Beth & Thad in town!

My sister, Beth and her boyfriend, Thad came to visit this weekend. They both are in college and it was nice that they were able to come and visit the kiddos. Emmy & Hudson were so excited to see them!

On Saturday, we went to a Corn Maze and had lots of fun. The kids enjoyed playing in the corn box and riding the John Deere tractors around the race track. I think Emmy might become a little farm girl, she loved the tractor.

Hudson's highlight of the visit was watching football with Thad (He actually stayed still and sat in Thad's lap for about 20 minutes!) Hudson also enjoyed trying on Thad's cowboy boots. Sunday morning, he left Thad a treat. He put cheerios in his boots. Silly boy!

Can I borrow your hat?

These boots are just my size!

Our Sweet Girl, Emmy

Emmy is getting quite a little personality. She is able to cruise along the furniture and stand up for a few seconds. We just got her a baby stroller and she pushes it around all over the house. It is so cute! I think it is really helping her build the confidence to walk on her own. She also loves to wear her shoes on her hands and crawl around. It is hilarious! We call them her "shoe hands" and she laughs and continues to crawl around with them. She is such a cutie pie! Her are some recent pictures of her with her stroller.



Here I go!



I love my stroller



Now I need to catch up with Hudson!

Hudson is Running!

Hudson took his first step on July 8th (my Mom's birthday) and he has been running ever since. He loves to be outside and cries every time we have to come in. If anyone in the house opens a door he runs for the door to see if he can come too! He's growing into such a toddler. He is a typical boy and loves to play in the dirt, pick up sticks, and throw balls to our dog, Sylis. He also loves the hose. He will play in it for hours if you let him. Another thing he loves to do is run toward our tomato plants, picks the cherry tomatoes, and pop them in his mouth. It's so funny! Here are some pictures of our sweet boy.

This is the life!
