Hangin' With Hudson

So, this is my buddy Hudson who is almost 3 years old. :) He is the funniest 2+ year old that I know. The things he says make me laugh. Here are just a few of them from the past couple of days.

"Miss Connie, do you have a baby in your belly, too?" Ok, his mom is pregnant. At first, I was taken aback, but then Kelly told me that he asked the same question to his cousin who is 12 years old and a size 0. I didn't feel so bad after that. :)

"Hudson: "Are you married?"

Me: "No, I"m not married."

Hudson: "Why not?"

Ha! I was watching him while his mom and dad were at a wedding and so we were talking about people being married. Talk about asking about two sensitive subjects (marriage and children) in the same day. Only from a 2 year old.

We were playing a game that he called volleyball. Basically, we had a beach ball and the object was to throw it in the goal and hit the target in the middle. One time he missed the target and he said, "Oops, I missed the target. Minor detail." Minor detail? Where did he get that? I told his mom and she said she has never said it. So she asked Matt, her husband, and he has never said it either. So Matt asked Hudson where he learned it and who said it. His reply was, "Hudson says it." Ha!

Yesterday, he had a ton of energy and I asked him where he got all his energy and he answered, "I got it from Costco."

Anyway, there were more I sure. I just can't remember them. I'll keep you updated the next time I watch him. Sure does make life fun and entertaining!

The pictures above are of Hudson when I was babysitting on Saturday. (I have to write about and post pictures of someone's child, afterall, I don't have my own.) :)

As Promised

Here is the link to the website that I had while I was in Thailand. For those of you who didn't know me at that time, it will give you a glimpse into part of my history and some of the most memorable times of my life. The front page has the monthly updates with stories, etc. If you want to see pictures, click "Gallery" on the left sidebar and there are several photo albums. Enjoy!

Who Was Scary In Your Neighborhood?

Growing up, a family lived down the street from us that we didn't really play with a whole lot. Well, one time, I found out exactly why. I'll call the boy Joey to protect his identity. I don't really remember what I was doing, but I think that I was just playing outside with my friend Crystal (name not changed). When Joey appears out of nowhere with a KNIFE! I think he was probably about 5 and I was a few years older. Joey decided that it would be fun to chase us around the neighborhood with the knife. So, of course we ran from him for a bit until I got it together enough and decided it might be a good idea to run to the safety of my home. Now, you may be thinking that a 5 year old with a knife shouldn't be that scary, but it was, because he was a very mean 5 year old! I really think that he may have done some harm to us had we not run.

So, there's my first attempt at journaling on a random topic. Probably not my best work, but hey folks, it's been a while since I've written anything and besides, now you know a little bit more about me. :)

Blogging

So, I figured I would try this blogging thing. Aferall, everyone else is doing it. :) I resisted for a long time because it seemed like I didn't have anything to right about, no children which seems to be what most people right about. In any case, I decided that doesn't make me less blog-worthy. I still have stuff happening in my life and thoughts running through my head. Yep, for real I do. Ha. Anyway, so, here it is, my blog. I decided that I might start with doing journal writings like I used to have to do in English class that at the time I despised. I got online and googled journal topics and found this awesome website that has hundreds of journal topics. Of course, those won't be the only blogs that I write, but I thought it would be fun! So, hope you enjoy them as much as I hope I enjoy writing them. :)
