Rodeo Day!

Today was Rodeo Day at Nate's preschool, so Hudson and I headed up there this morning to check it out.  Nate got to dress up in Western gear and had a blast:
Notice he had to borrow his Dad's belt buckle

Horseshoe toss

Barrel racing


Roping steer

Hud was a good spectator


Bean bag toss


It all ended with a horse ride

My Little Man!


     Somebody turns 4 today!  I can't believe it's been 4 years!  A lot has happened in that time, but it wouldn't have been as interesting or fun without my Nater.  He's such a little grown up.  He helps me around the house, doing laundry with me, working in the gardens and flower beds, and helping pick up his toys.  He loves his baby brother, even though Hudson drives him mad sometimes.  He loves school and more often than not I get called Miss Cindy during the day.  His teacher says he is extremely smart, which he uses against us sometimes.  He has a memory like an elephant, and definitely lets you know when you're doing something the wrong way.  Lately he has been a little trying, he pouts when he doesn't get his way and tears come to the surface readily.  We love him to bits and can't imagine how boring our life would be without him, or how much more sleep we would get.
     We're not doing a whole lot on his actual birthday this year, but he did get to celebrate at school on Monday with zebra cupcakes.  This morning we had birthday pancakes, and later today his dad will be coming home from work in a helicopter and he'll get to sit in it and play with all the buttons.  We're having a party in a week and a half when my dad and sister are here, so the real fun will be then.  All in all he's a lucky boy
These cupcakes were a lot of work, so I had to put in a picture!

Best Birthday Gift

This morning I got the best birthday gift a girl could ask for.  Nate woke up before Hudson this morning, and while he was eating his breakfast I was watching my DVRd episode of "Smash" from last night (I love that show).  Hudson woke up and walked out to where I was sitting on the couch.  He climbed up next to me, pulled his pacifier out, and gave me a smooch, then popped his pacifier back in and snuggled down next to me.  Melt my heart!
