big ol' blog

this blog is a long time coming, so it contains snippets of things that we've done for the last month or so. in looking at pics to choose, it seems that we have had a busy busy month!

hudson has been alternately into coloring with crayons and just playing with the crayons. also, trying to sneak away with crayons as if mommy doesn't know what's going on.



had a couple of babies over to play in the backyard. hudson loves his waterpillar and his pool. yay for summer!



playgroup one week was at a great park in hillsboro that has a water area. hudson was shy at first, but once he decided he was going in, that was it! soaked to the bone!

rolled around on the floor for almost half an hour in his blankies. soooo happy!



dumped out all his musical instruments and decided to play the ukelele in the container.



went the the park with nanna. hudson was very happy working on his math skills.

we did some landscaping work in the yard and hudson was a big help. luckily, nanna bought him his own set of yard tools so he can now help daddy with his chores.



went to the zoo with nanna. she bought hudson a cute little wolf harness so that hudson can walk around and not just be stuck in the stroller. he loves it.

the zoo is having a dinosaur exhibit which is very cool. this is us in front of the giganotosaurus. awesome!



playing the drums at the zoo.



after the zoo, we went to the rose garden. hudson was so excited to see baby squirrels. he desperately wanted to pick it up and carry it around.



finally figured out how to pull along his little puppy. thinks it's soooo funny if mommy or daddy runs around the house with it.


before we went to victoria, canada, we stopped at brian's uncle mark and aunt paula's house in port angeles, washington. hudson was so happy to get to play with their dog, teddy. we think teddy was happy too.


on the ferry over to victoria.



went to the butchart gardens while there and hudson got to go on his very first carousel ride. he was very focused, which means he was very happy. and he was none too pleased when we had to pry his little fingers from the pole to get him off!


decided to be happy again when he saw the frog water feature and got to put his hands in it.


nanna played dress up with hudson and put him in brian's old sailor suit.


another pool day!!


nanna brought hudson a "push pop" maker and put some yummy banana yogurt in it and froze it up! hudson gives it a thumbs up!well, that's it for now!
