Birthday Boy!

Someone please tell me where this last year went because I can't figure out how we went from this...

To this so very quickly!

We spent the morning with family eating a donut breakfast, opening presents and sustaining black eyes. Then we ventured out to the mall to have lunch at Ruby's and Build a birthday bear.

At Ruby's they surprised us with an ice cream and they all sang to him. As you can see, he was very confused...

We watched his bear get stuffed.

They let the kids help.

Then each of the kids got to kiss the little hearts and put them in.

Sadly, on occasion, I have been known to turn on a movie for Hudson while I put the other children to bed. We quickly found out the only movie he will sit through is "UP". So naturally, he had to have an UP cake for his Birthday.

He LOVED it!

I can't believe how big this guy is getting! We love him to bits! Happy Birthday, Huddy!

Christmas in July!

Apparently, since it is not actually Christmas, He only gets half of his two front teeth...

I don't know which is more amusing...

The fact that my 4 1/2 year old insists on going out in public in clothes that were manufactured to be worn by stuffed bears or the fact that they kind of fit her?!

Good thinking on the non-toxic products there, Crayola!

I was in the kitchen thinking to myself what a good homemaker and mother I was, scrubbing the kitchen whilst wearing an apron and baking delicious goodies and what not...

He was on the floor in the living room being fed water color tablets by his bigger, more mischievous brother.

I just can't win, can I?

Twins...16 months apart

You have no idea how many times a day I receive comments about how cute my twins are. The most amusing is when somebody asks how old they are and I say, "3 and 4." They give me the weirdest looks. Most of the time, though, I just say thanks because, really who has time to sit a correct a stranger whom I will probably never see again. Better to let them walk away talking about my twins than to waste my precious time in return for them to think I'm a nut. I can't blame them. I mean, look at these two.

They're the same exact size now and Charlie doesn't really look like a baby any more.

I should probably re-adjust and say that they are triplets because Baby Buzz is permanently attatched!

What do you think?

and just because she is adorable!

Children's museum pics that I never posted

Irony

Today, on Mother's Day, Hudson said his first word very clearly.



It was "DADA"
