Happy Birthday B.F.F.A.G.B.

HaPPy BIrtHdAY KiNdRA!!!Tomorrow is my Bestest friend Kindra’s B-day, she will turn the BIG 26, it is not that big of a number, I know because for the last 4 months I have had that number tagged to my profile to represent my age. Anyway, I just want to do a shout out to Kindra to tell her how amazing she is! I have never had a better friend then Kindra (besides Stewart… and a few others who are equal in rank to Kindra). Kindra has always been there for me and has become like a sister to me, she truly is an amazing person and has taught me so much about life and staying positive. We have been through a lot together and together we have overcome great challenges. Who would have thought that when we ended up being roommates our very first semester at collage that we would still be best friends today (we were roommates up until the time I got married last year). When we first met I was so homesick, that Kindra did not like me all that much, but once I got over my homesickness we became best buds. So in honor of Kindra’s Birthday and our many years of friendship, I thought it would be fun to post some old pictures of us back in the day and of course some current pictures as well. Kindra, thanks for being such a great friend, for always being there for me, and of course for not disowning me for getting married on you. Have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, you deserve it!

These are some old pics of Kindra and I back in the college days

WARNING: The Following Pictures are of Kindra’s Vicious/Mischievous side! Enjoy:)

Yep thats me (Becky) in the sleeping bag... I think she left me there like that for at least 3 hours! Just Kidding, it was only 2 hours.

Grow Garden Grow!!!

Stew and I planted a nice little garden earlier this year right outside our front door. I am happy to say it is growing up nicely and we have some small green beans growing, we also can see some green tomatoes on the vines. I am so happy about our garden that I talk to it every day when I leave the house and when I come home from wherever. Here are some pictures of the garden so you can see how it is doing. I love little garden, keep on growing!!!

Look at the Tomatoes... SO BIG!

24th of July

Living in Pocatello, is not all that bad. This weekend we had a parade to celebrate the 24th of July, a day when the Pioneers reached the Salt Lake valley. Stewart and I went to the parade with his Grandma and his Aunt Nancy along with her kid-o’s. We were also babysitting my good pals Shayla and Ted’s little boy Kaden. We had a great time, and got plenty of candy. Shayla and Ted were in the parade so it was a lot of fun to see Kaden get big eyed and start to say da da or momma, he knew who they were. That was basically our day, here are some great pictures for you to enjoy.

FaMiLY ReUnIOn #2

I was looking at this blog the other day and realized it needed a face lift and it also needed an update, do here I go with the update and hopefully you can see the face lift already. ~ENJOY~

This past weekend Stewart and I went to Boise for the “Hudson Family Reunion” this reunion was with Stewart’s family… his Grandparents, Uncle, and Aunts and all his cool Cousins. We had a great time with his family. On Thursday before we went to the reunion we stopped and had my RING FIXED!!! Remember I lost the diamond in my ring about two months ago… well now it is all fixed and I am just happy as a bear in a honey tree! It is nice to have it on my finger again. Anyway this blog is suppose to be about the Hudson Fam reunion…. After we fixed the ring we drove out to Eagle Rd. Area and met up with the rest of the family.

Thursday night we spent our time visiting with the family. Friday we floated the Boise River, boy was it an adventure. First off we could not find the cap for the big yellow raft so we made a plug out of a patch and an old cap to something. We put Grandma Hudson, Two little cousins (Eli and Sadie) and then Juan and Camille in that raft. Stewart and I in another small raft, Nancy and Mike and Josie in a raft, and Natalie and her b-friend (Ryan) on an air mattress, and then finally Spencer in his own boat. After we all kicked off we realized that Juan and Camille did not know how to paddle in a boat so we (mid-stream mind you), switched Nancy and Camille places and then we were good to go. Stewart and I were doing okay until we lost the paddle part of our oar, Stewart had to jump out of our boat to retrieve it, and then I had to jump out of our boat to make sure Stewart could catch up to me so I swam to shore and waited. I tell you the water was knee deep most of the way…. Except where I jumped out to swim to shore, that place was shoulder high or higher. It was a fun trip down the river, Stewart says his favorite part of the whole trip down the river was throwing his Aunt Nancy into the water.

Saturday, the Men went target shooting south east of Boise. They came back with some big story about the sheriff and his deputy telling them that the place that they were shooting was on private ground. They did not get a ticket because it was not posted, but from now on they will have to find a new place to shoot. The Men also said that News Channel 6 was there recording this whole ordeal, so of course we watched the news that night to see if you men were movie stars … nope they weren’t as of yet. While the Men were off shooting things (Stewarts textbooks) Michelle, Amanda, and I went shopping to good ol’ Target. We had a ton of fun, Michelle found a totally awesome Halloween costume and Amanda found some great work slacks and a great crib for half price. I did not see anything that I had to have so I saved my money and am keeping it secure for when I do find something fantastic!!!

Stewart and I left Boise on Sunday morning and made it back to Pocatello, in time for church. We also got to stop by my sister Katie’s house and check out her new paint job. It looks fantastic!!! Well I am sure you are board by now reading about the fun time Stewart and I had while at his family reunion, so I am going to end this entry now. It was fun to see everyone and to make some great family memories. Thanks Mike and Cindy and their family for letting us crash at their home. We had a great time, can’t wait for next year! Bye

PILLOW FIGHT!!! Sadie, Eli, & Josie

More Pillow Fighting!

I was taking pictures and Eli (who is 4) came up to me and told me he could do the Flamingo Pose, it made me laugh…. He loves to be in the spotlight, I think his parents should be proud!

4th of JULY

For the 4th of July Stewart and I went to send sometime in Rexburg with his family. The 4th of July for us a very low key, most of our time was spent at the hospital with Alex. Or at home helping around the house. For those who don’t know Alex was in the hospital with a flair-up of previous health conditions. He is doing much better now and is back home moving on with life.
On the 5th of July however we were able to break out our personal fireworks and put on our own firework show. We all roasted Marshmallows and made S’Mores that was a lot of fun. We sat around a camp fire we built in the back yard and told jokes and just laughed. Afterwards we set off our fireworks and had a great time.
Stewart and I were both glad that we went to Rexburg instead of elsewhere. In a way we had an impromptu North family Reunion with all of us there, it was a lot of fun and we were happy we could make it happen by gracing everyone with our smiles. Thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s 2008 4th of July the BEST ONE EVER!!!! We Love Your GUTS!
