Hudson got his first hair cut. He had old man hair on the top so we took the clippers and made it all even. Much better now!
My friend Shelly is very ill and has to stay in bed a lot of the time. I brought Hudson over with me when I went to visit her and he was just being his usual sweet self and making her smile. He loved her and would press his forehead against hers and just start laughing. It was really sweet. He is just a little ray of sunshine wherever he goes!
Yummy roast dinner with roast, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, and yummy gravy! Since we aren't at my mom's house every Sunday anymore, we get to have our own roast dinners. Hopefully we can have friends over more often on Sundays. That's our new goal.
Hudson has grown up so much this month. He sits up great, then started crawling, and is now pulling himself up on everything! All within a month, it's crazy! He also is really loving toys now too.
James is training for two half ironman races this year with the St. George race coming in May. He wanted to multitask so he had a conference call at the office to be on, so he rode his bike at the same time. He is crazy, I know. Whatever works and takes less time away from us, I am good with! haha
Claire and her favorite past time of taking photos of herself and others. She is naked half the time because she is still peeing a little in her underwear before she makes it to really go on the potty. This happens atleast once a day. It drives me bananas. She'll get it, she just likes to do things her own way and is very stubborn. I love that girl!
St. Patricks day was fun but not quite as fun as usual since it wasn't on a school day. Lucky the leprechaun brought the kids chocolate lucky charms (that was all that was left at walmart), green ring pops, and turned the milk and toilet water green, and left their doors shamrocked. The kids loved finding the four leafed clovers on each of their doors. I love celebrating holidays with the kids. It makes it so much more fun!
Look at this big boy standing up in his sister's crib! Claire has also become obsessed with blankets nowadays too. She has about 10 different blankets that we have to go through their names as I lay them on her. (silky, peppa, tiger, heart, sheep, special, flower, etc.) This along with her animals and sheepy the pillow pet make it quite crowded in that crib of hers. She loves it though!
Carter started up lacrosse practice again and is really enjoying it!
The weather is finally getting a little warmer so the boys have been having fun driving Claire around.
James got an invite up to Sundance for a business ski night with hors d'oeuvres at the top of the mountain. He took his friend Ben from the neighborhood as his plus one since I have vowed no more skiing for life! haha
Such pretty scenery!
Found Claire at the bottom of the stairs watching TV. All of my kids love to lay here for some reason.
Bath time!
While James was riding his bike in the basement Claire came in with this getup. Love that girl!
Found this spatula in the bottom of the dishwasher. It smelled like burned plastic the rest of the day. Yuck.
Snuggling on a Sunday morning together.
My brother Greg who is 38 and has never been married, finally found the girl of his dreams! We absolutely LOVE her and she fits so well in our family. Her name is Cathy and she is 36, has a little daughter Lucy, and has never been married before either. They are so perfect for each other. Greg got a ring and wanted to propose that night! We helped him come up with a fun scavenger hunt with clues and flowers at each stop.
She started at Somewhere Inn time reception center and I was standing there (she was supposed to meet Greg there) and was so surprised! The next clue led her to the house I grew up in, then to her dad's grave at Orem Cemetary, and finally ended up at Orem High School where she and Greg originally knew each other. She was two years younger than him in school and he had a crush on her back then. Life is crazy how it all comes together! They are getting married on June 14th and we couldn't be more thrilled!
The boys practicing lacrosse in the backyard. Every time Carter caught the ball he won an m&m and every time he made a bad throw he lost an m&m. He loved it!
We got the boys new beds. The bunk bed was breaking and looking like it was ready to fall in on Preston. It was time and they both wanted their own space. I think they are loving them.
Claire had some chocolate chips one morning (she hounds me every day for a treat! I was on the phone, don't judge me) and she dropped a few that Hudson managed to get a hold of. He was so proud of himself and loved every minute of it!
It has been a busy month. I feel like I have had dinners with friends and church stuff almost every night of the week! We had ramen noodles this night (which my kids never get) and they thought is was the coolest thing ever. Mom of the year award right here! haha
