New Project In Progress

A lovely young woman that I know has started a project and it has inspired me to do it as well. She is currently working on writing 30 posts that contain details her children should know about her one day. She got the idea from one of her friends, and I am totally taking the idea from her!

Just as she did in her blog, I am going to warn you-the posts are going to be written specifically for Hannah and her soon to be Baby Brother...(Oh that's right...in other news, we are expecting a wee one in Early May/Late April time frame-obviously I am late with the announcement of that bit of news, but what else is new right?) You are more than welcome to read along-who knows, you just might learn something new about me too!
Thanks for hanging in there with me-I know I am horrible on keeping you all updated with the happenings of my life, and maybe one day that will change...I make no promises!

This was my Halloween "costume" which also served as my Announcement to the world of our expected arrival

This was Hans' shirt that she wore to dinner to announce to some of the fam (Only Child Club, member since July 2008, Membership expires May 2013)

This was the other shirt we got for Hans

That's me with one of the Biggest Cheeses I have ever made :)-an added bonus just for you

Make Up Session

It's no secret-I am a slack blogger...but i don't have to tell you that because you have been staring at the SAME blog since June...if you have hung in there for this long-thanks...I am going to try to give you a quick recap of what you have missed out on while I was off living life...

Shortly after Hubs' birthday, Father's Day happened...

Hannah participated in a variety of Swim lessons...she is basically on her way to the Olympics

Hannah also went to Cheer leading Camp

She will still break out with a random cheer every now and then-so stinkin cute

Someone also celebrated her 4th birthday!

K 4 started in August and this was her back to school hair

I saw this on pintrest-it is a snail braid and is much easier to do than it looks

She was stoked about going back to school...I hope she still feels this way in 10 years...

she was not stoked about the fact that her mommy kept taking pictures of her because she just wanted to go to school already...

At some point in the summer Hannah decided that she was going to be Snow White for Halloween...sneak peak for tomorrow's festivities

She really wants to wear those heels trick-or-treating, and I told her her feet would hurt but she is determined

We went to EdVenture in Columbia

We spent some quality time together before seeing Super Why

Obvi we both like giraffes

Our second season of soccer started (and finished...) I was actually one of the coaches for Hannah's team so that was an experience I will never forget...

Cutest.kid.ever

The Fair is in town so we went to visit...this was the first year that Hannah was able to ride the rides and she LOVED it!

This was her favorite ride because the cars whipped you around the curve of the "track"

She didn't want to ride alone so she made Hubs ride with her...he looks like he is going to break the swing

Loved it!

Finally, since Halloween is just around the corner...literally less than 24 hours, we went to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin(s)...Hannah got 2 and the Hubs got 1...but carved 2 pictures into it because it was that big... pictures of the pumpkin carved will come later...you know in 6 months when I remember to post again...if it is any consolation, I thought about blogging every day...

annual height picture at the scarecrow...she is getting so big!

Sorry I am such a slacker...hopefully I will be able to post more frequently from now on!

Friday Confessions: Ice Cream Loves My Thighs

It's FRIDAY! So that means it is time for a Confess Sesh with Leslie over at A Blonde Ambition...so Let's get to it!

1) I confess that I silently (ok fine, sometimes not so silently) judge people for their use of poor grammar.

2) I confess that I watch swamp people...I know, I know. I really just can't turn it off. I am thankful that there are subtitles because I am really not 100% positive that everyone speaks English all of time...

3) I bought some ice cream cupcakes for ~~me to enjoy~~ Hubs' birthday this week. He and Hans had 1...I may have eaten 2...so far...and I fully intend to eat more.

4) I am obsessed with ice cream...it doesn't matter what season it is or what the weather is outside, I want ice cream every day. I love ice cream and ice cream loves my thighs...

5) Father's Day is this weekend, and Hans and I already gave Hubs his gift...as in last month. It is a 2 person rocking hammock-and it is amazing. You should be jealous if you don't have one or if you don't know someone who does have one.

It's a wee picture but you should still be jealous.

6) Hans and I went on a date to see Madagascar 3 and I didn't really care for much of the movie, but I did like this part...and Hans and I might frequently reenact it...

7) My vacation doesn't start for another 2 weeks but I am already in vacation mode...and may have been for a cool 2 weeks now...sad but true.

8) I might be the world's worst pen pal...seriously-it took me almost 2 months to respond to my pen pal's letter...AND I TYPED IT...not even hand written...but I did go back and draw some pictures on it with pretty colored ink...does that count for anything?

9) The Gamecocks are back in Omaha for the CWS!!! Hoping for a 3peat but I am just excited for them to have made it back there again (side note, Hubs was at the first game against Oklahoma the night Hans and I went out for our date-I am jealous but I still loved the QT with my Hans.)

10) Speaking of the Gamecocks-I CANNOT wait for FOOTBALL SEASON TO START ALREADY!!!!!

Link up with Leslie and Share your confessions too!

Graduation...already?

On May 23, My little Hannah graduated from K-3. I have no idea when she got to be old enough to play soccer or have dance recitals so how is it possible that my baby girl is on her way to K-4?!

So Silly All the Time

Call the POLICE! Someone stole Ty Ty's hair

Maw Maw and Granci

Silly Face Time

No one likes a frowny face

My Baby getting her diploma!

Cookie time!

Tiny Dancer

Hannah started taking Dance this year-both tap and ballet- and she loved it. Her first recital was just a few weeks ago (so this post is not actually so late...yay?) and it was so sweet! I loved it-and now you can too!

It's SHOWTIME!

Isn't she so cute?!

An action shot

Love this little dancer!

Flowers from Daddy before he had to leave for work

Hannah and Elizabeth

Gang of misfits...really they were sweet (most of them)

Taking a bow!

Mr & Mrs. Hudson Est. 4/27/12

So remember when I said that MBFF was getting hitched? No? Well you can read about the bridal shower here ...k-all caught up now? Good. So on April 27 I had the wonderful honor and privilege to marry MBFF (you may know her as Casey-but I am pretty sure if you only know me via this blog, you really do only know her as MBFF). You may recall from a previous post that I am in the business of marrying people, and thanks to MBFF the legacy continues. It was such a beautiful wedding and Hubs and I had a blast! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day! Congrats Casey (MBFF) & Allen!
