an older one

I was going through some older pictures tonight and found this one from June. It's just so sweet.

Fun Picture Tag

Here's a new tag that is actually pretty simple to do.
Open your pictures folder
Go to the SIXTH folder
Go to the SIXTH picture
Publish it to a NEW POST and tell the story of the photo

Story:  This is part of Hutson's 2nd Easter.  For his first Easter I took pics of him on this chair so I did it again for his 2nd Easter to demonstrate how much he grew.  Just snapshots but I love them.  And it's so fun to see how much he's grown since then.  

I tag: Laura, Sharron, Anna, and Rachel.  Post yours too!

the look and rocks

This is the look. The look I get right before Hutson does something he knows I don't want him to do. Usually I'll say "Hutson, no" or "Hutson don't put that rock in your mouth." He seems to take great joy in doing whatever I don't want him to do then beaming at me. So here is the look and then the undesired action. He is so trying to get a rise out of me.  :)


Again he loves to show me rocks.  
walking away with a rock.  My parents have a gravel driveway.  He would have spent all weekend there if I would have let him.  

Digging in the rocks.  he loves to get dirty and to rub dirt into his pants.  

Hutson and Owen

One of my oldest and best friends was in MS when I was. I've known Anna since we were about two or three. Anna remembers more about my childhood than I do! She has been a part of almost every major event in my life. I love her! She's one of those friends that I can just pick back up with as if no time has passed. We got our boys together this past weekend. Anna's guy is named Owen and he's just so cute. He's a year older than Hutson but Owen is tall for his age and Hutson is short for his age, so Owen looms over Hutson. The two boys seemed to be a lot alike and both seem to enjoy some of the same things including running, playing in the dirt, and getting into everything.


Owen was really sweet with Hutson.  I just love this picture!  
Anna's parents live on a farm with lots of cows.  We took a ride on their mule (ATV type thing pictured below).  Owen and Hutson had fun blowing the horn after we stopped.  
Some cows in the field.  Normally I wouldn't take pictures of cows because we see them all the time in Texas and MS, but I wanted one for the blog.  :)
Boys admiring some crickets.  
Owen had enough of my picture taking!  This one makes me laugh.  

Another MS photo

Mississippi

Callie's parents live in Mississippi. Hutson and I went for a visit this week and Mike met us on Friday. Here are some pictures from the beautiful morning fog. And this is my parent's front yard! Isn't it great...I love all the trees.

Hutson with Daddy Jim.  

Running...sort of.  :)

Rocks rock!

Hutson has a new love...rocks. He picks them up where ever we are and loves to look at them or hand them to me. Today he even tried to eat one of them. He especially loves picking them up right outside our new apartment. Take a look.
