Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

Today was such a fun day! Hudson got to go swimming twice today. He just absolutely LOVES water and it doesn't even bother him to get splashed or anything! It's so fun! First I filled up his little pool and mommy stuck her feet in while Hudson played. I tried to get some sun but not sure it worked too well. Then after the afternoon nap we went with Aunt Ashley to a friend of my mom's heated pool! It was 82 degrees and so wonderfully refreshing! I can't wait for my in-laws pool to get that warm, then I have decided to pitch a tent and practically LIVE there!! :0) I really would like to start somet mommy and me swimming classes or something but nothing is really close.

But wearing a bathing suit, now that's a different story! I HATE bathing suits. I feel like if I was a bathing suit designer I would have the cutest bathing suits for "mom" bodies! :0) I have to get a new one and I am dreading it...

The Franklin Graham choir rehearsal was wonderful!! We are singing the most beautiful songs! While I was there, Andy was at Pete's baseball game (which they lost) and Hudson was out with grandma and papa. I guess they went hog wild at toys r' us and spoiled him a little bit. They bought him a wagon which i am super psyched about. He got some jammies and an outfit and a floatation device for the pool! Yay! I heard that he got to go to cracker barrel too! Yum yum! He was fast asleep in his crip by the time I got home. I don't like that because I didn't get to kiss him! I am half tempted to but it will be worse if I wake him! That wouldn't be fun! I better get to bed...it's late! Have a great day!

My how they grow...

Tomorrow Hudson will be 9 months old and it just amazes me how much he has grown since he was born. I always try to take in every moment because I know that it wont last long. It seems like yesterday all he could say was "goo" and he just laid wherever you put him because he couldn't do much else. Now he can say duck, dog (which both sound the same, haha) mama, dada, ball, and even recognize what each object is. He is attempting to stand on his own, usually holding onto something with one hand and letting go and slowly melting like the wicked witch of the west on the Wizard of Oz. Haha! It just amazes me how much their minds are like little sponges soaking up all the world has to offer, but little do they know that this world actually doesn't have much to offer at all. Our real, true fulfillment comes from Christ and meditating on God's word. I just hope that in raising Hudson that he will truly understand that. In fact, I will make that my prayer tonight and I encourage any other parent that is reading to do the same. We just don't realize what kind of world our children have to grow up in so we must rely on the Lord to keep them focused, protected, and true to the Word. It is a big responsibility to be a parent but of course we are not to worry and be anxious for nothing but in all things through prayer and supplication make our requests known to God.

I didn't mean to make this sooo deep today :0) Just got off on a tangent!! I hope that you can understand where I am coming from. Tomorrow is the first rehearsal for the Franklin Graham Choir. I am excited because I haven't sang in a choir in years! Tomorrow is finally Hudson and mommy day...YAY! I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! Bye for now!

P.S. be sure to check out my new link to the "picasa pictures" they are wonderful :0)

The shortest day of my life...

Time flew by today!! I worked 8 hours but it felt like 2 and we got home and ate dinner and here I sit...and it's almost 8:30!! I can't believe it! Hudson is behind me, not bathed yet at all, chasing a balloon around the room! Haha! He is soo easily amused!

Tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day in which I wasn't supposed to work but my boss asked me to. I am not looking forward to sitting in an office all day when it is gorgeous and 80 degrees outside. Maybe I will be able to leave early. I can only hope :0)! I don't really have much else to discuss today, other than I am looking forward to giving my baby a bath, and getting a shower of my own. Then cuddling up to read THE book :0) I think I'd best get started on those tasks now. Hudson just got in trouble for touching daddy's supernintendo (which he is still intrigued about playing) so I better go get him! :0) Have a good day tomorrow everyone!
