Happy 1st Birthday, Hudson!

Yep, our little guy is one today. Time does go by way too fast. Hudson is still our smiley, happy and sometimes a bit of an adventorous little guy. He loves being with his Mommy, Daddy and his big sister very much. Ella loves to play with him most of the time and Hudson will just follow her around all day. Bath time is one of his favorite things. Once he hears the bath water running he runs to the bathroom and tries to take his clothes off and climb into the tub. He can always put a smile on your face and he is such a blessing.

We love you, Hudson! Hope you have a great first birthday, little Monkey.

Ella had her last dance class last night. We were able to sit in and watch the class and I even joined in on some of the dancing. She loved her dance class so we might have to enroll her in another class.

Hudson loved looking at the pumpkins

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with the kids. It was a great day with perfect weather. They had a petting zoo, play area, fort, train ride, wagon rides and much more. We took the wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch. Where the kids were able to pick out a pumpkin. As you can see from the many pictures we had a lot of fun.

I took Ella to the Princess Party again but this year we invited my cousin Amber and her little girl Mya. They watched a Princess concert, saw a Magic show, made bracelets, made crowns, decorated cookies,had their face painted and got their nails painted. The girls had so much fun at the party but it made us moms think we needed a day of pampering for ourselves.

Too Much Fun?

After the Princess Party Amber and Mya spent the night at our house since John was in Chicago. The girls had fun sleeping in a Princess tent in Ella's room. Which they had so much fun they had almost all of Ella's toys in the tent with them and didn't fall asleep until after 11 p.m. Then the next day the girls had fun running around outside and Hudson enjoyed watching them. Ella was so exhausted she was in bed and asleep before 7 p.m. She had a fun but busy weekend.
