Troy

Love to Hear from Everyone

I love seeing all the pictures and hearing how everyone is doing.
Good to hear you got your posts, Troy, and can now do another step. It is exciting to see the progress on the house.

Today we had a small buisness/home business workshop at the Employment Center. We had a big turn-out. Dad & I stayed out in the office and answered the door and telephone so missed most of it but everyone coming out of the room was quite enthused. The second part is on Feb. 9th.

I hope Charlene posts something on the blog because she is in charge of a WHOLE BUNCH of quilts that Ft. McM R.S. is doing for a service project up there. She's done days and days of work. I think today they were hoping to finish. Would be nice if she told us about it.

I would like to hear from others as well --- Garth, Charlene, Alyson, Jenny, Leslie, Brandon, and on and on and on. SOME of us are doing quite well.

Love you all,
Mom

Cool Pics

Hey Brent, those are cool pics from skydiving, it looks like fun....

Cassidy and a friend went skydiving for Graduation.
We got it on video when they went.
They had a lot of fun, and want to do it again.

Well I got 2 steel posts and a beam to the property today, and we
will be going to put in the posts tomorrow, and maybe even start
on the in-floor heating. No new pics from the house yet.

Anyway, how is everyone doing in the Hudkins Clan, And of course
all the other names (you know who you are) that are part of the
extended Hudkins Clan.

Just want to say that we are all doing fine.
We love you all, and God Bless everyone.

Troy, Nancy, and the kids. :)

Did they really JUMP?

Just in case if anyone was wondering if we really did jump out of a perfectly good plane!

Why are they SMILING?

So....... you may be right, we may be crazy!
Yea, I was a little apprehensive before we jumped. But wow, what a rush. A little dangerous, no doubt, but I've got a ticket to do it again. It will be better the next time.

a nice picture of Mom and Dad

Looks like the house is coming along real good. Roxanne didn't get pics of Keisha's party but I think Jordan did. If they haven't figured out how to post a message or pic, I'll go over to help them.Here is a picture of the Edmonton Temple and one of Mom and Dad. They were taken in July 2007.

Hi Aaron and family thanks for writing on the blog I am looking forward to pictures and updates on your family. Hope to hear from you soon.
Roxanne did you take any pictures of the party, if so could you put some on the blog would love to see them.
Nancy

News from the Great White North

Hi Everyone,

I just came back awhile ago from Keisha's birthday party. She had four little friends there plus family. Keisha and her friends were dressed in princess dresses...it was adorable! Austin was happy to have so many people there...he is quite the entertainer! He is talking very well and his newest word is 'pizza'.

Take care and hope to hear from you soon!

Love,
Roxanne

Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone.

Hey guys! From Aaron, Chelsey, Brooke and Rocky (our dog). Just learning how to blog. We will post pics and other stuff soon. Love you all.

Update on House

Sorry we have not updated lately. We have been on a break from going to the house for a week now as we were trying to find steel posts for the basement. Apparently they are a little difficult to find here as basements are not under houses here in Washington so we are having to have them fabricated. Luckily Troy's coaching partner is the owner of a steel fabricator so they are in the process of making them they should be done on wed and then we will be out at the house at night time with Troy working on the in floor heating. After that we will be able to start on the main floor. Here are some of the latest pictures of the basement and the layout of the main floor.
I am home this weekend with a quiet house, just pat and I Troy is gone to Spokane with Kenzy and Cal. Cass is in Tri-Cities, so we are enjoying the quiet. So with that being said this is my first time blogging on my own Troy usually does it so I hope it works.
Love ya all
Nancy

How's The House?

Everyone must be doing well because the blog is very quiet.

I'm anxious for pictures to see the progress on the new house. It's exciting for me to see what's happening. I keep checking every day.

The temple is closed these two weeks for maintenance. We're only working at the Employment Center and have had some interesting people in these past two days. Been really busy. We're having a 'Small Business/Home Business' 2 day workshop on Jan. 26 & Feb 9. A member from Southern AB is coming up. He worked for the Government where helped small businesses in difficulty. Apparently he also had a couple of successful small businesses of his own. Should be pretty interesting.

Thanks for Keisha's birth date, Roxanne.

Love,
Mom

video

Just trying to figure out how to put a video on the blog,
bear with me, I'm still learning....

Troy

Things may not be what it seems!

It seems to me that if I wanted to, I could blame some one else for making derogatory comments about my fine brother (you know, the one with the FACIAL HAIR), but I may not be believed anyway! I wish I was the one that thought of it. I hope it was one of my sons, because then I can be blamed for teaching them the art of teasing. HM-M-M-M I wonder who it was that taught me the art of teasing?? Anyhow, here are some more pictures of the 50th anniversary.


Please send me some pics of the anniversary by e-mail, as I don't have many of your families. When I try to save pics from the blog the quality is very poor, so please e-mail them. brhudkins@shaw.ca Oh, and can everyone send me their e-mail address so I can update the address book? Thanks.

Love always,

Your big Brother oops I mean " The Man in the Moon! "

Happy New Year

Hi Everyone!Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years!  Here is a family pic taken October 13. I tried Grandma's Boiled Raisin Cake recipe - it's good! Cal - you will have to whip this up!

I am excited to have this blog to keep in touch with everyone...what a great idea! I check it everyday. I love to see the pics of everyone...once I know what I am doing, I will send more pics of the family.

Love,
Roxanne

Happy Birthday Nancy!

Happy Birthday, Nancy - January 7th

Hope this year will be wonderful with a new house as your gift.

Love,
Gramma & Grampa

signing blog entries

I think we should sign our blog entries so we know who wrote them. Some one made a comment that Uncle Garth finally had facial hair. (I suspect it was Brent) but it was left unsigned. Uncle Garth might want to know who said that! Gramma you are really becomming a great blogger!

Talk to you all later, Troy.

Troy

More house pics,


It sure seems like it is moving along!!!


Troy

Troy
