As you can see from the picture, Hudson likes to put all of his toys into the water table. This includes his golf bag and clubs.

Ice Cream Sundae Day

Olivia's mom and dad were invited into Liv's preschool class last week to give a demonstration on making homemade ice cream. We made vanilla ice cream and then had all the kids make hot fudge sundaes with a cherry on top.

 Mixing all of the ingredients together. Each child got a turn pouring something into the mixing bowl.

Olivia loved having her parents help out in the classroom and the sundae was delicious.

Hudson wearing Liv's Uggs one morning before school. He wanted his feet to be nice and warm.

Hudson playing in the baby doll's stroller. He got a big kick out of wedging himself into this tiny little space.

Climbing Trees

Olivia got adventuresome climbing the crabapple tree in our backyard one afternoon.

Easter 2012

 Liv is off and running during the Easter Egg Hunt. She is trying to collect as many eggs as possible - she is quite the fierce competitor nowadays.

 Hudson wasn't so much interested in collecting eggs as he was in mowing the grass.

 Olivia going behind the bushes to collect eggs that were placed in the downspouts and flower beds.

 Hudson playing kitchen in the outdoor clubhouse.

 Hudson getting some love from mom.

 Taking a quick breather from all the action. Hunting down eggs is a lot of work.

Shedd Aquarium

Olivia and Hudson took a trip to the Shedd Aquarium with Deve and Gigi while mom and dad were out of town. They loved looking at all of the fish.
