The new year is starting off very well! We were very blessed this Christmas season. As a family of four we traveled over 20 hours to visit family and friends. Hudson and Ginger were great travelers. Hudson is now 17 weeks old and growing like a weed. We are having so much fun watching his personality develop each and every day. He is a very happy baby and we cherish the time that we have together. I started back to school this week and Hudson is back to day care. He is making new friends and having fun. Hudson loves music especially the song "Take Me Out To The Ballgame"! Each time one of us sings the song he cannot make eye contact quick enough and has a continuous smile on his face. Hudson is making all sorts of noises. He talks to his dad often; Brock interprets his coos as . . . "I love you dad!". Hudson loves to stand up and see the world and is sitting quite well with minimal support. In the mornings he sits in his Bumbo chair and laughs at himself in the mirror. Brock has taken on the role of singing, dancing, and getting Hudson ready for the day each morning. I love to listen to them through the monitor in our room . . . don't tell Brock I'm listening! It starts my morning off great each day.

God Bless,
Liz, Brock, Hudson and Ginger

HAPPY 2009!!!

Splish, Splash, I was taking a bath...

Anybody need tickets to the gun show?

Me shopping at Target with Mom & Dad today. I was showcasing my "There is a new sheriff in town" shirt and mixing in a snooze.

Me and Mom on NYE ready to party! I didn't quite make it until midnight...

I'm starting to sit in my high chair while Mom and Dad are eating.

We are quite the pair!

Me wearing what my Dad calls my "monkey suit" :)

Me having some fun with one of my new toys!

My tippie toes are starting to touch the ground in my jumper!

After over 20 hours in the car for the holidays, we were all happy to relax at home. By the way, we were all really asleep :)

Smiling on Mom & Dad's bed in Oakley after some assistance getting dressed.

Mom and me catching some zzzz's. We had a long day of fun in Oakley!

Just chillin' in my Radio Flyer. Ladies, I have an extra seat...

Isn't this shirt the truth! I hit the jackpot with my Grandmas!

Dad showing me how to open a gift. I'll have it figured out by next year!

Me being festive! :)

What I've been doing while counting down to my first Christmas . . .

Hanging out by the tree.  I'm trying to guess what I'm getting for Christmas?!?!

Showing off my cute cheeks and smile!

Mommy and me!  Dad & I are pretty big fans!

Me and my lady friend Meredith, along with Mommy and Meredith's Mommy, Beth.

Ginger playing in the snow trying to get her new invisible fence figured out.

This was me on my way to school (daycare) for the first time.  The day was tough on Mom!

Meredith and I together again.  Can you believe I already have a girlfriend?

I sure love my jumper and I'm only about an inch from touching the ground!

           Big Sis' really looks out for me and even gives me a smooch from time to time.

Look at my left hand.  Dad says it will throw a good splitter some day.

       I love it when Dad sings "Take me out to the ball game."  He even sings it about me :)

         The chicks dig me :)

           Ginger is such a bed hog!

  I love feeling like a kangaroo with Mom.  She is always on the go and I see all kinds of things!

         Check out my "crib".  Oh yeah!

 Filling out my clothes quite nicely at two months.

     Check out my guns!

  Dad and me in Manhattan ready for some K-State football.  We lost, but I see some potential!

Mom was there too, so here's all 3 of us.  It was sure fun!

   Dad setting me on Ginger for a ride.  

Still Living the Dream!

My first piggy back ride with Dad. We had FUN!

Come on Cats! You're putting me to sleep! My Mom and Dad promise that they do win once in a while... I was hoping we could get a "W" against KU. Maybe next year...

I thought I looked silly until I saw some of the neighborhood kids come to the door...
I was a pumkin and Mom and Dad were pie. Together we were pumpkin pie.

My Mom was obviously taking a liking to my costumes!

Already a ladies man... This is Meredith and we hang out a lot. She wasn't liking the sweet nothings I was whispering...

Are we quite a pair or what??? I sure dig my Mom!

Just chillin' with my baseball during the World Series.

I wish you could see what Dad was doing to get me to smile... Well, it worked!

Is that Big Sis or Clifford The Big Red Dog???

Mom and Dad had a little lamb. I hear that song all the time, but I don't get it...

Me getting cleaned up before a big night out!

That dinosaur on Dad's hand makes me laugh every time!

Believe it or not, this pic was taken just moments before I threw up on Mom. Oops!

Sympathy picture for Ginger. I want to make sure I don't get all the attention!
