Couple of Cute Videos

Okay, so I know that I posted a new entry just hours ago, but I had to post these two videos. One is of Hudson giving me kisses. He is really good at making the kissing noise :-)
The other video is of Josh, Hudson, Collin & Carter. We watched our nephews one evening last week. We have so much fun when we have them. We went for a walk (well, Hudson & Carter got to ride in the wagon). Collin walked beside me but didn't want to hold my hand because he said I had "germs"!! The video is what we always do after wagon rides. Enjoy :-)

My Cautious Daredevil

Hudson's new "thing" is leaping from the chair & ottoman to the cushions awaiting below him. Normally, Josh or I are next to the ottoman to help him with the leap. Today though I got the video camera and told him to be careful, because I couldn't be right beside him. He ended up being very cautious. He didn't even leap but instead laid down and rolled off the ottoman. He is quite the boy these days. He loves playing with balls, blocks, and trucks. He is such a joy to our lives. When Josh gets home from work Hudson is so excited to see him. Hudson will follow Josh around like a little puppy after he gets home. It makes my day to see Hudson love on his Daddy.

July 4th Weekend

Saturday we went to the Bentonville Square for the Bike Parade. Josh, Hudson & I got there early to enjoy the farmer's market. My Mom & Dad (aka Me-Ma & Pa-Pa) met us at the square, too, along with Carrie, Josh, & the boys. We had a really good time. The parade had a small town feel to it. Hudson & Carter rode in the red wagon. Don't they look cute?? Collin rode is bike and raced really fast. The whole family walked in the parade.
Oh, Carrie & I spent Friday decorating the wagon and bike. I'm so lucky to have a fun sis :-) She is definitely the creative one between the two of us.
Aren't they cute?

These boys are ready to ride!! Check out Collin behind them on his big boy bike.


Carrie made the boys their own license plate!!



Here we go!!

For every child that participated, they gave them free ice cream from The Station Cafe!! The boys were very excited about that!!

Carter is so happy right now :-)


On July 4th, after a cookout at Carrie & Josh's, we went to the Pinnacle Hills Church to watch fireworks. This isn't some small show either. There are hundreds of fireworks that go off and it was amazing. I didn't know how Hudson would do with the fireworks. Last year he was so young and wasn't around any. He LOVED them. His eyes were glued to the sky.

Daddy & Hudson take a walk around the grounds. BTW, Josh sprays the grass at the church and it all looked great!!


Beautiful picture of the Crosses!!


Had to get a picture of the 3 of us :) I'm lucky to have 2 cute guys in my life.


This isn't even all the people that were there!!
