Spring in Review

It's been a busy spring around here!

Hudson discovered that he can feed Ella.  And he loves to do it much to our dismay.

Sweet Emery Ruth joined the Hofstetter family in March!  So fun to be an aunt again and snuggle a newborn.

Burning off some cold weather energy at the mall play place.  I just try not to think about all the germs!

Craft night with my Bible study group.  Once a month we do a craft and skip the Bible study - so fun!

Trying to get a family shot with great grandma - easier said than done.

Sunday afternoon snuggles and books with Ty and Kristin - we're going to miss seeing them every Sunday afternoon.

He discovered he can climb up on the chair and pull off all the books - his new favorite game when in Carson's room.

This kid has a good puppy dog face and knows how to use it to his advantage!  This month we have started using tears and tantrums to get our point across.

It was a chilly day but the Springers were here so we headed to the zoo!

Naked babies are the best - Hudson and Ellie.

Carson loves to help by pushing Hudson.

New favorite game - hide and seek.  It's hilarious!  He finds you then wants it to be his turn - and he then hides in the exact spot you just were.  It's funny every time!

More cold weather, middle of tax season therapy.  Target!

Running with the Buckeyes

My view pretty much every night from late February to April 15.  We lead pretty exciting lives.

Vera Bradley 2014!  Scheming our plan of attack the night before.

Line to get in

So.  Many.  People.

And so much Vera!

Such a fun tradition :)

First night warm enough to get ice cream and head to the park!

Hudson approved.

Helping Ben get work done on a Saturday.

My brother's church did another helicopter egg drop.  Carson loved it!

Coloring Easter eggs

We get to the zoo and I asked Carson what he wanted to go see first.  He kept saying the dragon - and I kept telling him they don't have a dragon at the zoo.  Then he said the dragon by the tigers and I immediately knew what he was referring to.  All of the animals in the zoo and he wants to see the fake dragon - only my kid!

Hudson's first train ride at the zoo.

Another zoo day - this time Harper and Emery came along!

Getting up close and personal with the mannequin at Old Navy - he kept kissing her!

And so the work of getting the house ready to sell officially begins.  It has to get worse to get better right?! 

So much stuff!

We took a load of stuff out of the house to try to make it feel bigger and more open.  

My family came for a weekend to help.  Don't know what we would do without them!

The carpet cleaners came right when I was getting ready to put Hudson down for a nap - so I had to stall him for about an hour.  He was so tired and just wanted to nap right in the living room.

As of April 30...it's official!

Carson is officially potty trained!  One weekend he just decided that he was ready.  This is him peeing on the potty at school - I think it's hilarious!

His reward for being potty trained was a trip to Toys R Us to pick out a new toy.  After MUCH deliberation, he picked a camera and a pair of binoculars.  Looking so grown up!
