I've been slow lately still trying to find time to blog! But last weekend, the 4th was tons of fun for our little family. We finally got some much needed yard work done at the house on Saturday, planted some flowers, got patio furniture, etc... and Hudson was outside with us in his swing...so cute. Later that night Derek made his famous burgers for everyone and we made homemade vanilla ice cream! YUMMM... one of my favorite "4th" traditions we do. And after that lighting off our little fireworks outside the house was fun too. On Sunday, since it was sunday we didn't do anything too exciting during the day since we had church, but in the evening we drove downtown Boise to Ann Morrison Park where they do the big city fireworks display, and that was awesome, we found a park where only like 3 other people came to watch them, so we had the area to ourselves pretty much! I was half relieved that Hudson slept the whole time, but in a way I wanted him to be able to watch the fireworks with us...I guess next year he'll be old enough to to like them.
Anyway, the rest of the week has been pretty uneventful, other than the fact that Derek has been WAY WAY too busy with work, and I miss my husband being home. But atleast he's making progress with the business, so I have to be thankful he is so willing to work hard to support us!.. Luckily however, we got to get away for the weekend and come to Utah for our yearly Nish/Stokes Reunion. We left EARLY on Friday morning to beat the heat driving down. My sweet little boy just slept peacefully the whole way and was perfect. When we got to the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to walk into the jacuzzi suite that my dad had booked for us! It's very nice, and Hudsy enjoyed a nice jacuzzi bath with his mommy.... he lovvvved it! The jets in the tub must have reminded him of being in my tummy or something. So sweet <3. He slept pretty well until 5 a.m. in his bed we brought for him, and then he slept between Derek and I for the rest of the night! Let me tell you cuddling in a king sized bed is a LOT more enjoyable then in a queen! Derek agrees we need one if Hudson keeps sleeping by us :-) .... So today we woke up, derek brought me breakfast, and we got ready and went to the reunion which was in Logan. It was lots of fun showing Hudson off to everyone who hadn't met him yet. He was in a good mood and he smiled and laughed for everyone.. We had fun and ate WAY too much delicious food... the best part was just napping under a tree in the park and Derek not having to anwer his phone 500 times a minute! Love getting away! :)
