Saturday was Jude's 1st birthday. Jude and his family live down the street from us and they are all good friends of ours. They celebrated Jude's birthday with a Crawfish boil and a pool party. (crawfish are a really big deal around here but, personally, I think they are pretty gross little creatures!...I love the potatoes, corn, and sausage though!) Unfortunately, it rained just as it was time for the party to start so we moved everything into the garage. The bigger kids still made use of the pool in between downpours. Hudson was especially hungry this day. I guess he is having a growth spurt or something but he ate 3 hotdogs...one right after another (without a bun though) and then he ate 50 thousand crawfish. His mouth was on fire after eating the crawfish but it didn't stop him...he was even licking the spices off of his fingers! He finally realized his tounge was burning so I got him so milk. He chugged it down and was ready to eat more! I finally cut him off b/c I was worried he was going to get sick. Thank goodness he didn't...he must have a stomach made of steel! He's going to be a true Texan!
Here he is checking out the crawfish while they were still alive. I think he prefers them to be soaked in spices and boiled!
This is Stephanie. She was Hudson's crawfish eating buddy. She was so nice to keep peeling the crawfish for him! (because there was no way I was going to do it! Yuck!) The guy in the background with the shaved head is Matt. He was the chef and cooked up 70lbs of crawfish!
Finger-lickin' good!
More crawfish Daddy! More crawfish! That's all we kept hearing. No one could peel them as fast as Hudson could eat them!

And here is the Birthday Boy! Happy Birthday Jude!
