Greenlake

It's been awhile, I know...I'm picking up where I left off in May and am hoping to be caught up this week. Sorry, enjoy!

We went to Greenlake to help celebrate a friend's birthday. Long story short, we had fun and saw some really cute dogs.

These two would swing for hours if we let them!

No, I'm not even kidding...

Yes, my boys have on matching shorts :)

Hudson loved the dogs!

Charlie wasn't quite sure what to think about them.

Mother's Day

My Mother's Day started off with Ryan making a big breakfast AND cleaning the kitchen afterwards. And not just cleaning the kitchen, but emptying AND reloading the dishwasher, yay!! We met our Moms for lunch at Molbaks, one of my favorite spots. Then Ryan and Hudson headed home (where Ryan proceeded to do laundry all day, yay again!) and the girls went to Beadclub to make their yearly Mother's Day bracelet. We had done this one time before, it's so fun. You buy the bracelet kit that they are featuring and then make it right there at the shop! You can see my bracelet in the pictures below if you look closely enough. All in all, it was a very nice Mother's Day!

The two amazing reasons I get to celebrate Mother's Day!

And Huddy's over it

Charlie however is just getting warmed up!

Am I lucky or what?!?!

Fun with Friends

Just a few shots from different days with friends.

Charlie and Macaela, our neighbor. These two are 5 months apart, we already see trouble coming!

Hudson and Jack eating yummy oreo cake

Yummy Popsicles with Maddie. This is the day Hudson had his tubes put in and adenoids taken out. He was off and running by 11:00AM that same day, you could tell he had instant relief!

Showing off their mini Popsicles, the perfect size for little ones!

Macaela getting in on the Popsicle fun too!

Weeding and Worms

While Charlie was napping yesterday afternoon, Huddy and I headed out to weed and look for worms. Hudson is an excellent helper. The day was gorgeous.

Ready to work!

Even though his face is cut off, look how excited Hudson is to have pulled a weed!

Checkin' out a worm

Curious about what's inside Mommy's tulips

Precious

My tulips mean a lot to me, and not just because I ordered them from Holland, but because I planted the bulbs when I was 8 months pregnant with Hudson.

Hudson is 3-1/2 months old here. This was by the same tulip, on his first Easter. I can't believe how big my baby boy is now.

Just Charlie

My precious baby girl is almost 8 months old and I can hardly stand it. She is still a love bug, so smiley, and still thinks Hudson is the funniest person ever.

Zoo

We went to the zoo last Saturday and it was the perfect zoo day! It wasn't crowded, all the animals were out, and the weather was fabulous.

So excited to sit on the hippo

One of the main attractions, feeding goldfish to a squirrel

Trying to chase after the squirrel

Komodo Dragon...can you tell Hudson is saying "whoooooooa"

Peacock on full display. He kept closing then re-opening his feathers. It was so awesome!

I love catching Ryan looking at our kids, melts my heart every time.

Hunting for Eggs, Take 3

On Easter Sunday, my parent's, Nonnie, and Ryan's mom came to our house for another (phew) egg hunt for Hudson and a no fuss, make your own sandwich lunch. It was very low key and relaxing. By this point, Hudson knew there was candy in the eggs. The Easter bunny however put $1.00 in some of the eggs. It was hilarious watching Hudson shake the eggs and then only open the ones where he could hear something rattling around. These kids are too smart!
