Hudson is TWO!

It is hard to believe that our friend Husdon is already TWO!! It has always been fun to watch Hudson knowing that Cohen would be doing the same stuff he is the following year. Hudson is quite the little bike rider so we are hoping to get Cohen up and on a little balance bike early as well.

Brooke and Jim threw Hudson a party at a little park in City Park

Jim made Hudson's cake again this year, so cute!

the theme was bubbles and bagels...they bought all of the kids little bubble blowers...here Hudson is blowing bubbles for Cohen

Cohen and daddy did some swinging

then Joel and Isaac and Jim and Hudson joined

self shots...getting harder and harder

kisses!

Cohen's first attempt at sidewalk chalk

and if you can see his mouth you can see how well the first attempt went!

FUN DAY AT THE PARK...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FRIEND HUDSON!

another Sunday and another trip to the...

BISCUIT BUS!!

This week they also had a little petting zoo there from the Urban Farmso Cohen got to pet the bunnies and the goats...but those chickens they are SCARY!!

Fun day at the park

Yes...yes I am still catching up on my blog...those sticking with me you will probably get a BUNCH of blog updates this week in hopes of being caught up!!

That said we had a great afternoon out at Wash Park a few weekends ago.

the boys lined up...good luck getting smiles all at once (thank you cohen)
and now a smirk from cohen and a serious isaac...still adorable pics

and the gals all lined up watching the boys play

Shopping takes on a whole new meaning...

when you get to sit in a car and honk and wave at everyone in the store!! (not to mention the workout mom gets while pushing a cart of groceries with this car on the front and attempting to turn a corner!!)

Oh the Places You'll Go!!!!

Now we have the official birthday party pics as well so I figured I'd post some (or LOTS as the case may be) thanks Ben for taking the pics for us!

THE BIRTHDAY BOY!

If you saw the previous post on Cohen's party you saw that we did a pool party to celebrate.
friend Isaac

LOVES fruit!

and was there to celebrate turning ONE!

G-man also there to celebrate

and hang at the pool

all of the boys enjoyed the bubble mower Cohen got from grandma and grandpa
Hudson hanging pool side

and a little pool side mowing as well

all of the boys

Cohen chatting with friends

notice all of them have something in their mouth...except Cohen who is looking intently at what Isaac has in his mouth

some laughing with friends

and the newest friend- Zoe who is still a little too small to play!

Auntie Kate and Uncle Scott came to celebrate too

uncle Scott getting the skeptical look from Cohen

but then he broke out the blowers

which are LOTS of fun!

joke is on auntie Kate...I am soaking wet!!!

Cohen with Natae (my friend since 4th grade)

and soaking another friend who wants to hold him

uncle Jim and cousin Landon (who LOVES popcorn so was very excited to find it at the snack bar) drying off from a dip in the pool

Cohen with his Meri

Catherine and a sneak peak at Ben, the photographer

pool time with daddy

sometimes you have to be serious in the pool

ready...set...jump!

training them young for corn hole

then it was time for a cupcake (notice a mouth still full of bagel)

not quite sure what to think

an initial touch then checking to see if he is really allowed to be doing it with mommy

then with daddy

it is so SILLY!

the stuffed cheeks are not cupcake like you would think...but still bagel

so instead he fed daddy some

and then mommy

then we played a game to see what Cohen will be when he grows up:

-

a whale for marine biologist

-

a soccer ball for athlete

-

a guitar for musician

-

a paintbrush for artist

-

a stethoscope for doctor

-

a book for writer

-

and a calculator for something in finance

the idea is to put him down and whatever he fully picks up first will be his profession...it was looking good for doctor...

then a detour to writer...

but alas...

the calculator WINS! Maybe following in daddy's footsteps...

now it is party time...like Miley says!
