It is such a beautiful day here in Havre, MT! The sun is shining and it's warm. We slathered Hudson up in sun block and spent an hour two in the back year enjoying the weather, blowing bubbles, playing with Sidewalk chalk, and playing with his new t-ball set. I won't lie, he doesn't show much disposition to being athletic at this stage in life. I know two year olds that can shoot baskets and hit home runs, but Hudson seems more interested in music and dance so far, and that's wonderful. We want to encourage him to pursue that which interests him. Neither Jason or I are very athletic and so there's no pressure for him to be the highschool football star years from now, but if he's interested he'll have our full support.

He's heathy and happy and loving life!

Ok, so this is a long video, but worth it if you want

a little glimpse into our Easter. Hudson really had fun getting in the spirit of things.

I have another blog! -- a spin off, if you will, from the original. I hope it sees more success than
"joey" from friends had.

It's a blog about me... :) I spend a considerable amount of time blogging about Hudson, but very little about me or the family in general, so.... it's my new blog. . . check it out, because I will be doing both blogs from now on.

Hudson is doing well. He's mostly over his crankiness, and has allowed me to take some nice pictures, although I am afraid I resorted to some pretty low tactics to get him to smile for me... I over reacted when he said "poop" and was like "That's soooooo gross!" which made him say it more and more and he was laughing so hard he cried and got the hiccups... we don't abide potty language, but since he was laughing I let it go...

I know grandma hates these, but in an effort to explain why I haven't updated in a while.... Hudson was sick for a while in March and then really cranky for the weeks following and I didn't have enough energy to blog, let alone waste time trying to get a smiling pictures... for a long time it was tantrum after tantrum after tantrum.... but he's MOSTLY over it! :)

I just found this awesome site today, thanks to an ISS student...

It's all about ending world hunger by encouraging education. I LOVE the vocab quiz... You earn 10 grains of rice for every correct answer and the rice is donated to feed hungry people world wide. :) Log on and check it out!

Have fun and do good at the same time.... "Heck Yeah!"

Lucky you!
