Tea Time
Hadley and Hudson have been having all sorts of tea parties since Hadley got a tea set for Christmas. We have been playing restaurant a lot. I get to call them sir and ma'am. I remind them in my waitress voice that they can't sit on the table and they have to have manners. For some reason, this seems to hit home and they listen a lot faster than when I use my "mom" voice. Guess kids really do learn quickly to tune out your voice!!
Or maybe it is more fun when you are playing a game. Either way, I like playing tea party too when the "cake" is fudge. Yummy!

House Update
Yeppers, we put 3 offers in on houses before one worked out. I was actually kind of getting sick of looking at houses. I know. Write that one down in the history books. Mostly I was just annoyed that the house selection was so few and far between. People, put your houses on the market. I joked with Mike that I was about to go knocking door to door and beg people!
We found a house we love in a neighborhood we love too. We are closing March 6th and cannot wait to get into our own place again. (no offense to the fam...we will miss them too but I am sure they would like their quiet house back!) I am excited to be so close to the elementary school Hudson will be going to...within blocks! And our preschool teacher we adore is opening up a place out by our new house so Miss Hadley is SOOO excited she gets to start there in the fall. She talks about going to preschool all the time.
Here is the kitchen:And the bonus room:
More pics of the house to follow. But it was built in 2007, has 2891 sq ft and is 4 beds and an office, 3 baths, with an upstairs bonus room. I have some ideas of decor already thought out in my mind...mostly my HUGE upstairs craft/office I get. I cannot wait. Once we move, it will be a HUGE list of projects to begin. But that is the fun part right???

3 month old Maycee
(Back on Jan 7th.....) Miss Maycee is 3 months old. Time flies and babies chunk up. I liked the above pic because I thought it looked a lot like a mug shot. haha
Her diapers are starting to not fit well because of her many rolls on her thighs.
She coughs and toots at the same time.
She is a happy girl by day and a somewhat serious gal at night.
She loves her Grandma and Grandpa L.
Her siblings she is not so sure of since they like to talk to her about an inch from her face. Sometimes she just likes to lay on the ground and kick her legs.
Still no teeth although she seems to be fighting them on and off.
She has some serious baby blues...eyes that is.
She has two little dimples in her cheeks that come out when she smiles really big.
She eats ALL the time during the day.
She is not a big fan of tummy time but she is getting good at keeping her head up.
She likes her paci when she wants and when she doesn't, she definitely lets you know.
She is a very chill baby.

Bowling Cheers
We went bowling as a family around the holidays. Hudson had a BLAST! He was so excited when he would even hit one pin down. We should have down bumper bowling but he did the full on adult lanes.
Hadley went around and sat with everyone and occasionally threw the ball too.
Cheers!!
Yay Hadders!
Maycee was real impressed by the whole thing.
Mike helped them both bowl and I took pics. It was really fun and I can't wait to take them again!

Potty Prayers
I found the kiddos in the bathroom with Hadley's tea set having some "tea" on the toilet...but first they were saying their prayers. Sweet kiddos.
