My Prayer

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Being reminded of this verse constantly. Everything I do either positively or negatively affects those around me. I pray that I am nothing but encouraging and lifting up others in all that I do; my actions, my words, my life.

10-10 Birthday

Yesterday we went to OKC for the afternoon to celebrate the baby sister's 19th birthday!

 We ended up in Bricktown and decided on Toby Keith's! It wasn't my favorite place to eat, but I guess it's all about the atmosphere right?!

 This is Trent practicing his awesome photography skills! Ha!

 This would be what he was practicing those skills on. If you know anything about my child then you know that this picture is odd. He is asleep in a restaurant when his whole family is around. That can only mean one thing-he's sick. Poor guy had a terrible day, we got to OKC and he had a fever of 101.4.  No need to mention that it was a long terrible day for the little guy.

 She might kill me for this picture, but it cracks me up! I love her personality!

 Here is the terribly sad and sick Hudson (in a blurry picture). He really didn't want anything to do with anyone yesterday. I felt terrible that he had such a bad day on his aunt's birthday. He absolutely adores her, but didn't act like it one bit yesterday :(

 This is the birthday girl and her boy. She is growing up!

I'm so thankful for each member of my family (even the unofficial ones)! I wouldn't have made it through yesterday without them. I stayed home with Hudson today and he is on his way to feeling better, but just not there yet. Praying we all get some rest tonight and we have a happier baby tomorrow. There is nothing worse that than little guy being sick.

We love you Abby! Happy 19th Birthday! Sorry it was a little rough for us.

What's Your Fair Favorite?

Today mom, dad, Jon and I took Hudson on his first trip to the Tulsa State Fair. I haven't been to the fair in years, but we had a great time!

We mostly walked around the QT center and looked at all of the exhibits.

This is fondant! How fun is that?

We also ate lots of delicious food like these nachos! Corn dogs, polish sauage, fried pickles, and lemonade were also enjoyed (I'll start eating again next week)!

We visited the famed donut burger stand. Can't imagine that combination of sweet and salty and really am not up for trying.

We also checked out some great artwork by friends and visited the petting zoo. Hudson was so good and loved watching all that was going on. He is very observant, maybe a little nosy. Ha! I don't know where he gets that from ;) He took a little nap on the way home so I know he was worn out! Hopefully with our busy day he will sleep well tonight. He seems to be sleeping a little more consistently, I'm just hoping he keeps it up. Goodnight!

Smiles

Today we replaced our smiles with apple smiles :)

I hope you made someone's day by showing those pearly whites!

Library

Hudson had his first trip to the public library today.

(I'm not sure why this picture turned out so blurry!)

Hudson was so good, except when he decided he wanted to talk and he talks VERY LOUD! So we grabbed the books we already had and left! We'll have to work on that part :)

Happy Reading!

Grateful

I just have to say that I am so grateful and feel so blessed to be surrounded by the awesome family and friends that I have. We had a great weekend just relaxing with family and being together and I just love that. I am so thankful for the life God has blessed me with, the people he puts in it and the work that I do. Thank you Lord for providing my EVERY need. I am undeserving.

This little boy is evidence of that.

Have a blessed week!

Baby Friends

I'm so excited because mommy told me that I have a new friend and a new cousin to play with! Welcome to the world Emily and Braxton! We can't wait to meet you!
