Melanie, Xavier, Hudson and Olive

My little Girl

2008-11-12T10:02:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite pictures of Olive. She is already 7 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time goes. She is such a good baby, and Hudson still loves her!

Happy Halloween

2008-11-02T15:28:00.000-08:00

This year we decided to be the Toy Story Family! I had a hard time finding a Little Bo Peep costume that was not slutty! Emily and Cassandra helped me put something together the night before! Hudson loved trick or treating, he was so cute running up to every door. He was so much fun to take this year!

Lets play a game!

2008-10-16T19:15:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite pics of Hudson! I hope you can all enjoy it and laugh as much as I did!

Olive

2008-10-16T19:05:00.000-07:00

Olive was born on Sept 23, she weighed 7lbs 14 oz. She is so much fun! I love having a girl.

Dede and the Family

2008-09-09T20:31:00.000-07:00

So the only reason I am updating my blog twice in one day is because I caught wind of Xav getting ready to update his blog and what it would be about..... So Emily took Hudson to ride Dede a couple of weeks ago and he hasn't stopped talking about it, so I told him that we would go again soon. So on Sunday Emily called us and asked us if we wanted to go! Hudson was so excited. So we meet Emily and Hudson was so excited and couldn't stop smiling... well then it was Xav turn, I didn't think we went there for us to ride the horse, but as you can see it was a family event. Hudson got on and then Xav, and then I was like "that looks kind of fun maybe I should try". So thats why I am updating my blog, because I just want to say that when I got up there I realized that I was way to fat and pregnant to be riding a horse. So whatever his blog says just know that I know that I shouldn't have got on that horse but I didn't realize it until it was to late.

Juliets Birthday

2008-09-09T20:08:00.000-07:00

We went to Juliets 5th birthday party last Thursday! They had a bounce house, a clown(named Emily) and a balloon maker. I think the boys had a lot of fun.

Hudson's Big Boy Bed

2008-08-13T09:49:00.000-07:00

So Olive is coming in 7 more weeks, so we decided it was time to put Hudson in a big boy bed! Everyone kept telling me how hard it would be but so far it hasn't been to bad. Actually last night was the first night that he came into our bed before 7. My little boy is growing up.

POOL

2008-05-19T13:08:00.000-07:00

I was so excited, the pool is now open at our gym. So I was so excited because it is 90 degrees and beautiful today, so Hudson and I went and Hudson hated it. I hope that it is because he doesn't feel good today, but he wouldn't take his clothes off or get in the water. Anyway he let me lay out on the chair for 20 min while he drank his capri sun. Oh well maybe next time will be better!

Its a GIRL

2008-04-15T20:56:00.000-07:00

So we found out what Hudson was at 15 weeks, so I was 15 week yesterday so Xav has been bugging me to go find out! So tonight we were eating at Olive Garden and it was 8:45 and he wanted to run to the mall right then to find out what it was. We got there with 5 min to spare and 70 dollars later we found out it was a GIRL! We are so excited. Now we have to name her Olive because we went to OLIVE garden the night we found out. ha ha

Bye Bye Binky's

2008-04-03T08:51:00.000-07:00

Monday was a sad sad day for Hudson. Xav and I decided to get rid of Hudsons Binky's. So I took him to lunch and then after lunch we went to ToysRus. I had 3 Binky's, so I told him to pick out three toys and we would trade each one for the Binky's. At the store he thought it was great.......until we got home and he didn't have them anymore. I have felt so bad for him because he gets the sadest look on his face and comes up to me and says "Binky". I think that I am having just as hard of a time because we are done with bottles and now Binkys and my little Hudson is now offically not a baby anymore.

Pregnancy

2008-03-02T11:35:00.001-08:00

So I would like to say that this pregnancy is the same as the last one, but I think it is better. I feel just as sick as I did the last time, but this time I have the support of Hudson! Everytime I go into the bathroom to throw up he follows me in there and watches, and then as soon as I am done, he thinks its his turn! (Maybe sometime I will video tape it because he trys to make the same sounds also) I sometime wonder if the next one could possibly be as precious as my Hudson!

Cookie Cutters

2008-02-29T19:16:00.000-08:00

We decided to finally get Hudson a haircut! We have been letting it grow out alll winter because he throws such a fit when we go, but the time had come. I had no idea how to do it when it was long, and it just always look like a mess. I finally have my cute Hudson back!

Rock Band

2008-02-22T14:58:00.000-08:00

We went to my brothers house for cake and ice cream, and all the kids wanted to play rock band. Hudson loves playing the drums and once he has a hold of the drum sticks its not very easy to get him to let go. Together with me holding one and him holding the other we don't do so well and usually make everyone else fail also..... oh well Hudsons loves it!

Soccer Buddies

2008-02-16T10:11:00.000-08:00

Hudson and Gabe go to soccer buddies every Wednesday. Hudson is the youngest one there so he doesn't always get it, like the picture with them laying on the balloon, here they are suppose to be throwing it in the air and catching it. He is very good at sitting on the dot and kicking the ball. He loves kicking the ball, he puts the ball down and backs up about 15 feet and runs and kicks it. It doesn't matter how far away he is from the ball, he still seems to time it and kick it with his right foot.

We love our Tita

2008-02-07T10:26:00.000-08:00

We watched Gabe the other night while Troy and Emily went to their love and logic class. Tita and Bobo came over to see them! They are watching Thomas the Train Hudsons new favorite show! They love their Tita!

Hudson Birthday Party

2008-01-17T15:38:00.000-08:00

Hudson turned 2 on Jan 11, so on Jan 13 we had his birthday party at the indoor soccer center! It was so much fun. Thanks to my brother Dolan we had a bounce house and a slide. I hope all the cousin had fun!

Our trip to Texas

2007-11-18T12:07:00.000-08:00

We all went to Texas to see Xavi's sister Leyla! We all had a lot of fun, execpt for the plane ride! Taking 4 children on a plane was not very easy. We did lots of fun and kid freindly things while we were there! Here are our pictures at the Zoo!

HALLOWEEN

2007-10-31T19:48:00.000-07:00

Here is our family taking a break from crime fighting to pose for a picture.We picked up Little Red Riding Hood and Dorthy.
This is the second year that Hudson spent Halloween with the Galland primas. This year was a lot more fun because he actually knew what was going on.. Hudson was amazed at the concept of ringing a doorbell and getting candy. It might be a rude awaking the next time he rings a doorbell. He did get a little shy when there were a lot of kids at the door. Thank goodness for Annie because she had no problem pushing her way to the front of the line and getting the candy for herself and Hudson. Julie broke out in a rash with all the peanuts everywhere. But a little medicine and in fifteen minutes she was eating six homemade donuts at a friend's house. She was helped by her father in making it an even bakers dozen between the two of them.

Classic Skating Bounce House

2007-08-24T16:33:00.000-07:00

We went to Classic Skating Bounce house for a Birthday party. I don't think he liked it very much at first. So I decided to go with him to show him how much fun it was!

Then I couldn't get him to leave!

Theres only one Lagoon

2007-08-24T15:37:00.001-07:00

We all went to Lagoon for Troys Coke Lagoon Day! It was our family, Troy, Em and Gabe, Erica and Juliet! The adults only got to ride on two rides, one being the new ride WICKED! We had to take turns watching the kids since Bobo and Tita decided not to go. So it was mine and Xavs turn first, and I wish that I would have taken a picture of Xav's face because as soon as we got to the front of the line Xav started freaking out! He kept telling me that he didn't want to die over and over and over, he was so scared! I couldn't stop laughing!

Gabe was thinking about riding this ride, he never did, he got off right after the picture.

He wasn't to sure if he wan't to be on that horse, but he screamed when I took him off!

Emily and Gabe on PUFF

Say Cheese!

Dirty little boys

2007-07-27T20:54:00.000-07:00

Hudson loves to play outside! His favorite thing to do is to sit in the dirt and eat it. How do you get your kid to stop eating dirt? The other day when Tita was watching Gabe we took Hudsons and Gabes clothes so Emily wouldn't know how dirty we let her son get when we are watching him, and let them go for the gold! (Or I guess you could say dirt) To cover up all evidence Tita gave both boys a bath before Emily came to pick Gabe up! Don't tell Emily!Ha Ha
