Birthday Continued!

Hudson has it good. Spring Break birthday means two parties for him pretty much every year! He chose Lightning McQueen for party #2! He is slightly obsessed with the movie Cars. :) And again, I chose a low-key, just your average cake and pinata party. With 7 1/2 kids running around, less is better. But there is still chaos, so I did not get great pictures. Thanks family! Hudson had so much fun!

The birthday boy!

And even though this was a pull-string pinata, we still let everybody take a whack! Please excuse Hudson's sagging shorts.

The gang. After party. Soooo done.

Thanks to our sweet friends for joining our train party!

Happy Birthday Hudson!!

Hudson doesn't turn 3 until Friday, but we celebrated early with our Austin friends today. We headed downtown to Zilker Park to take a ride on the Zilker Zephyr! So. Much. Fun. The kids loved it!

The Zilker Zephyr!

All Aboard!!

(No worries, Ellie did not ride alone!)

This was Hudson's face as we sang Happy Birthday. I'm not sure that he realized the party was for him until right at this point. Ha! And yes, we were really fancy with a blanket on the ground and cookies on paper napkins. But the train cookies were yum-my!

Yay! Veggie Tales Jonah ship! This was the only thing he asked for, I think he liked it!

I've been a little skimpy on blogs lately and that is mostly because we have been going through some terrible two's/three's with Hudson. It's been a rough month here at our house. We are thankful that God's mercies are new every morning! And we are leaning on Him to guide us on how to parent our little man! It sounds like we'll be on our knees through the next year too, we've been told that three is the new two! Super! More to come on our big three year old!!

Just For You Mimi!

Happy Birthday! We love you!
