First week of June

Here are some updates from the first week of June. 

Cute Hudson w/ some strawberries from our yard.

Hudson started swim lessons this week.  He loves it!

Cute Hudson.  Steve and the boys went over to Dave/Joann's place to help clean before closing on their house.  One last picture before they sold their house.

Steve took pictures next to his handprints in the cement when he was younger (at his parent's place).  Dave had his safe delivered to our garage.  We can fit both the camper and trailer on our side yard now, yeah!

Cute Hudson taking pictures on Joann's phone :)

Nyles and Carter participated in a rock climbing camp all week, from 12:30pm to 4pm.  They both worked hard, learned a lot, and had a great time!  Carter's friend Colin was there too.  Nyles was the oldest in the group and got certified to belay the other kids down.  Awesome job boys!

Saturday, we celebrated Carter's 9th birthday.  In light of the birthday card my parent's gave him last year, we made cupcakes to honor it.  We then went up to Lagoon to celebrate w/ cousins!

Hudson w/ Steve on the Scrambler.  

Carter wanted to ride the Skycoaster for his birthday, with Nyles and Conor!

There they go!

Silly Hudson after eating a cupcake.  We ate lunch, sang to Carter, and ate cupcakes.

Claire and Alexa braiding Rob's beard while we wait in line for the new rides.  We then sang Happy Birthday again to Carter.  Steve held him up to embarrass him more, as more joined in to sing.

Cool Hudson w/ Stacie's sunglasses on.  Hudson trying the new helicopter ride in the District.  

Steve and Hudson going on Rock-O-Plane.

Some of Rocket.  We went on the train ride w/ Hudson, while others went to Cannibal.

Then we went back to the District w/ Melanie's family.

I took Hudson on more kiddie rides before we called it a day.

We left Lagoon, then went across the freeway and got Cafe Rio for dinner.  Then we went home.

Pretty flowers in bloom in our yard.

Hudson ready for a haircut.  Cute Carter when he was 2 eating all of Grandma Joann's raspberries.  Happy birthday to Carter (officially on Sunday).  He got a cool Lego set!

We went over to Diane/LuDean's for dinner on Sunday to celebrate Carter's birthday.  He wanted ribs for dinner, so Steve smoked them.  Dave and Joann came down as well to celebrate w/ us.

Minion pictures!

We played a game and opened his present from Diane and Dave/Joann.  He got a Lego Stitch! Then Mickey bars for dessert!

Happy 9th birthday to Carter!  The boys digging out gems.

It was a fun week!  We're so grateful for Carter in our life!  He brings so much joy to our family!  Thank you all for celebrating w/ us and making his day special!
