March pictures

Here's how Hudson prefers his breakfast...

Hadley is into ALL crafts. Her friend Charlotte spent the night the other night and they made their own kites (in hopes they would actually fly), made the world's longest rainbow loom necklace, and colored a million pictures. They are a perfect match for playing together. It was dark in her room and the picture is blurry but I took a picture of the girls after they fell asleep because they looked so cute!

Hadley is loving learning to read and is so sweet to read to Hudson. He half pays attention and half watches tv...

Within minutes Hadley was asking for a nap...

...while Hudson threw a fit at the mere mention of a nap!

Still throwing a fit and trying to hide from mommy.

Yep. Just one of those days.

We are tired of the cold weather and ready for swim weather! Maybe if the kids wear their goggles in the bath it will hurry summer along?

Kids learn to take "selfies" at a young age! Good thing she is sweeter than she is sassy!

"Look, Mommy... I a bear like my shirt."

Girls are ready for pajama day at school.

Sweet boy resting on his daddy before bedtime.

Batman is by far Hudson's favorite superhero...can you tell?

Picked Hadley up from school and after pulling in the neighborhood Hudson asked if he could climb in the back with Hadley. I looked back to see a grown up little boy sitting back there!

Unfortunately, in the middle of March we had a big snow that left plenty of ice and snow on the ground. The kids wanted to have a snowball fight with each other and without gloves their hands got pretty cold. I just thought this picture was SO cute of Hadley warming up Hudson's hands for him!

Hadley started soccer again and before leaving for her first practice Hudson asked to put on his soccer shoes too. He didn't handle it too well when we got to practice and he found out he didn't get to play with the big girls. He was able to warm up with them but then had a little meltdown when he had to quit. We may be starting soccer soon!

TV time with Daddy...

We met our new next door neighbors and that same day the invited Hadley to Emma's 4th birthday party. She was so excited to go and because of her being the biggest kid there she was the one that finally broke the pinata! She was pretty proud!

We helped host a bridal shower for Lindsay Taylor and it was wonderful. So many people came out to celebrate her and it was great to have a date night away and visit with friends.

This little guy is dinosaur crazy! He knows the names of all the main ones including: stegosaurus, brachiosaurus, t-rex, pterydactyl, and triceratops. It is really cute to hear him say their names.

After t-ball practice one day we had a few of the girls (Prestyn, Brooklyn, and Holland) over to play. They loved having races in the cars and playing outside. So thankful for warm days in March.

Zooming around on his tricycle and trying to chase me down. All fun and games until he clipped my toe with the tires!

We can't seem to keep this kid clean. And it doesn't help that he has a buddy to get dirty with him! Oscar and Hudson spend a lot of time together at their sister's practices and games.

Such a cute little t-baller:

A few pics of how Hudson and I spend our time while Hadley is at school.

Dinner with our friends...These silly kids have so much fun together and its pretty great for them to finally be the age that dinner out is not such a chore.

Hadley's friend, Knox, had his birthday party at the Thunder practice facility. Hadley thought it was pretty cool to stand in Durant's locker.

We had to send this picture to Papa...

And a little more bike riding. This kid is learning to really love his bike!

Jake William Scott is here!

Our newest nephew is here!!! And he is precious. Hadley was so excited to get up to the hospital and meet Jake William Scott. Hudson, who has always loved babies, must be in a little phase of no interest. We got up to the hospital and he didn't really want to look (instead he just watched a movie). A big change from 8 months ago when Gunner was born and he screamed if anyone else was holding the baby! 

I am so excited to watch Jake grow up just around the corner from us. And excited to add another cousin to 7 we already have on this side of the family! We love you already, Jake!

This is the first picture we received letting us know he was here and healthy:

Proud big cousin:

Hopefully, I will have some more picture updates soon!

First of soccer and tball season

Soccer with the Pink Knights and t-ball with the Purple Pixies have started again! Its going to be a busy spring with soccer, tball, and dance. And not only that, Hadley's school friends put together a t-ball team as well (the Diamond Divas) that starts in a couple weeks so it will add more to the chaos. But Hadley is always on the go and just doesn't wear out so she is pumped and ready. We've already discussed how it all might need to change next year when she starts first grade and begins getting more homework!

Here are some pictures of the first few soccer practices and games. It has been a WINDY start and the soccer fields are always even windier!



Peyton, Mama, and Papa came out to watch Hadley's first game. Hudson loved having someone to play with during the game.

These next three pictures are of Hadley's first goal of the season! She was passed the ball, dribbled around a goal, and shot it in the right side of the goal. Daddy was at home sick and so sad he missed it but it was fun to text him updates throughout the game.

Hadley is really good at throwing in the ball so she is often given that job. Sidenote: I still know VERY little about soccer so I will not be using ANY of the right terms. Surely, I will start learning them soon.

Hadley going after the ball and getting tripped by an opponent. I am so proud of how hard she always hustles and how she jumps right up and gets back in the game after ending up on the ground. We never hear complaints out of her.

First soccer game was a success with a win and a goal scored by Hadley!

Some pictures from Hadley's first t-ball game. This year I am trying to get a lot more video of her playing so I may not have as many pictures.

Brooklyn, Hadley, and Story before the game.

Second base still seems to be Hadley's favorite position though the girls still move around a lot and play them all.

The little brother clan. We leave every single game covered in dirt!

And a win for the Purple Pixies as well!
The end of the game snacks are quite possibly the reason the kids play. Ha!
