February 2016

We started February with a celebration for my 33rd birthday!


Other highlights included Valentine's Day, 
a baby shower, and swimming lessons!

Cuties in red!


Hudson's school had a field trip to sing songs at a retirement home 
and at the school district's main office. They also handed out handmade valentines!

Hudson was SO cute, and I had a hard time not tearing up as they sang:

Love, love, love. Love, love, love. 
See how it grows. See how it grows.
I love my friends, and they love me. 
We love each other; that's plain to see. 
There's plenty for a big family.
Love, love, love. Love, love, love.



We had a virtual shower to celebrate Sarah's twins, and it was SO MUCH FUN! Leslie sent Sarah's husband decorations, games, and even had a him get a cupcake ready for Sarah! I love, love, LOVED seeing my sweet friends and celebrating Sarah's sweet babies!



Hudson also started swimming lessons! 
He REALLY enjoyed making sprinkles (little splashes!), thunderstorms (BIG splashes!), and sunshine (no splashing!). He was pretty hesitant to put his face in the water, but he tried! He also floated on his back. He really liked one of the other little boys in his class, and he had fun playing games at the end of each class.


The rest of the month was spent...

sleeping



reading



playing outside




{happily} playing in the bath



exercising




brushing teeth



building



vacuuming



trying on sunglasses



driving




and eating: )

January 2016

2016

January was a BUSY month for us, and it was definitely a fun one: )

We snapped some photos of the cousins before Indigo and Lisa headed back to London.


We also celebrated Nick's 35th birthday at his parents' house! 
We had a yummy dinner, and those of us who weren't sleeping watched the Chiefs.


Hudson also spent some cold evenings painting.


Mama with Chin Hair
(HAHAHAHA.)


Daddy with a Green Load of Laundry
(HAHAHAHA.)



CG still didn't like the bath much. 
We started putting them into the bath every night, 
and sometimes he would play for a minute or two before crying. 
He even let me make him a horn one night before he started screaming! 


One cold morning we went to the Natural History Museum!




Our biggest event in January was Hudson's 4th birthday!

When we asked Hudson what he wanted to do for his birthday, he requested the same events from his 3rd birthday...so that is what he got: )

We had a family pizza party, and Hudson was SOOOOO excited! He requested a chocolate cake with M & M's, but he didn't want icing on his piece. HAHAHA.


The marble track from Lisa, Dave, and Indigo was one of his favorites!


One last sleep as a 3 year old!


Before we left for Hudson's birthday festivities, he opened his present from us...
a tablet!


We went to Kansas City! 

Our first stop was the candy shop: )


We made our way to Fritz's next!


Our last stop was Union Station!
