Party

Emma had four friends over last weekend for a fancy party.  I love how she orders things. Below is her dress- up area as she set it on her bed.

I was so thankful to have my sister, Audra, here as my party assistant.  She did nails, frosted cupcakes, helped with the games, and busted out some cool dance moves with the girls as we listened to Toby Mac. :)

The girls had such a fun time...dancing, dressing up, going on a Treasure Hunt that Daddy designed, playing "the cottonball game," and singing, "Happy Birthday to you, cha, cha, cha!"

Roll Over

The other day, I laid Chap on the bed & found out that he knows how to roll over.  I laughed as I took these pictures and he kept his eyes on me the whole time... He's such a cuddly little guy right now.  He gets tons of kisses and squeezes every day.

Three

We have three birthdays in three weeks in this family.  Hudson has been patiently waiting for his turn.  Today, he woke up and said, "It's my birthday! I'm free(three)!"  He is super excited for his tractor cake, and for an afternoon of swimming with his floaties on (and parental supervision, of course).

The word that comes to mind when I think of Huddy Joe/Huds/HudBud, is "Happy!"  He is joyful, wakes up with a smile, and loves to tickle, laugh hard from his belly, and snuggle. He gives Chapman huge, slobbery kisses.  I'm not kidding-Chap's forehead is actually wet after Hud kisses him.  Chap was crying recently and Hudson said, "Don't be sad, Baby ChapMINT.  Big HudSINT is here!"

He loves "Big Ba-chines" (machines)and "mow-mows."  Lucky for him, his grandpas both have John Deere tractors, so he gets lots of rides.

This photo of him sleeping during one of his afternoon naps reminds me how he is quickly growing up from toddler to little boy. Hudson, we sure love you!  You are so special, and bring us SO MUCH JOY!  God has blessed you with a sweet personality and an ability to make people smile.  We pray that you will follow Him all your life.  He has great plans for you.
