The "boy" is 4...

Well, today (tomorrow, bc I'm writing this tonight) is my second child's (Hudson) 4th birthday. He came into the world at 10:48 pm on Friday, June 30th 2006. We were so very blessed to have a healthy baby boy, weighing 7'15" and measuring 20 3/4 inches long. Now he is 36 lbs. and measures 42 inches...wow, how time flies...here are a few pictures of the past four years with our little "butter head".

American Girl Store...

Well, we did it, we made the trip down to Dallas to visit the American Girl Store. Alee decided that what she wanted most for her 5th birthday was an American Girl of the year, Lanie :) So, everyone went in to get her the doll and we wanted to make a fun trip out of it!!! Kristy, Kayli, Alee and I drove down and made a day out of getting the doll. We shopped on the way down, spent some time at the store, got a few accessories at the store, ate dinner there, had fun dessert late, shopped more the next day, went to IKEA for the first time and drove home. It was super fun...thanks to Grandma Slayden who kept the boys and enjoyed some time with them while the girls went away (although, we've decided to take Grandma next time and leave the boys with Papa or the dads). Here is a cute picture of the girls with their dolls. Alee kept telling us that it was the best day she has ever had :) They had a really good time!

Time to EAT!!

Baby food! Yuck! My least favorite stage of baby...but it must be done, so we are starting today with rice cereal. It went about how I expected, he spit it out but didn't mind spoon after spoon of the bland stuff. Here's a cute picture of our first try this morning :)
