Christmas Morning

Talia was SO excited this year that we actually woke Skylar up to open presents. Although not pictured, we do have a second daughter that slept through Christmas morning and made it enjoyable for the rest of us. We rushed to Talia's moms, Talia's dads and Bracken's dads all on Christmas day after we did our own thing. It was a very busy day!

Talia's main gift was a new pair of running shoes. This was all of the picture allowed to be shown.

Brack's favorite gift was a calendar for his desk with pictures of the girls.

Skylar is starting to get into Dora the Explorer and got "backpack"

She also got a little trike that she loves. She loads up other toys into the back of it and loves to get pushed around the house. This was a very fun Christmas because Skylar loved opening presents and helping others open theirs.

Christmas Eve Breakfast

One of our family traditions is to get together with the Tom & Michelle Bankhead family and the Scott & Rissa Telford family. We went up to Mapleton this year and had a great breakfast, story & game of bingo. Santa came and brought suckers to all the good boys and girls.

Here are some of the highlights...







Not to mention, in the Bingo game,


Bracken won


And Talia won


But Di & Rissa will have to keep practicing for next year

Unofficial Christmas Card

This was GOING to be the Christmas card until mom decided not to include adults in the Official card. I like the picture so I wanted to post it. Merry Christmas - Love, The Hudson's

Santa #1

Talia was brave enough to take Jack, Paisley, Logan, Skylar & Saige down to Tecia's work to see Santa Clause. Bracken showed up towards the end just in time to see how cute they all were. Logan found mom and wasn't too interested in Santa anymore and Saige was sleeping.
We have been lucky this year to be able to swap kids on days when mom's work so Skylar has had a TON of fun with her cousins. And yes, they are ALL her favorite cousins so save the posts (Hallee, Jack, Paisley, Logan & Ryder).

Baby Saige

Here is our cute little Saige Diane Hudson

More to come.

Brack's Softball Games

Bracken has been playing softball with some guys from the ward. Their name is very appropriately "Sweaty Mess". Talia has enjoyed coming to the double headers on Thursday nights but Skylar has a blast cheering on her dad. Here are the only worthwhile pictures of the season....




Not to mention, Skylar took 2 of the 3 pictures. Can you guess which?

Skylar's New Bedroom

We decided to keep the new baby's bedroom closest to ours so we are in the process of moving Skylar rooms. Talia picked out a bedding set that she loved and we picked colors around that. With the help of my cousin Luke, we have repainted, hung beadboard and chair rail. Almost finished with that part! I still need to repaint a dresser and build a bed so we will see if that all gets done before the new baby.

Utah Lake

Even with the busy summer, we made it out to the lake a couple times. Here are some of the pics....Thanks Brett for inviting us twice this whole summer! :)

Hogle Zoo 2009

We decided to take Skylar up to the zoo before the new baby comes. She had a blast! I can't believe how much she has grown up since the time we were there last year. She loved to copy what the monkey's did and growled at the lion. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.







I had to post a last year picture to remind ourselves how fast she is growing!

Hudson Potato Farm

We went down to Santaquin to dig up the new potato's. It was a first for many of us but I have a feeling it won't be the last! We had a great time and there were way too many cute pictures to just post so I thought a slideshow would be best. We have eaten our share of the potato's and I can saw that Poopsie knows how to do it! We missed him dearly but are sure glad to still have more time with Bunny.

Utah County Fair

You would think in a county with over a half million people, we would have a decent county fair. Wow, what a disappointment. Regardless of the 12 vendor booths, 4 food vendors and the fair being in Spanish Fork.....Skylar still had a great time. Don't think we will be returning next year though.

4th of July - Kanab 2009

Wayne, Diane, Bracken, Talia, Skylar & Hallee all went down to the Johnson Family reunion in Kanab over the 4th of July this year. Bracken & Wayne golfed, the family supported in the city parade and we had a nice gathering at the church. One of the highlights had to be the 4 hour auction, wow! Regardless, we had a great experience spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and getting to know our relatives a little better. Di was especially excited when we got to go to Moqui Cave and she was reunited with an old flame (Les). We even learned where their first kiss was inside the cave. WOO WOO! :)

Camping

Skylar and Bracken went camping for the weekend up Nephi canyon with Papa Hal, Tosh, Mac Jack, Ryder and Kiley. We stopped in Santaquin then stayed at Camper's World in the motorhome. We also went fishing at Burston's pond before a rainstorm hit. A great time was had by all.

Cousins

Skylar LOVES getting together with her cousins and playing. I think she gets bored of mom and dad all the time! Here are some pics from this summer spending time with Hallee, Jack, Paisley, Logan & Ryder.
