Baby cold

Sweet Lincoln has a cold, please say a prayer for him! It's awful listening to your baby have a stuffy nose, sneezing non-stop & coughing. :(

Lu You

Hudson is really starting to pay attention to Lincoln and he's so sweet with him. At first he would try to love on him and it was just really rough but he's learned to be gentle with him. 

This morning I was in the dining room and had Lincoln in the swing in our living room, well I hear Hudson run to the living room so I peek my head in and Hudson is standing there watching Lincoln covering him with his B and saying, "hi bebe, lu (love) you, lu you Bebe, oh Bebe hi Bebe." It was so sweet! 

So excited to watch these boys grow up, everyday is so fun with them even the no good hard days are still a blessing with them. Just gotta keep remembering that :)

Mornings

This morning we went on a 3 mile walk, it is so nice to get out of the house and enjoy this nice weather. I packed Hudson a snack, trucks and of course his B which kept him busy on the walk. It's also trash day so we saw the trash truck (as Hudson calls it) 5 times which he LOVED. Lincoln slept away in the baby carrier on me!

I gave Lincoln a bath this morning which he loves, he's such a calm baby and just goes with the flow on most things. He also is very observant with his surroundings I can always tell he is taking everything in. 

Joyce brought me these beautiful hydrangeas from her garden, I love having fresh flowers in the house. Thanks Joyce they're my favorite flower :)

Farmers Market

We love going to the farmers market, it makes for such a fun morning. We walked thisornimg from our house it took us about 10 minutes to get there. This week we got kale which we always get, corn on the cob, homemade sourdough bread and pork from a local farm. We would get more veggies but we run out of room and time :)

This week they had a ballon artist and I just had to get Hudson one. 

When it was our turn he asked what we wanted and Hudson said... Take a guess ... :) TRUCK. So he recommended Mater! 

So I had to know all about this hobby of his and he said he's been doing this since 1980 & competes internationally. I asked him how long it takes to learn a new project and he said not long at all, he has hundreds memorized. All he needs is a picture and he can make it is what he told me, WOW!! 

this & that

I love this outfit & this little boy!!

Hudson loved putting his tools in his pockets, which he just discovered :) I also taught him how to scratch, which explains what he's doing in the picture!!

Lincoln napped at the park while Hudson played. 

Hudson mowing the yard for me.
