Sitting in the Stroller

You get a much better view when you can sit up in the stroller. He is able to keep a better eye on what is brother is getting into.

Mini-golfing

We spent the weekend at Ottertail. Charlie and Hudson had gone down on Friday night with my parents. Corey and I went to my 10 year high school reunion on Saturday. We then went to the lakes on Sunday and stayed until Monday night. Monday we took Charlie and Cade mini-golfing. 

Nap Time at the Lakes

All three boys found time to nap at the lakes this weekend!

Baptism

We had Hudson's baptism on Sunday. It was a beautiful day. We were so fortunate that our family and some friends were able to attend. Here were the decorations:

We served hot ham and cheese sandwiches, ranch bow-tie pasta salad, fruit, and cake.

It was a beautiful service. Pastor Gary always does a wonderful job. Kasey and Lisa are Hudson's godparents. Charlie and Brooks both wanted to join us up front.

 Hudson's outfit is the same outfit that my uncle Kevin, my brother Josh, and Charlie have all worn.

 Brooks and Charlie went up for the children's service.

Brooks found Pastor Gary very interesting!

After the ceremony, everyone came back to our house for food. Hudson had most of his close family with him.

 Great Grandma E. and Great Grandpa Bup

 Great Grandpa Bill

 Papa and Nana

 Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Dan

 Uncle Travis and Auntie Juls

 Uncle Josh and Auntie Kelsey

 Mommy and Daddy

The rest of the kids had a blast playing:

First Night Away

Corey and I have a birthday party to go to tonight, so Nana and Papa are taking both boys for the whole night. This will be my first night away from Hudson. Here they are all ready to go:

I will let you know how Hudson did (and Mommy)!

Icky Weeds

Charlie has been such a good helper lately. I was outside pulling weeds this morning. Instead of playing, he comes over and helps me. 

Pool

We went up to the pool last night. This time we took Hudson in the water for the first time. He didn't seem to mind it. He did really enjoy watching Charlie play.

 All ready to go!

 Daddy dipping Hudson's feet in for the first time.
