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.

Wheeler Farm

Since Bracken is heading to Africa, we decided to take a family day up to Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake. Both of us had been there many years ago but it was fun to take Skylar back for an afternoon. The weather was excellent and she had a lot of fun. Isn't it so cute how dad and Skylar matched? :)
Here are some of the pics from our day...

Kristopher's BDay '09

We went to the cemetary to say hello to our little buddy Kristopher. Daddy was talking to Skylar about her uncle and she seemed to already know him. She loved giving his picture kisses. What a special day.

Happy Mother's Day Talia!

Easter Egg Hunt

Sasha and her kids went up to Seattle this year so we only had 1 Easter Egg hunt over at Grandpa Pete's. He prepares weeks in advance to make sure the hunt is well prepared and exciting for all the grandkids, AND KIDS! We had a great time. We forgot Skylar's cute Easter basket at home so we were stuck using a plastic sack. UGHHH!!!! Oh well, I guarantee next year the pictures will be a little cuter without an Albertson's bag as an Easter basket.

Easter 2009

Talia got together with Tecia and all the kids this year to make Easter eggs. Skylar did well but wasn't too sure about the coloring on her hands afterwards.
