May 2012 Recap

 Marshall stayed home from school with a sore throat (strep?) one day.  Coen watched nearly the whole movie with his foot up on the couch like this.
 My BFF, Melissa, volunteered to watch Hudson while John and I attended the Kansas City LDS Temple dedication. 
 He had been smiling, but I couldn't catch it on camera, but she did!

 Melissa's daughter, Brookelin, just adores him!

 I'm making sure this baby knows how to take a {pumped milk} bottle so I can get away once in awhile!

 Marshall made a cool paper bag puppet for fun.

 Coen is becoming quite the little builder.
 Clothes?  I had other things to worry about.
 Like keeping Hudson happy while I made dinner.  Seriously, love this wrap!!  And so do my babies!

 I was hoping moving him from the wrap to his tummy would keep him asleep.  It worked for about 5 minutes.

One day while I was in the kitchen making dinner, I heard a small noise coming from the other side of the couch and arm chair.  I peeked over and down, hiding in the corner, was Coen.  He had stolen John's Coke off the counter and was chugging away.  Sneaky boy!!

Easter

 Easter happened.  John helped the boys dye hard boiled eggs.  The E.B. came and left a lot of candy.  We went to church then came home and had a delicious ham dinner.  Took some pictures, then hunted for eggs in the back.

The boys outfits: Coen is wearing Marshall's Easter outfit from when he was 3.  My aunt Lorie bought my cousin, Adam, the same vest from the same store.  Imagine my surprise when I opened the box of hand me downs and found it there.  And lucky us that they both fit Coen and Marshall the same year!  The weekend before I had Hudson, my mom and I went on a search to find a coordinating Easter outfit for Hudson and we scored on this sweet little polo/shortall set! 







Hudson's Birth Announcement

I sent this out in April, but I wanted to post it here too.  I have to tell you what a killer deal I got on these babies!  (No pun intended.)  I created the announcement myself, using Photoshop and uploaded it to Vistaprint.  I had 40 or so in my cart and was going to wait a day or two until payday to order them.  In the meantime, Groupon had a $70 credit to Vistaprint for only $17!  To top it off, someone had used my referal link to Groupon and I had a $10 Groupon credit.  Meaning I paid a whopping $7 for the announcements and since I had credit left, I went ahead and ordered some personalized post-it notes for myself and for Marshall's teacher as an end of the year teacher gift.  Hollah!!
