Hudson-isms

Just some random cuteness of Hudson's current doings....

Tonight, after I said prayers with Hudson, I opened my eyes to see this...

The other night, Hudson heard Rob out in the garage and decided to join the party

Logan's baptism

Logan was baptized on July 11th, 2009. It was so awesome. He had so many family and friends that came! Special thanks go to Grandpa Erick, Grandma Cheryl, Grandma Necia, Nana (for leading the music!), Papa (for his talk on baptism), Uncle Mark, Aunt Shannon, Collin, Gracie, Quinn, Uncle Scott, Tycie, (for playing the piano), McClaine, Dexter (and Randi) Brunt, Brock (and Heather) Chapman, Liz, Tessa and Macie Thornton, and Melanie, Brenna and Kaylee Alexander for coming to the baptism! It meant sooo much to us that you would share Logan's special day!

I was asked to 'spotlight' Logan and this is what I shared...

"On June 24th 2001, we were blessed to have Logan Michael Wright come to our family. He is the oldest of 3 kids and he is a good big brother. He has a talent for having a burning desire to learn. Everyday he wakes up, (as early as we let him!) excited for what the day might bring. He is most often found building paper airplanes, lego helicopters/airplanes, bug hunting, playing baseball, and reading books about space, insects or sharks. He is constantly informing us of fun & exciting facts about the creatures of the world around us. He loves to be tickled and loves to make his siblings and friends laugh. He has always been very conscientious of other people's feelings. He is always careful to not say things that might offend others.

When asked what he has done to prepare to be baptized, Logan said, " I asked Heavenly Father if I was choosing the right to be baptized and my chest got really warm. And then I thought about Jesus and my chest got even warmer. Then I thanked Heavenly Father for helping me know."

When I asked Logan 'What his baptism means to him', he said, "I want to be a member of the Church and go to heaven to be with Jesus. I want to get the Holy Ghost to help me choose the right and be safe."

It is so amazing to me at how grown up my little 8 year old is. He understands so much about the love his Heavenly Father has for him. We love you Logan and are so pleased with your decision to be baptized. You are such a good example to your little sister and brother! We are so lucky to have you in our family!

Logan's birthday (in his own words)

Today I am 8. It was such a fun day. Mom took me and Hailey and Hudson to Ron's for lunch. I love that place! Then my grandmas and grandpa, Auntie, Tycie, Carson and McLaine came over for pizza and strawberry shortcake! I got the best presents! I got a new telescope, a Lego airplane, a baseball, coloring book, toy grasshopper and a snake that you put in water and it grows! (My mom wasn't too happy about that one!) I also got a model airplane and some money that I took to the Build-A-Bear workshop and got my new best friend, Benny. I am happy to be 8! I am getting baptized on July 11th. I can't wait!

It's great to be 8!

Ice Cream in a bag

Logan brought this recipe home from school and we just made it today.  We made vanilla and it was sooo yummy!  Best of all, it took less than 5 minutes and the kids loved it!  

Ice Cream in a bag

Small Ziploc: (sandwich size)

1/2 cup milk

2 tsp. vanilla

2 Tbsp. sugar (just because I wanted to make it sweet!  The recipe calls for 2 tsp. sugar)

chocolate or strawberry syrup (if desired)

Large Ziploc:

1/2 filled w/ ice (can do a little more than half if you want)

6 Tbsp. salt

*Seal small ziploc

*Place small ziploc inside large Ziploc

*Seal large bag

*Shake for approx. 4 minutes or until solidified like ice cream

*Pour into bowls and.....

Enjoy!

Note: Logan said that when they made it at school, the small bags had a tendency to open, so all the salt from the big bag got into it and it was sick.  So... before you take a bite, make sure that the small bag didn't open during the shaking process!

Also, since it doesn't really make that much per bag, you can just make a bag for each person! :)  But this recipe gave enough for Logan, Hailey, Hudson and me.

Island Transportation

While we were in Hawaii, Rob and I rented a Toyota Yaris.  When we first called the kids when we got there, they asked what car we were driving.  (Apparently they were confused as to how we were able to go places since "our" car was at home...)  So, after we got home, Hailey kept asking questions about what the car looked like, etc., and I promised her that I would show her what it looked like if we ever saw one driving around.

Well, last night, we were driving around and we saw a Yaris.  Hailey goes, "You drove THAT car on the sand?!?!"  Logan goes, "They have roads Hailey."  LOL   We were laughing soo hard!
