Hudson chilling outside with mom's phone.

 Hudson and Liv riding around the yard in his jeep.

 Hudson eating his favorite treat - marshmallows.

 Playing at the park.

 Having a cheese slice at the grocery store to keep us occupied while mom quickly shops.

 Messing around with Liv's bike helmet.

Hudson's signature camera face - the minute you say "cheese" he squints his eyes and squishes his nose.

Firetrucks and firefighters are our new favorite toys. We love to go by all the firehouses and look for firetrucks to see if they are out on an emergency or not.

 Looking very cool and hip in aviator sunglasses. What a stylish little dude.

 Hudson playing with the water sprayers at the pool.

 Pretending to drive mom's car. Only 13 more years until I am legal!!!

 Hudson loves the merry go round.

Wearing Liv's oversize pink glasses from her wacky camp day. We also especially love the black socks.

Sleeping with Rexie and Elmo in my big boy bed. Hudson moved into a big boy a few months ago and is loving all the new space - this way he can pile in as many stuffed animals and books as possible.

 Olivia eating Skyline chili on a trip to Cincinnati.

 Liv ready for her first day of Banner Day Camp - she had an absolute blast at camp and loved riding the school bus to and from camp each day.

 Olivia and Hudson riding the motorcycle at the park.

 Olivia with her Lemonade stand sign.

 Deve and Liv holding a baby bird they found. Olivia thought she died and went to heaven carrying this bird around all day in a shopping bag and pretending to nurse it back to health.

 Liv and Mike getting ready for the 4th of July fireworks at the Glencoe Beach.

 Liv dressed up for Wild West day at camp.

Liv and Hudson playing at the park - notice the sweatshirts they are wearing in July. Chicago has some crazy weather.

Spring Break Trip to Captiva Island, FL

 Olivia and mom riding the trolley to the pool.

Olivia playing with a noodle in the pool. Liv was our little fish on this trip - we couldn't get her out of the water other than lunch time where she could refuel.

 Sitting atop an alligator.

 Liv was so happy to be away from the cold weather in Chicago and hanging out in her suit all day long.

 Hudson, Olivia and mom waiting for the trolley.

 Olivia and her white sunscreen face.

Liv and mom splashing around in the pool.

 Testing out the water on our first day at the pool.

 Hudson brought along Buzz for some company at the pool.

 Hudson and mom hanging out in the pool.

One of Hudson's favorite activities at the pool was playing in the water fountains that shot into the pool. We loved to put our head in them and wash our hair and also step on them and watch the water disappear.

 Washing our hair in the fountain.

 Hudson working on his tan.

Hudson sleeping side-to-side in his big boy bed. This was his first adventure sleeping in a big bed instead of a crib. Some days were better than others:)

Hudson and Mike at the Ft. Myers airport on our way home. We were all very sad to leave the 85 degree weather and sunshine.
