Labor Day weekend in Colorado

We hit the road last weekend for Colorado and had a great time visiting John's family. 

While in the carpool line to pick up Hudson, Jack "flying" Buzz Lightyear out the window. 

Jack found a helmet at Uncle Pete's house and became obsessed with it and wore it about three days straight. The lucky guy even talked them into keeping it and he is a happy guy!

We stopped at a hotel the first night and Jack insisted that Daddy and Hudson would sleep in the other bed and he would sleep alone in his bed! He kept telling me to sleep on the floor! Of course, this lasted about 5 minutes before he was asking for mommy to sleep in his bed. 

It didn't take long for Jack to warm up to Uncle Pete.

Look, candy!

The boys loved picking up candy. Hudson would only pick up the things he liked but Jack took it all. Sweet cousin Ethan helped them the whole time. 

The penny toss was a huge hit

Max and Jack visit the fire station

Our friends Emily and Max had a visit to the fire station and were so nice to let us tag along. Max is obsessed with firetrucks and firemen and loved the visit.

Midwest Balloon Festival

We attended our first balloon festival and despite crazy crowds and very few balloons flying, the boys had lots of fun playing in the bounce houses and enjoying junk food!

August 2012

August was a fun month for us as we enjoyed the last few weeks of summer and eased into the school year. Kindergarten is going really well for Hudson although he is disappointed he didn't learn how to read in the first week as I think he thought he would:). He comes home each day so excited about things that have happened at school and has made some new friends already. 

Jack met his teacher this week and starts Mother's Day Out next week. He was not happy he didn't get to stay by himself when he met his teacher although he became a little shy in the class. I think (and hope) he is going to love it too!

Hudson got his very own library card and was so excited!

The long awaited new Disney shirts from Aunt Sam. He called her quite often to see when she mailed them.

A picnic in our front yard:)

Although he misses Hudson at school in the mornings, Jack is enjoying time with just mommy.

Hudson is obsessed with Berenstain Bear books and was so excited to get one with his kid's meal at Chick Fil A. Of course now he has a list going of the ones they have and the ones he has!

Hugs before school - the sweetest part of the day

The boys packed bookbags to go to Nana's for a few hours. They LOVE going to her house!
