Today's Menu

We have to so many toys I forget about them. I was digging through the closet and found Somer's Play-Doh sets so we get them out today. I would like to say that I got so much done while they were busy (for 2 hours), but I played too.

Somer is building her monster burger.

Yum!!

Hudson pretends to take a bite. I'm not sure what he was pretending it was???? Something chocolate I hope!

Today for lunch we have Play-Doh hamburgers with chips or sweet potato fries, spaghetti with meatballs or a nice lettuce salad with tomatoes, onions and mandarin oranges.

Hudson Turns Two

Hudson's second birthday was June 11th. The kids and I went with the whole Gill family (minus the men) to Michael's Uncle Tim and Aunt Debbie's house. They had fun playing and seeing the new house.

Hudson and Ella play on the living room floor.


Debbie let the kids make their own pizzas. What a crazy lady!



After lunch, the kids eat ice cream sundaes.




Picking cherries.


Hudson's birthday party was on June 12th at our house. He like the Backyardigans so we had a themed party with Pablo on the cake.

Hudson and Daddy open his presents.

Hudson's favorite card sang the Backyardigans theme song. We had to hide it so he would open the rest of his presents.

Blowing out the candles. They were a little tricky. Somer had to help him get them blown out.

Look!!!

Way Too Long!

Wow, it's been eight long months since I last posted anything. I can't believe how time gets away. The holidays get so busy and basketball season was horrid this year with 3-5 games a week (One week the cheerleaders traveled over 700 miles!). Then spring fever hits and there's no time to be indoors on the computer. Since school got out the end of May we have been camping, went to Clarence Homecoming and the Shelby County Fair, plus numerous visits to the new Shelbina Pool. Our most recent adventure was to take the kids to their first St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. It was pretty fun, very hot, but fun. We went to the Thursday afternoon game then spent the night and visited the zoo on Friday. The kids really had fun and even though it was almost 100 degrees that day, we saw almost all the animals. Here are just a few pictures from the weekend. I will try to get some pictures from the summer posted soon.

Somer, Hudson and Daddy find our seats. We were three rows from shade so we moved up and sat on the back row of our section. There we were shaded and had a nice breeze on our backs.

Somer make her first Build-A-Bear at Busch Stadium. She picked a pink Cardinals cheerleader uniform and named it Stuffty Beary. How original!Posing for a quick picture outside the stadium. We bought Hudson a Fred Bird since he didn't get to Build-A-Bear.Drake, Aunt Mini and Uncle Big were also at the game. Somer and I walked over to see Drake and take a quick picture.

Friday at the Zoo. Hudson did not want to take his picture with us. This orangutan pushed his face right up to the glass and just sat there like he was playing with the kids.
