steering wheel project

finally finished up hudson's toy dashboard. fancy painting by gramma buh, rest of stuff by brian with a touch of kelley help. he's very american in his driving so far... always multitasking with a bottle of milk or a stuffed cat on the steering wheel.





bottom of box

idea is the have him store his matchbox cars inside. we'll see


name this ferrari... it was inspiration for some of the dash


here's hudson getting to play with steering wheel for the first time. he just woke up from a nap so a little groggy...



and some random pics because he's cute

started playing with stickers recently

got some rain boots for the pending 6 months of oregon style winter


first pumpkin, coloring with dad

about 75% of time he rides dump truck backwards

hamming it up for the camera

bathroom done!

Brian is amazing and got our bathroom done! Kelley got to "decorate" and doesn't have to clean nasty linoleum floors anymore, so she is very very happy.


our new shower curtain. you can also see the bathmat which is the color of all our new towels.
the medicine cabinet, which someday will still need to be moved higher so that brian can see the top of his head when getting ready.

the new cabinet next to the toilet. our picture still needs to be hung back on the wall, but we'll get to that eventually.
a view of the vanity and medicine cabinet. kelley loves the size of this sink! it's humongous!

pic of the shower right after brian got it done. everything looks beautiful together now!
hurray for the house being "done"!

trip to NC

Had a fun trip to NC, spent time at Brian's parents then went to Lake with Rob and Laura and the rest of NC State gang. Nanna took lots of pictures. Hudson is starting to say more words, his favorite word in NC was "more"



riding brian's old rocking horse


nanna made mistake of turning on hose and giving to hudson

playing with brian's old cars, serious business

no stairs at our house so it was fun to crawl up and bump down on his bum
