New pics of my sweet baby!

Jayson and I bought our first big furniture item together last weekend at IKEA, and can I just say I LOVE LOVE that store. I love the restaurant, and I love their prices and the quality of the items. We got some new lamps and other fun stuff and we bought this couch. We had been looking for a new couch for awhile, and we couldn't really decide. So I went and looked at IKEA before Jayson came and I loved this one. It pulls out to a full size bed, it has storage under the chaise thing. And it is something we hope will last for awhile, we really loved the idea of getting some leather furniture, but living in the trailer means we have limited space....so here is our space saver couch for a temporary solution to our couch problem. :)



Here are some pictures of Hudson, and our weekend at my mom's house. Hudson is getting so big so fast. He is already sitting up mostly by himself, he can't really even sit in his bouncer anymore because he sits forward too far and can't balance well in it so he falls forward. He has started eating some cereal. I am mostly just letting him taste it, I'm ok with going slow so he can get used to it and his body can grow big enough so he can take it. He is still in 3-6 months clothes but I'm not sure that will last very much longer. I am still LOVING the cloth diapers we chose, the GroBaby system is wonderful. They are easily washed, and they come out looking brand new even after the dirtiest changes haha. And Hudson's skin is also improving with using the cloth diapers, before I think the disposables were irritating his sensitive skin that he got from both his mommy and daddy.











Jayson finally came home from WY last week, and he was able to come straight to my mom's house. We had so much fun hanging out with our friends the Kummer's at Cabelas and then lunch at IN N OUT! We love IN N OUT...I could eat there every day I think :) Here is a pic of their little boy Jacob, Hudson and Jacob were so cute together. Jacob loved to grabbed on to Hudson's hair, and they loved to hold hands it was super cute. We also went to the Jazz game because Jayson's little brother (and 4 other kids) won the Spirit of the Sport award, and they were given the award during half time with all the All State athletes so we had a lot of fun going to the game, and it was really nice to have a date just Jayson and I :)





These are a few pictures from my trip to Colorado to visit my sister, I had so much fun visiting them and I can't wait to see them again soon!

Killer Goat AKA Goat from hell!

To give a little background on this story, a week or 2 ago I had gone for a run in the morning and Jayson was up with Hudson. As I came down our street on the last part of my run this big dog came out of no where and started barking. I freaked out and started sprinting (which is NOT as fast as I once was haha, this was my first "run" since having Hudson) and called Jayson on my phone. He came running out of the house and said he couldn't even see the dog. I turned around and the dog had stopped running a ways back. haha, I felt so dumb for being freaked out, but this dog was pretty big. So after that I told Jayson I was not going to be going outside for awhile. THEN, today I figured, I had been inside all day, it was SO beautiful, so I got Hudson all bundled up to go for a walk. So, our walk went so well, until we got back to our front yard. This goat was behind my car where I couldn't see him and when I walked in front of it to get in through our gate he butted me right in the leg!! I yelled and freaked out and kicked it right in the head. It ran off like 15 feet so I ran inside our yard and shut the gate. And then I speed walked to our front door and that stupid goat ran through our fence! I grabbed Hudson and ran inside and slammed the door. Then I hear a thump on the door, that stupid goat was butting my door! Then he put his front hooves up on the door and was almost "standing" on the door. I was totally freaked out. At this point I realize my phone is still in the stroller. I am crying, thinking "this freakin goat is trying to get in my house!" Well, I go and grab the BB gun, and at this point the goat has moved away from the door and is just in the yard. So I shoot it right in the butt and all it does is run at the door again, so I shut it quick and it starts butting the door! I sit in front of the door because I am not sure what else to do, and the handle starts shaking. THAT DANG GOAT has figured out how to put its head on the handle and it looks like it is trying to open my front door! At this point I am in disbelief. The goat then tries to get back out of the yard, but can't. So it ran in the back yard and I figured I had to get my phone quick. I grab the phone and here it comes around the house running. So I run back inside and shut the door. Here it goes again butting the door. Again, I'm in disbelief. I call Jayson in hysterics not sure what to do. He says he is going to call the police, but who knows how long that could take them to come here in town...So I call my rescuing mother in law :) Jeanie runs down with some ammonia and a golf club and sprays it and hits it. But that tough bugger wasn't really scared of either of us. haha, it was a crazy goat. I'm sad now that I didn't get it on film or that I didn't get a picture. So, I'm going to have to invest in a treadmill because apparently me and the outside do not mix. Thanks to Jeanie for coming to rescue me!
On a better note, Hudson's 4 month appointment was yesterday, he is growing wonderfully. He is in the 25th percentile for his weight at 14 pounds, in the 80th percentile for his heighth at 25 inches. So we have a tall drink of water on his hands. The dr said since he is sitting up so well we can try solids so tonight he had his first taste of organic (of course!) rice cereal. I just let him taste a little and he loved it. So then I added it to his bottle and he sucked it right down. I probably will only let him taste it probably for another few weeks, and then try to get him to eat more of it. I know his little body is still growing and we need to take it slow. He also did so well for his shots. Cried out a little but other than that just all smiles. Then he got a little fussy before bed last night so I gave him a little tylenol and it was great after that. He is my tough boy thats for sure! I love watching him grow and learn so much. Well, I hope no one else was attcked by any crazed farm animals today haha, and I hope everyone has a wonderful week. AND HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY tomorrow and happy 13th birthday to my little brother Bennihanna! We love you Ben! And a little shout out to my baba who works so hard for our family, and it sucks with him being out of town but I am so grateful for our eternal relationship and the wonderful husband he is. Love you baba!

Cute bum...where ya from!? :)

This week I am at my mom's helping her out while she is at a conference in St. George. I am taking care of my younger siblings and so far we are having a pretty good time :) Jayson is gone working again....and it really stinks because now he is on night shift and I don't get to talk to him very much. :( But I am grateful for the time I do get to talk to him.
I tried uploading a bunch of pictures from my new camera!! YAY!! :) But blogger seems to be having some issues uploading them so I only have 2 on here. I love my new camera, it's awesome.
Well, I just thought I would post something real quick, maybe I will try to post the rest of the pictures later!


I have recently switched Hudson to cloth diapers and let me tell you....HEAVENLY!! I love that they are so cute nowadays...no more folding and pinning mommas! I use the Grobaby diapers which are just amazing. AMAZING!! They have a snap in liner, and outer shells. I take out the liner when its wet/dirty and change the outer shell twice a day. So wonderful. Saves us a TON of money, is better for the environment, and is super nice on Hudson's cute little bum. I just love them!

Growing up way too fast!

Hudson is growing up way way way too fast. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital feeling like he would never come, now we are hitting some milestones that I never imagined coming this fast!
-Hudson has rolled over a few times, the first time was maybe a few weeks ago, and he has only done it for me and my friend Brooke, every time I try to show Jayson Hudson looks around like he doesn't know what he is supposed to do haha.
-Hudson loves grabbing onto his feet when he is laying down, he tries to suck on his toes, so socks have become a must.
-He has also started trying to hold his bottle himself, very independant :)
-He sits up almost by himself, I just have to balance him but he holds his head on his own
-Hudson also stands really well when I put him in his jumparoo or if I just hold him on my lap, that is one of his favorite ways to play
-toys have taken on a whole new meaning, they are fun and interesting and he loves looking at each one, studying it for a long time. He doesn't really like it if I shake it in front of him, he more likes it just be held still so he can just look at it
-I really have been so blessed because Hudson has been sleeping through the night since we was about a month old, and he still continues to do so well, he goes to bed around 6 and sleeps until 6 or so. It is really nice :)
-He has been taking out his binky and stuffing his entire fist in his mouth, and sometimes he gets his fingers a little too far down his throat haha, but I tell him that's what he gets for sucking his fingers :) I am trying to keep the binky in there more often than his fingers, but once I put it in he just takes it out and puts his fingers back in :)
-Hudson watches the "your baby can read" DVDs and I swear something is starting to sink in. Whether it is memorized, or he is getting it he reacts to certain words they say with the actions, like "arms up" "arms down" and "clap" so hey :) my baby can (kind of) read haha
-He loves his daddy, when Jayson comes home at night Hudson has a few special moments where he and Jayson just crack up, I'm not kidding, he full on cracks up at Jayson just smiling at him, it must be a daddy thing. :)
Well I can't believe how fast my sweet little son is growing, he is such a blessing in our life. I am so grateful to be a mom, and the joys it has brought. :) Hudson's 4 month appointment is next week and I can't wait to see how much he has grown!
Also, I still don't have my camera, so no pictures of anything lately. We haven't done anything too fun so that's good :) Except I made homemade fried ice cream the other day, it was so so so good! I will never get it from a restaurant again. :) Hope everyone has a great week!
