Well it is time for another update. Now I know what you're thinking. "man those Hubbards are some lazy sacks! They update every year or so." Well I won't argue that point with you cause the truth is that we are lazy sacks but in our defense we don't have the Internet at our house. Gasp! Dun dun dun! NO INTERNET? you ask. How is that possible? Can those words even be used in a sentence that way? Well the answer is yes. You see we didn't see the point in getting the Internet since we most likely are not going to be here in St. Anthony for that long. and since I have the Internet at work I can do everything we need. At this point you are wondering who in the heck is typing, well it's me...Eli! Gasp! Dun, dun, dun. Yes the plot thickens as you realize that I am updating the blog. Well I told Velvet that I would since she is about ready to pop with a baby soon and would rather die than update the blog. So I thought that I would regale you with my rapist wit. To begin with I thought I would start with a little fashion show. You see we went over to My sister Samatha's house for a little Halloween party. Sounds like fun, you say. Well get ready to witness the best costumes your eyes have ever beheld. If you are female, be cautioned cause you may not be satisfied with your husbands again after seeing Velvets costume and the same goes for you males and my costume. Of course if you are male maybe you shouldn't be checking out blogs. Shouldn't you be out shooting something, or building something, you know...something manly. Well I am updating it so we'll just rip off a piece of chest hair and call her good. Now the first pic explains our theme for this year.. the people of Walmart!
Notice the Look on Axel's face! "Who the crap are you and why are you doing this to me?"
Don't hate me cause you aint me!
Move over Justin, cause Vel is Bringing Sexy Back. Rarrrrrrr!
As you can see we pretty much rock the world of fashion. We couldn't think of what to be for Halloween so I got online and looked up pregnancy ideas for costumes. One of them was being a drunk with a beer belly. So Velvet was a lazy trucker, I'm her Ho, and Axel is our illegitimate child. I'm thinking of sending in my pic as a P90X after photo. I can see my headline now! "Not only will you see the pounds fly but it will change your sex!" Well maybe that isn't such a good idea after all. It might sell in California though. (No offense to people in California reading this)
We went all out as you can see. We cut off some of my wig and taped it onto Axel's head (he freaked out by the way) for his mullet, and doesn't it look so good. Velvet even did my makeup, which of course I have never worn before...ever. (I expect Meagan, Megan, Katie, Brandice, Krista, Alicia and of course my own Velvet, to keep their mouths shut if they know what's good for them!) Featured below is Samatha and Doug as Dracula and uh.... Lord of the Rings wife? Actually I really don't know if there was a correlation in their costumes. Then Abby was there as Jane air (yeah I know it is not spelled that way but I can't spell it any other way that looks right to me), then we have Holly and Tason Lewis my cousin and her husband dressed up as punk rockers.
All in all we had a really good time. We played games and watched a scary movie. Everything that a good Halloween party needs. Well that is all that I have to say today. There is other things to report on I'm sure but I can't think of them so with that I will leave these images burning in your mind and bid you adieu.
Well the day has finally come and we've added a new member to the Hubbard household! Grady Mack Hubbard was born on October 23 2010. He weighed in 7lbs 3oz and is 19inches long. I must say that the timing of his coming was actually pretty good. This past Wednesday we decided to go out on one last date before we became limited. So we went and watched Inception, which was excellent by the way. Then we moved our own Halloween party from Saturday to Friday so Brandon and Marlee could make it. We played the Farming game until 11:00 then talked until 12. Then at 2 in the morning I remember this voice swimming towards me through a strange fog. "Ellliii...Ellliiiiii...MY WATER BROKE!!" Suddenly I was awake and in a state of denial. We had just gone to the doctors office that day and there was no sign of birth on the way. But water doesn't lie, especially when it is breaking. Does that even make sense? Oh well it sounds pretty good. So here are some pics after it was all over.
Here he is! Right after the nurse rubbed him down and had him weighed.
When we brought Axel in to see him he just walked over and stretched out his arms asking to hold him. So we took a few pics. Lets hope he keeps up this attitude of good will when we bring him home!
Velvet wanted to hold him with a provocative look, or is it a stay away look. Hmm, I can't tell. Oh well.
And last of all we have the little guy with his dad. What a touching sight!
