Ultrasound

Our Family + New Baby = 4

Our family of three will become a family of four in September 2010! Hudson is very excited to be a big brother. He went with me to the doctor last week and was able to see his baby brother or sister during the ultrasound. He loves to give the baby kisses (my belly) and we have been talking about his move to a "big boy" bed soon so the new baby can use his crib....EXCITING!

Woodland Park Zoo

Today we went to the Woodland park Zoo with Mandy and Madelyn. We all had a great time and the kiddos were beat when it was time to leave. We saw penguins, lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and flamingos. Hudson's favorite animal was the giraffe. I have to say they were my favorite too. We also checked out Zoomazium the indoor kids area. Hudson loved the rock climbing wall, slide and drums. We will be back soon for sure!

My Valentine

FREEZE!

Hudson's all time favorite song at school is the "freeze" song. We now listen to it at home...a lot.

Valentine's Day Party at Preschool

On Tuesday Hudson's preschool class had a Valentine tea party. It was so fun to see all the kids so excited for their party. They all brought cards for each other and they ate at a beautifully decorated table (it even had flowers). They had heart shaped sandwiches and cheese and cookies. Hudson even painted a Valentine for me!

Painting

Hudson loves preschool, but has never enjoyed any of the art activities. John and I decided to get him some art supplies for Christmas to help him figure it all out. He is really into finger painting and coloring now. When he wants to paint he says "pay" and gets his smock and brings it to me. So cute!

My Little Fish

First Bath

Diving for Toys

"Watch me Grandma"

Hudson's favorite game "pop up balls".

Waitng for his lesson to start.

Hudson has loved the water since his first bath in the hospital. He has been swimming at lest once a week for the past year. He is in lessons and loves to swim at the public pool near our house. He is a little fish! I can't wait for our trip to Palm Springs this June. He is going to love it!

We love Tuesdays...

because we get to go to preschool!

Hudson Loves Charlotte

Best Buddies

Yesterday we had Madelyn here for the morning while Mandy was working. The two of them are hilarious together. They speak their own language and run around like crazy. They made a tent and loved playing in it. They also had fun saying1-2-3 and throwing the ball to each other. They are going to be friends for life!

Village Bean with Olivia

A few days ago we had coffee at the Village Bean with Shelbi and Olivia. Olivia is growing up so fast. She is already 4 months old! She is adorable and such a happy little girl. I only wish that I could snuggle her more...Hudson gets a bit jealous.

Happy Birthday Kaylin!

On Sunday John and I took Hudson to Kaylin's 2nd birthday party at Gymboree. Hudson had a blast! He ran around, jumped, chased bubbles, rolled, balanced and even got a cupcake! John and I loved watching him enjoy the party and the activities. I just got a little sad when I realized that Hudson's 2nd birthday is right around the corner. Life needs to slow down, it's going by too fast!

Sledding in Spokane

Hudson went sledding for the first time in Spokane. We only wish that it would have snowed when Brett and Melissa were here.

Snow in Spokane!

Shoveling grandma and grandpa's driveway.

Going for a walk in the snow.

Daddy took Hudson out to play in the snow yesterday. He loved it!

Aunt Melissa and Uncle Brett

Our whole family loves Christmas in Spokane. It's relaxing, we have snow, good food and most of all time with our family. We were so happy that Brett and Melissa were able to be with us. We don't get to seem them very often and we miss them!

Thank You Muse Family

Christmas Morning

Train Table...the favorite new toy!

Christmas morning was fabulous in our house this year. Hudson slept in, then crawled in bed with us for another half hour. When we went downstairs we told him the Santa had come and brought him some presents. When he walked into the living room he was all smiles! About an hour after we opened our Santa gifts Doug, Corinne and Greg came over for brunch and gifts. Hudson had so much fun and loved opening his presents. He started to get a little overwhelmed at the end, but did great. Everyone is taking a nap now (except me) and we are headed over to Doug and Corinne's for dinner tonight. Then off to Spokane in the morning!
