#woodslifeeveryday2014 week 38

Day 260: I was in the kitchen cleaning up after lunch and I overheard these two. They made a village and Hudson was fixing the clubhouse and Emma was being told to make a snack in the kitchen. My goodness I love them so much it hurts.

Day 261: Loved having a kid-free lunch with Jen today!

Day 262: I just threw all of these away! Emma has been completely paci free for over a week now.

Day 263: It was a GORGEOUS day today. We went on a walk this afternoon and ended up at the park. I love my people.

Day 264: "Hey mommy! I'm a cow!"

Day 265: "Watch out, Emma. There is an ant on that leaf!" Happy Monday!

Day 266: Burning some no nap energy! They were in bed by 6:55 and asleep by 7. #takecoverJohn

selfies, sweaters, & Switzerland! {weekend wrap up}

Happy Monday! We had a really great weekend. Friday morning I checked my planner and was so excited to see a completely open weekend. We've been so busy so it is always nice to have a free weekend to relax and do nothing.

I found my phone after Emma had been playing with it.....full of selfies!!! ha!

And let's talk about the creepy factor of these 2.....COMPLETELY UNEDITED!! hahaha!

It's been almost 2 weeks now since Emma has slept with her pacis! I have had these hiding in a cabinet in the kitchen (because for some reason I was too emotional to throw them away) but finally decided it was time. So of course I took a picture first. I'm so proud of my big girl who is now 100% paci free! She will also be 2 in less than a month! How?!?

I am OBSESSED with this cardigan I got several months ago. Emma just discovered it and she's pretty crazy about it too. I read about it on Pinterest Told Me To. It's what she calls "the blardigan" because it's part blanket, part cardigan. It's the softest thing ever. 

Hanging out in the backyard on Friday evening. Love these 2!

On Saturday we ran errands and had lunch at Jason's Deli. That evening we went on a family walk and ended up at the park.

Hudson had a collision with a little boy on a bike and got a bloody lip and a cut on his knee. When he saw the blood he was SO EXCITED because it meant he had a legitimate reason to get a bandaid! haha!

Sunday it was FINALLY revealed that we are going to SWITZERLAND next summer for the Chapel Choir mission tour!!!!! We will also be visiting Germany, France, and Italy. Oh my word I am excited!

My silly boy on Sunday night. He said, "Look mommy. I am a cow!" haha! love that kid.

Emma :: 23 months

our week!

We've had a great week over here! And I am looking forward to this weekend. When I looked at my planner this morning to see what we had going on....it was BLANK!! Woohoo!! It's always nice to have a weekend with nothing to do. 

Tuesday night we hosted Supper Club at our house. We had so much fun and the kids' favorite part was of course dessert.

This was their first time having cheesecake and needless to say, they loved it.

We eat supper at church on Wednesday nights. The kids love it because they're guaranteed chocolate milk and dessert. My girl LOVES chocolate. To her, anything that is chocolate is "chock-chock milk." So she was enjoying some "chock-chock milk and chock-chock milk cake!" :) 

On Thursday morning when I opened my bible to work on my bible study I found this. I remember when Emma did this last year when she was around a year old. Love this so much. 

While the kids were in school on Thursday I had some errands to run and then got to enjoy a kid-free lunch with my sweet friend, Jen! Love her!

MELT MY HEART. Emma brought this home from school on Thursday. 

And just now when I was uploading pics from my phone I found these. One of Hudson's legs...

And one of Emma's leg. Love these littles so much. Have a great weekend, y'all!

#woodslifeeveryday2014 week 37

Day 253: We stayed home all day since Emma wasn't feeling well. When she went to bed she was back to her normal self. I'm so thankful for our day at home. They played so well together and were so sweet all day. Love these two.

Day 254: Picnic dinner and fun at the park tonight!

Day 255: Having fun at Audrey and Addison's birthday party tonight!

Day 256: Family walk this afternoon with my favorite people! We found a stick bug and explored all around our neighborhood. We finished off our night at E&B's house for dinner. Fun Saturday!

Day 257: Their favorite thing right now is watching me dance in the video monitor. Listening to their giggles while I act a fool is the best.

Day 258: I said, "smile!" and they started eating the heads of their Zubels. #reallife

Day 259: The little one kept chalking all over the board and the big one was getting annoyed. So daddy stepped in a drew a line. It actually worked! Ha!

weekend wrap up!

We had a great weekend! Fun things in the evenings but relaxing days. Kind of perfect.

Little girl in a big yard. 

Thursday night we picked up dinner at Zaxby's and headed to the park for a picnic and play time. This is such a fun park...it's all wood! We had so much fun.

Hudson is able to pull his pants up after he goes potty if he hasn't fully taken them off of his feet. But if he does he has a harder time putting them back on. We usually help him but lately I've been trying to get him to do it all on his own. This was the outcome on Friday...inside out and backwards. And I didn't fix it. :)

We had a fun family lunch at Zoe's on Friday. The kids are salad obsessed and John and the kids finished off my salad for me.

Me and my girl taking selfies while we waited for the boys to finish up.

Friday night our friends Audrey and Addison had a joint birthday party. We had so much fun going to celebrate them! Audrey and Emma are such sweet little friends. 

Saturday during the day we were lazy and didn't do much. It was so nice.

We went on a walk late Saturday afternoon around the neighborhood. 

The boys were much faster than Emma and I so we took selfies again. :)

For dinner on Saturday night we went to Eric and Brittany's house. Hudson and Emma loved their new piano!

Sunday we went to church, and after naps we just played at home. 

The kids current favorite thing is watching me dance and act a fool on the video monitor. I try to be cool but I'm so lame. ha!

Sunday night I had a meeting at church so when I told Emma that we were going back to church and that she would get to see daddy this was her response. Sweet girl loves her daddy!
