The New Kitchen!

Finally...pictures of "The Kitchen".  Hudson was very excited to see the UPS guy walking this big box up to our door as we pulled in the driveway.  I took it up to the play room, opened it up, dumped it out, and began the long process of putting it together.  I have never seen anything purchased in a box like this where you have to put EVERY SINGLE PIECE together!!  It was insane!!  Jason was out of town so I worked on it until both me and the kids lost our patients.  Once Jason came home, he picked up where I left off...using a power drill!  Why didn't I think of that?!?!  Eventually, it was all put together and has supplied endless amounts of entertainment for both Hudson and London.  We now eat lots of pretend food and drink lots of pretend drinks! 


Here is the massive pile of stuff that had to be broken out of its plastic webbing and snapped and screwed together.

Hudson used my camera to take a picture of London while I worked on the kitchen.


This is when Jason came home and took over!


Yay!! We have a kitchen!!  Time to play!!

Birthday Card From Grandma & Grandpa Holladay

London received her first birthday card from Grandma and Grandpa Holladay!  They gave her some money to put in her piggy bank!  Thank you!!!

Just Playin’

I was playing with the kids one day and decided to get out the camera.  They were very willing to pose for me this day.


London loves to pretend she's talking on the phone now!  She has the cutest baby babbles!

Hudson loves playing in the pillows on our couches and making houses out of them.  He was actually "Ironman" in this picture and he is popping out of Ironman's house to see if anyone needed to be saved from any monsters lurking around.

A Visit From The Galant’s!

The weekend after I came back from visiting Emily, The Galant's stopped by for a visit!  We love them and wish we could see them more often.  They have 2 absolutely beautiful girls: Gray and Isla.  The girls have the cutest little personalities and Hudson had a blast playing with them.  There were lots and lots of wonderful giggles!

Thank you to Emily & Bernd!

 I'm trying to get caught up on my blog again! 

Emily and Bernd gave Hudson and London some awesome birthday presents while I was there visiting.  Since London was with me, she got to open hers while we were there.  Hudson opened his as soon as I came home from the airport!  He was incredibly excited and as soon as I told him about the gifts he said, "Oh wow!!  Thank you!  That was so sweet! (those were his exact words!)".  They got him a great Lightning McQueen game.  We have since designated Wednesday nights as family game night.  It is so fun to be able to play games with Hudson now.  He also got a new football so he and daddy watched the Texans play (and win!) and tossed the football back and forth.  Hudson is actually super good with a football.  He still hasn't decided if he is right or left-handed but he can launch that football like a rocket with either hand!  He can also catch the ball really well too.  And finally, they also got him a magnadoodle (which is great for him to use to practice writing his letters) and a new book.  Thank you sou much!!  You made this little boy VERY happy!!
