Happy St. Patty's Day

Every year my mother-in-law throws a Green Party for St. Patty's Day it is so much fun she has all green food. Irish Stew, Corn Beef & Cabbage, Green Cornbread, Green Punch, Green Milk.

Here is the dessert I made, Green Peppermint Brownies. Which my friend Jill made at her Green Bunko party this week. They are so good, I had to make them.


Here is my baby all worn out at the end of the night.

Here is Hudson & his cousin Jonnie chillin in their bumbos.


Here they are ticked as can be.

Jackson was being quite the sour puss, he would not turn around for the camera.

I finally had to bribe him with dessert.

Here are my BABY must haves

A great swing- I love this Fisher Price papasan swing, because it swings both ways and it is very cradling. I couldn't survive a day at home without it.

This swing is also great it has all the features of the papasan swing but it plugs into an outlet so you save on batteries, plus it is about $20 cheaper!

Car seat cover- these are the best they are super stylish and are easy to wash. Also it is a must have when you use the same car seat more than once. Toddler ones are also fantastic. You can purchase these at shesgotitall.net

A great camera- you must ALWAYS have a camera on hand with you wherever you go when you have kids. So a small one like the one I have( a canon powershot) is so perfect. It is small enough to fit in my purse everywhere I go, plus it is easy to use and produces great pictures. Sometimes the best shots you get are when you aren't expecting it so you need a camera with you at all times.

Diapees and Wipees case- love this it is so nice having your wipes and diapers in a little pouch, to be found easily in your bag or to take out and bring it with you when all you need are those items. I love mine. You can get these at shesgotitall.net as well

Great Photographers- There is nothing more important than capturing moments of your precious little ones. While using your own camera is great, a professional can really give your family pictures together that are more than posed. They can capture your life together and your love for eachother. Sloanphotographers.com are the best. They know what they are doing and you will not be dissapointed.

A Bumbo- I know a lot of you already know what is so great about these. They let your little baby sit up before they are able to on their own. I love mine it is so much fun to sit down together as a family and have Hudson sit with us on the table like a big boy.

Baby Einstein DVD's- Now these are Awesome. Nothing will keep a baby occupied for hours more than these educational dvd's. They are from 3months old to 5years, and they come out with more all the time. They have colors, shapes and now a signing one. These are so great if you don't have them already you should definitely invest, they will last a lifetime.

Best buds

Jackson loves to watch movies, which he got from his mom. Now he wants Hudson to watch with him, he loves hanging out with his little brother, and I love watching them together. It is such a sweet sight to see them together like that. I hope they become the best of friends.

My Boys

I just wanted to say that the boys in my life are so special to me. I love all the joy they bring into my life. They are all so different and I am lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful family.

It's A GIRL

Congratulations Jules. One of my best friends Julie Meadows Peay is having her first baby due to arrive in August. Can't wait to see the little one. Love you Jules

Baby Sally

I have a new niece, Miss Sally Cummard born to Dave & Syd Cummard on March 2. Weighing in at 7lbs and 20 inches long. She is BEAUTIFUL. Congratulations Dave & Syd, she is number 5.

Hudson's Blessing

We blessed Hudson yesterday at our ward. All of our family was able to come which was so nice since we live so far away. Thank you everyone. Doesn't he look like a little man? So cute! Also Cheryl, Hudson's Grandma, made these cute shoes, which she makes for all the grandkids on their blessing day. Thanks so much Cheryl we love them.

Blogging

Howdy, I just want to encourage anybody that doesn't already have a blog to do one. I love looking at my friends who have blogs already, looking at their pictures and hearing all about their families. I would love to be able to keep updated on all my friends and family. So please join in on the fun of Blogs, can't wait to see what comes!

Happy Birthday Shea Lea!

My good friend Shea Lea turned 26 today! She is also engaged, Congrats Shea Lea. Love ya

Isn't he Cute!

I walked in on Hudson today just laughing at himself. Don't you love when they do that. So I decided to get the camera and he kept on smiling. He is such a sweetheart.

Happy Birthday Katherine!

Just wanted to wish my good friend Katie Wilkins a Very Happy Birthday for the big 26! Hope it is a great one.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT VALENTINES DAY. WE LOVE YOU

1 Month Old

Hudson is now a month old and as cute as ever. He is starting to smile a lot more, but as most moms know nothing is harder to catch on camera than a baby smiling. They love to do it right before and after. This is as close as I could get to a smile.

A match made in Heaven

I recently went to my girlfriend Jennifer Stayner's babyshower, where she had her new daughter Brynlee there, born December 27th. She is so super cute, what a great pair her and Hudson make, who knows what will come of this!

Jackson's Field Trip to Peter Piper Pizza

Jackson and Kai



For the field trip to Peter Piper the kids got to make their own pizza and take a tour of the kitchen Jackson loved it, he made a cheese, olive and mushroom pie. It was super yummy! He loves playing with the boys in his class, especially his new friend Kai.

Big Brother Jackson

Jackson is such a great brother. He is always wanting to give loves. Course sometimes it is too much, but he means well.

Photoshoot with Hudson

My best friend Angie and her husband Matt Sloan are photographers Sloanphotographers.com. They came over a couple of weeks ago to take some amazing pictures of Hudson. They turned out great, if anyone is in need of any photography you should definitely give them a call. Here are some pictures.
