Eight Months Old Today! 10-28-2008

Hudson and I were playing in his room when I realized he is 8 months old today and I should take some pictures to share and scrapbook. Here are a few of the best, it was right before a long needed nap so his eyes are a little red. He's growing so fast and so much fun to play with. He is very ticklish and laughs and wiggles all over the place! We keep talking about getting his first hair cut... one of these days.

Hudson loves his jumpy! Oct. 23rd

Hudson finally has a high chair!

That's enough!

Oct. 21st. Hiking

Bob and Connie took Hudson and I up by Leavenworth for a hike. It was so beautiful we did much more photography than hiking. It was a wonderful day for being out and taking in the amazing fall.

Part of our trail was padded with fallen leaves

Reflections on another summer past

Hudson napped the way in and enjoyed
the view on the way back to the car.

Bob and Connie were talking about a surprise they had for me, a place they knew I would love. They were very right, the lunch was amazing and the atmosphere had my name on it. On our way there Brian found us and joined us for a quick snack.

Mom and Dad visit Oct. 16-19

It's always great to have quality time with parents/grandparents! We mostly stayed around the house visiting, playing cribbage, and loving on Hudson. Thanks for coming!

Randee's family cabin Oct. 11

It's so great to have time with family. Since Randee (my brother) and his family have a cabin on this side of Blewett pass we see them more than ever. They go there often and invite us over for some bar-b-q, games and visiting. We really enjoy our time together and being able to be together more frequent is even better!

Maria is great with Hudson, and he loves her too!

Paul and Carol visited Oct. 11th

Paul and Carol are long time friends of Brian's mom, Connie and Bob. We have had the pleasure of getting to know them as well and even went snow shoeing together on Mt. Ranier. We enjoy their company and had fun showing them our new/old house!

It's almost Christmas!

Grandpa Mike and Grandma Jan visit Oct. 6-8

They couldn't believe how much Hudson has grown since they last saw him and were delighted to have the chance to spend some time with him! We all had a nice time together and were grateful for their visit!

We went for a walk on the loop trail and enjoyed
the scenery after a great lunch at Garlini's Italian restaurant
and a little shopping at the mall.

Of course, we had to have a dinner at Country Boys Bar-B-Que!
Look at their new pig they have outside!

We even got in some relaxing! Bella is on the couch with Jan
and Luna in the sun below.

It always seems that good-by comes way to fast. Fortunately we had this time together and we will be doing our best to do it every chance we get. Thank you for coming to visit and we can't wait to see you next time!

Oct. 6th hangin' out

We are all excited about Grandpa Mike and Grandma Jan coming to visit from Alaska! They arrive tonight and have until Wednesday to play.
