Is it sad that I am paler than Hudson?
Don't mind Jacob's funky eye, this is the best picture of all of us.
Yesterday, Hudson and I had the opportunity to go to the Phoenix Children's Museum with some friends of ours. Thanks so much to Heather for getting the culture pass! Woo hoo! We had a lot of fun. It was a little hectic. There were a lot of school aged kids there, running around and yelling. Luckily, there is a special room for kids three and under. We spent most of our time in there. Hudson really seemed to enjoy the change of scenery and likes spending time with other little kids. I think he gets bored of me. His favorite part was the fun noodle field. They have a ton of fun noodles hanging from the ceiling and you get to walk through them. I actually got a really great picture of his happy face! Usually when the camera appears, he goes stone faced. It'll will be great to go back when he is older and can walk. PS- Don't you love his little teeth? They crack me up.
Let's just start this off by saying that I hate moving. I didn't think we had that much stuff until we had to move it all. It didn't help that we had to clean and sanitize everything before we moved in either. It is definitely still a work in progress but it is starting to feel more like a home. We have a bit more room, which is nice. We have two bathrooms which is awesome. We live right by an elementary school and the lady who announces things over the PA system has the most annoying voice though. I am already sick of her. Sorry for the millions of pictures, but you have to see the before to appreciate the after.
You've all seen that hideous wallpaper. Here is after. Not done, but much better.

Better eh?It has been forever since I have posted but I have a good reason. We moved. But that's for another post. We had a great Thanksgiving down in Tucson. It was really nice to get away from all the stress of a new house and relax with my family. It's especially nice because I get to somewhat be a kid and have my mom take care of me again. It was really fun to have Hudson this year. He definitely enjoyed the food. He takes after both his parents on that one. We did go black Friday shopping while Uncle Isaac snoozed at home with Hudson. We got some things for the new house but also some cheap movies (the best kind!) Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
Getting ready for Thanksgiving by playing Rock BandThe house is pretty much all packed up, I've got my paint colors all picked out. I'm just waiting for them to give me my house! I want to get in there already, I've got a lot of work to do before it will be my home. Here is proof:
This is my bedroom at current. I thought maybe I'd keep the border but decided it would be best just to get rid of all of it. At least I've got John Mayer's new Battle Studies to keep me company. Soooo goood! Cross your fingers that tomorrow will be the day!
I thought it was a good idea to get another dog right now. She pees in the house and bites my ankles and pants when I walk away from her. She eats all the food, poor Ace! However, she is cute and cuddly and Ace is much more happy now that she is around. I'm sure things will get better once she's housetrained and gets a little older.
We had a fun Halloween this year. It took me forever to decide what we were going to dress up as. We finally decided on Pirates of the Caribeann. Jacob was William Turner, I was Elizabeth Swann, and Hudson was Jack Sparrow. Overall, I think they turned out really well. I love mine and Hudson's vests! His was much easier to make, gotta love felt! I tried to dye Jacob's shirt a maroon color but it came out sort of pink. (Faded Salmon, ha ha!) I forgot to put Hudson's sash on, two nights in a row! Other than that though, things were great. We went to our ward party which was kind of a bust. We carved pumpkins with my sis and went to this little carnival that was in someone in our neighborhood's backyard. I got cotton candy! Woo hoo! And of course, we ate our traditional hot dogs and chili. Yum! Next up: Thanksgiving!
I'm gonna eat you!
