Easter 2012 (Hudson's First)

I wrote this is April, but just realized it never actually posted to the blog... So enjoy! We had a great Easter weekend! It began on Saturday with the D&L Easter Egg Hunt. It was a really fun day. Dean grilled what seemed like a 1000 hot dogs. Hudson maneuvered his way through 100 kids and owned the easter egg hut. Okay so not really, Emily and I found a couple of eggs and blocked them off for Hud man. Then he went in and was a personal add for raw meat!

Sunday started off with Church. It was a good service. We went to Crosspoint, the church we are attending in McKinney. Then we met my family at the Arboretum in Dallas for lunch. It was packed with people but the spring flowers were beautiful! After the Arboretum we headed back to my parents house to let Hud open his easter basket. Talk about a cute show! That night Emily and I went with Matt and Emily as well as Elizabeth and Jeremy to the Rangers game. It was a great Easter!

The Pilot Point Experience

So one of the biggest blessings about being in DFW is while we are building our home in McKinney we are living in Pilot Point with Emily's Grandma. It has been so much fun... late nights watching American Idol, laughing our butts off with Grandma, going for walks, and Denver getting to play with all the neighborhood dogs. It has been great being right down the street from Emily's family and for Hudson to get to be around his Nanna. It is going to be bitter sweet moving into our house in July.





All this play has definitely worn Hudson out!

Spring Break in Colorado!

This year we packed up and went to Crested Butte, CO for Spring Break. It was awesome. We got to ski in 45 degree weather. Emily's parents rented a ski-in/ski-out condo. It was us, Emily's parents, her sisters, Jacob and Caroline. It was a blast. We skied 3 days. It was Emily and I's first time to ski together because last year Emily didn't get to ski because she was prego with little man. It was Hannah's first time to ski, and she did amazing. The skiing was great but the evenings were great to due to Jacob bringing "Zombie Dice" and some flinging poo card game. They were the types of games that just make you laugh the entire time.




Now It was definitely an interesting experience getting to and from Colorado. So we originally bought the airline tickets last fall while we still thought we were going to be living in Houston. So challenge 1 was getting the tickets switched to leaving out of DFW (yea definitely paid an arm and a leg for that switch). Then on the way home we get to the airport and check in when over the intercom it is announced that our United flight from Gunison to Denver was cancelled. So along with everyone else on that flight we stood in line to get everything switched. In stead of waiting and hoping I walked over to the American Airlines ticket line and used miles to buy a ticket to get home, then went back over to United and they reimbursed us for the tickets (which we are still waiting for that money to hit our account). So when it was all said and done we got home an hour earlier then we originally planned.

DFDUB!

January 14th we said goodbye to Houston and said hello to Dallas. An opportunity came up for me to go transfer to the Plano branch. God definitely had his hands in on the whole thing. We decided to rent out our house instead of selling it. We had a great family who put an offer to lease it out for 2 years after it had only been on the market for 1 day! Currently we are staying in corporate housing at the Shops of Legacy, which has been a huge blessing! However, we are beginning to get that "get me out of this apartment" feeling. Hudson has been such a stud through the whole process. He has quickly become an avid traveler! IN a couple weeks when we move out of corporate housing we are going to stay with Grandma Rentfrow in her house in Pilot Point.

Since being in Dallas...
1. We have eaten at way to many restaurants since being in Dallas
2. Emily has taken up golf and now owns a set of clubs
3. Hudson had pink eye

We are truly blessed and completely stoked that we are in Dallas.
