Pics....

Went to see the car today and get some things out of it.......oh wow.

Slade in the hospital

side that DIDNT get hit

so thankful for guardian angles....

Slade's door

Inside...he got out by being pulled through the window

Where'd the front go??

Thankful...

A Truck ran a red light and hit a Tahoe going about 70+ miles an hr. We hear stories like this all the time...tonight it hit a little too close to home. The Tahoe they hit was Slade. The truck ran a red light and t-boned him on his driver side. It hit him so hard it caused his car to spin and hit the car beside him and continue to spin around 360 degrees....according to the Fireman, 6 inches to 1 foot further in the intersection then he is killed on impact. Luckily he hit just in front of his door enough that the car spun, thus absorbing some of the impact. Smaller car...probably wouldn't have made it. We got rid of his Cadillac CTS 2 months ago. He was pulled out

Initially they thought the driver of the truck was drunk but it looks like he was texting...he never braked and Slade took the full impact of a truck going 70 miles an hr. After 4 hrs in the ER we are home and praising the Lord that he only suffered a few broken ribs, bumps and bruises. It truly is a miracle he's alive..and we are humbled by Gods love for us and his protection over Slade.

While in the ER, he got a CAT scan and X-Rays and they showed nothing but a few broken ribs...pretty amazing considering. There was also a fun moment where 5 policemen and the entire ER staff rushed to the room next to ours and I was told to STAY IN MY ROOM. Seriously? I told poor Slader if it was a bomb then peace out...he was on his own cause I was outta there! Not totally sure what the deal was.

His car is the tahoe on the right...with no front anymore.......I think that pretty much sums up how blessed we are feeling. Yes we have only had this car two weeks but who cares....it was a GREAT car for those two weeks.

The Trash Man

Gan was nice enough to teach Knox to take the smaller trash cans from all the rooms and deposit the trash into the big trash can in the kitchen. This would be great if he didn't take them randomly and deposit them around the house to have to be hunted down. He is OBSESSED with the trash cans and is constantly taking them all over our house....hopefully this is not a career path.

Special thanks to Uncle Wes for the signed Patriots jersey he is wearing in these pics!

trying to make a break for it and head outside

pensive because he didn't get his way

reading his "playbook"

Practicing his Heisman pose

"Who Me? I'm not up to anything!"

Seriously, Mom....stop following me...I'm working!

Got the trash

"Could you get out of my way?"

"Seriously woman, this does not need to be documented."

off to the big trash....

Golf with Dad

Knox got to go to the putting green with Dad and it only took a few minutes for Slade to teach him the ropes...I have a feeling this is going to become a regular occurrence...he already has him picking up the putts Slade misses and bringing them back to him....he's our son, Slade, not a golden retriever. 

"hmmm, no what am I supposed to do with this?"

lookin good!

"Maybe if I just roll it like this.."

"Check my read on that one!"

"Lets see what this thing does"

"FOUR!"

"I so got the hang of this!"

sick baby...sick mommy

I know, I know...totally been MIA lately. It's been NUTS around the Hodges household. Got lots going on with Brooke and I's start up biz (yay!) and Mr. Knox is growing into quite the little man. However, this past week we were brought to an abrupt halt when both of us got sick. Mommy AND baby sickness is no bueno!

Knox is ALL over the place. He is becoming very opinionated but it still such a sweet little person. Granted, he has his moments. He is currently chanting, "Ma-Ma-Maaa" from his crib in an effort to get me to forgo nap time...not gonna happen my man.

This past weekend Rizzle and SteveO came in town with Heather and Philip. Knox of course hated all of the attention. It actually worked out great since Slade had to work all weekend and I did a garage sale with Beth and Sarah. Rizzle and SteveO brought Knox an awesome little tykes slide/fort thing and after 4 hrs and a few re-do's Linds and SteveO got it put together!

Knox and I have been sick this whole week. I do fine with the sickness until he starts puking on me...especially in public places...not okay. I got enveloped in puke while sitting at the dr office...thank goodness it was after hrs so there was no one to see and/or smell me. He is starting to get a tad antsy and this is not good for me. Today he has already stirred all the toilet water with his drumsticks, taken all the toilet paper off the rolls, moved his shoes to the couch and back to his room about 75 times (weird, I know) and pretty much had free reign of this house cause his mom feels so bad...great for him, bad for me.

Hopefully Daddy will be home soon.....

Crazy, busy February!

I have not been good about blogging, I know. It's just been super crazy around here. Brooke and I are trying to get our business off the ground and it looks like it's going to be GREAT! Our first show was definitely a success and we already have a show set up in Dallas on the 10th of March (all you Dallas girls get ready!) not to mention we are going to be at the Highland Park/University Park Spring Market in April!  Big things ahead for these two little mammas!

So in lieu of a post....here are some recent pics....

Adele and I had a "snow day slumber party"...we did our nails, homemade facials and since we are "grown ups" now we drank wine instead of hot chocolate.

Did I say grown ups? Hmm not really. But we did feel much safer with a super hero sleeping in the next room. 

Love the new outfit Amy Jo sent him...would only wear it with the hood on.

such a little boy!

errr maybe not! had to wear Mom's scarf because Mom wore it so naturally he had to as well!

Chillin in my Cozy Coupe

Ready to brave the elements!

going out the door ...maybe to work like Daddy (?) with his laptop!

SOOO over being bundled up!

Baby, it's cold outside!

Snow Day in the Falls! I love it! My husband and my child are a bit stir crazy but do I let this deter my joy?? Absolutely not! Its FREEZING outside..literally. We got 6-8' last night and it is glorious! Got a fire keeping us all toasty and while I should be using this time to do something productive like finish the closets I started cleaning out...I'm not. I'm just enjoying snugglin with which ever of my two men that will let me catch them for more than a minute. Knox is an easier catch because I am still bigger than him.

lookin for the snow

They tell me it's gonna snow!

It's here!

So pretty

Grandad took me to play in the snow!
