It's a

GIRL!!!! For those of you that don't know already. We are having a girl named Meredith the beginning of June. She is the answer to Cameron's prayers. We think he's true motive in wanting a sister is the fact that he thinks that he won't have to share his toys. I'd post an ultrasound pic, but all of them look like blobs. None of them came out clear. We are praying that Meredith and mommy will remain healthy throughout the rest of the pregnancy.

18 months means time for a big bed

On the 2nd of January, Hudson turned 1 1/2. Since Hudson is a big boy now, we decided that he was ready for a twin size bed in a room with his big brother. We had Grammy come over to watch the boys so Dan and I could make over the room. We painted the room, put together new beds and put everything back together for the boys new construction truck room. The following Monday, Hudson got to try his new bed out for the first time at naptime. He didn't stay in it for long. We had a battle of wills for almost 2 hours. I eventually won. That night Hudson did great and Dan thought I made the whole afternoon up. After that, each day got a little easier and now the boys are doing pretty well. Now we can get the nursery ready for our new little one.

Big 3 - 0 !

Sunday, the day before my birthday, Cameron, Hudson and Dan decided to throw me a surprise party that I happen to know about. So Sunday night they went home before I did to get everything ready. When I got home, they met me at the door with a small cake with lots of candles. They sang happy birthday and showed me the birthday decorations. They had a birthday banner and mickey mouse decorations. Cameron picked out a mickey mouse yoyo as his present to me, but that wasn't the only present they got me. Dan took Cameron shopping and they picked out some pretty silver and gold earrings from James Avery.

So it never hit me that I was turning 30, I just enjoyed getting to spend the weekend with my sweet boys. Hopefully, it won't hit me for a while that I've turned 30.

Christmas in Tulsa

The day after Christmas we began our trek up to Tulsa. The roads were clear until about 45 minutes outside Tulsa and then we were bouncing and moving pretty slow until we got there. All of us were very happy to get out of the car and to get to see the family. We all got together and ate a yummy Christmas dinner. Then we went for round 2 of Christmas. It was unbelievable how many presents were under the tree. The boys and us were extremely spoiled.

On Sunday, church was canceled because of road conditions so we all worshipped as a family at Betty and Bruce's house. It' was so great to be able to share this experience with our family. After lunch, Hudson went down for a nap, but Cameron, Dan and I went outside to play in the snow. Uncle Drew came out to join us and we all had a snowball fight. It was a lot of fun, but very cold. Cameron ran inside when it got to cold for him to get some hot chocolate before taking his nap.

The rest of the time we were there we played, ate tons of food, went shopping and spent a great time with family. We hated to leave everyone, but at the same time the boys were glad to get back to all of their new toys and to their own beds.
