Thought you might enjoy Hudson's many messy faces today...




He had Cornbread, whip cream and bananas for breakfast...


Then a Yummy Golden Oreo Cookie for a snack...


Topping it off with a delicious Fudge Bar for dessert...

Needless to say Hudson enjoyed every last bite of it all... and it showed.

If you are not aware - let it be known. I am married to a man with many, many talents. One of which that he has developed a deep love for is woodworking. I think we might have 75%+ of all the tools known to man in our garage. Try and imagine a one car (condo) garage full of tools. I must admit I can still park a car in my garage and Spencer is very organized in his stashing of tools... but if you ever need a tool to borrow... come on down.
Spencer's first woodworking project was a coffee table for us when we first got married, sadly enough I can't find a picture of it. So in a nut shell, we were living in MI (right before we were married) and every night in the garage that was not connected to his condo, he would continue his project of building us a coffee table. If any of you have ever been to MI in the winter, it is not pleasant. It is not the pretty snowy winter, but harsh brittle cold. So anyway he made it and completed it for my Christmas present. I had no idea how hard he worked on it. It was good to us, but got damaged on the move out to CA, and so it is gone.
But I thought I would share a few pictures of what he has done. He has made a chest/coffee table for some friends (dove-tail mind you), built many tables for his tools. Built shelves in the garage, made me the most beautiful easel to paint on. It is made of African Mahogany and hasn't been used. Mainly because I am so afraid to paint on it, it is too pretty to get paint on. I love to just set it up and look at it. The most recent of the projects are three book shelfs for Hudson's room. I was looking in the "Land of Nod" catalog and pointed out these CUTE shelfs for books; a few days later I walked outside and Spencer had them done and even better then what I could have thought up. We then painted them Yellow, Green and Blue. They are to die for cute.
Anyway - I am so happy I married a man with hobbies and so much talent. He amazes me every day. Pictures below

YOGOS!!!!!!
I am all about bribing, ever since my mother gave Hudson a taste of these gross little yogurt covered fruit snacks Hudson can't get enough! It amazes me that anyone would eat these... but hey,they are something to fall back on if a tantrum is going to happen. All I have to do is say the word "YOGOS" and he is willing to do anything I ask (almost)! He also will do anything for chocolate - mainly those mini cadbury eggs you can get at easter... I bought a few bags and every now and then I will pull out a single egg and get him to get back in his stroller when needed. So I brib my kid - who doesn't at times?!?

Since I have been on the computer for a while figuring out the surface of the blogging world, I thought I would try a picture. So here is my favorite part of life... well one of them. This was taken on Mother's Day; Spencer and Hudson had wrapped a few presents for me that morning in news paper... which was creatively wrapped in "mother's", aka woman, that were pictured in the paper. One present being a new camera! I was so excited. Spencer and I had talked a little about it and he surprised me with one and a case. So needless to say I was playing with my new gadget the rest of the day. Spencer then continued to spoil me with a beautiful dinner (pictured below) consisting of steak, asparagus, mushrooms and a baked potato. It was topped off with a tall frozen glass filled to the brim with a yummy, and much needed, root-beer float! Nothing could have been better! I am the luckiest woman alive. Thank you Spencer for everything; but for most of all for little Hudson. I couldn't be happier. Love you.

Okay .... so because I have a saint as a friend. CARLY. I have managed to put some kind of header (that actually fits) up. Now that I know how to do it, sort of, I can make it a little better each time. Now I need to get an actual clear picture, ha! So if you have any tips as to ANYTHING with the blogging situation let me know.

I have made a promise... or rather a vow to keep up my blog. As you can tell I am not too savy at the whole blogging thing - but am going to give it a go once more. Keep your fingers crossed!
