Sweet Sweet Birdies

All I can say is ....life is pretty sweet! These precious little Birds brighten each day, make me laugh so hard I could cry, make me cry because I'm so happy, keep me on my toes constantly, have perfected the art of making a mess, love to be my little helpers, walk and talk and are always trying to get into mischief...I love it!

Say "Cheese"

Hey Hey Good Lookin'!

Fun in the sun!

 Miss Sophia striking a pose while....

Miss Isabelle "charges" it up...her signature look:)

 Hudson with his "assistant"! Oh I was one proud Mommy that he was actually sharing his toolbench! Big Step, Huge Step! He did tell me that she didn't have "tool privileges" yet but that he taught her how to hold and hand him the screws. I love that he has started to incorporate some of my terminology into his vocabulary. You see, all of his "stuff" from toys, to his bike, to TV time, are all privileges and must be earned through good behavior. Privileges are revoked if one is disobedient or naughty. Though sometimes I am not as strict as I ought to be, I try to be consistent. So he proceeded to tell me that so long as Isabelle was being a "good girl" she could earn "tool privileges"...love it!

And again...being the most awesome big brother and sharing one of his new birthday presents! Sissies loved them some monster truck fun with Hudson!

Random lesson for the day and another reason to put shoes in a closet where they belong.

End of the day snuggles while Hudson was off playing baseball with YaYa, GoGo and Auntie KK!

It ain't easy being 3!

Seriously, where has the time gone! 3 years ago today our family got a little bigger and a whole lot sweeter! God blessed us with the most amazing and precious baby boy....perfect in every way! He has brought more joy and love to our lives than we could have ever thought possible. Over the past 3 years, he has melted my heart over and over, has become my right hand man, has been the best son and most wonderful big brother. He loves all things boy from tractors to dirt to cars to anything outdoors, loves to help out always, loves to take care of the doggies, loves to snuggle, loves to read, loves to cook, loves time with family, loves the color blue, loves his Monday morning Naeglins with YaYa and KK, loves being a big brother and Daddy's helper, and LOVE loves to work!!! I can't imagine my life without my little man...Happy Happy Birthday to Hudson!!!

Enjoying his last night of being 2...PJ party and movie night with Mommy!!!

OFFICIALLY 3!!!!

Oh sweet Hudson....We love you to the moon and back a million times over!!!!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Isabelle, Sophia

Thelma & Louise

It's a lovely year for....

....A WHITE WEDDING!!!! We are over the moon excited that Auntie KK is getting married. Yes, my little sister is engaged!!! Even though this means she will be relocating to Dallas and we will miss her oh so much, we couldn't be happier for her and Koury!!!! Hudson loves his Auntie KK more than words can describe and Koury has earned his approval as well and even has tractor playing privileges...even I don't get to play with all of his tractors! Hudson told KK that instead of her moving up to Dallas that Koury should move down here...maybe someday:) He is super excited about slumber parties at their house though. We can't wait for Fall and the fabulous wedding. We wish them a lifetime full of unconditional love and happiness!!!

Toddler Tonsillectomy: Part 2

Praise the Lord....after a rough couple of weeks our little Birds are back in business!!! A tonsillectomy for Hudson, RSV for the twins, Hand Foot and Mouth for Daddy, and a test of sanity for this Mommy.... we survived! For a while, I felt as though we should have had a black flag with quarantined in big letters flying in front of our house... but, all in all, it could have been worse.

I am just ever so thankful that my children (and husband) recovered, thankful that everything went smoothly, thankful that we were able to comfort them, thankful that were able to love on them, thankful for the love and support we had from family and friends.

Beyond grateful for my fabulous and crazy family!!! Beyond blessed!!!
