Ok, so I have to be honest. The last couple of days here haven’t been great. I have been really bummed that Cameron had been getting out of his crib by himself. I know he is 4 and could sleep in a bed…but I am not ready for that. I am very selfish. I love when he takes naps or sleeps in. Now he hasn’t been taking naps and he has been getting up earlier.

So today after church Randy decided to change his crib into a big boy bed. We got out the tools, instructions, and even took a few pictures to remember this day by. Then I thought, hmmm maybe we should ask him how he got out of bed so I can capture that moment too. So I turned the recorder on and this is what we got!

He was climbing out on the BIG Bear that we just moved by his bed so he could have the train table in his room to play with. We couldn’t believe our eyes. Now we put away all the tools and instructions and MOVED the BIG Bear into Michaels room. We decided to give ourselves a little more time before we loose our insanity. Really, I was loosing my insanity over this mile marker. I am not ready yet. I guess you are never ready for this one are ya?

We finally got a dog. Randy wanted a pug, I wanted a Great Dane, so we got Golden Retriever! The story is actually funny. Randy one night mentioned that he wouldn’t mind a Yellow Lab. I was ecstatic. Then we both agreed to a female dog. So the hunt started….I called the Denton Animal Shelter to see if by chance they had a yellow female lab. They did so I went and took Cameron to see how he would react to her. All I have to say is that she was way to hyper! She knocked Cameron down and scared him. I really couldn’t manage her either. She was cute, but not fit for our family. I was bummed. I went to go home and do more searching, but Cameron insisted on going back to see more doggies. I saw some really really cute puppies that I wouldn’t mind having too. Except I really didn’t want a puppy. I really didn’t want to start that training all over. So on with the story… I then saw this sweet looking dog that was just sitting there. He wasn’t even barking! They labeled him as a 4yr old Golden Retreiver. I asked to see if we could take him outside to see how Cameron is with him. Let me tell you, he was the BEST to Cameron. He didn’t even jump up on us. We sat down on a bench and Hudson, the dogs name, just sat down and put his cute little head on the bench for us to pet. He was so sweet. I wanted to take him home right away. I called Randy and told him all about Hudson. Randy was hesitant to get him because he wasn’t what we wanted. We wanted a female yellow lab. I talked him into coming to see him, but I had to leave. Randy got off work a little early so we could get there before the shelter closes. When the boys got off the bus I told them that I found us a dog! We were all so excited. I called Randy to see where he was… he was on the way to get his haircut. His haircut!!! I couldn’t believe it! I then told him that I was on my way with the boys. I told him to call me and I would give him the directions. I was so shocked that he wasn’t coming straight home! I really loved this dog. So on my way… I did the speed limit through this school zone, but after it I gunned it! Of course there would be a police officer rigth there! Yep, I got a ticket! I was going 45 in a 30. First thing, I really can’t believe I was going 45! I guess I really wanted to get there! At any rate, I was speeding. I knew it too. So I didn’t say much. Now the kids always look at the speed limit and my spedometer. It gets annoying sometimes. At least they won’t speed when they start to drive. Hopefully.

So then I called Randy. Boy did I dread that phone call. I really wanted this dog, but now I have this ticket. Randy was so sweet to me. We still went to see Hudson. He was still there when we got there. The boys fell in love right away. Hudson was so good to the boys too. Randy showed up and liked him, but was unsure if he was the right one because he wasn’t what we were looking for. Randy left it up to me. What a good husband. So needless to say, he is home with us now.

Hudson has a very cute personality. We got him on Friday February 20th and we haven’t even heard him barked or growel. He is just so sweet! The Vet told us too that he is only 2yrs old. It’s amazing how good he is. He always has to have something in his mouth too. It is so cute. Cameron bus driver gave him a gift bag of goodies that he loves. She is so sweet. Hudson loves going to the bus stops to take the kids and then he loves to go pick them up. I know that my boys love having him around. Last night Randy was outside running around with him and having fun with him. Randy loves him too. He has gotten over the fact that he is a bigger dog than he ever thought he would get. Hudson had to have been trained before. He hasn’t had an accident in the house at all. I love it!! All I can say is how fun and cute he is. He has such a cute personality. Here is all the fun pictures we have so far:)
