Dr. Who?

Hudson was due for his 6 month checkup following tubes. And - although it's been six months - it seems he recalls what happened last time mommy said he needed his ears checked! After a good fit, a few selfies and some memorable videos of him playing with expensive medical equipment in the waiting room (and mommy videoing), we expect him to have a full recovery. 

Hudson, laughter is the best medicine. As ryker would say "I laughed happy tears" today. 

Found them here.

Approximately 8pm.  #brothers

Wake up call

Hudson. It's 630am.  I hear "up mommy, up!" as I glance over the side of our bed.  He's sitting patiently, entertaining himself, writing with marker on my pillows and dropping my earrings into the vase next to our bed. But who cares?  (Well, me, alittle. He's lucky he's cute). I love that he is learning patience as he waits for me to wake up. Priceless. 

Still waiting for Elle

Sweet baby Elle, the boys are super excited about meeting you! Here's what's been going on in thier minds these past few months...

1.  Ryker and Hudson love to watch you move and tumble in your mommy's belly. They aren't sure how got in there or how you are getting out, but it looks like you are having fun! 

2.  Ryker and Hudson have been spending a lot time in your mommy's backseat since she has been picking them up from school.  At first, there was some concern over how your car seat might fit! But don't worry, Ryker's got the seat assignments all figured out. You're good!  He's volunteered to ride in the back back. 

3.  Ryker thinks you are going to have blonde hair like Olivia. Hudson agrees. (Even though Hudson doesn't know who Olivia is) 

4.  Ryker is worried you won't have many toys to play with when you come to our house because we don't have any girl toys. But Hudson says it's cool, his mommy has plenty shoes, makeup and tons of spray cans in her bathroom drawers, which are way better than toys anyway. 

5.  Hudson is really looking forward to taking you for a spin on his 4-wheeler.  But it's likely Ryker will advise against that. 

6.  Ryker reminds us that we can only call you baby Elle for so long before we will have to drop the baby and just call you Elle.  Noted. 

7.  Hudson has really been getting to know all your "pals". (Not dolls, "pals"). In fact, your mommy even let him take one home and he named it Baby Elle. And...For Easter, your mommy and daddy got Baby Elle a friend who we call George. We can't wait for you to meet them!  

8.  Mickey Mouse and his clubhouse are the coolest characters ever. Ever. No question. We'll do the hotdog dance together. 

Waiting for Elle...

We really thought this weekend would be THE weekend we would finally meet baby Elle. It's no secret her arrival is highly anticipated and we can barely stand it. The excitement is building!! To keep our mind off the new bundle of joy, we kept busy swimming, cooking and soaking up the sun. Here are a few pics from the weekend. 

Next post: Baby Elle! 

Mother's Day

I love my boys!!!

My mommy and me

With daddy and ryker away, me and Hudson got to spend some quality time together. I love how he calls me "my mommy" and taps his chest. He gives the best hugs and holds my chin when giving me kisses (on both cheeks!). His smile makes my heart melt and his conversations keep me laughing!!  

(Thursday he came home with quite a bo-bo on his face. He had fallen on the concrete at school and had a bloody nose and knot on his forehead. Ms Ashee gave him lots of tlc I'm told.)

Father / Son fishing weekend

Daddy took Ryker to Lake Turner this weekend for the 3rd annual father/son fishing trip. 

I didn't hear from them too much while they were gone but I did get these few pictures. Which brightened Hudson and I'a day! 

Too cool for Hooters

Lunch with my boys. 

Conversations

Ryker and I playing Legos. 

Ryker: I'm going to go poo

Me: (laughing) Ok. 

Ryker: (serious) I'll call you.
