One Day on Sugar busters.....

whooo hoooo! First day is done and hopefully I am going to do ok on this! I love salads so i think that there will be lots of salads, grilled chicken and fruit in my future. Great little place called Clementines in Jones Valley has awesome salads so if you are ever over there check it out.

Have you ever noticed how many food commercials they have on tv these days? I finally had to just turn it off and go to bed. Learning to like the taste of Diet drinks and drank a ton of water. Lets see if I can hang in there with my husband.

Wish me luck!

Hudson's 3 month pictures

Well yesterday was quite a day! As I woke up, I realized that Hudson is almost 4 months and I have not had his 3 month pictures made. With Whitt I did a panel of pictures of 3, 6, 9 and 12 month pictures. I want to do this for Hudson so I called Portrait Innovations yesterday at 9. I am not a fan of posed pictures and so I knew that I had to keep an open mind.

As soon as I got off the phone with them and we had our time, I frantically searched for the same clothes that Whitt had his 3 month picture made in. After finding it I crossed my fingers and put it on Hudson. Whew, barely fit.

So I got us all dressed and in the car at 11:30, wow! So off to Huntsville for appointment at 12:30. I have never been a fan of posed pictures but I want the boys first year panels to be alike so I knew that this was what I had to do. I practically did the photo shoot and I am sure that I was the topic when we left. Sorry Christine! I am posting some of the pictures that we got.

More Beach Pictures

Just a couple pictures that I took last week. There were tons of shells that had washed up and we had a ton of fun sorting through them.

Hudson's First Trip to the Beach....

Hudson seemed to love the beach just as much as we all did. He was such a great baby in the car and for the entire week. He actually slept all the way there and all the way back. The weather was wonderful so Michael and Whitt took him out in the sand and Whitt actually played in the ocean. Can you believe that? There were people in swim suits in the ocean to their waist. Not sure that it was that warm, but whatever.

Hudson also started rolling over and had his first cereal while in Gulf Shores. It is just amazing how fast he is growing and all the new stuff that he is doing. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.

Christmas Gifts

Whitt had a GREAT Christmas this year. Santa brought him a drum set, a new Kiss CD (with no make-up), playdough, lincoln logs, and lots of other goodies. Nina and Papa gave him a cool radio flyer scooter, microphone with stand and other stuff. Not really sure where all these goodies are going to go, but he sure is enjoying them all. Hudson got some great stuff too.

Christmas Eve Eve

The Marks Christmas was on Christmas Eve Eve this year and it was so much fun with the kids this year. Whitt and Claire stepped up to entertain. We normally have a rich girl/poor girl play with Lindsey and Grace. There is never a dull moment at the family gatherings. Here is a picture of the kids. This was a rushed picture so Hudson was not able to make it! They are growing up way to fast!

Christmas Dinner

Look at what Whitt made with his Christmas Dinner. I thought that it looked too cool to not share. We have always thought that a rock band would be in his future but culinary school could be in the running.
