Happy Birthday to Hudson!!!

Yes, my girl's birthdays are 4 days apart. Hudson's birthday was on Saturday the 9th and Harper's was on the 5th. This year Hudson turned three and it was quite the fun birthday. She was really aware of what was going on and that it was her "special" day. Every time someone came over with a present she would squeal with delight and immediately open her present. Marlee (my sister) was the first to arrive. She gave Hudson Jammies which she immediately had to change into.

Here she is in here new jammie's (her obsession)

Some of our other family members dropped by as well, Bonnie & her kids, my mom & dad, and Tommy's mom, who gave Hudson the most beautiful Kimono that she brought back from Florida. Hudson loves her Kimono she wore it to church on Sunday and everybody was having a fit over the way that she looked.

It is so much fun having a little girl that reminds me so much of myself. She is so head strong and knows exactly what she wants. Hudson makes us laugh at her twelve different outfit changes each day and the songs she sings to herself while she is playing. I think that she believes that she is Ariel she does the voice thing ahah ahah aha ahha (when the sea witch is stealing her voice). We sure love our firery red headed girl.

Happy Birthday to Harper

Harper turned one year old yesterday! I can't believe it has already been a year. Some times I am afraid that I am going to wake up one morning and my kids are going to be all grown up. They grow up way to fast! Here is Harper on the day that she was born.
Harper is such a sweet little baby. Here is a "small" list of my favorite things about Harper:

  • I love how happy she is and how she always smiles when I talk to her.
This a picture we took at the bowling alley a few days ago.

  • I love the silly faces that she always pulls.
  • I love, love, love her happy dance. When she gets excited or happy she sways her shoulders around and we call it the happy dance.
  • I love when I open the door in the morning to get her out of her crib, I can hear her kicking her legs in excitement before she even sees me.
  • My most favorite thing has to be when I pick her up and snuggle her close, she buries her head in my chest and pats my back.
  • We are so blessed to have such a sweet little baby in our home and we are looking forward to this next year with Harper.
