Alert: Pantry Raid! {and a few more updates}

Alert, Alert! We have had another pantry raid!  This time is was a single-man job {William, Lover of all Crackers}, but he was into the double box of crackers!  Oh MY!

Maybe if I smack the box some crackers will come out?

Better luck next time, baby!

When not raiding pantries before church, sometimes the boys just take a break and do a little reading . . .

 

“WOW!”   We’ve had some very fun weekend visitors over the last few weeks, and from the looks of it, the fun is going to keep coming for the next few weeks!

We went to Maymont with Addie Strickland for a visit, and we had a blast!  Addie is adorable!

This was our best attempt at a group photo . . . Addie and William holding hands!

That bizarre donkey from before put on another show for us . . . 

This past weekend, Catherine and Greg came for lunch and a visit with our little rascals!  Catherine is definitely on William’s list of favorite people!  

And, we had a fun visit with some of the boys’ Great Great Aunts this past week.  The boys are pictured here in the “wago” and Great Great Aunt Elizabeth from Kansas!

Happy Friday, Y’all!

Outside Fun!

We’ve had a great time in the sun the last several weeks . . . here are a few pictures to catch you up to speed on life as we know it!

Why not have outdoor snack time?

We had a fun lunch outing to the park with some of our great friends.  William’s love, Sylvie, was there, but Hudson seemed more interested in showing off his skills in the train tunnel!

{I love William and Sylvie’s faces in this one!  Hudson, WHAT are you doing?}

After our big Charleston trip, Daddy cleaned up the porch for the boys.  We have LOVED going out there to play . . . rain or shine, it’s a fun place to be!

The play house is very fun . . . this is William saying “WOW!” (which we hear ALL of the time!)

{note:  these boys are wearing their cousin Sam’s clothes in this picture!  We are about to celebrate Sam’s 11th birthday!}

Peek-a-boo

Hudson likes to squeeze into tight spaces . . .

 

Sweet babes!

 

“Ca Cou!” 

That is Hudson’s version of “thank you,” and he says those sweet words all day long.  We’d like to give a big “CA COU!” to Aunt Courtney for our fantastic basketball hoop!  We are athletes in the making!

 

William shows us how it’s done! 

{please notice the double-chin!}

Hudson shows off his head-ball skills

checking out the ropes . . .  

Cheese!

Kisses, "cheese," and stinky toes!

Watch out ladies, here they come . . .

Daddy’s Little Helpers

The last two weekends have been gorgeous, so we have spent a lot of time enjoying the great outdoors (aka:  our frontyard!)  I’m pretty sure that Hatch has always dreamed of days like these . . .

The hornet and his sneaky, mulch-eating brother

I am pretty sure the dentist will not be happy with us

CAUGHT!

This past Saturday, we did some mulching as a family . . .

Hudson didn’t get the concept of keeping the new mulch in the yard, but that’s okay!

The bucket was a big hit, nevertheless!

Someone else was more interested in the bags of mulch . . .

Tiny king of the tiny hill!

Please excuse the saggy Pjs!

And, please do NOT mention “nap time!”

William had his own expedition to see his number one fan, Dog Dog!

Everyone had a great time using Daddy’s tools!

 

Helping Daddy work is our favorite thing . . .

{these next two are some of my favorites!  Hudson is an excellent helper!}

This next series is called “BOO!”

    

This one has been working on some teeth!  The last two until 2 year molars!  whoo!

Everyone deserves a drink after a big day of working in the yard!

Sweet face!  

Oh, the temptation to chomp this bark!  mmm!

William temporarily lost his hand in his sweater, but we’ve since recovered it! 

With some grass in our sweater and mulch in our diaper, we bid you goodnight!  And, here’s to a lovely spring!
