Easter Eggs

Daddy and Joseph colored eggs Saturday evening! I boiled 12 eggs and bought PAAS "Egg Heads" coloring kit from Walgreens. They turned out so cute and Joseph really had fun doing this. We have been reading "The Easter Prize" a book my parents gave Joseph when I was still pregnant with him.. While he was coloring the eggs he was telling us about the Easter Prize and the prize egg! Really the prize in the book focuses on sharing the Easter eggs. After we colored the eggs, I decorated them while Joseph and Daddy played with June Bugs...Joseph would NOT hold or touch a bug!

Easter Pictures

So last weekend Joseph spotted Joey's motorcycle helmet in the garage. Joseph wanted Daddy to wear it, and not take it off. Even when we ate dinner Daddy had to wear the helmet, and if he tried to take it off Joseph had a fit!! So Daddy got really tired of wearing his motorcycle helmet around in the backyard, so he took it off and put it on Joseph. Then Joseph would not take it off!! So we sat him down in my bluebonnets and we took some Easter pictures! They turned out cute! So Happy Easter from our little racer!

My BIG boy!

Oh where do I start? He is officially having two-yr-old melt downs often. Just ask my mom who stayed with us last week :) The best thing to do is let him have his fit and then move on. He is talking so much these days it's hard to keep up. He's saying so many sentences now. He also babbles on and on about trucks usually. He has ALOT to say. He likes doing most things himself, brush his teeth, water the yard, walk Gina on the leash, he does not want our help. We are slowly introducing the potty and he will sit on it, but still has only pooped in it once. He sometimes tell us when he needs a diaper change. He totally understands "if you eat this, you'll get this" We do not offer desserts or sugary foods after meals, but he knows where his dinosaur vitamins are and he always wants one. I do not want him to take it on an empty stomach so we make him eat his dinner before he gets one dinosaur. And when I said eat that and you get a dinosaur, he ate it as fast as he could ha! He is super fast and loves to run and kick, he loves going outside and being pushed in his stroller. He also loves pushing his stroller. He still loves his daddy and is so excited when he gets home from work. With me, he's always more excited to see Gina. He is really into tools and helping Daddy work on things like the lawnmower and motorcycle. If anything is loud he will let you know and say "I don't like it" Even when he sees my bread machine in the pantry he'll point and let me know it's loud. I gotta get him up from his nap!

Welcome to the world!

Happy 1st Birthday Hudson!

 Hudson!

 The 5kers, Joey, me, Dreamor, Uncle Davy, Jesika, and Aunt Sharon

 SUGAR!

Last Saturday we started off our morning by meeting some family at Rice University for the Stride for Stroke 5K run/walk. This is the 2nd year we've participated with Dreamor who survived a stroke 2 years ago while pregnant with her daughter, Scarlett. So we walk for our 2 survivors-Dreamor and Scarlett! After the 5K we went to my cousins house to celebrate Hudson's 1 yr birthday. Joseph loved the bouncy house and pinata. I At one point he was double fisting with 2 suckers in each hand. Boy was he drooling! It was a great day and Joseph slept like a baby all the way home and until 8:30 the next morning, he was worn out! Happy Birthday little Hudson!

Touch A Truck

Our first stop, the Memorial Hermann Life Flight helicopter. Joseph got to walk around in it!

My personal favorite- the PURPLE monster truck!

Touch a truck was a free event in the Woodlands last weekend. It was a little (and big) boys dream! Lots of trucks, tractors, busses, and even an ATV and helicopter! The children could drive, play, touch, and enjoy everything about these vehicles. If you know my Joseph he is ALL about wheels, wheels, wheels! They even had a huge sand box and little play areas with hot wheels to play with. He did not want to leave and cried when we had to go. We will plan on going again next year!
