the 50th percentile for weight

-the last time he was weighed he was 13lbs

-everyone comments on how long he is

-most people can't believe how much hair he has!

-he has the longest eyelashes (seriously, boys always get the long eyelashes...rude)

-he is still in 0-3 month clothes, although he is about ready to outgrow the length

-he smiles a lot!!! we are also starting to get an occasional laugh out of him (so stinkin cute!)

-he likes his swing

-he loves his mobile

-he has recently started watching little einstein dvd's and he loves them

-he also loves watching mickey mouse (disney channel)

-he "talks" a lot, which I can't get enough of

-he can roll from his stomach to his back

-when he is tired he loves to be cuddled with a soft, fluffy blanket...works like a charm!

-he rubs is ear or sucks on the back of his little fist when he is tired (don't worry, I already have been to urgent care with him because I thought he might have an ear infection, but they said both ears look great! oh well, better safe than sorry!)

-he has mastered the "pout face".....and it's so darn cute!

-he sometimes has issues with gas, but nothing that a good burp or blowout won't fix :)

-he is sleeping well (cross your fingers, please). the past week he has slept from about 9:45pm to 5am!!! hallelujah!!!

-and, he LOVES his mamma!! --not to toot my own horn or anything ;)

The past 3 months have been amazing, I am so in love!! We are so grateful to have Hudson as part of our family. He melts my heart everyday.

This is his new thing.....he puts his little fists out in front of him, moves them around like crazy, and stares at them as if he is in awe of his hands. So adorable!

Torrey's Graduation

Torrey graduated from ASU on May 14th!!! I am so proud of all his hard work and dedication! Torrey's family came in town and we spent the week just relaxing and hanging out together. It was so much fun having them here!
