Nothing to Say....

So how about just a few pictures instead?

Settling In

Well things have been completely crazy for the past week as we have been trying to get moved.We are almost settled in at mom and dad's. A few more boxes to unpack and things to organize and we will be all set. But we have had lots of other things to keep us busy while trying to get moved too. Warning: lots of pictures to come! It's been a week since I've posted any!

We said "See ya later" to a lot of Stillwater friends (no reason for goodbye, we will be back soon). Rib Crib made this sign for Ryan and our sweet LifeGroup friends had a cookout for us. We were really humbled that people care that much about us, we felt so undeserving.

This is Hudson's LG friend, Ryan. She is so funny, mostly she just walks up and points at him.

Sunday was Mission Roundup at church so we wore our cowboy attire.

There was a portrait backdrop so we took the opportunity for lots of photos our cute cowboy :)

Look at those smiles!

There are better pictures on a friend's camera so I'll share those when I get them.

I think he looks like a doll in this picture.

After church on Sunday we went to meet Braylin. She is 9 weeks old and so long and skinny!

She slept through most of it, but finally woke up at the end and we got to see her eyes.

She is just pure sweetness!

Last night we walked to the high school to honor a fallen soldier from Owasso.

It was amazing to see all the people lining the streets to pay respect as his family was on their way to his memorial service. It really makes you feel proud to be from such a great communtiy that pays tribute to the men and women who give us our freedom. Owasso did a great job of honoring Andrew. Please remember the Looney family in prayer this week. Andrew was only 21 years old, he sacrificed a lot in his young life and we live free because of people like him.

Ryan started his new job somewhere in all this craziness, too. He seems to really like it and is mostly just getting adjusted to the schedule. I can't wait to go visit and see him at work, but since he works so late I'm not sure when that will happen. More on this topic to come, he crashed out this morning when he got home so I didn't get too much out of him about it; just that his first night went well. Tonight is night two, hoping that it goes well and that he is able to stay awake. I can't imagine working nights, it's definitely a big adjustment for all of us. But mostly we are just happy that he is happy and has a good job! I keep getting reminded of how good God is to give us this life and the freedoms we have. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

Weekend at Home

This weekend we went home for Father's Day and for a friend's wedding.

I chopped my hair pretty good right before the rehearsal dinner. It's just too hot for all the thickness and I was getting lazy about fixing it. This should be much easier to deal with and better for this hot summer!

Saturday morning I found these two in my bed watching cartoons!

We also tried out the pool. Hudson doesn't seem to have an opinion one way or another about it. He just hangs out and doesn't say or do much. I guess that's better than hating it.

Josh and Taylor's wedding was super cute and short! Thank goodness because it was definitely hot outside!

We had a great time catching up with friends at the wedding too!

We didn't get to spend much time with Ryan on Father's Day because he had to get back and do his last few shifts at Rib Crib. But we told him how much we appreciate him before he left! We really love him! He is such a good daddy!

We found this cool frog floaty and tried the pool again. Hudson just sat around and relaxed in it!

Isn't he just stylin' in his swim gear?!

We had a great weekend and got some work done too, so that we are ready to get our things set up at mom and dad's until we get the house sold!

Packing and a Play Date

Today some of my awesome friends came over to help me pack! A huge thank you for all of their love and support during this move! I will miss seeing them every school day!

We had a great time chatting, eating pizza, watching the boys play, and packing! I'm so thankful for their help! It would have taken me days to get that kitchen done without them!

'

These boys crack me up when they are together! They sat in their Bumbos ad Hudson chewed on Ayden's blanket and Ayden played with tape from a box and Hudson's toys!

They also played on the floor. Ayden was grabbing all of Hudson's toys (which is no big deal since the boy has enough to share), so apparently Hudson thought it was appropriate to grab Ayden's pillow.

And now my house is filled with these!

I can't wait to get them out of here and unpacked in a new place!

Please pray that we sell this house soon and that we find the perfect new house!

Why I Love Summer

There is nothing like hanging out in the pool with this guy!

5 Months Old

Hudson you are five months old!

Boy how time flies when you are having fun!

Here is a snapshot of your life at 5 months.

You still only eat about 4oz at a time, sometimes 6oz. You eat every 2-3 hours.

You have started eating rice cereal and oatmeal and really like them both. You now eat one of them every night before bedtime. You mostly just want to play with the spoon, but you really seem to enjoy the eating part too. From the way you act with oatmeal I think you will be a big eater, but that doesn't surprise me because mommy and daddy love food too!

You are sleeping in your big boy crib in your own room now!

You are always in bed by 9:30, but sometimes it's as early at 8:30. You are sleeping mostly through the night only get up once for the most part. You aren't completely consistent yet and that's ok. Mom worries about you when you sleep 8 hours straight so it's kind of nice to see you in the middle of the night (once is good though).

You are wearing 3-6 month clothes, but have a few 0-3 things that still fit  (mostly pants, since you have short little legs and a tiny waist)!

You wear size 2 diapers.

You have lost most of your hair except for your little mullet in the back. But it's starting to come back in very slowly. Mommy sure does miss your thick dark brown hair!

You absolutely love bathtime and splashing in the water. You kick and kick and kick some more!

You love to play in your exersaucer. You have figured out how to make it sing to you and like to chew on the toys that you can get to your mouth.

You still do not like being on your tummy, but do like laying on your back to play.

You are working on rolling over, but don't like to go all the way on your belly so you end up hanging out on your side a lot. 

You have figured out how to laugh!  You think it's hilarious when your feet touch your face and when you fly in the air. But if mommy starts laughing you usually laugh with her!

You are working on sitting up and do pretty good at it in your boppy. You love sitting up and standing. When you aren't sitting up you use your arms and try to push yourself up.

You smile ALL the time! That is what I love most about you right now. That smile is so contagious and you just flirt with everyone. You smile for mommy the most, but everyone else can normally get a smile out too. It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. EVER.

You are the biggest joy to daddy and I! We are not one bit proud of you, YA RIGHT!

We love you to pieces and always will. We never knew a guy your size could be our biggest joy on this earth and that we could love you like we do!

And I had to share this picture because it's hilarious...checking out that moose!
