This little stud turned 9

On June 24th, Logan turned 9! We had his birthday party at LASERQUEST and I think all the boys had a BLAST! (as you can see from their sweatiness) It was definitely a great place to have a party with eight hyper, sweaty, stinky 9 year old boys!

He also just received his "WOLF" in Scouts. He was so excited and we're very "pleased" with his accomplishment. He LOVES Scouts! Now if only it can teach him to keep things organized and in it's place... ie... baseball hat, scout book, belt for church, church shoes.... oh and teach him to hang up his clothes and keep his Legos organized (or even just off the floor)... that would be great! :) Since apparently having his mom and dad tell him every single day isn't doing the trick!

Whoever came up with the phrase "Terrible Two's", never had a 3 year old!

Latest Hudson-isms

Ok, I have SOOO many things I need to post about from the last couple months, but I needed to post this before I forget.

Lately, Hudson has been out of control. Not just in his behavior, but in the things he says as well. Here is a list of what he's been up to:

*Last week, I took the kids to the gym and when I came to pick them up, the teacher told me that he had bit her. Lovely. Needless to say, I haven't been back yet.

*Wearing his snow boots to the sprinkler park

*He's been crying before he goes into nursery, but once he goes in, he's fine. Such a manipulator.

*Whenever he asks for something or asks if he can do something and I say yes, he goes, "YESSSSS!" with his hand in a fist. It is soo hilarious!

*Tonight, when we were getting ready for bed, he goes, "I AM NOT A GIRL'S TOY!" For those of you who have seen previews of Toy Story 3, you'll know what he's talking about!

*Randomly licks us. So gross!

*Will throw the HUGEST tantrums and will be inconsolable... it's soo fun when we're all confined in the car while he's doing it! I was seriously worried that Berkley might have permanent hearing damage. But she seems to be ok.

*During Logan's concert at school, he kept running out of the gym and hiding between the lunch tables that were folded up in the hallway. And also had to go potty and poop about 3 times during it.

*Will come up to me and hug my leg and say, "Mommy, I want to snuggle with you on the couch."

*I got rear-ended today, and while we were waiting for the cop to come, Hudson goes, "That stupid guy hit our car!" To which then he said, "Is he gonna go to jail?"

*Screams sooooo loud when Logan and Hailey taunt and tease him. It is sooo embarrassing.

*When I told the kids that we were going to Best Buy today to return my camera, he asked "Can I play with the iPads again?"

*Tonight he said the prayer by himself, and he prayed that he would be nice and that he would be nice to Jesus and Heavenly Father when they come to our house.

*He answered the phone the other day and it was Grandpa. After talking to him for a couple minutes, he handed me the phone and goes, "It's your dad."

*He has my sense of smell. If something smells good or bad, he's not shy about telling you! Sometimes he'll just come up and hug me and he'll sniff my neck and say "Mom, you smell good." LOL Tonight, I was hugging Hailey and he came up and wanted to be part of the hug and he goes, "You stink, girls!" LOL I kindly reminded him that girls NEVER stink! Then he took another wiff and goes, "Oh ya, you smell good."

I'm sure there's so many other things he's been saying and doing lately, but I'm exhausted and I have to get in bed. Just wanted to write these things down before my mommy brain forgot them.

Our lives would definitely be boring without Hudson. We love him sooo much! Biting and all!
