Guess who's One!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hudson turned one! YAY!  We got to spend his first birthday at my grandmother's cabin in Williams, AZ.  He had a total of 2 cakes and about a dozen cupcakes to choose from.  His great Aunt brought a cake, Great Grandma brought the cupcakes and we got him a cake too.  He was definatley one spoiled little guy.  So we let him dive into the cupcakes, and sang happy birthday with the regular cakes.  He didn't really get his face too messy, it took him a while before he actually put anything into his mouth.  I think his hands were the messiest.

Happy birthday little guy, we sure love ya!

Balleret

Reagan started "Balleret" as she likes to call it.  She has been waiting so long for this and was so excited when she found out she could sign up this year.  She is so stinkin' cute in her little outfit. 

Preschool

Reagan started preschool! Yay for her!  She was so ready, she didn't want me to walk her in, but I did, she didn't want me to take pictures, but I did. And when it came time for me to say goodbye, she didn't even look at me and just said "bye mom" as in okay you can leave now, i'll be fine.

MY 1ST GRADER!

First day of school!

He was so excited to go to school this year. 

It's kinda weird having him gone all day,

but he is loving school, and making new friends.

Finally was able to convert this and get it uploaded.  I think I did good for my first time.

wow, it's almost been a year!

Okay, okay I guess it's time to update this thing.  We've had an exciting last few months.  The kids are growing up so fast and keeping us really busy.  Hudson is now 10 months and is our climber...he can climb on nearly EVERYTHING, he has also become a very fast little crawler.  He LOVES to get into things he's not supposed to and sort of laughs when he's caught.  The kids have had a blast with him and they are always willing to help him out of tough spots like when he gets high centered on a toy or under the kitchen table.  He's really been a lot of fun to have around.

Reagan or "rudy" as we like to call her is a little princess, well she honestly believes that she is.  She can be so sweet at times and then she can turn it around in a matter of seconds and becomes the sassiest little thing.  She has a fun imagination at one point this summer she had to take her "dogs" everywhere with us.  We couldn't leave them at home by themselves and had to make sure they got out of the car before we could close the doors.  She is so fun with the boys and isn't afraid to go out in the dirt with Zac and get all sorts of dirty.  She loves hunting for worms in our "yard" which is just a whole bunch of dirt right now.  She gets to start preschool this year and is so excited to go to school like her older brother.

Zac still has as much energy as ever!  We have learned to focus his energy in sports and he has been taking Karate for nearly a year now, he did little wasps wrestling for the last couple of years and tried t-ball this year.  I'm not sure if he loves the sports or the interaction with the other kids more.  Either way it has been something he really enjoys.  He is in the dual emersion program at his school and is learning Spanish.  He will be going in to first grade this year!  He is excited to eat lunch in the lunch room this year, and learn some more spanish.  We had him in summer school  this year so he wouldn't forget the spanish or english he learned last year.  He is also excited to be at school all day...but i'm not sure how long that will last once he realized how long it really is. 

 

Hudsons first hair cut done by me...poor little guy, it didn't turn out so well.

My brother and his wife were moving from Colorado to Washington and stayed with my parents for two weeks, so we tried to cram as much stuff into those weeks as possible.  The kids were sad to see them go they all get along so well and have so much fun together.

Ha, ha, my mom and angie at lagoon! 

It's been a fun summer and we are sad to see it end.  I feel like we haven't done half the stuff we wanted to do, but I guess that's just how it goes.  We still have a couple weeks left, maybe we can get some more stuff in.

Lots of pics~

We took the kids to Disneyland. I had never been and Jeff hadn't been since he was little. So this was so much fun! We really had no idea what to expect, but WOW!! The kids had so much fun, and it was fun to see their reaction to all the rides and characters. Reagan was especially fun, she'd wait her turn and run right up to the characters and just melt into their arms. She was in heaven! We waited about an hour to see 3 princesses and we were one of the first in line to see Tinkerbell.  We didn't get to see Cinderella, her favorite.  Hopefully next time.

Zac liked seeing Mickey Mouse and Buzz the best, but he didn't seem that into it. He was more into the rides. His favorite was Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Carribean and the Buzz ride inside California Adventure. We took him and Reagan on the Tower of Terror, or the "tower of hell" as Zac liked to call it. They didn't want to get back on that one! We probably shouldn't have taken them on it, but both wanted to go, and we really didn't know what it was...oops!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, a pirates life for me!
