READY TO FISH!!

DADDY BOUGHT THE BOY'S THEIR FIRST FISHING POLES YESTERDAY AND AS YOU CAN SEE THEY NEED ALITTLE PRACTICE. WE WENT OVER TO PATRICK AND CARRIES FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT AND THEY HAVE A LAKE BEHIND THEIR HOUSE AND DADDY WANTED TO DO ALITTLE FISHING WITH THE BOY'S. I THINK DADDY AND PAW PAW DID MOST OF THE FISHING, BUT THEY ALL HAD FUN. THEY EVEN CAUGHT SOME FISH AND AUSTIN LOVED THAT. AIDEN WAS TO BUSY PLAYING WITH STICKS IN THE WATER AND ALMOST FELL HEAD FIRST INTO THE WATER ONE TIME! DON'T WORRY WE WERE ALL RIGHT THERE! THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN AND I'M SURE WILL BE PRO'S BY THE TIME THEY ARE 5 FISHING OUT HERE WITH DADDY WHEN THE FISH GET BIG ENOUGH!

I HAVE MORE PICTURES TO POST FROM OUR FUN TODAY, BUT DON'T HAVE THEM UPLOADED YET. DADDY PLANNED A TRIP TO CALERA TO SEE THOMAS THE TRAIN. IT WAS REALLY NEAT AND THE BOY'S HAD A BALL. THEY GOT TO RIDE ANOTHER CHOO CHOO TRAIN AND PLAYED WITH ALL KINDS OF CHOO CHOO'S ON THE TRAIN TABLES THEY HAD SET UP! AUSTIN WAS SO FUNNY, HE WOULD GO AROUND TO ALL THE TABLES AND PICK UP AS MANY CHOO CHOO'S THAT HE COULD HOLD IN HIS LIL' HANDS. AIDEN JUST HAD FUN WATCHING THE BIGGER KIDS AND TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY WERE DOING! I THINK WE MAY HAVE TO INVEST IN ONE OF THOSE TRAIN TABLES SOON:)! THANK YOU DADDY FOR THE FUN TRIP TODAY, WE LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!

HAVING FUN AND FISHING

GO WESTON!!!

WE WENT TO WATCH WESTON'S FIRST BASEBALL GAME YESTERDAY AND HE LOOKED SO CUTE OUT THERE! HE DID SO GOOD TOO! AIDEN REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THEM HIT THE BALLS AND HE KEPT SAYING "BASEBALL" OVER AND OVER! I HAVE A FEELING BASEBALL JUST MIGHT BE HIS "THING".

EASTER PICTURES!!

ALL OF THE PICTURES TURNED OUT SO CUTE! NOW, I JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT MY FAVORITES TO PRINT. THAT IS ALWAYS THE HARDEST PART BECAUSE KIM DOES SO GOOD AND I END UP LOVING THEM ALL. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I'M GOING TO GET THE BOTTOM ONE BLOWN UP ON A CANVAS BECAUSE, I JUST LOVE IT AND THINK THAT IT IS THE SWEETEST PICTURE OF THEM TWO! THANKS AGAIN KIM FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK!!

AIDEN LOVED THE BUNNIES!!

EVERY TIME AIDEN SEE'S A BUNNY OR ANYTHING THAT HE THINKS IS A BUNNY HE GET'S ALL EXCITED AND STARTES SCREAMING "MONEY" WHICH TO HIM MEANS BUNNY!! IT TOOK ME ALITTLE WHILE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE WAS SAYING, BUT NOW I KNOW!

HE LOVED THE BUNNIES TOO!

A FUN DAY AT THE ZOO!

ALL THREE OF THE BOY'S WERE SOOOOO GOOD YESTERDAY. THEY ALL RODE IN THEIR STROLLER'S AND JUST LOOKED AT ALL THE ANIMALS. WE RODE THE CHOO CHOO TRAIN AND VISITED THE PETTING ZOO AND THEY ALL LOVED THAT! I WAS ALITTLE WORRIED CARRYING THEM BY MYSELF, BUT NOW THAT I KNOW THEY ENJOYED IT WE WILL DEFINETLY BE GOING BACK. MABEY NEXT TIME THEY CAN PLAY IN THE WATER AREA AND RIDE THE CAROUSEL. COURTNEY AND I WERE POOPED BY THE TIME WE LEFT, SO WE SKIPPED OUT ON THOSE:)!

THE PETTING ZOO!

THE BOY'S OF COURSE LOVED THE PETTING ZOO. THEY ARE NOT SCARED OF ANY KIND OF FURRY ANIMAL AND KEPT CHASING THEM INTO THE LITTLE ROPED OFF AREA. OWEN WASN'T TOO SURE ABOUT THOSE THINGS.......I DON'T BLAME HIM:)!

RIDING THE CHOO CHOO!

AUSTIN COULDN'T WAIT TO GET ONE THE CHOO CHOO TRAIN AND AIDEN WAS ALITTLE SCARED AT FIRST. ONCE IT STARTED GOING HE LIKED IT AND THE BOTTOM PICTURE IS OF HIM DOING "THE CHOO CHOO". THEY JUST SAT THERE AND HELD ON THE WHOLE TIME AND LOOKED OUT AT EVERYTHING!

SWEET PICTURES!

THE BOTTOM ONE IS OF OWEN AND AUSTIN GIVING EACH OTHER LOVE!! THEY WILL LOVE US FOR THAT ONE DAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OWEN!

FINALLY, I GOT THE PICTURES FROM OWEN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY LAST SATURDAY. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. HE WAS SO CUTE IN HIS' LIL BIRTHDAY HAT AND REALLY ENJOYED DIGGIN' INTO HIS CAKE! THE BOY'S OF COURSE HAD A BLAST JUMPING AND SLIDING ON THE BIG BLOW UP THING. FOR SOME REASON AIDEN LOVED THE GREEN FOUR WHEELER TOO. HE NEVER RIDES THE ONE HE HAS AT HOME, BUT YOU COULDN'T KEEP HIM OFF OF OWEN'S. ANYWAYS, WE HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL FIRST BIRTHDAY OWEN!

WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO MEET OWEN AND COURTNEY AT THE ZOO IN ALITTLE WHILE SO, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL ALL BEHAVE AND WE WILL GET SOME CUTE PICTURES OF THEM. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT AUSTIN WILL HAVE A FIT OVER THE CHOO CHOO TRAIN AND I'M SURE THEY WILL BOTH ENJOY ALL THE ANIMALS. WE WILL SEE! I STILL DO NOT HAVE A CAMERA, BUT GI GI IS LETTING ME BORROW HER'S FOR TODAY AND HOPEFULLY I WLL HAVE A NEW ONE SOON!

I GUESS I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ALL THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER IN MOTHER'S DAY OUT ON WEDNESDAY'S. THEY WERE JUST STAYING SO SICK AND AFTER OUR SCARE WITH AUSTIN AND HIM LOOSING WEIGHT WE DECIDED IT JUST WASN'T WORTH IT. THEY WILL BE STARTING A REAL SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. IT IS A MONTESSORI SCHOOL AND I THINK THEY WILL BOTH REALLY ENJOY IT AND WILL LEARN SO MUCH.

HEADED TO THE PARTY!1

MARCH FOR BABIES

Dear Family and Friends,
As most of you know RJ and I got involved wtih the March of Dimes last year to show our thanks and support for all of the professional that helped take care of our babies. We had premature twins; Aiden 4 lbs 7 oz and Austin 2lbs 13 oz. Aiden spent 32 days in NICU (Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit) and Austin spent 50 Days.
We are truly blessed and thank you all for your support through it all. We will be walking again this year and are asking for your support once again. I know many of you support other organizations and charities, so please do not feel like you have to give. I know you will be blessed and the money raised helps to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Thanks again for your support.
Love,
The Hughes' Family

HAPPY EASTER!!

WELL, WE HAVE HAD A BUSY EASTER SUNDAY AND IT WAS GREAT. TODAY WAS MI MI AND PAW PAW'S FIRST OFFICIAL SERVICE AT MOUNTAINVIEW CHURCH, SO THIS EASTER WAS EXTRA SPECIAL FOR OUR FAMILY. THE PLACE WAS PACKED WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHILDREN, AND FIRST TIME VISITORS. WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR THEM, BUT MOST OF ALL FOR WHAT GOD IS DOING AT MOUNTAINVIEW CHURCH ALREADY! IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY DAD THEN YOU KNOW THIS IS JUST AMAZING AND A MIRACLE IN ITSELF! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME COME OUT NEXT SUNDAY TO HEAR FOR YOURSELF. HE WILL BE GIVING HIS TESTIMONY AND I PROMISE YOU WILL BE TOUCHED. WE LOVE YOU, MI MI AND PAW PAW!!
