Some pictures from Hudson's birthday at the Rainforest Cafe. He was so excited to see Britton, (he calls her his best girl!) they got to run around and have fun, it was such a good day!

We had a new member of our ward get baptized last night, and Hudson and I went. This morning in church they confirmed him, I told Hudson that this is when he gets the gift of the holy ghost.

I don't know if it's because halloween is coming up and we've been talking about ghosts or what, but during the confirmation Hudson stands up on his chair.
"Where is the holy ghost mommy? Is the holy ghost here yet?"

I get him to sit down and whisper to him that you can't see the holy ghost, but you can feel him, and I patted his chest, and told him that that's where you can feel the holy ghost.
Hudson pulls up his shirt and looks at his tummy.
He's got the softess tummy so I reach out to pat it because I couldn't help it
"Don't touch the holy ghost Mommy!" he says and hides his tummy.

Tonight as we were getting ready for bed I asked Hudson about what he learned in Nursey.
"About Heavenly Father and Jesus. They made a town for me. I love Heavenly Father and Jesus! Hurray Hurray Hurray! (This while he's jumping up and down making buttoning up his jammies rather difficult.)

Just some church funnies for ya!

Hudson attacking mommy. There are three posts today, not just this one, look at all of them!

Yes, I know this is a really unflattering picture, but we were having fun... (See previous post)... Besides, I don't waste time trying to be someone I'm not... World, eat your heart out!! I figure most of my family and friends will remember me just this way... but hopefully not ONLY this way... oh well...

When I woke up this morning it looked like the trees had barfed on my lawn, literally every leaf gone. I thought it'd be a good chance to give Hudson is first pile of leaves to play in. (In Seattle it was always too soggy, and in Ellensburg the CWU grounds crew did a good job blowing them away before we got the chance. Plus, it's so dry and crisp here I couldn't resist. It is my own lawn afterall... So we raked up a big pile and Hudson let loose, even kicking leaves all over me! We had so much fun, but it was getting dark and it was time to go in for dinner. Tonight we have a ward party, I'm excited, I made rice krispee treats. :)

So I go to Sharon's house after Hudson's first day at his new day care and he greets me happily. Sharon says, "I know what Hudson wants for his birthday."

I turn to Hudson, "What do you want for your birthday?"

"A BUFFALO A BUFFALO A BUFFALO!!!" He shouts, jumping up and down, "and a train," he adds almost as an after thought.

This morning, I asked what kind of Buffalo he wants for his birthday and he said

"the teeny tinest one I ever saw!"

"Well, good," I reply, "because you're not getting a full sized one."

Tonight at dinner Jason asked what Hudson would do with a Buffalo if he got one for his birthday.

"I dunno." Hudson said, "just play with it, I think."

What a hoot!

Things are going well here. We really like Havre, it's a cute little town. Hudson is in a new day care, it's a home day care, and it's smaller so I think it will be better for him. He's also still going to the big day care for preschool twice a week, and he's going to go on Fridays when I'm there too, so it all works out nicely. :) I'm still enjoying my job so that's good. Well, I've got to go get ready for general conference!

Check out the cute video of Hudson!

Hudson thinks he's raffi. He's pretty good at the guitar!
