Hudson, freezing but happy

We made a quick trip to Austin for my college roommates' 30th B-day. We cooked hamburgers and just hung out...I love those kind of get-togethers. B and I stopped by a few baby boutiques while in town and found some super cute bedding...for girls! Different boy bedding sooo hard to find. I don't want western, camo or animals and I don't really want "baby" colors eithers. I want blue, of course....just not pastel blue. I'm going to Dallas on Monday so maybe I'll find something amazing.

Oh yea, back to our weekend. We got back in town around lunch on Monday and headed to the MP airport for the Annual Fly-In. Pilots from our area "fly-in" and park their plane for everyone to come by and see. They served free hotdogs and hamburgers and a few of the pilots gave free rides. We've been going for several years and the boys absolutely love it. Afterwards, we went to my parents for some swim time. We made it an early night and headed home. Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend too.

My THREE Boys!!

It's finally confirmed...Brian and I will definitely be welcoming a Third baby boy to our family. I'm a little surprised but not shocked. This pregnancy has been exactly like the other two. Of course, I'm a little disappointed. It's hard to imagine that I will never go to dance recitals, buy dresses for special occassions, and help plan a wedding. I'm somewhat girly, you know, and that kind of stuff gets me super excited. I know that God has a plan for our family and that this baby boy will play an important role. And like someone said the other day...now, I won't have to share my "crown" in the family! So, now I am on to very exciting times of planning a new nursery and picking out the perfect name for my precious baby boy. And PLEASE keep those name ideas coming. Ok...what about these names: Knox, Brenner & Hendrix?

Half way!!

I'm 20 weeks prego this week. Crazy....I feel like it was just yesterday that I was 6 week prego and worrying day and night about whether my body was going to let me keep this pregnancy. I won't lie, I still worry about that sometimes. With the boys, it never crossed my mind...at any time...that every week pregnant was a blessing. I'm trying to cherish this pregnancy (as weird as that sounds) knowing that it's my last. I go back to the Dr. on Thursday to try and figure out if this baby is really a boy or girl? I don't have any inclinations so we'll all be surprised!

In the meantime...I've been thinking baby names. Now...that is "funnest" part about having a baby...am I right? This time...I'm thinking something different. On MckMama's blog the other day, she talked about having unique baby name ideas for her sister but didn't list any. I wish she would, I need ideas. Ok..so here's your chance...bring on the unusual baby name ideas, please. Here's a start....what about Quaid and Maddox?

Mother's Day weekend

Painting the land turtles at Papa's
Hudson's "Christmas Turtle"

The paint didn't get on the turtles so well

"Great Scott" took them around the farm

The "guys"

19 weeks prego

I had a great Mother's Day weekend. It was a nice balance between spending some chill time at home and having other things going on as well.

Hudson had T-ball game Friday night and we went to Cici's Pizza afterwards. Hudson got someone out, for the first time! We were so excited for him. He's finally understanding who to tag out and when. Saturday morning, my hubby let me sleep in!! The best present ever....am I right, moms?? I piddled around the house doing laundry, cleaning out Drew's room (making room to move Hud in there eventually), and washing the cars. Then we went to sign Hudson up for Flag Football for the fall. He actually wants to play! Fine with me...I want him to play anything but Soccer! Not a fun sport to watch, in my opinion. Sunny (my mom) & Papa (my dad) met us for lunch and took the boys with them for the afternoon so B and I could watch Star Trek. I was NOT excited about going but shockingly enough...I actually liked it. I really think that movie is for just about anyone to enjoy.

Sunday, we went to church and took Brian's mom to her favorite place, Two Senoritas. The boys took a nap (unwillingly, of course) and I headed to Wal-Mart to shop in peace and quiet. We ended the evening at my grandmother's (Mer) where the boys road on their HUGE tractor and we cooked hamburgers. These are the weekends that I love small town life.

THE BIG APPLE 2009

Of course, I had to visit WALL ST.
We took a ferry in front of Statue, didn't actually go up in it

World Trade Center Site

Carriage ride around Central Park at night

Real Aircraft Carrier....One of Brian's favorite sites

It had lots of neat airplanes and helicopters on it

Where PROJECT RUNWAY is filmed...I believe

WE HAD AMAZING FOOD!

KATZ' Deli...another famous spot

TAVERN on the GREEN restaurant...beautiful & fancy

Swan bushes...pretty

Famous deli - sandwiches were $16 & came with pickles

WE SAW SOME GREAT SHOWS

Good Morning America a block from our hotel-see Chris in middle

World's smallest body builder on Good Morning America

" WICKED"...Incredible production!! A must see!

Mary Poppins even flew through the theatre-cool

Lil Rounds & Anoop sang on Regis & Kelly (we stood in line for 2 1/2 hrs for tickets)

Yes, she's gorgeous in person too

They filmed at 4:30 in the afternoon for that night's show

I knew they'd take our tix so I got a pic for proof

MY TWO FAVORITE BOYS were waiting on us

My favorite part about coming home

Back to regular activities

Sorry, I haven't posted about our trip to NYC. When we got home, I had a business trip and T-ball games. We did so much in 5 days, that I can't begin to write about all of it, so I'll just post pictures. Overall, we had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend you going...without kids of course (there were no high chairs or kids menus in ANY NY restaurants-definitely NOT kid friendly)! We stayed in a boutique hotel right off Times Square and it was perfect.

MORE TO COME...ran out of time!!
