the aunt's visit and Grey's birthday party

This past weekend during a spring snow storm, we attended Hudson's friend, Grey's second birthday party at Pump It Up.
Look at the darling sock monkey cake that Grey's mom MADE!

Hudson had a blast going down the slides with daddy and playing in the bounce houses. As soon as he got off the slide he would run to the back to climb it again!

We also had two special visitors, aunt Dana and aunt Sam who came to visit over spring break. This was during a little girl's shopping trip that dad was obviously not on!

Hudson's shopping days are currently on hold as he had decided he does not like to shop. Last night after dinner we took a family trip to Target to pick up just a few groceries and somehow while John and I were both in the produce section, Hudson escaped and found the doughnut display. After touching at least one, we gave him one and he proceeded to eat the whole thing (he has never even had one before). By the time we checked out, we had to pay for a missing doughnut, empty string cheese wrapper, and empty raisen box. I am not sure where he puts all this food as this was after dinner!!!

Playing with stickers on the new shelves Nana made for his playroom Don't worry, Nana, they don't take the paint off! Hudson had so much fun with his aunts and would drag both of them by their fingers to go with him wherever he wanted to go. Hudson is talking up a storm now. Before we had worried about him not talking too much and now it seems like it won't stop. He is still addicted to music and walks around most of the day rolling his arms saying "bus" to play "wheels on the bus" or "ball" for "take me out to the ball game".
