A Few Things

::  I am soooooo excited for zumba tonight, I really need it today.
::  I bought these pretty apothecary jars and filled them with pink and red candies, the only problem- I can't keep them full, it's not me I promise! ;) maybe that's why I need zumba tonight. :)
::  I am considering putting Hudson's dresser drawers under lock and key-he changes his clothes 5 times a day.
::  Baby girl cut her third tooth-my kids are slow teethers-I'm OK with that.
::  Speaking of that baby girl, she keeps me on my toes.
      -If the door to the linen closet is open she is tearing Kleenex out of the box and eating toilet paper.
      -If the door to the pantry is open she is pulling boxes of cereal off the shelves and helping herself.
      -If the door to any given bathroom is open she is playing...well never mind.  Let's just say I had to wash her hands about 10 times yesterday and change her clothes about 5 times.
      -She loves to "help" in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher, taking out the garbage, sweeping the floor. She is always "right there" when you need her. ♥ 
      -She won't stay sitting to save her life-  she sits in her highchair for about 2 min then she finishes her meal standing, and I have my arm out  ready to catch her. She even stands in the grocery cart. JOY!
      -She crawls around the house pulling up the vent covers-just because she can, she doesn't want to play with them she just wants them out of place.
::  Who needs zumba when you have Miss. J?
::  I am going through Kindle withdrawls-I need a good book, any suggestions?
::  It's happening again, more pink and red candies disappearing--that darn Hudson.

My One Year Old Girl...


Cupcakes for a princess.

 Digging in.
 NOT loving all the attention.
After a little time out with mom she was ready to open presents....With a little help from her brothers.
Fun Day! I can NOT believe my baby is 1.

After the party was over I put her back in the highchair to enjoy her cupcake in peace, and enjoy it she did!!




Yummy!
I think a sink bath is in order.

While she was opening her presents she was standing up to the coffee table and let go and took 2 steps to the couch!! She is getting so brave!


We love our baby girl/sis & we can't imagine life without her. 

Hudson Turns 3!!


My sweet boy turned 3 on Sunday


Don't let this picture fool you this poor boy was sick, sick, sick on his birthday.  He was running a serious fever that I almost couldn't control with Tylenol and Motrin. Hudson wanted a football cake so Nate took over and decorated the cake, I think he did great.  He will be decorating every birthday cake from here on out. ;)
Three candles.


Make a wish.....


Hudson loves motorcycles and before he even unwrapped this one, he said, "It's my bike guy?"  He loves it, now he calls it his "big guy" because he's never had a "bike guy" as big as this one.

He had a big year as a 2 year old.
He became a big brother.
He learned how  to go potty.
He learned how to dress himself.
He learned how to love nursery.
Then he learned how to hate it again.
He learned how to sleep in a big boy bed--in the basement.
He learned how to "walk like a good boy" along side the grocery cart.
He learned that he loves his daddy best. "daddy is my own Huddo"  and when Nate is holding Joslyn he says "daddy is MY Huddo!"
He learned how to hold his own against his 2 older brothers and to be sweet and soft to his baby sister.

You've grown so much Hudson we can't wait to see what you'll learn as a 3 year old.
