I think Huds would take a pig too, he chased this guy through a chicken coup door

I haven't been the best blogger lately, I'm trying.  TJ is working a fairly normal schedule so we've had a fairly "normal" family life, whatever that means these days right?  Anyway, it's been awesome!  We've been maximizing our weekends and evenings, I feel like I have been taking way too much on in life, like supposed to be two places at once and showing up late because I was trying to get a real meal down everyone's throats kind of busy.  Recently I took on being captain of my relay team, starting a book club, a play group, and then being called to work with the young women in our church.  The things I do to avoid hulu addictions.  Anyway it's been fun but I miss our calm days at home and time with my hubs so now that my relay is over I'm trying to take it a little easier.  For those of you that know me, you know that this probably won't happen but I love my days home with Huds.  Honestly though I love my life, mostly because of my awesome little family and this beautiful place we have to live.  I can't really ask for anything more out of life.  Not that my life is perfect but I have what I wanted most in life my wonderful, handsome, and sweet husband and my awesome, cute, FUN son. 

Huds these days has been tackling people, he starts with a big bear hug from behind and than growls and takes other kids down, all of them have been older so far so it's ok right???  He loves putting on his shoes and giving me at least one of my shoes and heading for the door everyday.  He loves water and tries to jump in it everywhere we go including puddles, lakes, and ponds, I think we need to catch up on some pool visits, and after the puddle jumping I'm regretting returning his rain boots.  He also loves to grab anything above his sight, which happened to be knives a few times, mom has gotten smarter though don't worry, although after seeing him wield a butcher knife I think we might have to get him a toy sword for Christmas.  He also loves balls and anything that looks like one he will try to get or throw a fit.  He's got a pretty good arm as well.  Note to parents of ball loving children, don't take your kids to the Olympic Training Center, I'm pretty sure we almost left with Mia Hams soccer ball.  Huds is finally saying Mama but relates it mostly to being hungry.  He went through a peach phase, a raisin phase, and as of late opens the fridge and tells us what he wants, usually strawberries phase.  Anyone know where the name strawberry comes from, weird right?

TJ has been bossing it up in the brown as of late.  Huds and I have visted the big brown hub a few times, I'm pretty sure Huds wants to be a UPS driver when he grows up.  I finally convinced TJ to keep some sideburns, so you can call him Mr Burns now.  Now that TJ is working one job at a time and finished with school he's picked up things like camping again (Alleluia!) and fixing things on our car like the air filter and water pump.  I like a man who can fix a car, it makes me feel so secure after my turbulent history of breaking down cars.  The Carolla rocks by the way, Toyota is the best!  We've had our beauty 3 years now and all we've had to do is regular maintenance.

We've had more fun adventures but I'm too lazy to plug in my phone and download pics, so until next time thanks for tuning into the life of the Connolly's, Glenwood Style!
