Con-Crete

Haven and I were looking at a map tonight and pointing out the different states that our family lives in, and she said "I know where we live! We live in concrete!" I laughed so hard! She was close! (for those who don't know, we live in Crete!) Silly little girl... =)

Mother's Day

Happy mother's day to all of you wonderful, hardworking mothers out there! I hope you all had a great day. Harrison made this for me in sunday school this morning and it cracked me up. If you can't read it, click on the picture to make it bigger.

He told me that the reason I was pretty as a beach is because of my beautiful blue eyes! What a charmer! =) Oh, and then he said "you are 17, right mom?" And of course I told him the truth... that I will always be 17! ha ha.

come again another day

little Harrison wants to play...

A few weeks ago we had Jody and Boz over to play poker. The kids had just gone to bed and Harrison was still awake. We kept hearing him messing around upstairs and I finally went to check on him. When I got to the foyer this is what I saw:

I had him interpret it... it says: "it's not fair that you guys get to eat!"

He saw that we had snacks (seriously, what is poker with out junk food?!) and apparently he was upset that he didn't get any! So he found some paper, made this sign, then posted it to the wall using soap and water!!

Hudson's first food

Hudson had rice cereal for the first time tonight. He was not impressed! I don't think he actually ingested any of it!! We had good fun watching him though! I didn't get the best pics because I had to feed him then put it down and grab the camera after each bite. I missed most of his inital reactions, still funny though.

The whole thing was a bit traumatic for him! After I was done trying to force the spoon into his mouth he started sucking his hand (which he does to comfort himself) I think he got more rice cereal in him from sucking his hand then the several attempts I made to feed him.

Hudson's 4 month check-up

Hudson had his 4 month check-up today he weighs a whopping 15lbs 13 oz!! My baby is getting big! Harrison went to the appointment with us and the doctor let him listen to Hudson's heartbeat and help measure him and stuff. Harrison likes the doctor and talked her ear off. He was telling her how he goes to work every morning (he actually does, every morning after breakfast he goes outside and "works" -work consists of either working in the yard raking, sweeping, picking up sticks, etc, or working in his "yard" and area of the yard where he has tools and pieces of wood and fence) and she asked him if he had any animals. He gave her this crazy look and said "I'm not a zoo keeper! I'm a carpenter and a fence man, I work for Master Fence and own many companies!!" It was so funny, he takes what he does VERY seriously and he couldn't believe she was asking him that!
