Spring Time...





This is our neighbor, Hannah, she went with us to our church's Easter Egg Hunt, they had a blast on the slides.



I love headbands, I think all I need is an orange one and we'll have all the colors :)











Peas, anyone? She was getting sleepy, but I'm sure she managed to finish her food :)










There are lots of deer, lions, bears, dinosaurs, etc. in our house. Thankfully we have sharp shooter H!



Easter










I was determined to get a picture of the 4 of us but it didn't happen. We haven't had a family picture together since the day I had Hollynn. But Easter morning we were rushing out the door. I had been waiting to take a shower since there were thunderstorms and I'm scared to shower while it's storming so as normal, we were rushing around like crazy getting ready.


It's been fun sharing the true meaning of Easter with Hudson this year, he's old enough to understand and I love watching the wheels in his head turn. He soaks everything up!

Faith Like My Child...

I have not been the best mom with taking pics so all of these came from recent ones with my phone, sorry for the quality.


This is what happens when nap time doesn't come at normal time! I love the flipped over John Deere hat in his lap.
Yesterday (well, several days ago now, when I started this post) we were praying at breakfast and after Hudson prays he always has anyone who is there to pray as well. So as usual he said "Amen" to his prayer and said, "Go mom" and I said, "Thank you Jesus for our food and help us to have a great day." As soon as I said Amen, he looked at me and said, "Mom, I can't wait to have a great day today!" I melted right there in the kitchen. Oh to have faith like a child! Sometimes I get in such a routine with things that even my prayers are the same and I say great things but did I really put thought into it and mean it? He really made me stop and think. I don't want to get in such a routine that I'm just going round and round in the same ol' circle. You know what, we did have a great day yesterday! Hollynn was the best she's ever been away from me and Hudson just enjoyed himself no matter what he was doing (nothing out of the ordinary here!). I ran for a straight 15 minutes without thinking my insides were going to explode (yay for c section scar not killing me!). Thank you Lord for our great day!



Hollynn has been sitting up by herself for about a week and a half now and she can also pull herself up (started this 2 days ago)! She is starting to mimic Hudson and it just cracks us up.



We have a busy few weeks coming up and I'm really excited about it. Last year I was sick and Hudson didn't get to do all the fun things going on. But this year we have 3 Easter egg hunts lined up. Swim lessons start next Monday and last for two weeks and blast ball (sort of like tball, it's to prepare them for t and baseball) practice will be starting up soon. I'm pumped and I know I'm going to be one of those crazy mama's cheering my boy on (not crazy like on his case, just excited crazy :) I want to get us Carney shirts with his # on it but that may be a little to extreme since he's only 3 (haha!). He is so excited too, and asks me when he can play baseball every day.
