Landon's 1st haircut

Landon got his 1st haircut today and did great! I was sad to see his shaggy hair and curly q's go, but now he looks like a little boy. :) After the haircut, we went to dinner and then headed home. Don't forget to move your mouse over the pics and you can read the descriptions.



Growing up

The boys are growing up so fast!! Hudson starts school in 2 weeks and Landon will 11months next week. Hudson comes up with the funniest sayings and Landon is a giggle box! The other day Hudson was trying to say "chill out", but instead he said, "choke out dude". He also likes to use words like "actually", "appreciate", and "neither". Landon has discovered the love for The Man from Snowy River, too.
Hudson and his infectious smile!

Landon will stand for several seconds and laugh, but won't take a step.

T-town fun

Grammie's 90th Bday Celebration

Ben's dad's mom, Grammie, celebrated her 90th bday on Aug 1st. All the family headed to Grandfield, OK, to join in on the celebration. We drove to Dallas and stayed the night with my Grandmommy and then drove to OK the next day. It was so good to see everyone (except Ben's 2 sisters were unable to make it), especially since we hadn't seen Ben's parents since Thanksgiving. The boys had a great time hanging out with MoMo, Papas, and Uncle JoJo.

Helping Daddy

We had to get a new gate for the top of the stairs, because our old one doesn't fit properly. Here are 2 pics of Hudson when he was about 11 months (Hudson didn't start crawling until he was 10 months) helping Ben put the gate up.
Hudson is once again helping Ben, but he is a little bigger this time. :)


Friends

My childhood friend, Carissa, lives in Houston and has 2 girls the same ages as my boys. Lillian is 3 and Evelyn is 11months. The kids love to play together!

Sweet Landon

Bridges Family Reunion

My mom's dad, my Papa, was Clarence Bridges. He died when I was 3 1/2. His family has a cemetery in Quitman, TX, which is where my mom grew up. Recently we had a family reunion in honor of the historical marker that the family received. It was really inspiring to hear my great uncle tell about the legacy of the Bridges family. He talked about the work ethic and love for God that his dad had and his dad before him. I am so proud to have such a rich heritage.

Daddy's 1year Homecoming with the Lord

Sorry it has taken me so long to get all of our trips posted. We have had a lot going on and I haven't kept up with my blogging. :)

For Daddy's 1 year, the boys and I headed for Tyler. We had a great time visiting with family and reflecting on Dad. On the actual day, June 11, we did a day that involved Daddy stuff. :) We put a tent up in the backyard, picked blueberries to make blueberry pancakes, and went on a hike at Tyler State Park. We had a great trip. Enjoy the slideshow, even though it is a little lengthy. :) Move your cursor over the pictures to read the description.
