FUN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

THE TOP PICTURE IS OF AUSTIN WITH HIS BEST FRIEND NOAH AND AIDEN WITH HIS BEST FRIEND TUCKER! THEY ARE GOING TO MISS THEIR BUDDIES SO MUCH THIS YEAR WHEN THEY CHANGE SCHOOLS, BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THEY STILL HANG OUT! THEY WERE SO EXCITED TO HAVE THEM AT THEIR PARTY ALONG WITH OTHER FAMILY AND FRIENDS! THEY ARE SOME BLESSED LITTLE BOYS IN THE FAMILY AND FRIEND DEPARTMENT:)!

5 YEARS OLD!!

LOTS OF BIRTHDAY PICTURES TO COME!! THE BOYS HAD A BLAST AT THEIR PARTY AND I THINK THE ADULTS DID TOO! WE HAD IT AT TREE TOP ADVENTURE AND THE GO-KARTS WERE A HIT! THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR COMING OUT AND MAKING THEIR DAY SO SPECIAL! MORE PICTURES TO COME AS SOON AS I CAN GO THROUGH THEM ALL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BOYS!!!

THEY HAVE BEEN COUNTING DOWN UNTIL THIS DAY! FIVE IS BIG FOR THEM AND ME!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE I WELCOMED THESE SWEET MIRACLES FROM GOD. THEY HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS AND I THANK GOD FOR ALLOWING ME AND TRUSTING ME TO BE THEIR MOMMY HERE ON THIS EARTH. I PRAY THEY GROW INTO YOUNG CHRISTIAN MEN THAT LOVE THE LORD AND SERVE HIM WITH THEIR WHOLE HEARTS. I PRAY A HEDGE OF PROTECTION OVER THEM AS THEY START THIS YEAR IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. I PRAY THEY ALWAYS KEEP GOD FIRST AND NEVER LET THIS WORLD INFLUENCE THEIR DECISIONS. I PRAY THEY ENJOY EVERY SINGLE DAY THEY HAVE ON THIS EARTH. I PRAY THEY LIVE, LAUGH, LEARN, AND LOVE EVERYONE!!! I PRAY THEY DISCOVER THEIR GOD GIVEN TALENTS AND USE THEM TO GLORIFY OUR LORD! I PRAY MANY BLESSING OVER THEM AND PRAY THEY ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST AND I KNOW IF THEY DO THAT, HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE REST!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOYS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MOMMY'S BABIES FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!! EVEN WHEN YOU ARE GROWN UPS:)! (I TELL THEM THAT ALL THAT TIME AND THEY ASSURE ME THEY WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABIES)!!

FROM OUTGOING TO SHY

AIDEN LEE HUGHES BORN AT 4LBS 7 OZS WAS ALWAYS A LITTLE TALKER, OUTGOING, BUT ALWAYS VERY TIMID.


HE THINKS BEFORE HE MAKES DECISIONS AND HE LOVES TO LEARN. HE LOVES TO BUILD PUZZLES AND LEGO'S AND WOULD SIT INSIDE ALL DAY AND WATCH CARTOONS AND PLAY WITH MY IPAD IF I LET HIM.


HIS FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE IS SWING. HE LOVES TO BE LIKE THE BIG BOYS AND TAUGHT HIMSELF TO SWING ALL BY HIMSELF AT SCHOOL BECAUSE THE KINDERGARTNER'S WERE DOING IT. HE LOVES TO HANG OUT WITH THE OLDER KIDS AND WILL DO OR PLAY WITH WHATEVER THEY ARE PLAYING WITH. HE LOVES HIS COUSINS AND IS ALWAYS THEIR LITTLE SHADOWS WHEN THEY ARE AROUND. IT TAKES HIM A MINUTE TO WARM UP TO NEW KIDS OR ADULTS, BUT ONCE HE DOES HE WILL TALK YOUR EARS OFF.


HE IS A VERY DEEP THINKER AND WILL ASK YOU SOME OF THE MOST RANDOM QUESTIONS EVER. HE LOVES TO TALK ABOUT HEAVEN AND GOD, A LOT. HE ASK ME QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO SIT DOWN TOGETHER AND LOOK UP IN THE BIBLE TOO.


HE LIKES TO CUDDLE AND LOVE ON YOU. HE IS VERY PROTECTIVE OVER HIS BROTHERS WHEN HE WANTS TO BE AND HE WOULD CHOOSE MOMMY OVER DADDY ANY DAY. HE TAKES OF THE GIRLS TOO AND WILL NOT EVEN TAG THEM OUT IN BASEBALL. HE OPENS THE DOOR FOR ME AND IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT GETTING MARRIED. HE STILL HAS HIS GIRLFRIEND, HAZEL AND SAYS HE IS GOING TO MARRY HER:)!



HE LIKES SUPER HEROES, WRESTLER'S OR ANY OF THE OTHER BIG BOY TOYS, BUT HIS ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE THING TO DO IS PLAY BASEBALL. HE LIKES ANYTHING TO DO WITH A BALL! HE LOVES BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL, SOCCER, OR JUST THROWING UP A BALL AND CATCHING ALL DAY LONG.

HE LIKES JUSTIN BEIBER THESE DAYS FOR SOME REASON AND I HAVE SOME PRETTY FUNNY VIDEOS OF HIM SINGING AND DANCING TO, "OH BABY."

HE HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED FROM THE LEADER AND OUTGOING BROTHER TO THE SHYER OF THE TWO.


I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK, BUDDY! HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY! YOU MAKE YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY SO PROUD!!

HE STARTED OUT FIESTY AND HE IS STILL FIESTY!!

AUSTIN WADE HUGHES KEEPS THIS MOMMY ON HER TOES! HE CAME OUT AT 2LBS 13OZ'S AND A FEISTY LITTLE THING. HE STILL HOLDS UP TO HIS FEISTY PERSONALITY FIVE YEARS LATER!

HE IS THE SWEETEST BOY WHEN HE IS ONE AND ONE WITH ANYBODY, BUT YOU ADD ANOTHER AND HE THINKS HE HAS TO FIGHT FOR A LITTLE ATTENTION! HE IS VERY STRONG WILLED, OPINIONATED, AND DETERMINED. IF HE SETS HIS MIND TO DO SOMETHING HE WILL DO IT. HE LOVES TO PICK OUT HIS CLOTHES AND REFUSES TO WEAR STRIPED SHIRTS?? HE LOVES ANYTHING TO DO OUTDOORS AND ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE BEING STILL. HE LOVES ANYTHING TO DO WITH WORKING AND DIRT. HE WOULD CHOOSE TO GO TO WORK WITH DADDY EVERY SINGLE DAY INSTEAD OF STAYING HOME WITH MOMMY:)! HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONTENT IN A PILE OF DIRT OR SANDBOX. HE LOVES DRIVING HIS REAL-FOUR WHEELER, PAWPAW'S BOBCAT, DADDY'S BOAT, HIS TRACTORS, OR ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE WILL LET HIM DRIVE! HE HAS ACTUALLY LEARNED TO DRIVE PAW PAW'S BOBCAT ALL BY HIMSELF WITHOUT PAW PAW IN THERE WITH HIM!

HE HAS NO FEAR AND WILL TRY ANYTHING! HE LOVES TO SWIM AND IS DYING TO WAKEBOARD! HE LOVES TO FISH WITH BOTH OF HIS PAW PAW'S AND LOVES TO HUNT. HE IS VERY OUTGOING AND WILL TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING!

HE LOVES GOING TO CHURCH AND GIVING HIS HARD EARNED MONEY TO JESUS. HE SAYS, "I NEED TO GIVE SOME DOLLARS TO JESUS, SO HE WILL BLESS ME"! HE IS MY LITTLE DAREDEVIL THAT I KNOW WILL ALWAYS KEEP ME ON MY TOES, BUT I WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITOUT HIM!

I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK, BUDDY! HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY! YOU MAKE YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY SO PROUD!

MORE FUN WITH OUR CAPTAIN AND CO-CAPTAINS:)!

EXPLORING!

POOR DUKE AND DALLAS!!

THE BOYS ALL LOVE DUKE AND DALLAS! DUKE IS STILL THE LAID BACK AND LAZY ONE THAT LETS THE BOYS DO ANYTHING TO HIM. DALLAS ON THE OTHER HAND IS THE GUARD DOG AND VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEM, BUT HE DOES NOT LIKE FOR THEM TO "RIDE" HIM:)! IF YOU CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT FROM THE PICTURES, DUKE IS THE BLACK ONE:)!

KIDDO'S EVERYWHERE!

WE HAD THE JONE'S FAMILY DOWN ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH AND THE BOYS HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH ANDREW AND SARA. MADISON AND GRIFFIN WHERE THERE TOO AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE FUN WITH THEIR COUSINS. THEN ON MONDAY WE HAD A YARD FULL OF KIDS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH AND EAT DADDY'S GOOD BBQ! HE STAYED TO EARLY IN THE MORNING SMOKING BUTTS AND RIBS FOR EVERYBODY AND I HAVE TO SAY WE HAD A FEAST! IT WAS ALL SO GOOD AND OF COURSE WE HAD TO HAVE CUPCAKES AND HOMEMADE ICE CREAM!

MY LITTLE CHEF

WHATEVER DADDY DOES, AUSTIN DOES! SO DADDY IS THE HOMEMADE SALSA MAKER IN OUR HOUSE AND AUSTIN IS HIS HELPER! I HAVE TO SAY DADDY AND MY LITTLE CHEF ARE VERY GOOD AT MAKING SALSA:)!

SLIP-N-SLIDE FUN!

WE CLEANED THE GARAGE OUT AT THE LAKE HOUSE AND FOUND THIS SLIP-N-SLIDE WE FORGOT ABOUT LAST YEAR AND HAD TO BREAK IT IN! I GOT THE SOAP AND WE WERE GOOD TO GO. I HAD TO TRY IT OUT AFTER ALL THE FUN THE BOYS WERE HAVING,BUT I LEARNED REAL QUICK I AM NOT AS YOUNG AS I THOUGHT I WAS:)! IT WAS FUN. JAX WAS SPORTING HIS BIG BOY UNDERWEAR THAT WE ARE LEARNING TO WEAR THESE DAYS AND HE LOVED DRINKING THE WATER THAT WAS SQUIRTING OUT:)! I LOVE WATCHING THESE BOYS HAVE FUN WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD!!!
