After the wedding, we went to chat at Denny's again and get some dessert. My cousin Alex was being hilarious and making great friends with the waitress Jodie. His twin brother Steve flew in for the wedding and was there too and they were like a comedy act. We all were laughing so hard!
Our neighborhood had a yard sale and my boys were dying to buy some treasures. I gave them 2 dollars each and let them go to town! Preston got a snow cone and some treats and Carter bought a dragon that I haven't seen him play with since (big surprise). We were going to sell homemade ice cream at the yard sale but I was too tired with all of the craziness going on that we just decided to eat it all ourselves. haha We made cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, and strawberry. They were all amazing!!
Melanie's birthday was on June 15th and so of course we had to celebrate at Texas Roadhouse!
Enjoying Sunday dinner with my parents before they left. My mom was trying to get in as much Hudson time as possible.
The night before they left to go back to Germany we had a little family night at Neptune park and got together with the cousins.
That night we were going through my sister's old journals and laughing our heads off. We found this gem of a photo taped inside. Those bangs are the best thing ever!!! Mel and I dropped my parents off at the airport the next morning. We had so much fun with them here and it wasn't as hard to say goodbye this time as it was the first time. I think because we knew that we would be okay without them and we had kindof gotten used to it. They are now almost halfway through their mission and time is starting to go a lot faster. We can do this!
Before we put the house back on the market after all of the flooding we decided the kitchen needed to be painted. Preston was my big helper. It only took an afternoon and made it look great! Why didn't I do this sooner??
We did green in the part around the cabinets and tan everywhere else. Obviously it worked because we sold it almost instantly after it was put on the market!
This little boy is definitely pampered. He would not hold his bottle for the life of him! Almost a year old and still wouldn't do it! Little stinker, he knows he's the baby and can get away with it! haha
James ran a relay race with my friend/neighbors Callie and Jon Canlas and their family. He had such a blast and hopefully I can do it next year with them!
Here he is with "The team that needs no introduction". Yes, that was their team name. Love it!
While he was gone running ragnar my boys got to have a sleep over at their cousin Ryan's house. The next day Carter came home and fell asleep at 5 pm and didn't wake up until the next morning. Staying up until 1 am the night before, he was exhausted. This kid needs his sleep! I laughed when I found him totally dead out on the couch.
Cute bath photo of my Hudson boy!
Carter and Preston got to go to a fun summer camp that my neighbors the Goettigs put on. They have 4 daughters and they all helped put it on. It was fantastic and the boys did so many fun things. Decorated t-shirts, made kitchen magnets with their pictures on them, had a water fight, and much more. Hopefully they do it again next year, we will be there for sure!
Hudson got a fun little water table from Grandma and Grandad English. He and all of the other kids loved playing with it.
Carter went to Cub scout day camp. How do I have a child this old?! James volunteered to help with the boys and got some fun photos from the day.
They got to do archery, shoot bb guns at cans, made wooden model planes, team building activities, rock wall, and how to do a flag ceremony. He had such a blast!
