Addie Jane's dance recital

Last Thursday Addie Jane had her first dance recital. If you know Addie Jane you know she can be shy and hardly ever performs on command. Well, to say the least she surprised all of us for sure! There was probably close to 400 people in the audience which would be scary for me, and she danced just perfectly the whole time! We were so proud it literally brought tears to my eyes. She started her dance classes in August and it has been amazing to see her self confidence go up through these last few months. She had some great teachers!! We are so proud of her!! We had a great time!!

What we have been doing (picture overload)

Ok well still on my iPhone just haven't had time to look at my computer. Hudson will be one month on Wednesday. can you believe that?? I can't. I will be posting soon on all the new and sweet little things he has been doing. I feel like he is changing so much.
In past couple weeks we have been to a splash pad out in Hartselle twice, Florence 3 times, and the pool like every other day! It's been great! We have been able to hang out with Aunt Jec, D, and Harper a lot, which has been great for us! We got to make it for Sambo's 2nd birthday! It was Toy Story themed and as usual Haley made it awesome!! We also got to see aunt Julianna and the boys and get another picture of all 7 cousins! We have made the most of being off work all summer and thank goodness it is just the beginning of June. We still have a few things on our bucket list we have to scratch off but I know we get there. Here are a few pictures of our fun times in the last couple weeks!

One month old. (June 13)

Seriously???? I have no words. He is one month already? I don't have time to write a long post right now but in the meantime he are a few pictures of this adorable little huckleberry.( Jentrys nickname for Hudson)

Week 1: family of 5

Again posting from my iPhone. This should have been published May 20th but ya know I'm behind. We had Hudson's 4 day check up on Thursday, May 17 he was back up to birth weight 6.8lbs and he had grown half an inch. So happy to hear that he was gaining weigh!! I thought he was eating well but it's always nice to hear it from the doctor. He is sleeping a lot but the best part of that is he is sleeping 4-5 hours straight at night!! Amazing. He got upgraded to FC (favorite child). Haha! Only joking. We survived the first week too easily, even with Addie Jane and jack both being sick with very high fevers. Thanks to my mom and mother in law for their help watching them that first week!! It's been amazing.
His hair is blonde and crazy. Like a little bird. I see so many people when I look at him. I always see jentry because of his eyebrows, it's a jordan thing. Then, he has my dads chin and reminds me in some ways of my brother. He has long long fingers and toes so maybe he will be built like my little brother... tall and thin ( just so you know my little brother is 6'2 and weights about 180 and just to clarify I am only 5'1 and yes, it is not fair ha). I got excited i have to admit because Hudson's eyes look like they may be blue/green! Both my other children have beautiful big browns eyes, which I LOVE, but I really want one of my children to have some feature that looks like me! I mean I did give birth to them! Well here are pictures from week 2 with the little peanut (too small to be a nugget as of now).

Hudson is here! May 13,2012 6:18PM

Not even sure how to explain how happy i feel at this moment. Hudson is here, healthy and perfect. He was my mothers day surprise and the best present imaginable. Friday I went to my normal check up with Dr. Harris only being about 37.5 weeks I did not expect him to say that I was 4.5cm dilated and ready to go!! Such a shock because with Addie Jane and jack I went up to their due date so I assumed this pregnancy I would do the same. Ha. Saturday my mom and I went went shopping ALL day and got pedicures. We walked a a ton and I think that is what did it for me. Sunday I woke up and started getting everyone ready for church but as i was walking around I kept feeling like I was peeing on myself?? Strange feeling. Well, I thought about it and thought "oh no!" maybe that is amniotic fluid! Well I googled it and read a little bit and thought okay I will just wait go ahead to church then call Dr Harris and see what he has to say. After church i called the doctor. I assumed knowing Dr. Harris we would just tell me to come in on Monday and he would check me again. Well....I was wrong he told us to go ahead and go to the hospital. Really! Right now?!?!? wow. Anyways, I grab a few things, jentry drops the kiddos off, and we head down to the hospital. I STILL at this point think we are just gonna go in, he gonna make sure everything is okay and the we will be going home. NOPE nurse came in said "well, looks like it is delivery day!!!!", ummm, excuse me?! This is really happening right now? Ah. It was like dream. A really really great dream. I was so excited. At this point in the pregnancy I was getting pretty uncomfortable and feeling pretty terrible to be quite honest. We called our parents and they spread the word. Then came the actual delivery part...... It is really hard and almost embarrassing to put in words the actual delivery. I was 5cm my mother and mother in law were about to leave because my labor was slowing down a bit. Probably because of my AWESOME epidural. But anyways, they were about to leave, like literally walking out the door when Dr. Harris came in to check me again and said "it is push time." in the most laid back nonchalant voice ever. Well, I started laughing and jentry calls my mom and Jane back in the room. I am at the point talking to Jane (my MIL who is a nurse so I love having her in the room to help me out) and my mom and jent are walking up to the bed. I am talking to jane laughing because I was so tired and confused on the fact that he was coming that fast. Well I kept laughing and couldn't stop. Then finally, I pushed once and there he was.... Hudson cole Jordan weighing in at 6.8lbs 18 inches long and a head full of blond hair. Amazing. He brought me laughter and joy during labor now that's a sweet baby. He is tiny and perfect in every way. He fits into newborn or premie cloths. He has extremely long fingers. He looks like jacks twin with more hair. He has a dimple on his chin that is the cutest thing in the world. He nurses like a champ, better than both the other kiddos. Addie Jane is pro big sister and is loving him. Jack is great too playing with his buzz, woody, and jesse dolls he will eventually notice Hudson is here. We are so happy!

Please forgive me for spell checks and crazy layouts if there are any my computer is down so I'm blogging from my phone. I love me iPhone.

My crazy boy

Or...... Buzz Lightyear :) my mom bought these wings for Jack last weekend at a yard sale and now he basically will only take them off to shower.... And sometimes sleep!

Happy day ... Just pictures

I need to update on pregnancy, kids' rooms, and just funny things that have been going on with us but for now I just wanted to upload a couple of pictures!
