No more bottle!
I did it!!
In this one you can tell how excited and proud he was by how he is clasping his little hands together!
" The Joys (or not) of Potty Training"
We are now back into it full force and hoping to have better luck this time. He is such a stubborn little guy! He understands ALL of his bodily functions now and tells me all throughout the day everytime he is going. I have tried all the tricks, candy in the jar, new toys, even puting hot wheels (which are his favorite things ever) into a bucket and letting him pick a new one every time he goes potty. Nothing is working so far. The next approach I am taking (which Im not looking forward to because we have carpet all through the house) is letting him run around "bare down there". I am hoping this will do the trick! So far today we have already had an accident on the floor! Hoping for better luck as the days go by. Wish us luck! :)

Fall Festivities
Every year Phil goes back and forth about wanting to dress up and by the time he makes up his mind, its always too late to try to find costumes so this year we did not dress up. I was bummed and I decided that from now on I will just go ahead and find us costumes in advance. I asked Tucker a couple of months ago what he wanted to be for Halloween. I had no idea that he even knew what I was talking about. Then he looked and me and replied, " A Wion (lion)." He went back and forth between a lion and a turtle for a little while but since I knew that it was going to be hard to find a turtle costume I just went ahead and started searching for a lion costume. I found one that I loved online but I could only find it in one size bigger than his actual size. Since I loved the costume so much I decided to go ahead and take the chance of it not fitting and ordered the costume. It ended up fitting perfectly and I am so glad that I got it. I was so excited to take Tucker trick-or-treating this year. Somehow I just knew he was going to love it. Maybe it was the fact that he loves chocolate, that he had already known that he wanted to be a lion months in advance, or that he had been practicing saying trick-or-treat for over a month. ;) We decided to stick to one little neighborhood so that he wouldn't have to walk too far and I was so surprised at how much candy he got. His bag weighed probably 3 lbs or more. Here are some pics of trick-or-treating fun.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!

How We Became The Hudgens
Phil and I met in December of 2005 through mutual friends. He asked me out on a date shortly after. Following that first date we spent almost every day together. We always had fun together whether we were going out with friends or hanging out at home and watching movies. After dating for about 9 months or so we decided to get an apartment together. At that time Phil was working in the security department at Walmart and I was working as a teller at Wells Fargo. We lived in the apartment for about two years and we decided to rent a small house for more space.
In June of 2008 we bought our first home together which was one of the best decisions we have ever made!! We have really enjoyed having our own home.
One of the things we were most excited about was decorating the nursery and bringing our brand new baby home to our new house! I spent the next 4 months after we moved in getting all of the baby's stuff ready for his arrival.
On October 20, 2008 we Finally got to meet our precious baby boy Tucker Lee Hudgens. We couldn't have been happier or more excited. He is by far the best thing that has EVER happen to us! He has brought more joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined!!
After being together 3 years Phil and I FINALLY (hehe) got engaged in February of 2009 and were married that same month on February 18, 2009. It was such a wonderful day filled with great memories that we will always cherish.
That is how we became the Hudgens family! Thank you for visiting our blog and I will have more posts that keep you updated on our life!!
