May

May was a fantastic month.  Busy, and hard, but so good.  Joe was working a ton, our boys would say good night to him on Sunday and not see him again until Saturday because he left before they woke up and got home after they went to bed.  Thankfully that was only for 10 weeks and we survived.  Happy news of May, Joe graduated!  I am so proud of him and cannot believe all that he has accomplished.  I am so happy!

Big Blue Eyes!  

Hudson on the train at Six Flags.  We got season passes, and it has been so much fun!  We loved getting to go all summer, and it is Hudson's favorite place on earth right now.  He rides all the kid rides all by himself and just loves it!

Selfies!

Playing with cousins

Reading books with Daddy!

Graduation day!  Wahoo!

April

I don't think much happened in April.  We just were getting adjusted to our new home, and other fun things. 

Super Hero Hudson!

Hudson's friend Emmaline came to play.  They are such good friends!  We actually lived in the apartment above her parents in Rexburg while we were both pregnant.  Last August we walked into church and there they were!  Who knew we would both end up in St. Louis?

Hudson about to take the hill...a.k.a. our driveway.

Sweet baby sleeping

Go Cardinals!

Kaden loves books as well!

Isn't that just the best little grin?

March

Well our biggest new from March is that Kaden finally started growing!  He his twelve weeks and just plumped right up!  He hasn't stopped growing for one minute since then!  I am so happy that he is finally healthy and we don't have to worry about his weight anymore! Our other big news from March is that we finally moved into our own house!  We are so incredibly blessed by this.  Everything just came together perfectly and everyone involved was so wonderful.  We are renting from some friends in our ward, and they are such fantastic people.  The house is gorgeous and perfect for our little family.  In fact it's a bit big!  We live on a cul-de-sac just across the main road from my in-laws.  It's nice because we are close enough to walk to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  The cul-de-sac is fantastic and we spend a lot of time outside while Hudson rides his bike, scooter, and roller skates around and around.  We also have a neighbor who is the same age as Hudson and they love to play together.  Time for pictures!

Stretching 

My first book order from Scholastic!  This is one of those childhood memory things.  I remember always getting the flyers, circling all the books I wanted in it, and then my mom picking a few to buy.  Book at my parents house are treasured, read often, and loved well.  They are the same in mine.  Hudson LOVES books.  We read them a lot and he was so excited for all of his new books!

These two...

I know it's blurry, it's just that they are both smiling!  I love it! 

Matchy Matchy Cousins!  I'm not sure how Hudson ended up in those pajamas, but they were so cute together!

I feel like this should be on a Christmas ad or something...he loves to pretend like he is Santa. 

Look at those big eyes!  

This is the living room in our new house.  Hudson loves to look out the window and watch what is going on in the outside world.  He especially loves garbage day. 

Kaden practically lived in this swing.  He slept in it all the way until he was seven or eight months!  It was a hard transition to the crib, but we did it and he sleeps so well!

10 weeks!

Alright friends, here is my big giant blog dump over the last few months.  This year has flown by and my blog is among the giant list of things that have been completely neglected since Kaden was born.  Sorry Mom!  Mostly it's going to be pictures, because I don't remember much else!

This post is one that I had already uploaded pictures up till Kaden was 10 weeks.  I'm going to finish this one first, and then go from there. 

Joe and Hudson at the St. Louis Arch.  This is one of the cable cars they used to bring people to the top of the Arch when it opened in the 60's.  The new ones look pretty much the same, but white.  My parents came for Kaden's baby blessing so we were waiting for them while they went up in the arch. 

Hudson riding one of the cars at Union Station.

I think this is going to be one of my all time favorite pictures.  Hudson adores his Grandpa Bigler.  My dad is such an amazing man, and I am so grateful that he got to come play with my little man!

You just gotta have the Daddy and baby sleeping pictures!

Look at that frowny face!

I actually let Hudson finger paint...he had a blast!

All ready to go!  Isn't he so cute!

This was his first round of vaccinations.  I felt so bad for the poor baby, he just bled and bled.  I have never seen a baby bleed like that and it was so heartbreaking.  He was a champ though, so precious. 

This was one of his first smiles!  I love how happy he looks!

Thanks Aunt Allison for the cute cute cute penguin outfit!  I'm so sad he was too small for it and then by the time he grew into it Spring was here and it was too warm.  At least he got to wear if a few times!

Hudson put this bucket on his head and said "Look!  I'm Santa!"  You can tell he is still in Christmas mode!

Hudson LOVES the baby's binky.  It's funny because he would never take one himself!

Grandpa offered to change Hudson's diaper, when he came out Hudson was wearing the baby's pants!  Poor Grandpa!  But it was sooooo funny.  I think we all laughed for a good 5 - 10 minutes!  This is what newborn sized pants look like on a 2 year old!

I love sleeping babies

We went to a train store to play with trains, and then Hudson was so excited to get to actually look at some train tracks!

All ready for church!  Isn't he so handsome!

We took Hudson and Andrew to the Magic House.  They had so much fun!

Joe even had a mini tea party with them...

I don't know what these are called but they are fun.  This is Hudson.

This is Joe and I kissing....I look like the baldie...no biggie.
