Hudson's Favorite Word

This is Hudson's new favorite word, so cute! He also started saying hhhha hhhhha for HOT. When I was cooking dinner last night I was holding him and he kept wanting to touch the pan, so I kept saying HOT and eventually he started saying it too. He also says gaw-gaw which is dog-dog (his name for Ivy)
He cut his top two teeth a couple of weeks ago so now he has four!! Big Boy!
He is not walking yet but he is getting braver, letting go of things and balancing on his own.
He loves to brush his teeth when the big brothers do. OH and speaking of teeth Braiden lost ANOTHER tooth, it seems like Hudson is just getting his and Braiden is loosing his :)


I love his cute little toothless smile!! He was very brave, HE pulled it out on his own this time. He shut his eyes tight, we counted 1-2-3, he yanked on the floss and it went flying across the room! Yes, the tooth fairy visited THAT night she didn't space this time ;) But guess who FORGOT to look under his pillow???? I had to remind him when he got home from school. If only we would have forgotten on the same day!



Yesterday was a fun school day all around. Brody's preschool had a Pirate-Princess Pajama Party for "P" day. Along with wearing their pajamas to school they were able to bring a favorite blanket or stuffed animal. Brody put his blanket in his backpack and wore it around all morning until it was time to go. Putting Brody in this preschool was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made, he loves it!! He asks me every day if it is preschool and if it is his turn to take snacks.



For Braiden, it was the 100th day of school, so he is now officially 100 days smarter ;)


Ivy is getting bigger, you see this is the thing. It is a sad thing when our babies grow into toddlers, but when puppies grow into dogs it is NOT a sad thing, not at ALL. I understand that Ivy has a while until she is fully out of the "puppy stage" but she is growing and getting better every day. I look back at those pictures when we first brought her home and think, how could something so cute be so naughty!!!


I have been busy scrapbooking in my free time, I love it! I even tried my hand at making my own blog backgrounds, I was very excited about that accomplishment!
Here are a few of my most recent scrapbook pages...




The pictures are a few years old but I'm playing catch up.

When Nate is not busy being a dentist he is busy being an electrician, heating guy, plumber, framer and rock layer. The house, the house, the house. It's coming along SLOWLY but SURELY. I have an awesome husband who is working SO hard to give us a nice place to live, I'm so lucky! I've been really bad about posting the pictures of the house, but the stucco is on, (the day after Thanksgiving) the rock was delivered last week so they can start on that now. I think we will be ready for insulation in about a week (knock on wood) I am starting to see the faintest little glimmer of light at the end of this long tunnel. :)
