Summer is here!

I never know what to say on these blog posts anymore.  The kids are growing up so fast and I feel like it takes all of me to keep up with our crazy life these days!

Hud just finished preschool last week (He loved his teacher Mrs. Jackson) and is taking swim lessons and playing t-ball!  He is having so much fun!  I am amazed every day by how smart he is!  We have been working on adding and subtraction as well as reading.  He is such a sweet and ornery little boy.  Although, he isn't so little anymore.  He is no longer in toddler clothes and is very independent.

Alexis is getting to be quite the character.  She is sweet and sassy (my sister Jessica calls her a sour patch).  She is so loving and then will pinch or hit..... She loves doing anything Hudson does.  She also loves coloring, painting her nails, loving her babies, "loving on" the animals, playing with water balloons.... She is a fun one!

I love them both so much.  Hud is 4 and Alexis is 2.  It is such a fun time in our house.  We are finally able to get out and do things that everyone can participate in.  It makes it so much easier when kids can feed themselves and walk on their own.  We have been able to go downtown to the science center and on short hikes as a family.  So many new and fun things are happening.

For the past few months we have loved having my sister and her baby staying with us.  They recently moved across the country from California!  It is amazing having her and CP close by.  The kids love having their cousin to play with!

All in all, life is busy but so fun!  I feel so torn between being in the moment and enjoying time with my family and trying to capture everything via pictures and blogging.  There just doesn't seem to be time for everything.

So, Hudson and Alexis, The reason the posts are getting less frequent is not because I don't care.  In fact, it is because I'm trying to spend as much time with the two of you as humanly possible!  So many things are creeping into our lives that are creating distractions or taking time away from you.  I refuse to add to that.  I love you both so much and can't tell you how much I'm enjoying all our time together.  This summer is going to be so fun!  I can just feel it.  You both are at such fun ages!  I love you, I love you, I love you!  xoxo
