Hudson Glade Daley!!

Our adorable, healthy, baby boy! He joined our family on the 19th of September. I can't believe he's already 6 weeks old! I thought I better start posting some pictures of him since he is already a month old :)


September 19th, 2011
I actually went into labor on my own this time and was having contractions pretty much all day. They started getting more painful and closer together around 5 p.m. and my mom kept telling we should go to the hospital and I kept telling her I was fine. Yeah, not the best judgement on my part. Finally, around 6:15 I decided that it was time. Jason was at soccer practice with Afton so I called him and then my mom and I dropped the boys off at our friends the Fallentine's. Jason took Afton there too and then met us at the hospital. I checked into the hospital around 6:45 and then about a half an hour later Hudson was born. Good thing I didn't wait any longer!! No drugs and I survived again. The birth went great and he was perfect! He was born at 7:19 p.m. He weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long.

So precious!

He came out with tons of hair and super chubby cheeks. He looks so much like Logan when he was born.
Love his little short legs!
Our whole family!

Dax and Hudson. He actually wanted to hold him today. In the hospital, he had no desire to hold him. I don't think Dax likes hospitals very much. He was worried about me when I was there.

It's so cute to see them asleep.

An awesome double chin
I had to take this one of Logan. He had fallen asleep on the ground and had marks from the carpet on his cheek and a little plastic price tag thing stuck to his face. So Funny!
Emma and Hudson
Hudson's all natural faux hawk. Right after we wash his hair it stands straight up. My mom said that's what my hair did when I was a baby too. My dad use to call me "butch" because of my crazy hair.

Had to show off the AC/DC shirt
Afton and Hudson. she is such a great big sister and an amazing helper. She loves holding him.


Hudson's Blessing
On October 9th we blessed Hudson. Jason blessed him in our ward and both of our parents were able to be there so it was extra special. Those who stood in the circle were Jason, Bishop Williams, Mike Daley, Rex Daley, Rick Phillips, Jeff Black and Layne Campbell. I do have to mention one part of the blessing. When Jason was blessing him he said something about Hudson's brothers and sisters, so of course I caught the "sisters" part and mentioned it in my testimony that I guess we're not done having kids because apparently there is a little girl still waiting to join our family :) I don't think Jason liked that too much.

My mother-in-law got his cute little blessing outfit and shoes and made his super soft blessing blanket. She is so awesome!
Lovin the converse
His clothes were just a little big since he was only 3 weeks when we blessed him. We decided to bless him that early because my dad was driving out to pick up my mom and we wanted to have them here for the blessing. My in-laws flew out for the blessing as well. It was so nice to have them here for such a special day.
Get me out of these clothes already!

I had to get some pics of the kiddos with their grandparents. I just wish I could've got them all together. The two younger ones were sleeping and then Afton and Dax left for school.

October 19th. One Month Old! He started smiling today. It was so cute! I need to capture it on camera.
Love this face that he is making!

HaPpy HaLLowEen!!

I can't believe that Halloween has come and gone! We had a great time this year. We started off with the Thompson's annual Halloween bash and then our ward's Trunk or Treat and finished with some trick-or-treating on Halloween. The kids had a great time and loved that they got to dress up three different times. Afton and Dax have been reading the Harry Potter series with their dad this year and wanted to be character's from the book. Afton was Hermione and Dax was Ron. Logan really wanted to be Scooby Doo but we couldn't track down a costume to borrow so he went with Boba Fett from Star Wars instead. It worked out great because he already had all the pieces to the costume. And Hudson was a cute little tiger for our trunk or treat and then a cute cuddle monster for Halloween.


HALLOWEEN:
This year we went to our friends, the Black's, neighborhood to do our trick-or-treating. It was really nice. There weren't a lot of people and the kids had a blast!

Dax and Cael
Logan had to bring his "motorcycle". It actually worked out nicely. We didn't have to wait at all for him. He was usually in front leading the way.
His friend Grey had to bring his bike too.


At the Thompson's Halloween Party:
Emma also as Hermione, Boba Fett, Ron and Hermione again. My mom is so awesome and made Afton and Daxon's robes for their costumes. She is so amazing! One of these days I'll be able to sew like her.

Their friend Caleb was Harry Potter so we had to take a picture of all the wizards.

Hudson with all of his little buddies. This is how we decorated the back of our car. He fits right in there with them except when he got mad and started crying.
