Because Rylan's birthday falls on or near Easter weekend, we will have the privilege each year to celebrate multiple times with all of our friends and family. Our first celebration this year was on Easter Sunday, March 31st. After church, we joined all the family at Papacita's in Longview for Easter lunch and Rylan's family birthday party. There were 28 of us total, and the restaurant always takes great care of us with a nice, private room upstairs thanks to my mother-in-law's service to them over the last 20+ years. <br />

We filled our tummies with yummy Mexican food and then begin the birthday celebration. Rylan enjoyed opening all of the gifts. He received so many wonderful items, but the hit was definitely the Spiderman 4-wheeler from Grandad Killian. He rode it around and around the long table for quite a while. Thank goodness it was the last gift he opened, or we might have lost his attention earlier. We thank all of our family for celebrating Rylan's 2nd birthday with us! </div>

The second celebration was on Saturday, April 6th at Pump It Up with all of our friends. Rylan loved Pump It Up last year when we had Kaelyn's birthday party there, but this year he loved it even more.<br />

Rylan, <br />
We are so thankful for the precious two-year old that you are! You are such a sweet boy who loves his sister unconditionally, even when she's taking your toys from you. We love your enthusiasm for sports and love that you are becoming independent and asserting yourself in all you do. Your vocabulary continues to amaze us weekly as you learn new things at school. We love you with all of our hearts and are so thankful you are our son! <br />
<br />
Love, <br />
Mommy and Daddy<br />

We talked about the special "Prince's Night Out" for several days with Rylan prior to the big event. On Friday, March 22nd, Robbie and Rylan dressed alike in their Alabama jerseys and jeans and headed to GattiTown to meet the rest of the boys. Rylan was so excited to dress like daddy and gladly waved bye to Kaelyn and I as they left the house. (Kaelyn was a bit disappointed to not be "allowed" for the boys night out.)<br />

Robbie said the night was great and they had a wonderful turnout. Rylan loved playing the bowling game with the balls. He's very into any sporting activity involving balls right now. Robbie taught him the phrase "No Girls Allowed, Only Boys" in the car on the way there. Apparently, Rylan loved saying it over and over and the other boys (Rylan is the youngest) thought he was hilarious. He says it often still today in his loudest voice possible. We laugh over and over because it's so precious. <br />
<br />
I count the Lord's blessings daily with our sweet little family. It's times like these when I'm especially grateful for a wonderful husband and daddy that takes time to plan and attend such important events with our children. These are the moments Kaelyn and Rylan will cherish forever. Robbie is such a special daddy and best friend to me, and I'm so lucky he chose me!

On Friday, February 1st, our church held their annual Princess Ball for dads and daughters. Kaelyn looks forward to this event every year and talks about it non-stop leading up to the special night. It's hard to believe that this was her 4th year to attend. Don't get me wrong...Daddy loves this night just as much as Kaelyn does. <br />
<br />
This year I decided to take Kaelyn shopping for her dress, so that she could pick it out. It was our first "real" attempt at a girls shopping trip, and I loved every minute of it. Kaelyn knew that she wanted a pink dress and she wasn't going to stop the shopping trip until we found it. And...she's Mommy's kind of girl, a sale shopper. The dress we found was just perfect for her and at a great sales price! She also insisted on pink shoes to go with it. Kaelyn is very particular when it comes to clothing and what she chooses to wear these days. <br />
<br />
Before they left for the dance, Daddy had two gifts for Kaelyn. One was a big heart with lots of little hearts all over it. This gift was just perfect for Kaelyn because she is really gotten into "hearts." Daddy made this gift all by himself. The second gift was a sweet little heart charm necklace for Kaelyn to wear to the ball. She loved it! We have one special Daddy! <br />
<br />
We met our small group friends and all the girls and dads took pictures together ahead of the big evening. It's always so special to see all the girls dressed up and loving on their daddys. This year, Robbie's brother, Bentley and precious baby Landry joined Robbie and Kaelyn for the special night. Kaelyn adores her cousin Landry and was excited she was going. It brought memories back of when Robbie took Kaelyn for the first time at 6 months old. <br />
<br />
Needless to say, Robbie and Kaelyn stayed until the lights came on at the end of the night. Even though her friends had left already, she wouldn't stop dancing until someone kicked them out. <br />

Or at least I feel it's a valid reason for my inability to keep up. Since the beginning of July, our family of four has experienced a season of change and craziness. So...get ready for lots of updates and 6 months worth of pictures! <br />
<br />
It started with the quick sell of our house (2 weeks from contract date to move out) and the vigilance of watching over the construction of our new home to ensure everything was done according to our plans. We moved into a two bedroom apartment and lived among boxes for over 4 months. In the beginning of August, I went back to teaching 8th graders and Kaelyn and Rylan started a new school. Actually, Rylan started school for the first time which is always an adjustment. With my return to work, Robbie and I have had role changes and more added to our plates. Then in November it all changed again. Our new house was completed and we moved in on November 17th. Along with the move of our family, Robbie received a job offer that we couldn't refuse and started his new position on December 3rd just after our big move. It is has been such an adventure, and we feel so blessed by the Lord for all the new beginnings! <br />

I am happy to say that we are settling in our new home and loving every minute we spend there. With the move, our kids struggled at times to adjust to the new environment or understand exactly our method of living temporarily among the boxes. Our kids have never had to share a bedroom, and I can say that they still have never shared a room because Kaelyn shared a room with Robbie and I instead. What fun times! Now that we are in the house, they are both back in their own rooms, and Kaelyn has moved into her big girl bed! My favorite room in the house is the kitchen, and I'm actually enjoying cooking again. It is definitely nice to have everything we own under one roof again. <br />

Teaching 8th graders has also been a blessing this year. I've wanted to get back to teaching for over a year now, but I was apprehensive about how it would affect our family time together and my ability to manage home and work. Some weeks are definitely better than others, but I definitely feel that being a mommy makes me a better teacher! I have some amazing students this year who are dealing with far bigger issues than my ability to manage my life. I have one sweet girl who has leukemia and will come to school after undergoing her morning chemo therapy treatments. She amazes me each day! I have another student battling Crohn's disease, and you would never know anything troubles him. I have also been touched by many students who see in my teaching my christian faith and ask me about my walk with the Lord. I even had one young girl ask me if there was anything she could be praying about for me. I am so thankful for "See You at the Pole" leaders and the ability for implementing christianity in the small ways in the public school environment. Now, don't get me wrong...there are days that I want to walk out and not return, but thankfully those days are few and far between. <br />
<br />
Kaelyn and Rylan are flourishing at their new school. Kaelyn quickly made new friends, and her teachers realized what a leader she is among her classmates. At a recent parent/teacher conference, Ms. Alicia said "Kaelyn is such a great leader and always has her listening ears ready." We are so proud of her learning and behavior at school. Rylan has also changed so much in the past few months. At 23 months, Rylan is talking with new vocabulary each and every day. He loves to learn new words and enjoys playing outside. Recently, Rylan had tubes put in his ears to help with ear infections stemming from catching so many colds. His little immune system has taken a beating since August, but we know it will help prepare him for grade school. He has also taken a strong interest in kicking and throwing balls around the room which makes Daddy happy. We adore these two precious children and their love for one another. <br />

Halloween was a lot of fun this year with Kaelyn and Rylan. We took the kids to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch and they loved seeing all the pumpkins and characters from television. We also enjoyed our small group's annual Trunk or Treat party and seeing all the costumes of our friends' kids. They are such a sweet group of kids who all love each other. <br />

On November 3rd, Kaelyn made her debut as a flower girl in my cousin, Bre's wedding. Kaelyn walked down the aisle like a little princess. Robbie and I were a little concerned that she might be too shy, but we were pleasantly surprised and she even smiled for most of the pictures. At the reception, Kaelyn and Rylan both enjoyed all the dancing and hanging out with the family. We are so happy to welcome Ben to the Perry family. Congratulations Ben and Bre! <br />

Robbie spent time preparing to run the Dallas Half-Marathon with my brother, Keeton on Sunday, December 9th. It was fun to have my family in town to cheer them both on to the finish line. In addition, Robbie is really enjoying his new job as in-house counsel for an oil and gas company in Plano, which is much closer to home. The recruiter originally contacted Robbie in early March about this opportunity and it finally came to fruition early in November. Robbie has been nothing short of amazing in his love and support for me as I transitioned from stay-at-home mom to mommy and teacher. I am such a lucky girl and love him more and more each day! I think Kaelyn and Rylan have enjoyed having more Daddy time also since he takes them to school each day and gets to spend an extra 45 minutes with them alone in the mornings. He says they have great conversations as they make their drive. <br />

It is definitely an exciting time in the Hudson household. We enjoyed the holiday season and getting to spend time with family and celebrating the birth of Christ. Christmas is always a fun time to be able to give to others and enjoy more time together. It was such a blessing to have two full weeks with Kaelyn and Rylan at home and meeting Daddy for lunch dates. <br />

With the beginning of the 2013, there are other exciting activities. My brother, Keeton, is living with us for the next few months while he completes his internship and prepares for chiropractic school. Kaelyn and Rylan love having Keeton around even as busy as he is. Kaelyn also started gymnastics in February. She loves every minute of it. Our kids are at such a fun age and we enjoy the time we get to spend together each and every day. <br />

After finishing Kaelyn's birthday party on June 30th, we hit the ground running. <br />
<br />
We finished off the month of June with Vacation Bible School at our church. The kids had a great week and I enjoyed being able to volunteer with some of my girlfriends. <br />

We thankfully sold our house after it being on the market for 5 months and moved out on Thursday, July 5th. Moving from our house with 3000 sq. ft. into a small 2 bedroom apartment has been quite the adjustment for our family, but we are making the most out of it and enjoying different aspects of apartment living. Kaelyn still asks Rylan if "he wants to go upstairs to play" and I just laugh and tell her "honey, we are upstairs." This is it until our new house is built. The kids are still asking for some of their toys that are in storage, but it will be like Christmas morning when we start unpacking in the new house. I will admit that the people who bought our house definitely made this whole process really awful for us, but now that we are on the other side of it, I'm choosing to move on (literally)! Our new home is scheduled to be done sometime in early November and we love driving by it each week to see how the progress is coming. I cannot wait! <br />

The week of July 15-21, Robbie was on vacation. We spent Monday and Tuesday here in town going to the Frisco Athletic Center water park and to the Dallas Zoo. The kids really enjoyed seeing all the animals and getting to feed some of them. It was our first visit to the Dallas Zoo and we liked it a lot. We packed our lunch and enjoyed the HOT summer day. Thank goodness for the spritzer fans that helped cool us off! <br />

On Wednesday after Kaelyn got out of dance class, we headed to Lake Limestone to spend the rest of the week relaxing with my side of the family. We enjoyed my aunt and uncle's lakehouse and the kids loved being outdoors for the majority of the time. After the craziness of the beginning of the month, it was so nice to relax and unwind. Since we are on the second floor of our apartment complex, we've had to teach the kids to walk quietly and not to jump around. The first thing they did when we arrived was dance, jump, and stomp as loudly as they could. Robbie and I laughed and let them go all at it! <br />

Things are pretty calm currently, but will begin picking up as I head back to work after three years of staying home. I couldn't be more excited to get back to teaching, but it's a little bittersweet too. I know that Kaelyn and Rylan will adjust and love their new school and this change will be great for all of us. More updates coming soon!</div>Kristen and Robbie Hudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046462931567024949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312750857848281725.post-85930267058457494582012-07-25T12:38:00.000-05:002012-07-25T12:38:11.560-05:00Our Little Girl is 3 Years Old!How is it possible that we are the parents of a 3 year old already? It seems like yesterday Kaelyn Elizabeth was a newborn. Time flies by too quickly! Kaelyn turned 3 on Friday, July 6th and is so grown up already. With our house being on the market, Robbie and I decided we would have Kaelyn's party away from home and Kaelyn made her pick, Pump It Up! The staff there makes it so nice and easy for everyone to enjoy themselves. On Saturday, June 30th, we celebrated with lots of friends and family with a Strawberry Shortcake themed party. We are so thankful for all our friends and family who joined us and helped make Kaelyn's day so special! <br />

At 3 years old, Kaelyn: <br />
<ul>
<li>Is very animated with her talking and body language.</li>
<li>Loves to dance all over the house. </li>
<li>Is such a great big sister to Rylan (she occasionally annoys him with all of her sweet kisses). </li>
<li>Has become much more social and often meets new kids at parks, etc. </li>
<li>Still LOVES, LOVES her Piglet (our collection has expanded to include 5 different sizes of Piglets with the biggest one as a surprise birthday gift from her daddy)</li>
<li>Is a VERY picky eater (she just prefers milk still). </li>
<li>Enjoys watching Strawberry Shortcake, Wow Wow Wubzy, and many more movies. </li>
<li>Loves Friday night pallet nights (with a movie and popcorn and all her babies).</li>
<li>Doesn't always take an afternoon nap (this makes mommy sad for a variety of reasons).</li>
<li>Loves the swimming pool and lake. She is a little fish! </li>
<li>Can sometimes be a little bossy (which is usually cute at this stage) and opinionated. </li>
<li>Enjoys joking with her daddy by saying something off the wall and then replies, "Just kidding."</li>
<li>Started her first dance class this summer called "Delicate Dancers" from the FAC and is excelling at it. </li>
<li>Loves to remind me that she's 3 now! (Whatever that entitles her to in any given situation)</li>
<li>Favorite thing to do is playing baby dolls in her room. </li>
<li>Sleeps with as many stuffed animals as possible including her 5 piglets. </li>
<li>She easily opens up a straw and pokes it in the right spot on her juice boxes. </li>
<li>Kaelyn is very independent and likes to dress herself and put on her shoes. Why is it that there is only a 50% chance of putting the wrong shoe on the wrong foot, but it happens almost every time? </li>
<li>Loves her trampoline and has new tricks she can perform for any willing watchers. </li>
<li>Enjoys swinging on her swingset; "higher and higher" each time.</li>
<li>Can ride her Radio Flyer tricycle as far as we will let her go on a walk. She is really fast, but sometimes struggles with hills. </li>
<li>Likes to color; we are working on learning to color within the lines. </li>
</ul>
Common phrases Kaelyn uses that make us laugh: <br />
<ul>
<li>We tell her "to stop talking back to us;" she replies with "mommy/daddy, don't talk to me behind my back." Completely missing the lesson. </li>
<li>We will forever hold in our hearts her facial expression and "member that daddy/mommy, member that..."</li>
<li>Recently with all the rainy weather, Kaelyn was a little scared of the thunder. I told her that when I was little her Pop and KK used to tell me that when you hear thunder it means that Jesus is bowling. Kaelyn loves the bowling at GattiTown so this really resonated with her. Now she walks around the house when it's thundering and yells "bowling ball, bowling ball." </li>
<li>Still pronounces all l's like d's; for example, Rylan is "Rydan" to her. But ironically, phone is also a "done."</li>
</ul>

Kaelyn,<br />
You make us so proud of you each and every day! You are truly a gift from the Lord and we are so blessed God chose us to be your Mommy and Daddy. We love your full body smiles and how you light up a room. We enjoy watching you grow, but often want to keep you smaller just for a little longer. You are a great big sister and bring so much fun to our lives. You make us all laugh with your little sayings and mannerisms. You are truly very special! We love you with all of our hearts!<br />
<br />

It is unusually busy in our little household, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Chasing around a toddler and a preschooler keeps a mommy on her toes at all times. But, I wouldn't have it any other way! <br />
<br />
Back in April, Mimi (Robbie's mom) achieved her goal of walking a 5k in a personal best time and we joined her in the fun. Robbie and Kaelyn signed up for a 1 mile fun run prior to the start of the 5k. It was precious to watch Kaelyn stretch with her daddy and get all ready for the run. Unfortunately, about 5 minutes into the run, a little girl Kaelyn's age fell and tripped in front of her which caused Kaelyn to get scared. Needless to say, we didn't finish the whole 1 mile, but Kaelyn put forth great effort in the beginning. <br />

Kaelyn's school ended on Tuesday, May 22nd with a splash party to celebrate the end of the year along with all the summer birthdays (all her classmates will turn 3 over the summer)! We were definitely sad to say goodbye to all of her friends and her wonderful teachers, Ms. Amy, Ms. Shelley, and Ms. Bonnie. In the fall, we will start at a new school for Kaelyn and Rylan at Kids R Kids Legacy when I go back to teaching! Lots of changes all around. <br />

Also, in the month of May, Kaelyn was enrolled in semi-private swim lessons with Harper Hughes. We love the Cusack Family swim school and were happy (most days) to drive to McKinney for our lessons. Kaelyn and Harper were a little timid in the beginning, but were champs by the last lesson. Kaelyn has since become a little fish in the water and more willing to try new tricks. After completing two years of parent and me lessons, Robbie and I decided we would teach Rylan this year on our own. We are working with him weekly at our neighborhood pool to help him feel more comfortable floating on his back, blowing bubbles, and getting his face underwater. He has also recently discovered how much fun walking under the shower faucet is and plays for as long as we let him. <br />

In other Hudson family news, we have had our house on the market for a little while now and picked out a new home nearby in Pearson Farms. It's exciting to say that they have officially started the building process on our new home. We expect to be moved in by early to mid-October. We are more than ready for our house to sell and suprisingly, ready to move into an apartment for a short time period. The process of "keeping the house show-ready" has really been wearing on me lately. It's not the easiest thing to keep a clean house with two active kids. My mother-in-law sent me a wonderful scripture to keep my spirits high and it has really been helping my attitude lately. <br />
<br />
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." -Phil. 4:6<br />
<br />
I do pray that the Lord help us find the right family to purchase our house soon. We have been blessed immensely to have such a wonderful house to bring our babies home to, and a place where we can grow together in love and faith. We will miss our first home, but are ready to move on to the next chapter. <br />

Taking away Kaelyn's paci was easy as pie. Success! Taking away Rylan's paci hasn't been quite that easy. However, we are now a paci-free family once again. A week ago today, we accidentally forgot to send Ry to bed with his paci. But, we were ready to take it away anyhow, so it worked out just fine. I did feel a little guilty that first evening and the next morning because he was feeling a little under the weather, but Robbie assured me that he'd be able to breathe better without it anyhow. So after several rough bed times and nap times, we've now been without the beloved paci for a whole week! Rylan is still adjusting and figuring out what he's supposed to do while riding in the car, when trying to go to sleep, and just any time he needs a little soothing, but it's better each day. As hard as it is to say goodbye to something that kept him as a baby in our eyes, we are thankful he's not toddling around with it and putting it back in his mouth after dropping it everywhere. We love you Rylan!Kristen and Robbie Hudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046462931567024949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312750857848281725.post-62471835028577535452012-04-20T14:43:00.002-05:002012-04-20T14:43:11.192-05:00Easter 2012On Thursday, April 5th, Kaelyn's class at SPP (Stonebriar Preschool Pals) had their little Easter party. Kaelyn absolutely loves her school and her wonderful teachers. Ms. Shelley, Kaelyn's new teacher, recently joined their class and helped throw a wonderful party complete with a playground egg hunt. We are going to miss SPP next year, but I know we will make great new memories at our new school. <br />

We spent our Easter weekend in Longview with all of our family. We had our annual Easter lunch at Papacita's (thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law) and then continued on to Nana's house for the egg hunt with all the grandkids and great-grandkids. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a great time. <br />

Rylan turned 1 year old on Wednesday, April 4th and I'm still trying to figure out where the last year has gone. Our sweet little baby boy is now a toddler. We had a small party at our house on his actual birthday followed by a big family party in Longview over Easter weekend. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Rylan's 1 Year Old Stats</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Weight: 22 lbs. (40%)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Height:</strong> <strong>29 3/4 inches (50%)</strong></div>
<br />
Rylan: <br />
<ul>
<li>Enjoys playing upstairs in the gameroom (he can't wait for the baby gate to open so he can crawl up the stairs)</li>
<li>Climbs anything and everything (definitely more adventurous than Kaelyn was at this age)</li>
<li>Loves to play with Kaelyn's kitchen; although, he just got a new grill that is putting that theory to the test.</li>
<li>Is constantly climbing inside the Cozy Coupe car and enjoys being pushed around in it</li>
<li>Eats just abearout anything put on his plate and even some of the food off our plate as well</li>
<li>Adores his big sister; he gets so excited when she gets in the car from school each Tuesday and Thursday because playing with mommy isn't near as much fun.</li>
<li>Waves hello and bye-bye to everyone he meets and occasionally "blows a kiss"</li>
<li>Is walking now (got to love delayed blog posts; he wasn't walking when I first started writing this post, but officially took first steps on Friday, April 13th)</li>
<li>Works puzzles (works might be the wrong term because he likes to dump them out on the floor and play with the pieces)</li>
<li>Hasn't discovered of a love of reading yet, but loves to dance and sing to music.</li>
<li>Says the words: "da-da," "uh-oh," and "hi" clearly (still working on "ma-ma")</li>
<li>Has the sweetest disposition and will usually go to anyone who wants to hold him</li>
<li>Is independent...Wants to try things out on his own even though big sister tries to help</li>
<li>Has a contagious smile; smiles with his whole body just like Kaelyn does</li>
<li>Is so very ticklish; Ry laughs hysterically when you rub his back. </li>
</ul>

On Friday, April 6th, Robbie, the kids, and I drove into to Longview for Easter weekend and to celebrate Rylan's first year of birth with all of the Perry and Hudson family. Nana graciously hosted all of us and we had a great time on Saturday afternoon eating lunch and enjoying the beautiful weather outside. It's just too difficult to pick just a few pictures.<br />

Part of the birthday gifts for all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren from Nana and Grandad is a new swing set. Each kid will get to unwrap the picture of the finished product on their birthday. Rylan is the first birthday boy, and Pop got started building it right away. It already looks great and we only enjoyed the swings and the slide over the Easter weekend. We can't wait to see what else is installed by our next trip to Longview. <br />

Here's his account of Team Psalm 40:2.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><u><strong>Psalm 40:2</strong></u></span> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">“He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Kylen and I had been training for Tough Mudder for months – the ultimate test of strength, endurance, and mental fortitude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>12 miles of mud, ice, hills, and water, along with 23 military-style obstacles designed by British special forces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tough Mudder is not a race—it’s an event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The goal is to complete the course with a focus on teamwork and camaraderie with your fellow Mudders.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">The event was held at the Freestone County Raceway in Wortham, TX, about two hours south of Frisco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kristen, the kids, and the rest of the Perry family decided to come with us to watch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our start time was at 11:00 a.m. so we left home at around 7:30, thinking we had plenty of time to get there and get ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, once we turned on to the county roads, about 5 miles from the venue, we realized that we were going to miss our start time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lines for parking were way too long and moving way too slowly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 10:15 a.m., Kylen and I got out of the car, grabbed our bags and started the 2.5 mile walk to the check-in tent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived just before 11, registered, got our body markings, checked our bag, changed into our matching camouflaged shorts, gloves, and skull caps, taped our ankles, and waited on the remainder of our crew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We figured that it would be pointless to start without them—they would never be able to find us once we were out on the course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully, they arrived shortly after we completed our preparations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We said our good-byes and climbed the wall to enter the Tough Mudder holding pen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once inside the pen, the official Tough Mudder hype man gave us a motivational speech, led us in the star-spangled banner, and prepared us mentally for what we would endure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the pageantry was completed and our adrenaline was pumping, we started the Mudder.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Overall, the course was much muddier than I had anticipated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recent rains had made the entire 12 miles soggy and wet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weight of the mud and water, along with the suctioning effect of the mud, made running extremely difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, there were lots of hills that were both steep and slippery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obstacles were spaced out about every half mile or so, which broke up the monotony of running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the obstacles were all very taxing physically and mentally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the obstacles included: climbing over walls, crawling under barbed wire, navigating underground tunnels, swimming through ice cold water, carrying heavy objects, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite obstacles were probably Mt. Everest (a quarter pipe ramp caked with mud), Funky Monkey (inclined monkey bars), and Walk the Plank (a three story climb and jump into the lake).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the scariest obstacles was Electroshock Therapy—a mad dash through electrical wires, some of which carried 10,000 volts of electricity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both got shocked pretty badly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Running through two feet of mud and water at the same time didn’t help much.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">After four hours in the mud, water, and sun, we crossed the finish line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an incredible experience, and we were both very proud to have completed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kristen, Keeton, and the rest of the crew completed a “mini-mudder” by following us to several of the obstacles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pictures from the event are below.</span><br />

I do still love to look back at the memories though, so I decided to do a quick update in one big post. Forgive me for all the pictures. I never can pick just a couple. Here's what has been happening with our Hudson family this past month. <br />

<u><strong>Rylan's First Haircut</strong></u><br />
On Thursday, March 1st, I took Rylan to see my hairdresser, April, to get his first haircut. He sat so still and loved the vibration of the hair clippers. He looks all grown up now! <br />

<strong><u>Hudson Spring Trip</u></strong><br />
The first weekend of March, we took our annual Hudson trip with Robbie's parents (Mimi and PawPaw) and Robbie's brother and sister-in-law to Lake Bridgeport. We had a nice cabin on the lake there and really enjoyed the great spring weather and good family time. We headed out early Friday morning and had lunch at a little diner called "Yesterday's Cafe." The food was amazing and plentiful. On Saturday afternoon, we drove into Decatur for a little downtown shopping. We never imagined that most of the places of business would close at 3 p.m., but we enjoyed the stores that stayed open a little later. Then we ate dinner at "Sweetie Pies' Ribeyes" (owned by "Babes' Chicken" which we love in Frisco). It was relaxing and fun to catch up. Thank you Hudson family for such a great time! <br />

<u><strong>Sesame Street Live</strong></u><br />
The Sunday we got back in town from our Hudson trip, my mom, KK, took us and the kids to see Sesame Street Live in Grand Prairie! Kaelyn has been an Elmo fan for the longest time and Rylan is following in his sister's footsteps. The show was amazing and so much fun! I enjoyed sitting back and just watching Kaelyn and Rylan glued to the stage. Thank you KK for great memories. <br />

<u><strong>Small Group Camping Trip</strong></u><br />
Our Frisco small groups took a camping trip to Lake Ray Roberts the weekend of March 23rd. We had such a great time catching up with our friends and watching the kids play outside together. The kids even caught a frog while there. Kaelyn loved being outdoors and camping in a tent for the first time. Robbie and I decided we definitely need to camp with our kids more. It will be easier once Rylan is walking though! (Thank you Erika for the pictures!)<br />

I think that just about catches us up to three other big events that I want to post separately about: Tough Mudder, Rylan's 1st Birthday, and Easter weekend!Kristen and Robbie Hudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046462931567024949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312750857848281725.post-65338866803096907002012-02-23T17:58:00.000-06:002012-02-23T17:58:44.673-06:00A Princess and Her DaddyOn Friday night, February 17th, Robbie and Kaelyn attended their third annual Princess Ball at our church. Robbie and I started talking about the date in advance with Kaelyn, and she had been anxiously awaiting the night for several weeks. This year she helped pick out her Princess Ball dress (which we also use for our Easter dress). When we were at the store trying it on, she stood in front of the mirror to make sure it "twirled" enough for her liking. The morning of the ball, she reminded her daddy of all the things he needed to wear for their evening date. She said, "jacket, pink shirt, pink tie, and shoes." When she woke from her afternoon nap, we began the task of getting the Princess ready by painting her toes and fingernails and then finished with curling her hair and putting on her bow. We got together with our friends to take pictures, but Kaelyn was acting shy and didn't join in with her friends for the pictures. Thankfully, I was able to snap a few of Kaelyn and her daddy though.<br />

Robbie said that they had a great time. She especially loved dancing on the stage where they had the screen flashing fun colors. By the end of the evening, Kaelyn wasn't quite slowing down, but instead finished off the night with sommersaults. They made it home around 9:15 p.m. and she was very excited to show off her dance moves. I think it's safe to say she had a great date with her daddy! She already asked if she can go again. A year away is a long time to wait! We are looking forward to next year's Princess Ball already. <br />

Lastly, I cannot forget mommy's sweet date for the evening. Rylan and I joined the other moms and sons for dinner at GattiTown. He was so tuckered out that we headed home and he fell asleep in my arms before turning in for the night. I'm looking forward to a date with him again this time next year. <br />

Rylan is 10 1/2 months old now (even though this post is his 9 month blog post) and is crawling and pulling up on everything in sight. It won't be much longer before he is walking. He is such a sweet little boy, and we are overjoyed to have him in our lives. Here are his 9 month stats: <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Height</strong>: 28 1/4 inches (50%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Weight</strong>: 20 lbs. 7 oz. (55%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Head</strong>: 18 inches (65%)</div>
<br />
<strong>Rylan loves:</strong> <br />
<ul>
<li>Playing with his sister until she takes away a toy from him and then he gets really mad (we didn't realize he had a little temper until the first time this happened)</li>
<li>Loves to walk behind his little turtle or CAT truck (he's itching to walk on his own, but just isn't quite ready)</li>
<li>Eats so much more than Kaelyn ever did (about 5 times per day for solids, and 3-4 times with nursing); his favorite foods are oatmeal with banana cereal, sweet potatoes with bananas and cinnamon, bananas, mandarin oranges, mashed potatoes, mum mums, yogurt, apple blueberry, and so much more. I'm really enjoying making all of his baby food and wish that I would have made Kaelyn's for her. </li>
<li>Squints his eyes and makes a funny "gasping-for-air" sound when he laughs </li>
<li>Loves to snuggle with mommy right before bed time</li>
<li>Still takes two naps per day (thank goodness because mommy definitely needs the down time)</li>
<li>Wrestles with our faces when you try to give him too many kisses (it's really funny to watch)</li>
<li>Waits anxiously and patiently for daddy to get home from work (he just might be a daddy's boy)</li>
<li>Loves to crawl after balls; he doesn't want to hold the ball, but wants to play chase with it</li>
<li>He's very patient when Kaelyn wants to put headbands or jewelry on him (he will probably be upset with us for not putting a stop to this when he gets older)</li>
<li>He's an escape artist when it comes to diaper changing time</li>
<li>Enjoys playing upstairs in the gameroom where he has plenty of space to crawl and explore</li>
</ul>

We cannot believe that he is quickly approaching 1 year old! Time really does fly by. Rylan, we love you with all of our hearts and cannot imagine what life would be without you in it. You are one special little boy who is loved by everyone you come in contact with. We know there are big plans in store for you as you continue to grow. The Lord blessed us when he chose us to be your mommy and daddy!<br />
<br />
Love, <br />
<br />
Mommy, Daddy and Kaelyn <br />

I cannot believe it's already 2012 and I haven't even posted an entry about the holidays. I guess that's what happens when you chase a preschooler and an infant around all day! So, 649 pictures later (not all posted), here is the end of 2011 update! <br />
<br />
From the beginning of November through most of December, both Kaelyn and Rylan fought constant colds. However, the kids got to go to Longview to spend some time with both sets of grandparents over the week of Thanksgiving which was super nice for me and Robbie. We've decided this is an annual tradition because we all love it. <br />

</div>Kaelyn also got to ice skate for the first time at the Galleria around the big Christmas tree. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical when Pop said that he wanted to take her because I figured it was going to be a lot of work on the two of us trying to hold her up, but I am happy to have been proven wrong! She was a little ice skating champ and loved it. Especially after aunt Karlene bought her some pink gloves to keep her hands warm. <br />

November and December were busy days at Stonebriar Preschool Pals also. Kaelyn has learned so much since she started in September and comes home to share with us each and every day. We had a Thanksgiving party at the end of November and a Happy Birthday Jesus party just before school got out for the Christmas holidays! She is making lots of friends and can't wait to get out of the car each morning to head into class. <br />

The holiday season is behind us and while it was a lot of fun, we are very thankful to be getting back in a routine and starting a new year with new blessings! 2012 is going to be a great year with lots of adventures. I also promise to be a better blogger. I've got to remember not to get so behind because it's much easier doing a little at a time.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After completing the Sprint Triathlon, I was looking for a new physical challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My employer, Behringer Harvard, is a big sponsor of the White Rock Marathon, so I decided to give it a try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I only had six weeks to transition from triathlon training to marathon training. As I would find out around mile 18, I probably should have had a little more endurance running training before tackling a marathon.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the best things about getting ready for the marathon was that Bentley decided to run the half marathon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really enjoyed all the training, strategizing, and commiserating with him in the weeks leading up to the run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would have been so much harder without him.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The night before the race, we all met at Olive Garden for our last carbo-loading meal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After dinner, Kristen and the kids went home, and Bentley, Lisette, and I drove to our hotel by Fair Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lisette’s company was also a sponsor of the marathon, and she was able to get us a hotel room and VIP parking for the event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to sleep around 9:00 p.m. and woke up at 6:00 a.m.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nerves definitely got the best of me that night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took a series of about fourteen 30 minute naps, but woke up refreshed and ready to run.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of my biggest fears leading up to race day was the weather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The temperature was in the mid-40s all day, which was perfect for running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it rained the entire day, and the occasional wind was pretty demoralizing at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The wet conditions would become a factor as the day continued.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We parked at around 7:30 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of the VIP parking, we were about 100 yards from the starting line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made our final preparations in the car, and we were ready to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At Lisette’s suggestion, Bentley led us in prayer and we began to make our way to our starting corral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we approached the starting line, one of Kaelyn’s favorite songs (Justin Beiber’s “Baby”) began to play, which of course made me think of her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the song was playing, I reached my hand into the pocket of the sweatshirt that I was wearing and found a small toy alien about the size of a fingertip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a toy that Kaelyn had asked me to hold for her a few days earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided that it was my good luck charm and put it in the pocket of my running shorts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After stretching and giving Lisette our excess clothing, we got in line for the start.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p>Bentley and I just minutes before the start! </o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF1fsk1EEWL2-xL1QcVxzWGFJpy86Je5uKGMsUwJMoZh6f5CpsTCDBA2lrcqJVe08JejRqjmnkBdh1w3oI2CCOEPW0T3Lwr9CCW-dfHo5FO9WTlFga0eeH3BTQ0eZvBtYeH8Nv5Rkh-mc/s1600/White+Rock+Marathon+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF1fsk1EEWL2-xL1QcVxzWGFJpy86Je5uKGMsUwJMoZh6f5CpsTCDBA2lrcqJVe08JejRqjmnkBdh1w3oI2CCOEPW0T3Lwr9CCW-dfHo5FO9WTlFga0eeH3BTQ0eZvBtYeH8Nv5Rkh-mc/s320/White+Rock+Marathon+2011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There were 5 starting waves (A-E) and three corrals in each wave (1-3).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bentley and I were in corral D-2, which was essentially near the end of a long line of runners stretching back from the starting line. The gun went off at 8:00—Bentley and I crossed the starting line at around 8:25.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the last minute, we put on $0.88 ponchos that we purchased at Target the night before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were both really glad that we did.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My adrenaline was really pumping at the start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully, the crowd was pretty packed, so that prevented us from overexerting ourselves at the beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our strategy was to run to each of the aid stations, which were separated by about 1.25 miles, then walk for one minute, then run to the next aid station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we were together, we were able to execute our plan almost flawlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the first three of four miles, we were having to bob-and-weave our way through the crowd, trying to avoid runners and massive water puddles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about mile 2, my shoes and socks were soaked—and that was the biggest negative for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It felt like I was wearing ankle weights and my entire body started to prune up from the wetness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carrying all the extra water weight definitely slowed us down and required us to burn more energy throughout the day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The atmosphere was really great at the beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The crowds were big and loud and all of the runners were fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bentley and I ran side-by-side almost the entire time, except for when one of us had to pick our way through a crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first 8 miles passed very quickly for me, and I felt really good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were just under a 10-minute per mile pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the 8.5 mile mark, the marathon and half marathon runners separated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t realize what a big deal this was going to be for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we approached the fork, I remember telling Bentley that I would be “running with him” mentally until the 2:20 mark—then he was on his own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hours later I would find out that he never had to run alone—he finished in 2:20 exactly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We gave each other a fist pound, said “Love you, bro” and parted ways.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">At around mile 11, the marathon route took me around White Rock Lake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where I hit my lowest point mentally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After talking with Bentley, we both seemed to experience an overwhelming sense of loneliness at about the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The growing physical pain, combined with the weather, losing Bentley, and the dissipating crowds, started to take its toll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At about the 18 mile mark, I had to abandon my “run-to-each-aid-station” strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From that point on, all I could do was run until the cramps started, and then walk until I could run again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never had to stop completely, but my legs—particularly my calves— would get very, very tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The slightest change in elevation, incline or decline, would wreak havoc on my lower body.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">At around mile 20, the loop around the Lake was finally over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The crowds began to gather again, and my mood greatly improved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point, I knew I could finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My body was definitely breaking down, but I knew I only had about an hour and a half left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The aid stations were definitely a big help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They each had water, Gatorade, fruit, candies, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some people set up make-shift aid stations in their front lawns, many of which had an interesting definition of “aid”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I decided not to run with ear buds or music because I wanted to “soak in all of the atmosphere”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were tons of bands, cheering spectators, and signs to provide a welcomed distraction from the monotony of running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My top ten favorite signs were: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">10.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Remember, You Volunteered To Do This”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";

font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Over the final six miles, I was only able to run about half of the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I was able to maintain a pretty quick walking pace the other half of the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the 24 mile mark, I finally discarded my poncho.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t believe how much colder I got when I took it off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I checked my pockets one last time to make sure that I had exhausted all of my supplements, and I found the little toy alien!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had forgotten all about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I held it in my right hand for the last mile, remembering all of the sacrifices along the way—I couldn’t have finished the race without the support of my family—I thought about them a lot on the course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As I came around the final turn, I heard “Come on, BRO!” in a familiar voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I almost fell down when I saw Bentley and Lisette cheering me on down the final stretch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ran over to see them before stumbling across the finish line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My first thought upon crossing that line was “We did it!”</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";

I was really dreading the process because of horror stories from friends. We had been practicing by letting Kaelyn "try" to potty at different times during the day. She never once went potty during our practice tries. But all of a sudden, she was ready that Thursday afternoon and we had it down with no accidents by Friday. It amazed me! I cannot take credit for her success because she did it all by herself, but I will say it was a great birthday gift (since my birthday was the 19th). Our little baby was now a big girl. It is also a nice feeling not to have two in diapers anymore (and a pay raise). With a bag full of M&M's and a few big prizes from the dollar section of Target, she was motivated and more than ready! After two full weeks of no more diapers, Robbie and I took her for a special treat to show her how proud we were. Kaelyn got to experience Build A Bear Workshop for the first time. Kaelyn loves all of her babies and stuffed animals, so we knew this was the best reward for her. However, we are a little terrified of visiting the mall now that she is aware that a place like Build A Bear exists. She picked out the perfect bear who is all pink with hearts on her feet and named her Pinky Bear! (The child is obsessed with pink) <br />
<br />
Kaelyn,<br />
When you look back at this blog or the scrapbooks when you are older, just know how you continue to amaze and show us how smart you are in all that you do! Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of you and the big girl you are becoming each and every day! We love you! <br />

This year is definitely no different! After five different Fall/Halloween parties and events, we were ready to hang the Halloween hat up until next year. <br />
<br />
The festivities started on Thursday with Kaelyn's Preschool Pals Fall party. It was so much fun for me and Robbie to attend the party with her and see her in action at her school with her friends. She comes home each Tuesday and Thursday after learning something new and we love it! She's really cute when you quiz her about anything she's learned. She gets very excited and shy! <br />

Friday afternoon, Robbie's company hosted a festival and trick or treating for all the kids. We got dressed in our costumes to attend. It was a lot of fun to meet Daddy's co-workers and participate in the costume parade. <br />

After the BH party, we had about an hour before heading out to the Stonebriar Fall Festival (put on by the church and Kaelyn's school). It turned out to be a chilly evening, but thankfully there were games inside and out. The festival was much larger than we expected, but a lot of fun. <br />

<div align="left">Finally, our Halloween festivities ended with a little trick or treating in the neighborhood on Monday evening with some friends. We didn't stay at it long, but it was amazing to see the difference in how much Kaelyn has grown in the past year. She had no issues saying "Trick or Treat" and waiting patiently or often picking out her piece of candy. Unfortunately, Daddy convinced her to get all skittles. Mommy should have taught her to look for the chocolate. Oh well.

Because he was training so hard, he inspired me to also accomplish a fitness goal. While my goal was much smaller in scale compared to his 250 meter swim, 16 mile bike, and 3.1 mile run, we began cheering each other on. I've never really enjoyed running but decided I would run the Frisco Fun Run 5K and check off an item on my bucket list. <br />
<br />
On October 16th, Robbie competed in the Monster Sprint Triathlon and beat all of his personal goals and training bests. I am so proud of him and how hard he worked to prepare for the competition. <br />

<div class="yiv1643628772MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Robbie's Results </u></b></div><div class="yiv1643628772MsoNormal"><b><u>Swim</u></b></div><div class="yiv1643628772MsoNormal"></div><div class="yiv1643628772MsoNormal">For Robbie, the swim was by far the most disappointing part of the race. All the participants got in a long line and entered the water one at time, with about 5 seconds in between each swimmer. They would swim down, touch the end, duck under the lane ropes, then swim back, duck under again, etc., making their way to the other end of the pool. Robbie looked great for the first 2 lengths—then disaster struck. He got caught up in a 3 person log jam and couldn’t get around the people in front of him. One of the people in front of him wasn’t even touching the wall at the end of each length—she was ducking under the ropes about 10 feet from the wall each time—which made it almost impossible for anyone to pass her. Then another guy in front of Robbie was doing a backstroke/doggie paddle hybrid. We could tell Robbie was frustrated, but thankfully he only lost about 1 minute of time.</div><div class="yiv1643628772MsoNormal"></div><div class="yiv1643628772MsoNormal">Projected Swim (5:15).

The kids and I couldn't be more proud of him! It was fun to be out at the event to cheer him on in his transitions from swim to bike and bike to run. <br />
<br />
Then on October 29th, I ran in the Gary Burns Fun Run in downtown Frisco, along with Robbie, his dad and brother. My goal was to finish the 3.1 miles running without walking and I'm proud to say I accomplished my goal while losing a few inches along the way. I finished in 32 minutes and I'm okay with that time considering the log jam at the beginning of the race. The week of the race we had sick kids, so I have to say it wasn't the easiest going into an early run on Saturday morning after a lack of sleep during the week. I have lots of respect for Mom's who train consistently to compete in events because sometimes being a Mom causes interruptions in a normal training schedule. <br />
<br />
Robbie's company is sponsoring the White Rock Marathon at the beginning of December and he will be running the full 26.2 miles. He is still working hard in his training and I'm so very proud he is my husband. My fitness has transitioned to attending cardio classes while still running three times per week (what can I say, I liked the weight loss results even though I didn't care for the running).Kristen and Robbie Hudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046462931567024949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312750857848281725.post-88038752459379442362011-11-09T09:35:00.001-06:002011-11-09T09:36:38.725-06:00A Cinderella Pumpkin PatchThis year Robbie and I decided to take the kids to the Dallas Arboretum for the Cinderella Pumpkin Celebration. Kaelyn has really gotten into princesses recently, and we always enjoy the beautiful flowers and greenery at the Arboretum. It did not disappoint! The weather could have been a bit cooler for October, but we live in Texas and that is usually impossible to come by. We had a nice family picnic while we were there and enjoyed spending some time together. <br />

</div>Where have the last 6 months gone? I cannot believe that on Tuesday, October 4th, we celebrated Rylan's 6 month birthday! It seems like yesterday, Robbie and I were holding him for the first time. He is such a joy to our family and loves his big sister so much! Robbie and I can make him laugh easily, but Kaelyn can just look at him and he laughs wholeheartedly. He is in full teething mode now and loves to have something in his hands to gnaw on at all times. Rylan coos and makes all kinds of new sounds now. I even heard a da and ga yesterday. He can almost sit up completely on his own and also eats cereal now. He's still not a huge fan of the cereal though, but I'm almost certain that when he starts eating veggies and fruits (which we got the okay for Thursday at the doctor), he'll change his mind about solid foods. <br />
<br />
<div align="center"><strong>Rylan's 6 Month Stats</strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Weight: 18 lbs. 9 oz. (80%; big boy!)</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Height: 27 inches long (75%)</div><br />
<br />
Sunday, October 2nd was also a very special day for our family. Rylan was dedicated at church that morning and all of our family and friends were there to support us! We were especially excited that Brice, our cousin, was in the audience for the dedication since he is Rylan's namesake! Rylan was especially precious because as our children's minister was talking about him, he decided to give a huge smile. We even thought he might squeal into the microphone!<br />
<br />
Rylan Brice, we pray daily for you and cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for you as you continue to grow in your christian walk with Him. We love you so much! <br />

Kaelyn got to play with the kids in her class and get acclimated to the environment. Then last Thursday, September 8th, Kaelyn started His Kids preschool at Stonebriar Community Church. She was excited that morning and rolled her rolling backpack inside all by herself. We put all of her things away in the bins and then I said goodbye to her and assured her that I'd be back soon to get her. She cried as I left, but I knew she was in excellent hands. (It also made me feel better that there were lots of cries throughout the hallways that morning.) When I picked Kaelyn up, her daily report was excellent. Her mood was happy (she missed mommy though), she ate most of her lunch, and she enjoyed painting and home living most. <br />

She will go each Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Robbie and I are so excited to see what all she is going to learn and how she will grow and mature. Each day she will work along with her classmates in learning centers, attend music class and chapel, and enjoy time at recess. The 2 year olds take longer naps (or quiet time) right after lunch. They end the last 15 minutes of class in play centers. We are so impressed with the school and the staff. I'm excited for Kaelyn and to also have a little bit of one on one time with Rylan too. <br />
<br />
This month's classroom units are: "I am growing, I am learning to help, and we have fun with friends." They also learn a bible verse each month along with a shape and color.<br />

</div>Over Labor Day weekend, Robbie, the kids and I went to Broken Bow with Pop and KK for a relaxing weekend on the lake. It was nice to relax in the water, do a little skiing, and enjoy time together. Being the oldest of four kids, it's a very rare occasion to be the only Perry kid around for a holiday weekend. I definitely missed my brothers and sister, but enjoyed the time with Mom and Dad and our little family of four. Kaelyn loved skiing and couldn't get enough of it and Rylan loved the swimming. <br />

I am so proud to say that last Monday, August 15th, we started weaning Rylan off the SimplyThick and by Wednesday afternoon, he and I began reteaching ourselves how to nurse. By Friday at lunch, he had it down perfectly again! We even nursed in a mother's room at the mall under the hooter hider! From the beginning, I was pretty emotional about not being able to nurse him because it had been so easy with Kaelyn and I longed for the bonding time with Rylan. I write this post with tears of joy and thankfulness to the Lord for allowing me to have this opportunity when it seemed unthinkable. The past three months have been long and tiring at times. The pumping, bottle feeding, and bottle washing consumed much of our days at home. I even learned how to pump and drive (which sounds kind of dangerous now that I don't have to do it anymore, but a mom has to do what is necessary) I can honestly say IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE to get to where we are today! I feel like I gained 3-4 hours back to my daily routine. Rylan is doing so well and I couldn't be a more proud Mommy. Thank you to our friends and family who have prayed over us and have listened to my frustrations! <br />

During the month, Kaelyn got to attend her first dress up party, we went on our family vacation, Rylan began eating cereal, and Kaelyn moved to her big girl bed. <br />
<br />
Kaelyn was the cutest little 2 year old at the dress up birthday party. She walked right in and put on her purple tutu with pink fuzzy shoes and joined in the fun with the older girls. She even got to wear make-up for the first time along with fingernail stickers! I must admit that our little 2 year grew up overnight. I loved the party because I got to sit back and watch all the action with a big smile on my face. I knew Kaelyn was very "girly," but experiencing all her squeals and sheer delight at the party helped me realize it even more. <br />

We left for our first family of four vacation on Saturday, July 23rd headed to Destin, Florida with the Blackstock family! Our trip had been in the works since before Rylan was born and we were all so anxious to get on the road and enjoy some beach time. We drove 2/3 of the way there on Saturday, stopping in Port Allen, LA for the night. We arrived in Destin on Sunday afternoon and the beach fun began! We stayed at the San Destin resort which was very family oriented. Kaelyn loved the sand. It provided hours of cheap (FREE) entertainment of sand castle building, burying daddy in the sand, and watering it. The kids all got along wonderfully and we got to enjoy some relaxing adult time as well. The resort had its own village called the Baytown Wharf and we spent several evenings walking around the village and enjoyed eating outside with live music. There were tons of activities for bigger kids (zip lining, a ropes course, etc.). One evening we got to see a fireworks show over the Wharf which was beautiful. It was Kaelyn's and Rylan's first fireworks show. Kaelyn kept saying "loud" so I'm not sure how much she liked them. After we got the kids down for bed each evening, we adults enjoyed sitting out on the balcony of our condo listening to the ocean and catching up on life. It was a great week and definitely not long enough. Robbie and I decided that the beach is our new favorite family hotspot because of all there is to do for our kids. Rylan will love it next year. We loved traveling with the Blackstock family as well! Kaelyn still asks for "Sarah Kate and Col." <br />

</div>After our return from Destin, Rylan had his 4 month check-up. He is growing big and strong each and every day. He has a very contagious laugh and smiles with his whole body just like his sister! We love watching our little boy grow both physically and in personality! He even has started a high-pitch squeal that is just hilarious to hear. He enjoys watching Kaelyn play and thinks she is pretty funny too. Rylan has started teething and enjoys nibbling on anyone who will let him. We go for his follow-up Barium Swallow Study on Monday, August 15th and are anxious to hear if we've made any improvements. We are hoping and praying we can at least backup on the thickener. Our pediatrician has started us on rice cereal so we can hopefully get hiim sleeping through the night (this Mommy is more than ready for an uninterrupted night of sleep). <br />

I know I speak for many parents when I say that Robbie and I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by and that we are now the parents of a two year old! In our eyes, Kaelyn is really mature for her age and such a joy to be around! She makes us laugh all the time (most of the time we have to hide our laughs from her so she'll know we mean business) and she is growing to be fearless in trying new things. This might be my favorite age thus far because Kaelyn minds pretty well and is just independent enough to help out. For her actual birthday, Rylan and I took her to pick out her own donut for breakfast and then as a family, we went to GattiTown for dinner and play. I think she really knew it was her special day and loved all the attention (especially when anyone sang the birthday song to her). <br />

On Thursday morning, we had Kaelyn's wellness check-up at the doctor's office. I was really impressed with her willingness to cooperate with our doctor. Unfortunately, she had to have a shot and then we had blood drawn. She wasn't as happy about that part of the visit, but still remained very strong (just a little sad)! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kaelyn's 2 Year Stats</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight: 28.4 lbs. (75th percentile)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Height: 34.5 inches (80th percentile; FINALLY)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Head: 20 inches (95th percentile; LOTS of brains)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Kaelyn at age 2: </strong></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;">Loves Piglet. He travels everywhere with us and she hugs him all night long as she sleeps. He's truly her best friend.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Enjoys watching a variety of television shows including: Backyardigans, Strawberry Shortcake, The Fresh Beat Band, Barney; she has even watched half of her first Disney movie, Tangled. (Mommy and Daddy can't wait until we have Friday night movie nights together)</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Has become quite the little fish. Enjoys the pool and the lake as well as bath time!</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Loves playing "hide and seek" with daddy. It's really funny to watch her watch Daddy while he looks for her. She doesn't want to miss a thing!</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">She is very independent and enjoys putting on her own clothing and shoes. She's even started playing dress up. The one downside is that she is still very much into her head-bands and often wants to wear them out in public. It would be okay if there were just one or two, but not eleven head-bands at once, literally. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Her baby dolls. Kaelyn walks her babies around like her Daddy walks her while imitating what Mommy says to Rylan saying "Shh...Shh...Shh."</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Has been jumping and dancing for a while now, but just now got off the ground in her jumping and has really learned how to shake her bottom in her dancing.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Enjoys cleaning (whose child are you?) and often helps Mommy with diaper wipes (so cute and frustrating at the same time)</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Starting to use complete sentences: She says "I do," instead of "Yes." Often says the phrase "I get it," and plenty of more really cute ones. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">Is learning her colors and ABC's. Kaelyn starts school in September and we are really working with her at home. </div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: left;">Saturday, July 9th, we celebrated Kaelyn's birthday with a party at Pump It Up! Ordinarily, this would not be a place for most 2 year old birthday parties, but Kaelyn attended our cousin Kade's party there in May and absolutely loved it! She couldn't get enough of all the slides and obstacle courses. We decided that it would be cost-effective and allow us to enjoy the party if we held it someplace besides our house. It was amazing! Robbie and I got to play and climb in all the bounce houses with her and the adults even had a competition in one of the obstacle courses! The staff there took excellent care of us and we didn't have to worry about much of anything which was super nice! We even had our own cameraman, Uncle Keeton, to capture the moments. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dear Kaelyn, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Your Daddy and I cannot believe how much you've grown this past year! You are such a beautiful little girl inside and out. You have grown to be a great big sister to Rylan, and he loves watching your every move. You're fun loving, fearless personality and smiles are so contagious. Your compassion shines through when you kiss Mommy and Daddy's boo boos without us asking and when we see you taking care of all your baby dolls. We are very excited to see what this next year holds as you start school two days a week and continue to grow! We love you with all of our hearts and can't imagine life without you. You are truly a gift from the Lord!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
