After Dinner Play Time

The boys love playing together after dinner--it is so much fun to watch.

Cool Pram

Here is the cool pram that daddy bought us after Hudson was born. We use is daily now that the warm weather is here.

More Jumping!

King Abubaba

I remember when we use to do this with towels when we were little. Isaac loved dressing up as King Abubaba.

So Wrong

Our church home group threw another birthday party for Kelly, Ivan and me. It was a fondu party and ohh was the food yummy. Ok, so the last picture posted in this lot of pics is pretty funny. I dropped something on the fondu table so Rachael had to feed me something. What are we doing? So wrong, but I just had to post this pic.

Hudson's Time to Shine!

Hudson LOVES his Jolly Jumper! I really need to post a video of Hudson in action as he really gets into his jumping. He actually starts jumping before we can get him into his harness--I have to hold him on my lap to strap him in and the whole time he is jumping in my lap! He is so cute. He loves to jump forward twice and then slide back on his toes, he twists from side to side, spins, and as you can see from the bottom photo he gets so into his jumping that he sticks his bottom lip out. :)

Brrrr!

We had a cold front come in the morning these pictures were taken. Nice pj's boys! Yep, it was a wee bit hippy inside our house this morning.

Thanks Grandma!

Grandma Felix passed along the great idea of using toothpicks during meal time to pick up smaller morsels of food. Little did I know how much fun using these would be for Isaac---he will eat just about anything, given that it has entered his mouth via the use of a toothpick. Check out his recent creation--thanks Grandma Felix for your help!

Team Time

We had a great time on our team retreat. Don't we all look beautiful? The boys enjoyed all of the extra attention and Isaac had a great time harassing Justin. :)

The Russian Ballet

For my birthday this year Josh took me to see the "The Nutcracker" performed by the Russian Ballet. It was fun having a night together out on the town, sharing a coffee, eating ice cream in the theater (I love that about New Zealand), enjoying the costumes (some more than others...but that is a whole different story), and appreciating the beauty of the ballet. Going to the ballet always makes me wish that I was a ballerina so that I could dress up in those amazingly beautiful costumes that all of the ballerinas get to wear! Ohhh, I just love them! Thanks Josh for my amazing birthday persent!

Friends

Yes, Isaac and Hudson are definitely becoming closer friends with every passing day. My favorite part of the day is watching the two boys eat their meals next to eachother...Isaac loves trying to get Hudson to laugh and he usually manages to succeed! It is cute to see how much Isaac enjoys having a little brother--he asks for him when he wakes up in the morning, when he is getting into his bath, etc. He says, "Where's Hudson?" I am so glad that they are bonding as brothers.
