Updates & Such

Wow, with so much to update where do I even start.
Maddox is on his way to turning 6 which means kindergarten is right around the corner. You know the baby that started this blog and all. Our infertility journey seems like such a long time ago.

Emma turned 4 in February and we celebrated with live bunnies. Oh yes, a bunny party!

If you live anywhere near Charlotte or Winston, NC and your children love bunnies I highly recommend
Mrs Cottontail and Friends

And last but not least the baby, Hudson turned 2 in April!
How is that even possible. All three of my kids are over two.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Some of my favorite childhood memories were Saint Patrick's Day as a child. When you went out to the playground or to lunch and came back to find your school room a complete wreck. The leprechauns had came. And this year I am brought back to those memories by my children.

Over two weeks ago the kids started anticipating catching a leprechaun. And have pretty much asked every day if it was Saint Patick's Day yet. So the day has came!!

They were careful to dress in green from head to toe. In fact Maddox made sure he even had green underwear. And I've been told you must wear boots to catch a leprechaun. Only because you may have to track through the mud or creek to chase one. But of course he would let him go after he took the pot of gold. 

And because Emma is snack leader today there must be green snacks. Green jello with cool whip & lucky charms, shamrock cookies & green juice: 

So here's to hoping they remember these memories like I remember my leprechaun  days 

Who's There?

After a much needed little break I am ready to jump back in. So first off who's still here? I would love to hear from you. We had such a busy summer and now we are mid swing into a busy holiday season. 

From the family's first flight to Minnesota to first day of preschool to  dance class and more. Tons of updates coming 

Easter Recap (A few months late)

Yeah...only a tad late I know.
For Easter we decided to head to the beach. And of course along with that went a sunrise beach service which I have always wanted to do. Only thing was, it was cold. Like 35-40 cold, eek. But we still crawled out of bed & got ready for the service. Only to get there and find out it was canceled. Good try!

But, that doesn't mean we didn't have a great time.

And one of the most special moments was seeing Emma & Hudson in smocked outfits from when I was a little girl (Emma wore my dress & Hudson wore my brothers)

Nothing is sweeter...

Oopsie.... Hudson James Turn ONE

So, apparently I never posted Hudson's 1 year! What kind of mama am I?!? Poor third child.

Well, as of April 12th Hudson James is ONE. Can't believe it myself. So of course we celebrated with cake.

And a yummy cake at that...

And this is about as good as a family picture as it gets...

And apparently it's hilarious watching a baby devour his cake
