A little of Miles lately

Miles in his "work goggles" Just look at those ears!

Picasso in the making. We got this great art easel from our friend Amber. Miles has loved painting, and the white board has been so fun to practice his letter and reading skills.

You can see he tried to paint Miles. The L turned out really well, and he started his E OK, but we still have a ways to go.

James and Miles have discovered some fabulous HUGE dirt piles in one of the new constructions down the street. The dump truck drops them off and my boys go running. They jump and roll and kick all over in the mountain of soft dirt. Don't worry that they went again on Sunday in Miles' white (yes white) church shorts. I was fuming afterwards because they are pretty much ruined, but Miles was thrilled so really its not worth it to be mad.

A few cakes....

A black and white wedding cake with a little modern twist. I love the shape of this cake, its one of my favorites. But all those corners makes it really hard to ice.

The grooms cake was of course non other than the Georgia Bull Dog. I am sure this won't be the last one that I do while living here.

Baby shower for the Army Wives group. I think the next time around I would arrange the letters differently on the blocks. The word Baby is a little difficult to read.

I feel so lucky to be able to continue doing this from home. I have two more wedding cakes this weekend...wish me luck. :)

2 Month Stats...

Hudson had his 2 month check up today and did pretty well. James was great and was able to pass off his second morning patient in order to hop over to the hospital so that I wasn't alone with both boys. He had to get two shots, an oral vaccine, and poked and prodded, but he really only whimpered. Why he cries bloody murder at home while I am holding him, but only whimpers at the doctors...I don't know?! All things showed up healthy, and we are happy to hear it.
Anyways, here's the good stuff:
Weight 13.13 lbs (95th %)
Height 58cm (50th%)
Its funny that his stats are the opposite of Miles'. Miles was always really tall, but average weight. Hudson is just my little chunk! I guess that's why he is nicknamed after a sweet treat. :)

Our Gingerbread Man

Hudson just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Get a load of that double chin!

He is officially 7 weeks old, but I don't have any current stats on him. He has an appointment scheduled for this week, but he has a little cold so we may not make it. (they can't give him his shots if he is sick)

He still pretty much just sleeps and eats. I haven't really figured out how he likes to be held or what he likes since he is only up for a little bit at a time, and then I have Miles who wants me to play when Hudson is awake and happy, so Hudson gets put down pretty quickly. Poor guy.

Here is our man showing off his skills....such a strong little kiddo.

Cakes...

Miles and I had a cake decorating day. It was fun to watch him try to put the frosting just where he wanted it.

Ultimately he wanted it in his mouth, but a good amount ended up on the cake.


The master at work....so cute.

Elephants....

I have been making cakes from home and to keep him busy during my latest project Miles got to play with the fondant with James

He finally ended up with a couple of elephants. (no he didn't make them himself, otherwise I would be putting him to work for me)

This is what I ended up with. It was for Victoria's baby shower. She is so sweet and it was a fun little project to make.

Spring...

What is more spring than a little baseball in the back yard...

James is working on his form, right now the one handed swing isn't working too well.

Little Man

Here are a few shots of our little man Hudson....

A little Dr. Evil impression....already a comedian like his brother.

Love the tongue

I think those eyes may just stay blue.

hello

Things are going well. We are all continuing to adjust to having a baby around, but everyday we get more and more used to it.

Egg hunt

Today we had some friends over and had a mini egg hunt in the back yard.

We were a little late with the camera and really caught the kids sorting their loot, and not so much hunting for eggs.

Its amazing how thrilled they can get over a couple jelly beans!

Eggs, eggs and more eggs.

We were so lucky to have my sister Jen come stay with us for a week. She sacrificed her spring break (she teaches 6th grade) to come help us, and spend time with my boys. We did a lot of cooking while she was here and we blew out all the eggs in anticipation for Easter....

Poking the holes


It hard work blowing out those eggs....I think this is the only one that Miles did, the rest was up to us.

It was all worth it in the end. He had such a blast dying all those eggs.
