Hudson is growing so big! He will be four months in just a few days. Hudson has been learning how to laugh/giggle, talk to himself in the early morning, talk to his mom and dad during the day, dance when music is playing (kick his feet and move his arms), roll onto his side but not quite all the way over, reach for his toys and put them in his mouth, hold his head up all on his own while he is being pulled up to a sitting position and how to sleep 10 hours through the night! Hudson is awesome. Here are a few of Hudson's nicknames: Hud Money, Izzo (like "H to the Izzo"... you know the song), Little Man, "H", Tank (He is in the 95% for height and weight.... he's so heavy sometimes my back aches!), Turbo, Handsome Hudson, Hud, Huddy, and "H.J.". He also got his first hair cut!

Garrett is doing lots of research and working hard. He is excited to start medical school THIS YEAR. Haha... it feels weird that it is finally "this year", even though it isn't until august. Gar-man is also keeping busy with the boy scouts at church. They have been on a campout and all the boys love to play basketball as often as they can with Garrett. It's awesome! G is on a rec basketball team through one of the cities nearby with his Uncle, and he loves that too.

I (Kelsey) am trying to be more crafty! I am learning to make flowers out of fabric to add to some sweaters and shirts and I am starting to run again! I love running and it feels awesome to hit the pavement. I really want to do another half soon. Texas is HOT HOT HOT in the summer though, so I'm gonna have to try and find one in the fall. I'm also tempted to train for a full marathon again... hmmmm.

We were able to meet up with the Dutcher's and the Jacobson's (friends from BYU) for dinner one night. It was so fun to see them! And when we left the restaurant it was snowing! We felt like we were bring some of Utah to Texas.

Last... we have discovered the public library! We go as a family, including Deid and Ci, every 3 weeks and load up on books. My recent reads include: Princess Academy, Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Graceling, and Extras. Garrett has a longer list. :)

Here are some pictures of our growing little boy! Enjoy!
