Meet Tate...

Meet my sister Tori's newest little boy, Tate Joseph Bollard. He was born on February 20th at 12:25 am and weighed 7.2 lbs and was 18 1/2 inches long. Tori called me on Thursday and told me that she thought she was going to have him that night so we hurried and packed up our car and were on our way once again to California. I got to the hospital just in time...Tori made everything look so easy like it was no big deal. Congrats Joe, Tori and Max...little Tate is absolutely adorable! We love you guys.

Just recently we met Wyatt's half sister, Corie and her cute family for the first time. It was so much fun getting to know all of them and it was even crazier that they happen to live only a couple miles down the street from us.

Hudson is 4 Months!!



Here is Hudson [left] and Crew [right] both at 4 months old. I don't think they look anything alike. It's so fun to have two boys with their very own unique looks. Let me know if you think they look alike or if they look different.

Little Friends.

Jude. Brielle. Hudson. We missed Leah...they're all going to be the best of friends.
Brielle giving Hudson some loves.
Mr. Jude and Mr. Hud
Crew and Hudson meeting Jude for the 1st time.

This past week our friend Sarah Taylor was in town with her little boy Jude. Since Sarah was in town we thought it was a great excuse to get all of us girls together for lunch and just catch up at our house later that night. We had such a great time talking and playing with all the new little babies. All of our 4 kids (Leah was eating so she didn't make the picture...next time!) are within 3 months apart and are going to have so much fun growing up together. Thanks all you guys for coming over. We had such a fun night!

Hudson's Blessing Day



Last Sunday, February 1st, Wyatt blessed little Hudson. Wyatt did such an amazing job blessing our sweet baby boy. It was so nice to have most of Wyatt's side of the family {we missed you Randee, Beegh and Sharlie girl} there to share this special day with us. We missed my family lots too.

Check out that Smile


I just can't get enough of this little boy. His smile just melts my heart over and over everyday. Hudson is such a happy-smiley baby who instantly puts me in a good mood when I am not having the best of days. I LOVE you little Hudson.

Happy 2nd Birthday Crew!





Crew turned 2 years old on the 29th. I can't believe he is already 2. While we were in California this last week we celebrated his birthday with family and then when we got home we celebrated his birthday on the day at Chuck E Cheese. He had so much fun running around and playing all the games. It was a great day! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with Crew!

Our 2 boys...



Here is a little update of what our boys have been up to:
Crew just started swim lessons and is a little fish in the water. He loves the water but can also be very stubborn at times during his lessons if he doesn't want to do something. He is also in the process of being potty trained. He tells us if he needs to go potty and knows that he will be rewarded if he does with a marshmallow. I think this is going to be a long couple of weeks but will be worth it in the end. Some of Crew's favorite things to say right now: I watch DVD, go to Donald's (McDonalds), YES, NO, I like that, Cody do it, mom? Cody like that, mom? (He is obsessed with his cousin Cody...seriously obsessed!), I want Apple Juice, I want Pancakes, help momma, Papa alligator, Mimi Giraffe...
Hudson just turned 3 months old on the 13th and is still our little dream baby. He is getting more and more fun each day. He loves to smile and giggle at anyone that gives him attention. He especially likes it when his daddy sings to him. We love this little boy! (I took a short little video of Hudson laughing and talking but can't figure out how to post it...so here are some pics until I can figure this dang thing out)

Our trip to Mexico...




this was the view right from our room...beautiful!





Gorditas...Wyatt loved these on his mission so we had to find someone that made them



Last minute, our friends Clifton and Rachel invited us down to their condo in Rocky Point, Mexico. So we packed up our bags are were on the road once again...It was my first time to Rocky Point and won't be my last. It was so beautiful and we had the absolute perfect view from our room. We had a condo on the first floor so we could just walk right out to all of the pools and spas. Crew loved the beach and all the pools. We couldn't ever get him to get out. We ate lots of yummy mexican food, drank pina coladas, coke and lots of fanta. We also had to make our nightly tosted elotes run. Our family had such a fun and relaxing time. Thanks Cliff and Rachel for the invite. We had a blast with you guys!

New Years Eve 2009







We had a fun New Years Eve at The Mack's house. Thanks for everything Cliff and Rachel! We all had such a blast! At their house we played the Wii, ate lots of yummy food, watched the Office and Hot Rod and hung out by the fire in their backyard. Also, thanks to Wyatt's parents who watched the babies for us. It was a great night hanging out with friends and being able to enjoy ourselves with out to little kiddos trying to get all of our attention. Happy New Year!!!
