enjoying the gorgeous view of the hill country

This past weekend Jason and I had our Babymoon!
We also got to visit with my sister Meredith, Mark, Asher, & new baby Cole!
It was so fun getting to chat with them & eat good food together.
We stayed at the Westin @ La Cantera Resort, which is gorgeous!
It was such a sweet time together just the two of us.
Our last getaway before we are a family of 4.
We had lots of good meals (did I already say that?)
We shopped and relaxed and just chatted about life!
I love my Tall Tree!
Thanks for such a sweet weekend.

around the house

Hudson has been playing lots of cars lately. We also put up his cloth alphabet
panel from PB kids up so we can learn those letters! Of course, he loves to pick out the pictures of the banana, truck, and van the most. He also has grown super attached to his duck, turtle, and blankie. He likes to feed the animals gold fish. One day last week, we greeted Dada by wearing his size 13 basketball shoes. It was pretty hilarious! And that's what we've been doing on the random freezing days. Besides baking banana cupcakes with cream cheese icing and dark chocolate brownies =) On pregnancy updates, I am feeling great! A little achy sometimes when I've been on my feet too long or when I try to run..oops ;) I'll try to take a bump picture soon. I go to the doctor next week for my 30 week checkup. I can't believe it! But-at the same time, it seems forever away that I will meet this sweet baby boy. I want to savor every moment with my baby Hudson for the next 3 months.

see this face...

It's the face of a little guy who Knows that his picture is being taken. He also knows we think it's cute when he does this. Here he is putting moma (monkey), du (duck), doggie (makes panting sound), & tu tu (turtle) ni ni (night night as we call at this house). So precious!

our little Christmas

as most of you know, we all got sick at the worst time possible-the week of Christmas! a week before x-mas, I started getting a scratchy throat, turned runny nose/yucky cough-sunday, Hudson starts coughing, and then Jason starts feeling icky the 23rd. these yucky colds don't just last a day or two either! anyway, we weren't getting better and Hudson was highly contagious with a respiratory virus and ear infection. we decided we could not go anywhere. don't get me wrong, we love spending time together just us 3, but it's ALWAYS just us three! we wanted to be with family! we stayed home and decided to make the best of it! my sweet mommy told us she wanted us to go to Central Market and buy whatever we wanted! ahhh! so, i drove up to cm with the rest of Houston at 9am on Christmas Eve and had me a good ol' time! Christmas Eve, we watched movies, munched on cupcakes, and a cheese ball (it was gormet, so it was ok =) ), drove around looking at Christmas lights with coffee!, and played yahtzee. Jason and I had a nice little dinner after Hudson went down. The next morning, we had a yummy breakfast and opened stockings and gifts.

we rested all morning and even video-chatted with everyone at the George's! after talking it over, we decided that Hudson and I were well enough to make the drive to Austin to surprise everyone! Jason felt ok too. So, that's what we did!

Christmas at Janie's

we had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with my mom's side of the family Saturday the 18th! almost everyone was there-we missed you Whitney, Johnathan, & Will-Mere, Mark, & Asher, and Meg, Steven, Addie, & Emily! Whoo! Lots of babies in this family! we dined on paper plates, had Rudy's bbq and a Chick-fil-a nugget tray, and lots of yummy sides! definitely a preggy girls kind of meal =) here are some family pictures from the day.

his name will be

Sawyer George

we are still working on the middle name! but our top runners are Benjamin, Jacob, & Daniel.

we can't wait to meet our sweet little boy and baby brother!

first haircut

so we had put off Hudson's first haircut for months. i think we both didn't want him to lose his baby look and also liked the longer hair. lots of women have referred to hudson as "she" in public. it always makes me laugh because i don't think anyone would dress a little girl in what hudson has on! i'd rather have a pretty little boy than a girl who looks like a boy though! anyway, the mullet was getting to be too much for me to handle. we took him to a precious little children's boutique/hair salon called "little lords and ladies" yesterday. he got to sit in a "carrr", which he loved and had his first piece of candy-a blue dum dum sucker. he was pretty into that hence the blue drool ALL over his shirt. he surprised us both with his perfect behavior! no tears or fits!
