Hudson

Hi baby! I hope you read mama's blog one day. You are 2 1/2 and your 3rd birthday is right around the corner. We are going with a Car's theme this year because, let's face it, you are OBSESSED! You have grown in to such a handsome, smart, funny, cool, loveable little boy. We are so proud of you!!

* You can count to 30 and count backwards from 10 to 1
* You know your days of the week, months of the year, Lord's Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance!
* You have made so many new friends and they all say hi to you when I drop you off at daycare
* You love singing "Sail!" Twinkle Twinkle, Ol McDonald and anything Texas Country, you are your mama's boy!
* You love to give hugs and kisses on the cheek :)
* Some of the things that come out of your mouth are so funny, they almost make mama pee her pants
* You love visiting Daddy at the fire station and playing on the fire trucks ( & getting candy from all the guys)
* You love staying Friday nights at Chita's house and eating a cheeseburger from Texas Burger
* You still don't like eating vegtables but we sneak them in without you knowing sometimes ;)
* You love home made smoothies made by daddy
* You have a HUGE imagination and it's fun playing with you
* You have just recently gained an opinion and what you are wearing (Lord help me)
* Sometimes you are too big for your britches
* The park is your favorite place to be!
* You could spend hours in your toy room and the bath tub
* You are so handsome and remind me so much of your daddy
* You are such a good traveler, wether it be in the car or in an airplane
* I CAN'T believe you are about to be 3!!!! The best 2 1/2 years of my life have been because God blessed us with YOU!!

Love you to the moon angel boy xox

Quintana's go back to the beach

We just got back from Lewisville and I am already counting the days until our beach vacay in Santa Monica. Bel Air Bay Club here we come.........

So much going on this month! I can't believe it's almost AUGUST!!!!!

Texas Fire Fire Olympics, '12

We leave Monday for FF Olympics!!!! This will be my 3rd year going and Cody's 4th. This is one of the best little get-aways we get each year. We leave early Monday morning and arrive in Lewisville, TX that afternoon. It's a whole lotta shopping, relaxing, tanning by the pool, eating amazing food time for me, while Cody and the rest of the guys golf for 4 days. We're riding with James and Alicia again this year and rooming with them. They are so much fun! Last year Olympics were in Roundrock and I have friends in Austin who we met for dinner one night. Luckily I have a couple friends not far from Lewisville that I'll be getting to see. :)
The whole group that we go with are a blast. So many stories from the previous years!!
When Hudson gets a little older, we'll start taking him. Right now it's a mommy and daddy get-away :)

On another note, I need to start planning a 3 year BIRTHDAY PARTY! Where does the time go? I'm pretty sure we are going with the Cars theme but it could change to Angry Birds any day now.... He's got this weird obsession with that game. What a little stinker we've got on our hands these days. Time out and spankings have been a daily thing for us :(
We're going to have our hands full when he's a teenager.

I can FINALLY report that Gram is out of the hospital!!!!!!!!!! Of course she got out when both mom and I were out of town but luckily she had a very close friend from church take her home. She is still very weak and has little energy but she is eating solid foods and has a nurse that comes to her home everyday :))
Big improvement from just two weeks ago. GOD IS SO GOOD
A lot of TLC and resting is in her future but what a blessing to finally have her home.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoic and be glad in it!! -Psalm 118:24
