Catching Up

Goodness gracious where does the time go? I haven't blogged in two months. Life just gets away from me and this little time capsule of our lives gets neglected for sure. We are busy. I don't know if I have ever been this busy at work. By the time I get home, play with the kids, get them fed bathed to bed and Brandon and I eat dinner, it's already 10 o'clock and I'm ready to crash. But I think it's important to document our life so here's an update of the last few months.

At the Lubbock Addy Awards.

Brandon and I celebrated 6 years of marriage on March 21st. Honestly it really is the most natural relationship I've ever had and 6 years has flown by. We've been together for 8 1/2 years and we are truly best friends and still very much in love. We have so much fun. We're still learning about each other and growing in our relationship all the time. He gets me. All of me. And I get him. We just click. I can't wait to see what God does in the next 6 years of our lives together as we grow as a couple and navigate this crazy life together.


On our anniversary, we spent the day at the Fort Worth Zoo with my brother and his family. It was a blast. The kids just played and played. It's so much fun when they all get together.

We spent a few days with them and then traveled to Houston to see Brandon's Grandma. She's doing so well for 96 years old and so enjoyed getting to see the kids.

This was the first road trip for Hudson. At times it was a real challenge, but we made it across Texas and back and I'm so glad we decided to do this. It was so great to see everyone.

They love each other so much

On March 23rd our sweet girl turned 4. Hannah Kate at 4 years old is total cuteness and sass all at the same time. She is hilarious and says the funniest things all the time. She's also very spirited. She has lots of emotions that sometimes she doesn't know what to do with them. She can be very dramatic but also very sweet. She's getting so big and learning so much.

We celebrated her birthday for like a month. Girl was spoiled for sure. She deserves it :) I love having her for a daughter. She's the best big sister and loves her little brother so much. They play so well together. I'm so blessed!

I made this birthday card for her and sent it in to Sprout.
They read it on TV and Chica wished her Happy Birthday!
It was a hit with the 4 year old for sure.

Hudson is now 16 months. I can't believe it. He's turning into a little boy right before our eyes. He is the sweetest little love bug around. He's so affectionate to everyone. He's constantly giving us kisses and hugs. He's so handsome and smart. I just love him. He makes me happy.

He had his ear tubes put in March 26th. Surgery and recovery went really well except for scary bleeding incident the day after surgery. He got a great report last Friday. So far, it's been a really great decision for us.

Easter was so wonderful this year. We had a great time spending the weekend with family. The weather was really beautiful too.

Hudson started full time walking a few weeks ago. It's made life more fun now that he can just get up and go.

I'm in a women's group called If:Table.  It's amazing! A group of 6 moms gathered around a table once a month sharing a simple meal and having Christ centered conversations. We laugh a lot, cry some, and go really deep with each other. Every time I leave the table I feel fuller than when I came in. It's just a good place to fill my spiritual cup.(Acts 2:46)
I'm also starting an 8 week Bible study with some of them. We're going through Jennie Allen's book stuck. Should be really good.

That's a little bit of what's going on. Life's not slowing down anytime soon. I love my life. I'm so grateful for all my blessings. For our family, marriage, friends, church, community. We have it pretty great and I never want to take anything for granted.
