Nanna Visit

Had a fun visit from Nanna... who is better at taking pictures than us so she gets credit for all the Hudson pictures in this blog.

Out for some ice cream with Nanna
Play area in the mall by our house (and by the ice cream place). Hudson knows how to get there and will point the way when on walks.

When Dad grills Hudson is right there next to him.


Soccer class, the actual soccer part in the beginning. Brian pass to Hudson is roughly on par with Xavi to Messi



Another trip to home depot on first Saturday of the month, another planter built.

So helpful. How would Dad ever get anything done without Hudson?

Uncle Ross wins brownie points for finding a few of the hard to find Cars for Hudson.



Brian and Kelley got a night in Seattle to see U2 while Nanna and Hudson stayed in Portland. Fun was had by all. Seattle concert crowd much better than LA concert crowd. Lenny Kravitz much much much less annoying than Black Eyed Peas (for an opening band)

Crazy Boy

Fun times at Farmington Gardens riding in the wagon and buying plants for the backyard. Hudson especially enjoys digging holes and finding worms. Talks a lot about bees. Not clear yet if he's for them or against them.




Fun new toy Hudson picked out using gift card from Nanna.


Documenting the growth of his seeds from Home Depot trip with Ian and co last month

If you load up your cart at home depot and have a cute kid they'll give you an American flag. Hudson says don't mess with his flag!

Bath time is lots of fun these days. It starts with bubbles

Then he insists on getting out to sit on the toilet, which he has yet to pee/poop in. Really it's because Hudson knows he gets a cookie for trying to go.
Then back to some more fun.


And finally it ends in tears because he hates getting water in his eyes.


Tough dude strutting his stuff




Hudson found Nanna's leftover soda in the garage and talked Dad into splitting a can with him. Started off cute enough...

still cute...

oh my! should have cut him off! Actually we can explain why our baby looks like he's been on an all night bender... Crazy hair from wearing safety goggles on his forehead. Red eyes from crying when I first said no soda. Skin discoloration on arm is actually stamps from soccer. And of course orange mouth due to soda.

"Soccer" class... 20-50% soccer, rest of time running around doing fun stuff like this.

Finally here's Hudson showing off his newest fav words... NC State. Sometimes the "state" part is silent, but we know what he means.
