Splish Splash...it's a Birthday Bash!

Happy Birthday Sully!

We celebrated Sully's First Birthday this past weekend with a big Rubber Duck themed water party!  We had perfect weather and so many wonderful family and friends in town to celebrate.  It was a great day and judging by the picture above...the birthday girl totally enjoyed herself!

Month by Month

We went with a rubber duck theme and I found some great decorations and invitations on Etsy.  Here are Sully's Month-by-month pictures!  She changed so much!

Decorate your own Rubber Duck Station

We also had a decorate your own rubber duck station.  The kids (and adults) loved it...even if it did get a little messy!

Super fun Pool (Thanks Iffy) and Rubber Duck Beach Balls everywhere

We had duck beach balls and all sorts of pools and sprinklers going.  

These two had a blast

As you can see, Reed and Hudson had a blast in the pool that Macy gave Sully for her birthday. It was a huge hit!

SueSue and I took on a Pinterest Project...turned out pretty cute

My mom and I decided to make the cake this year and I found a super cute idea on Pinterest so we decided to tackle it.  It turned out way cuter than expected and we even made a little mini-version for Sully's smash cake!  Nothing like some layer cake and icing with sprinkles, surrounded by kit-kats to get the party started!

Cake time

Sullivan liked the icing but didn't get much of the cake!

She got it everywhere...yet ate very little!

She barely ate any but somehow managed to get it everywhere.  When she realized how messy she was she got very update and that was the end of that!  Haha.  She did better than Hudson though.  She didn't even touch her smash cake!

Presents!  Really the boxes are the best part!

After the guests left, the girls and the cousins decided to go back to the neighborhood pool for MORE swimming and then we came home to cook-out and open some presents!  Hudson did most of the unwrapping but Sully loved all her gifts.  Of course she liked the boxes even more!

See everyone next year!

We opened the rest of the presents on Sunday morning and she got so many wonderful things.  We are so blessed to have such awesome friends and family!

 

It was a great weekend and here are even more pictures of the birthday bash!

One Year Old

One year old!

Sweet Sully turned ONE yesterday!  She is such a big girl now and it is amazing how quickly she has started doing things in just the past few weeks. 

 

Our past month was full of summer time fun! 

 

Our Neighborhood pool opened the middle of May so we spend just about every free minute we have over there with the Bells.  As you can see Ava Grace and Hudson are total fish!  They love the water!

Pool time!

Aunt Iffy invited us to go see Joel Crouse play at Dave and Busters a few weeks ago also and it was a blast.  If you don't know him...look up his new single "If You Want Some" on YouTube...Hudson and Sobes LOVE it and highly recommend it.  The girls loved it and danced the whole time!

Rock Stars

We were supposed to go to Indiana to see Bo and Jen get married but wouldn't you know it both girls got ear infections the day before we were supposed to head out so Tom went without us and we hung out at home and took our antibiotics...haha.  Luckily, 2 weeks later we had our first plane trip planned!

 

Hudson was so excited to ride on an airplane for the first time.  We were a little concerned about Sobes, only because she is in the walk/crawl phase and holding her for 2 hours was going to be interesting...but they both did amazing!  On the way to Austin, they both had some snacks and took naps.  On the way home, Hudson napped and Sobes just looked out the window.  We couldn't have asked them to do any better!

First plane trip

We had a blast spending our Memorial Day in Austin, TX.  We went to visit the Boyles whose girls are about 6 months apart from our girls in age.  As you can see, Hudson and Blake were best buddies from the minute we arrived.  We did some swimming, toured the Texas athletic facilities, ate some great food and played at a huge park in Austin with playgrounds and a train ride!

Heisman pose??

Here is a group shot at the Texas football stadium....it was like herding cats so this was the best we could get.

The girls...best buddies!

Apparently it never rains in Austin...until we went to visit.  So we had to come up with some indoor fun and we found it!  We took the big girls to the Trampoline place, which Hudson LOVES and Blake had never been to.  They had a blast jumping and going in the inflatable slides and obstacle course.  It was awesome.

Trampoline time

We headed home on Sunday but had to get in one last swim!  These two were so much fun to watch and I can't wait to see them grow up!  I just wished we lived closer!!!

Last swim before we leave

This past weekend we celebrated Sully's birthday with just our family.  Her big party is next weekend but we went ahead and gave her her presents and let her have a giant sugar cookie (Thanks again Aunt Laura...she loved it).  As you can see she loves her new bouncy turtle and thinks it is so funny.

Sobes loving her birthday present

Pretty sure the cookie was a HUGE hit also!

And her Birthday cookie

We spent her birthday at the pool of course!

Happy Birthday Sully!

As you can see, we have stayed busy as always. 

 

Here is a little update on the girls:

Sully:

- We had her one year check up today and her new stats are: Height 31in (95%) and Weight 23 lb, 5oz (80%)

- She walks everywhere now.  If she gets in a huge hurry she will crawl but she always starts out walking

- She is still a great sleeper.  10-12 hours a night plus at least one nap

- She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to eat.  Literally, we put it on her plate and she eats it.  Stir fry, bar-b-que, brussel sprouts, any type of fruit, steak, pork, chicken, tacos, etc.  She is an eating machine

- She has also started to dance.  Her go-to move is the twist but she also has a little bounce she does

- She is starting to say words which is fun.  Some of her favs are dog, hat, mama, dada, bath, and hi.

- She also tries to jump now.  It is so funny.  If you tell her to jump, she will bend her knees and try to jump up...she doesn't leave the ground but she is so proud.

- She loves to clap!

 

Hudson:

- Crazy as ever

- Barely Sleeps

- Still a good eater but not quite like her sister

- She is headed to her very first soccer camp starting June 10.  She will go for an hour a day for a week!  We got her some super cute cleats and she is very excited.  We'll see what happens when she gets there though!

 

I guess that is about all.  I will post another update next weekend after Sully's party as I'm sure we will have a ton of pics and I can't wait to see her dive into her cake!!

 

Here are the rest of the pictures from our last month or so:

Eleven Months

Eleven Months

Well the countdown is on!  Less than one month until our little Midgey turns ONE!  I can't believe it!  Time has flown by for sure. 

We had a pretty low key month which is good b/c we have 2 out of town trips planned for May including the girls' first airplane ride to Austin, TX for Memorial Day!

To start off this month we celebrated Tom's birthday.  The girls and I took him out to dinner Friday night at his favorite restaurant - The GerstHaus.  Hudson of course loves it too b/c like her Daddy she loves Kielbasa and Polka Music!  The next day we convinced Tom that we needed to go to Sky High and do some trampolining - which was not easy b/c all he wanted to do was work in the yard.  Luckily we got him there and he walked into his FIRST Surprise birthday party ever!  He was so shocked, it was perfect! 

Tom and I did get to enjoy some time away without the girls.  We headed to Greenwood, MS for our good friend Blewett's wedding.  It was so much fun!  Our whole group of friends was back together and without kids for the first time in YEARS!  I think some of us celebrated like we were 25 again...haha!

We also enjoyed the Kopf's Annual Cornhole Tournament.  Sadly Tom didn't bring home the trophy this year but we had a blast and so did the girls!

Other than that, we have just been playing outside in the nice weather, working, going to school and coaching soccer.  Hudson goes with me every week to help me coach and we are hoping to sign her up in the fall!

So tall!

Speaking of Miss Hudson.  She is still as wild and crazy as ever.  She had her last gymnastics class last week as we are taking the summer off to spend time at the neighborhood pool and play outside!  She has grown so much as you can see above - over 2 inches in 6 months!  She still talks up a storm and never sleeps or stops moving!  But she is getting so grown up and is so much fun to be around!



Trouble!

This little on on the other hand...is Trouble!  She is hilarious and goofy but B.A.D.  She can walk but chooses not to.  I think she knows if she walks we will stop carrying her everywhere.  She loves getting into Hudson's stuff and is pretty tough.  She and Hudson play rough and neither seem to mind.  She still LOVES to sleep.  Just last night she slept for 13 hours!  She also still LOVES to eat.  I am embarrassed to list what all she ate last night but let's just say she cleaned her own plate and Hudson's too!

We went to the doctor earlier in April and everything was great.  She has grown quite a bit but is still a midget compared to Hudson.  She was 29 3/4 inches long (90%) and 21 lbs, 7 oz (75%).  I am shocked she doesn't weigh more with the way she eats but I guess she burns it off with all the crazy crawling she does!

Already playing together...good buddies

The girls have already started to play together which is so much fun to watch!  I know the more mobile Sully gets, the more they will do together.  Sully had a blast the other night riding in the wagon with Hudson Pulling.  She was just laughing the whole time.

See you next time!

That is about all for now.  We will have lot of new pics and updates next month as we will have gone to Indiana for a wedding, Austin to visit the Boyles and Websters and celebrated Sully's First birthday!

As always here are the rest of the pics from our last month or so:

Ten Months and Easter

Ten Months Old!

I can't believe that Sully is only two months away from being ONE YEAR OLD!  This year has flown by for sure!

We had a great March and even though we didn't have much planned, we sure did stay busy!

We took another fun trip to the mini-horse farm and the girls loved it.  Hudson was very into it this time.  She brushed the horses, collected eggs and fed the goats.  But her favorite thing to do was chase the chickens.  It was hilarious!

Hudson also had her first trip to the dentist.  We went to see Dr. Nathan (who is one of our friends) and it went so well.  First of all, his office is amazing.  I kind of want to go there.  It is like walking into a theme park and everyone there knows how to make balloon animals and Disney is on every tv.  Hudson did amazing.  She sat in my lap and let them brush her teeth, put fluoride on them, floss for her and even pick at them with one of the little metal tools.  She didn't bite anyone or cry!  I was so proud of her!  We even celebrated by having a donut at Dunkin Donuts - just to make sure we keep Dr. Nathan in business!  Haha.

We took another couple of trips to the zoo of course and this time Hudson fed the Lorikeets.  If you have never been to our zoo, they have a lorikeet exhibit where you can go in and feed the birds as they fly all around and land on you and everything.  One even landed on Hudson and she just laughed.  Sully went in too and had a blast.

Tom had a weekend trip to Vegas so the girls and I had a whole weekend to ourselves.  We hit up Sky High Sports (our favorite place) and did some serious trampolining and also went out to Opry Mills to check out the fish at Bass Pro Shop and play on the indoor play area in the mall.  I also let them go into the Disney store - HUGE MISTAKE!  Hudson was in Disney overload!  Luckily we walked out with just a Minnie Mouse purse that was on clearance!  Haha.

Sister fun!

Both girls are getting so big and always on the go.  Hudson is our little daredevil and seriously does not stop moving.  Here is a little clip of her newest trick on the play mat at the zoo.  All that gymnastics is paying off...haha!

 

Sully is not walking on her own just yet but she wants to so bad.  She finally resorted to using the step stool as a walker so she could get around.  I would say any day now she will be up and running!

 

Sully has mastered standing on her own and has good balance!  Here she is wearing her sister's tutu...Hudson must have been asleep b/c she rarely let's Sully wear her princess items!  Haha.

Sully can stand...and almost walk!

We took a trip to Atlanta both so Tom and I could work but also for Easter.  It is always fun to go down so Hudson can see her cousins...she is mildly...ok VERY obsessed with "her boys" as she calls them.  We had a great extra long weekend full of tee ball, egg hunts, trampoline time and even got to celebrate Tom's birthday a little bit early.  MamMam came up to visit and I just love watching she and Hudson play together.  MamMam is 93 years old but is not afraid to get down on the ground and play babies or follow Hudson around the house for multiple tea parties, etc.  It is so sweet.

 

Best Buddies!

The day before Easter we were treated to a surprise at my brother's house as PJ, my oldest nephew, planned a big egg hunt for the whole family.  He stuffed over 80 eggs with age appropriate goodies (Cheerios and puffs for Sully and Candy for everyone else) and hid them all over the yard.  He even labeled them with names so everyone could only pick up their eggs!  It was so sweet of him and so much fun!  Here is Sully showing off her find!

Sully found an egg

On Easter Morning we headed to church and had a big Easter Brunch with everyone.  The bunny found the girls all the way in Atlanta so they got to go through their baskets and play with all their new toys and goodies.  Here they are watching SueSue play with the noise maker thing...they both thought it was hilarious!

Easter 2013

The Easter Bunny even brought a treat for the pups and good thing since Mays was so sweet to pose for this annual picture....She wouldn't mind if we lost those ears at some point!  Haha.

Till next year from the sweetest Easter Bunny I know!

Here is a little update about the girls:

 

Sully heads off to the Doctor next week for her check-up and shots.  I don't know her new stats but with as much as she likes to eat...I am pretty sure she is packing on the pounds.  She LOVES big girl food and we have stopped baby food all together.  She literally eats anything you put in front of her (except avocados) and especially loves steamed broccoli. She has 8 teeth now so she can chew all that big girl food! She can stand up on her own and really wants to walk.  She thinks about taking a step here and there but is not quite sure about it yet.  She loves to wave bye-bye and has been saying da-da and ma-ma a lot lately.  She doesn't seem to want to learn any sign language b/c that just slows down her eating...whenever I try to get her to sign "more", she just yells at me to get the food in her mouth...so that is a work in progress.  She loves to sleep...I mean LOVES it. At night she goes from about 8pm to 8:30am...sometimes longer.  And is good for a nap or two during the day...man I wish Hudson was like that too!

 

Speaking of Hudson...she is just as crazy as ever.  She still doesn't need sleep and goes down anywhere from 9-10 at night and is up and at them bright and early...sometime 5:30 or 4:30 or on a good day 6:30.  She is getting better about naps but can go without one!  She is back at her old school, The Academy, two days a week and loves it.  She stays home with Jen and the babies the other 3 days.  She is still taking gymnastics and has started helping me coach my little 8/9 year old soccer team.  She loves to be out there with the big girls and always has to take her ball with her.  We went to the doctor the other day for an ear infection and they weighed her and she was well over 33 lbs and just taking a rough height measurement at home she was over 38 inches tall.  So she is growing like a weed!

I guess that is all for now.  Here are some pictures from our last month's adventures!

Nine Months Old

Sully is NINE Months old!

Nine Months Old

We didn't have much planned for this month other than Valentine's Day but somehow we managed to stay super busy!  We spent a lot of time outside (when the weather was nice).  As you know in Tennessee, the weather is a little bit insane and can literally drop 30 degrees in a day.  So we soaked up as much sunshine as we could.  As always we played with our neighbors (Ave Grace and Caleb) and who knew how much fun a box could be!  Although, I think Tom was a little sore after pulling all three of them around the yard for about an hour!

Fun with a box

 Valentine's day was a lot of fun of course.  The girls got a few little goodies and of course dressed up in their heart outfits!  And any day that Hudson gets play dough is a good day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Oh Sully

Since we have had several really cold weekends, we have been trying to stay busy indoors.  We have taken numerous trips to Sky High (the trampoline place), gone swimming at the Y and also hit up the Science Center.  Now that Sully is mobile and into everything, she had a blast on our last visit.  Hudson and Tom watched the Elmo Planetarium show, so Sully and I spent some time in the toddler area.  She loved this table and really loved the giant abacus they have.  Anything she can pull up on makes her happy really! 

Hard work at the Science Center

We have also spent some time in our playroom on our School bus.  They both love it and I love this picture.  They are finally starting to play together and Hudson is so good at making Sully laugh! 

Sisters!

 We have also had fun this month playing with good friends.  Uncle Jim, Aunt Grace and Baby Mills took us out to the mini-horse farm which was so fun!  We also got to celebrate two birthday...Baby Mills turned 1 and Tennyson turned 2.  Since they share a birthday, we a had a full day of parties!  As you can see below...Tennyson's princess party was a big hit!

I think we all know who runs this house

 Sully is getting so big and grown up.  She loves to eat real food...I mean LOVES!  Anything you give her she will eat.  I think some of her favorites have been eggs, pumpkin muffins and any kind of cooked veggie...especially peas!  She now has 7 teeth - 4 up top and 3 on the bottom.  She is a crawling machine and pulls up on anything that sits still long enough.  She is trying so hard to walk but no such luck yet.  Although it can't be far away!  We go for her check-up next month so I will update her stats then...but judging by the way she loves her food...she has to have gained a lot of weight...haha!

Eggs are serious work!

That's about all for now.  We have a busy busy March planned so hopefully we will have lots of pics!  Hudson says:

Peace out 

As always, here are some pics from our month of fun.

Eight Months Old

Such a Happy Girl

Sully had her check up after her Seven Month birthday so I thought I would just post her new stats here.  It looks like she is going to be our long and lean girl.  She is 28.25 inches long (95% percentile) but only 17 lb, 13.5 oz (60% percentile)! She is such a big girl now!  I can't believe she is already 8 months old!  She is loving eating all her baby foods and has even started eating graham crackers...which she loves.  She is pulling up all over the place and wants to walk so badly.  She can sort of walk holding on to the couch or ottoman so I know we aren't far away from chasing her all over.  She is a great sleeper and typically does 8:00pm to about 7:00am.  So we are lucky there!

Hilarious!

 I had to add this picture b/c I feel like this is going to be our life...Hudson crying and Sully laughing!  Hudson is still as crazy as ever.  She is taking gymnastics every Monday and starting at the end of this month she is headed back to her old school, The Academy, twice a week.  I know she will love being back there and hopefully it will help wear her out...she seriously never runs out of energy.  She rarely sleeps, typically 8:30pm-5:00am at night and some days won't even nap!!!  She is our wild child for sure!

This month was full of fun outings and events!  It started out with a trip to the Globetrotters game.  Thanks to Aunt Kelly we had extra tickets and took our fun neighbors, The Bells.  As you can see, the kids had a blast...I am not sure they knew a basketball game was going on but it didn't matter.  They danced, played ring around the rosy and snacked the whole game.  It was so much fun to watch!

Globetrotter Fun

I had to add this picture b/c it is adorable and it shows Sully's smile.  This is literally her normal smile.  She can't just smile like normal people..her whole face lights up and this is what happens!  Love that sweet girl!

Sully loves the Globetrotters....I love this smile!

 Our next fun outing was a trip to Atlanta.  I had a bachelorette party down there so the whole family loaded up and had a long weekend.  We celebrated my birthday, hung out with the cousins and got to watch PJ and Charlie play basketball.  It was so much fun!  Of course anytime Hudson gets to see the boys she is happy, so it was worth the trip down!

The weekend after Atlanta, we took the girls to the Ringling Brothers Circus.  It was a blast.  We went early and went down on the floor for the All-Access pre-show.  We got to see the performers up close and much to Hudson's excitement we got to see Kelly Anne, the elephant, up close and personal.  Hudson was so pumped!  Once we got to our seats Hudson stood up for most of the show and just danced to the music.  She didn't love the clowns but was very into all the animal acts.

Hudson...always a clown

Sully checking out the clown

Much to our surprise...we got to enjoy an unexpected snow day here in Nashville.  It snowed hard all morning so we headed out to the neighborhood hill and went sledding with the neighbors. Hudson, Ava Grace and Caleb had a blast and Sully even went down the hill a few times with Tom.  She just giggled the whole time.  Hudson had a small collision that led to a busted lip and cut our sledding short but she was very tough about it.  We came home and put some ice on it and headed back out to play in the snow!

Snow day!

 That is about all for now!  We have a trip to Bowling Green planned to see the rodeo but other than that February should be a quiet month!  Although in our lives we never seem to have dull moments!

As always here are some pictures from the last month or so...enjoy!

Christmas and Seven Months

Hard to believe Christmas and New Years have come and gone and Sweet Sully is SEVEN Months old!  Wow how time flies!

 

We had a wonderful Holiday but so much went on I am going to take the lazy way out and just do bullet points!

 

Christmas:

• We went to see Santa pretty early which was nice b/c we didn't have to wait in line.  Sullivan loved Santa.  She just grinned ear to ear and ynked his beard.  Hudson wanted nothing to do with him but we forced it and we have yet another Santa picture of Hudson looking tortured!  Haha...oh well...memories!
• Hudson had a big time this year with her Elf on the Shelf.  She named him "Baby Elfy" (shocking) and loved finding him every morning.  He didn't get into much trouble this year since he had to hide out of her reach so she wouldn't be tempted to touch him!
• We started our week long Christmas Celebration by heading out to Opryland to visit ICE - Shrek the Halls and to look at all the lights.  It was a lot of fun although Hudson had a little meltdown inside ICE b/c she really wanted to do the ice slide but was also too scared so after 6 or 7 trips up to the top (and walks back down), we decided to cut our losses and finish the tour.
• A few days later, we headed down to Atlanta for Halter Christmas.  It was a fun filled 4 days with lots of cousin time.  We celebrated Friday night with a big Christmas Eve dinner and opening presents.  With a 9, 7, 4, 2 year old and 6 month old...it was chaotic but totally awesome at the same time.  Hudson LOVES (kind of an understatement) her cousins and they are very sweet to both she and Sullivan.  This trip featured a massive cousin wrestle-mania and Hudson loved every second of it...you will see what I am talking about in the pictures.
• We headed back to Nashville on Saturday but not before making "Gingerbread" house out of graham crackers and visiting with my best friends, husbands and babies.  The Boyles were coming through town from Austin to NC and the Websters were coming down to ATL from Knoxville so we were lucky enough to get everyone together!  Between the three of us we now have 5 kiddos and Rach and Doug have the only boy...Sweet Will.  He has his hands full for sure!

Sully, Santa and Frosty

Four Generations on Christmas

Family pic in Atlanta

MamMam and Sully

Best friends and babies...awesome!

Picture break in the middle of WWF

• When we got back to town we only had a few days before Christmas day so we finished up our shopping and relaxed a little.
• Christmas Eve we made Santa cookies, headed to church for the kids service and then drove around and looked at some Christmas lights, headed home and made pizzas for dinner (our new annual tradition).
• Christmas Day started out with Santa of course...he leaves his gifts here unwrapped and on display...but he also fills stockings too!  So the girls came down and saw their gifts and opened their stockings, then we took a breakfast break and opened the rest of our gifts. Hudson was not sold on the Santa thing - especially the part about him coming in our house.  She wanted Daddy to get the presents from Santa and bring them.  But now that she has seen what Santa is all about...She seems to like him.  If you ask her what he brought she opens her arms real wide and says "all the toys"
• Both girls took a long nap and we waited for Grandma and Grandpa Frericks and Aunt Kelly to arrive for Round 2 of presents.
• We had a long day of gifts and playing with our new stuff and finished the day with Christmas dinner.

Christmas Eve...Sully was not in the mood

Cutest sock monkey....thanks Aunt Kelly



Hudson displayed all her stocking stuff...so my child!

New Years Eve:

• We had a fun NYE with the Kopfs and Roses.
• Everyone came over for potluck dinner, football, and watching the kiddos play.
• Hudson and AB had a big time and Mills and Sully even rocked out for a little while too.
• We are so lucky to have such great friends with great kiddos.  It was a night full of lots of laughs for sure.

Hudson:

• Hudson is still wild and crazy as ever.  She is still taking gymnastics and loves it.
• She is big into singing and dressing up which is pretty funny.  She rarely leaves the house without some sort of hat and her sparkly shoes - or "farkle" shoes as she calls them.
• She still loves Mickey Mouse and friends and has started getting into Princesses.  Right now the only one she knows is Cinderella so I am trying to avoid the madness that is all Disney Princesses...we shall see!
• She is still having so much fun with our Nanny Jen and loves when she comes over just to play with Hudson of course.
• Now that she is over 2 we only go to the Doctor once a year so we don't have her latest measurements but I will tell you that she is too heavy to carry around...haha!  And she wears a 3 or 4T pant...so she is a tall one!
• We love taking trips to the Science Center and she and Tom have a big time swimming at the indoor Y pool.  She and Jen also spend a lot of time at Monkey Joes, Bounce U and Sky High Sports....can you tell she has a lot of energy to burn!

Sullivan:

• Sweet Sully turned 7 months old this week.  Her doctor's appointment last week was cancelled last minute so we won't know her new stats till next Wednesday but I will update when I get them.
• She started crawling the week of Christmas and has not stopped.  She is so happy now that she is mobile and can really cover some ground when she gets going.
• The day after she started crawling, she also started pulling up...she isn't too steady on her feet but she tries so hard!
• Earlier this month she also got one of her top front teeth and her other front tooth is about to come in any day now.
• She LOVES LOVES LOVES to eat.  She gets so excited for real food and literally shrieks at you if you don't feed her fast enough.
• She is a good sleeper and typically sleeps from 8pm until 6:30am.  She isn't a great napper but we usually get at least one from her every day.
• She also LOVES Jen and they have a big time together - especially on Wednesday when big sister is at school.
• Sully LOVES Hudson too.  She just lights up when she sees Hudson...it is so sweet.
• Now that she is mobile she is all about big sister's stuff so that is getting interesting...we have been talking a lot about sharing!!!

I guess that is about it.  About the only other thing going on is our sweet Maysie tore her ACL.  It happened about a month ago and we finally got her brace.  After much deliberation we decided to forgo surgery and just use a brace to get her back to as close as normal as possible...not having an ACL of course.  We got it today and it took a little getting used to but I think she is already putting more weight on her leg...so fingers crossed it works for us!  Anyone that knows Mays, knows that she is a Saint and lets the girls do just about anything to her without moving a muscle to we hated to see her in pain!

I guess that is all for now.  I thought I would share these little clips with you all.  Here is Hudson with her version of Jingle Bells (her new favorite song) and a short clip of Sully crawling...she is much faster now but this was the only one I could get on video.

We hope everyone had a great Holiday and that your 2013 is off to a great start! 

 

As always here are some pictures from our last month or so...warning - there are over 400 of them so feel free to skim quickly!
