2010, Can't believe you've gone so fast

2010 was an eventful year for our family. We celebrated Hudson's 1st birthday in March, our 5th wedding anniversary in June, the birth of Ryder Lynn in July, Ma Ma's 80th birthday and Dad's 60th in September, and the marriage of Uncle Clay and Aunt Cigi in December. In the mean time, we sold our first house in March, started building our new house in June, and moved in early November. Never a dull moment with two kids under two years and a construction project in the mix, but we survived and we're extremely thankful for all God has done for us this year ... and for all of our wonderful family and friends that helped us along the way. Thanks to all that prayed and labored with us and especially those that took us in when we needed a place to stay (Thanks Robertson Family! We had a blast.)

Now on to some pictures.

In all the busyness, I did not take as many pictures usual. And I forgot my camera at Thanksgiving, so we'll have to get some pictures from Grandma.


Here are a few from the winter months ...




Major bed head!




I promise he had fun eventually :)


Lots of Christmas pictures ...




Ma Ma got a beautiful locket with pictures of she & Pa Pa.


So sweet!


It's easy to catch this guy smiling :)


New boots. He loves boots!


Cigi's present from Clay, chaps. They were awesome.




Building blocks. Like father, like son.

I have some good videos and some pictures from Clay & Cigi's wedding to post next time.

See you next year!

Ma Ma & Dad's Birthday Bash

We had a huge birthday party for Ma Ma and Dad in Lovington over Labor Day weekend. I think the unofficial head count was 42. It was great to see family that we had not seen in years. Mom and Dad had the yard and porch looking beautiful and my cousin Gaylon rented a huge water slide for the kids (big and little). We had a blast! I don't think I've eaten that much since Christmas.


Happy Birthday Ma Ma!

Good one of Peggy & AC.


Hudson's "cousins" all played so sweet with him.

I didn't get a chance to take many photos so I can't wait to see what the real photographers captured (Hint Hint Clyde and Tina).


Sweet brothers!



Hudson loved sitting on the gator. We were charging the battery, so he didn't know you could drive it yet. He sat on it for hours pretending to drive.

Hudson & Ryder

A quick update with some pictures of Hudson and Ryder. Ryder is growing so fast, and Hudson is a sweet big brother!











Big Smile!
