Well that was a long three months with no blogging. But I'm back! And so much has happend. Let's start with planning a 2 year birthday party!!! Already! Time flies. We are having Hud's 2nd party at the Jumping Party, here in Midland. I only have a couple short weeks to plan so I'm focusing on all the details. Thomas the Train is the theme, because, let's face it, he's OBSESSED. I have found so many cute Thomas decorations.

We turned down a trip to NYC. A paid in FULL trip to NYC. (Can you tell I am a little bitter??) Well, it was my choice to turn down. Cody was invited to play with the Midland Fire Department softball team. They had mentioned to him a few months back that they may need him but weren't 100% sure. Two weeks before the trip, we get a call that they do, in fact need him. Flight and hotel paid in FULL for him and myself.... Here's the catch: We'd be gone 9 days! We'd miss Hudson's actual birthday and his party was scheduled for a the day after we would be leaving. I have only been away from him a full 3 days..once! I can't imagine a full 9 days. Also, we'd be missing Hudson's godmother and my friend Kristen coming in town for Labor day weekend. I know I sound crazy but it just didn't feel right accepting this trip last minute and being gone so long. But GOOD NEWS, Ireland is in the works in two years so we're hoping to be invited to that! =))

My very dear friend Laural is getting married this weekend!!!! So very excited to be there with her to share this moment. The wedding will be in her parent's AMAZING back yard in Greenwood. Today we are getting pampered and taking her to lunch her last day as a single lady =)

Work is getting busier, we are less than 6 weeks away from the Odessa Walk!! If you are interested, you can check out our website and register or be a virtual walker. www.diabetes.org/stepout
Midland's walk will be shortly after that!

Cody has his final interview for MFD with the head chief Tuesday August 23rd. We will hear something shortly (hopefully) after that. Fingers crossed!!

Hudson had his 2 year photo shoot with Mallory last week and I can't wait to see the gallery. She gave me a sneek peak a few days agao and my boy looks so grown up and handsome.

Hopefully I will keep up with this a little better..untill then...see ya soon!
