Wagon Ride

Corey took everything out of the shed today. This meant that Hudson got his first of many wagon rides. He was giggling and laughing most of the ride. He especially likes it when Corey gets them going fast and then lets go. 




No Privacy

Corey and I don't seem to get my privacy. Our bathroom doesn't have a lock on the door. Also, if you don't push it shut it doesn't always close all the way. 


This morning while Corey was trying to shower, Hudson found his way into the bathroom and was trying to climb into the shower with him.



4-Wheeler

Charlie has been wanting to ride a 4-wheeler forever. He talks about getting one all of the time.  When we were at the Sportsman's Show, he kept trying to pick one out. 


We were at my parent's farm on Saturday morning. I had a baby shower for my friend Pam and Corey was helping my dad hang sheet rock. 


Uncle Josh stopped out to get his 4-wheeler. He asked if he could take Charlie on a ride. What an excited 3 year old we had.





It was a gorgeous morning! The boys had a blast playing outside.

Spring-like Weather



Local Library

We are very lucky to have our library so close. It is only a few blocks from our house. We hadn't been to story time in a while. Charlie and I decided to check it out this morning.

This mornings story time was about colors. They listened to a few books about colors. They did a activity about colors they were wearing. Then a felt board story about different colored bears.

They finished by making rainbows.

 Corey had a hard time believing that Charlie laid all of the fruit loops down in that straight of a line, but he actually did!


After story time, we went into the library. Charlie has started using their computers. They have some great games available for kids to play. Today, he played Dora.

 Our trips to the library are never complete without playing a game of Sorry-Sliders. The game pieces of a roller on the bottom and they slide on the board.

Of course we came home with some great books. One for Corey, two for me, and Charlie picked out 4 books and a movie.

Dancing Boy

Corey found a video of Elmo on YouTube. It is a remix of I'm Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO. It is called I'm Elmo and I Know It. He showed it to Charlie, but Hudson has come to love it. He was getting really cranky after supper last night and as soon as we started playing it, he was as happy as can be. When it finished he started crying again. We ended up playing the song 3 times.

Here is some video of Hudson dancing the other night:

Charlie's Day

Hudson has been really needy lately. He has been cutting 4 different teeth. So a lot our time has been spent on him. So on Saturday, we dropped Hudson off with Grandma and Grandpa and Charlie got us all to himself.

It was so much fun to just spend time with him. Talking with him. Watching him. He has grown up so much lately. 

We had a very busy day. We started at the Sportsman's Show at the FargoDome. Charlie loved looking at the pontoons. He found a couple for Grandpa Dan to purchase. We checked out the different campers, but Charlie was really looking forward to fishing. He didn't catch anything, but he still had fun trying.



After that, Charlie chose supper at Space Aliens. He loves playing the games, but the whole time he kept on eye on their back hallway making sure that the alien wasn't coming out.



After supper, we headed to the Fargo Force hockey game. Charlie was really excited to see his first hockey game. It was all he could talk about for days beforehand. 


I really enjoyed our day with him. It was special to be able to give all of our attention to Charlie for a night. 

Cleaning Buddy

Hudson loves to be held. It always wants to see what you are doing. The past few weeks Corey has just strapped him on while he has been cleaning.

Time Together

I love being able to spend time at home with our whole family. I know that this time is going to fly by. We had a snow day and school was cancelled. I decided to spend the day enjoying it with my boys. Down the road, they are going to want to get together with their friends on these day. So right now I am treasuring these days spent at home playing together. 


The boys are starting to play together more. Hudson likes to be wherever Charlie is at. Charlie for the most part enjoys having him around as long as he doesn't mess up his toys. 






Corey and Charlie went outside to take care of all of the snow. Hudson was eating a snack at the time. I looked outside and this is what I found:
Eating some snow!

A little later I look out and Charlie is trying to snow blow the steps with his toy lawn mower. Unfortunately, the tires kept getting covered in snow.
