Sticker Club

Gracyn got a letter in the mail to be a part of a sticker club...and she's LOVED it! It turned out to be the perfect week for her to get them too--when she was sick. It seemed like she got a package of stickers in the mail every night last week, and it just made her day! She loved getting all kinds of stickers in the mail. Now, every night she asks if there is any mail for her!

Farmer Hudson

I'm so thankful that both kids got Drew's skin. Their skin is such a pretty color, and they turn into bronze beauties just after being in the sun for a little while. Unlike their Mommy, who burns to a crisp in just a few minutes!Check out Hudson's tan lines! He's got the best farmer's tan!
Love this little guy & the two-tone look he's sporting these days!!

Sickies

Both of my babies are sick. :( They have Hand, Foot, & Mouth disease. They have these little blisters all over their body--mainly on their hands, feet & mouth. Hudson got it first and I have no clue how he got it...and now Gracyn has it too. They are just the most pitiful looking things!
Hudson's blisters were the worst on his feet. They were all between his toes.
Gracyn's are really bad in and around her mouth.
Hudson's getting better, and now Gracyn has it bad. She keeps trying to pop her blisters. She is having a much harder time with it than Hudson. Maybe it's because she can tell me about all her boo-boos! So, we are under house arrest for a while and I'm going stir crazy! My poor little babies! :(

Beach Fun!

We drove down to the beach for the day last weekend. (I wasn't exactly thrilled with the plan...but it wasn't my idea and I "took one for the team.") Gracyn has been asking ALL summer to go to the beach and build sand castles. So, Drew thought it'd be a great thing to do in a day. (Did I mention that I was not on board?) The kids did great on the drive there and back and I finally got to finish a book that I started months ago. I have to admit, we did have a fun day. :)
Gracyn built sand castles until her heart was content and played in the waves.
Hudson showed no fear and would just walk right out into the ocean. I kept a close eye on him because he was ALL over the place.
The kids both had a great time!
My one BIG gripe was having to ride home with sand all over me. AND, then once we got home, I discovered that the ONLY place I got sunburned (really bad!) was on my back. Wonder how that happened??? Gracyn is already asking when we can go again......

Pretty Princess!

Gracyn got a new princess crown and earrings. This is her reaction to how she looked when I picked her up to look in the mirror--priceless!
What a sweet little princess! (I couldn't figure out how to take a picture of the both of us--please excuse the flash!) This one is a little better.

Tower for Two

Look who's excited about being able to get up into the learning tower now?
Her face pretty much sums up how she feels. She tolerates him being up there with her, but isn't thrilled with the idea. I must admit, I'm a little worried about Hudson's safety while being in there with her. Gracyn can get a little wild and crazy!
I think this Mommy is going to love having her two little "helpers" right next to her...most of the time! :)

Hello Kitty!

They were giving away some Hello Kitty stickers and crowns the other day while we were at the store. Gracyn was so excited to get them! She went to town putting them all over her when we got home.

Pillow Bed

I made Gracyn this pillow bed the other day--she LOVES it! I got the idea from another blog, and it's just about the easiest thing to make! You just take 4 pillowcases and sew them together.
My mom appliqued her name on the top pillowcase, and then I sewed the rest of them together.
It's really meant as a travel bed--so you can fold it up and take it to a hotel with you and just ask for extra pillows to make an instant bed for your little ones.
But, since we don't travel too often these days, I thought Gracyn would enjoy laying on it around the house--and so does Hudson!
I think he might need one too!
To be honest, it's pretty comfy when you put it on the couch and lay on it! Maybe we all need one! ;)
He looks SO long in this picture!

McKenna Children's Museum

We met my good friend, Jamie, and her three girls, at the McKenna Children's Museum the other day. Gracyn and Hudson had a ball! Hudson and I were worn out trying to keep up with Gracyn. Now that Hudson is walking, I think it will be a little easier for us to keep up with her and for Hudson to play too the next time we go.

Mr. Construction ManThe shopping cart was a big hit with both the kids!
Yummy.....GERMS!
Hudson loved dancing to the radio.
Hudson loved playing with this baby. Her carried her all around with him for quite a while. Gracyn had so much fun driving the ambulance and making the lights go on and off .
Here she is pretending to be the patient.
Hudson had fun camping in the tent.
*** For those of you who are in town, there is a school supply drive that's going on until August 19th. If you bring in school supplies, you get free admission. You can go here and get more information.***

Highlights

My Nana got Gracyn a subscription to the Highlights magazine. She gets so excited when it comes in the mail. She's really just now gotten interested in reading it. She wants to read and take it everywhere these days....in the jogging stroller while on our morning run, while she's eating, shopping in stores... I don't let her take it everywhere though. Here she is with it in the car on our way to HEB. She even enjoys reading it while she's going potty!
Like I said, she tries to take the magazine with her just about everywhere!

Hudson's Hat

Gracyn got this hat at Chick-fil-a. I thought I'd put it on Hudson really quick. We all got a good laugh! Little cutie!

The New Mickey Store!

They closed the Disney Store in the mall so they could do renovations. Gracyn couldn't wait for it to open again. We went to check out the new Mickey Store the other day--and it did not disappoint! Gracyn had a ball! They have a castle with mirrors inside...
a huge screen playing movies with tables and chairs...and all the toys a toddler's heart could dream of!! We went to get Jesse from Toy Story, but of course we had to get Bullseye too! And, Hudson needed a few new friends....Gracyn picked them out and of course started asking if Hudson would share with her. :)She can't wait to go back!
