Day at the Creek

We went to the farm the other day so that Hudson could play in the creek. I think that it was just an excuse for Hunter to get his play time in. That's okay... we had fun. :)

Hudson was probably saying "mine" in this picture. It's his new favorite word.

Catching crawdads.

Don't let him touch it!!! :)

Hunter is my 3rd child (at heart). Love you H!

This is serious business.

I think they ended up with 5 or 6.

This butterfly stayed on my foot forever. I had to take a picture.

1st Bath Together

It was very selfish of me to give them a bath together. For some reason I was thinking it would save me some time and get them to bed earlier. Whatever... but we did get some cute pictures.
Half hugging half hitting.

Hadley and her amazing blue eyes.

My Loves :)

Katie and Kevin's Reception

My cousin Katie got married earlier this year with their immediate family. She and her husband had a reception on the 4th of July. It was so good to see all of our family. Congratulations Katie and Kevin! I'm so happy for the two of you!

The 3 Stuffelbeam Brothers

The boys (with another fire truck in the background). :)

We have been to this station twice in the past few years. It's right across from Wrigley!

This was in July of 2008. I was pregnant with Hudson.

July 2010. Little did we know... we would take the picture in the same spot 2 years later with 2 kids. :)

Do we look anything a like? I'll take anything... ears, mouth, eyebrows... anything. :)

This is talent! And a picture that may embarrass her some day, but I think it's adorable.

1st Trip to the Zoo

We took our first trip to the zoo while we were in Chicago. Thank goodness my sisters were there to help. 4 adults, 2 kids is a much better ratio than 2 to 2. :)
No children were harmed in the taking of this forced photo. :)

Me and my joeys. If only I had a pouch to carry them. I would get so much more done with two free hands. :)

Hudson was laughing because he kept throwing Hunter's hat on the ground.
Best view of the zoo was on dad's shoulders.
H isn't quite sure what to think of this whole zoo thing.

1st Family Road Trip

I got to sit between two car seats in a tiny little seat. When I tried to sit up front with Hunter the back seat passengers went nuts.

The best road trip driver!

If only she could have done this the whole ride. :)

Hudson knows all of his farm animal noises now!!!

We took our first road trip to Chicago. It usually takes Hunter and I about 9 1/2 hours, but this time it took 12 1/2. Needless to say we're waiting 5 years to travel again, getting a new car and buying tons of Disney DVDs. We still have a lot more pictures from our trip to post.

Hudson's 1st Haircut


After the haircut... "No more pictures please!"




I know what you're thinking... he has no hair. He had a few stragglers so I took him to my friend Megan who cuts hair. She is actually from my hometown. She and I grew up together, went to church and played soccer together. Hudson did great! I hope that when he gets his first "big" hair cut he does just as well. :)
