May

We started May off with the Idaho Falls temple open house.

Not a whole lot changed on the inside besides getting it up to current codes, but it was still a great family night walking through it. 

Hudson was wild while trying to watch the little preview movie and Ella hit her head pretty hard while watching the movie so we started it off really well haha.

Hudson despised the booties and wanted to climb on everything, but overall it was a good time.

We stopped at Wendys on the way home because we were STARVING by the time we got out and then put the kids to bed. 

I don't actually remember why I even took this picture, but I could probably take this same picture every single day because there's hardly a day that goes by that Hudson doesn't drive his tractor around.

Random zoo pictures from the month. 

Getting a zoo pas for Christmas was definitely one of Hudson's best presents this past year. We found ourselves there at least once a week and some weeks twice. 

It's the best way to get out of the house and burn some energy.

We headed down to Logan for my cousin, Tyler's, wedding. I just love all of the flowers on this temple ground. We forgot Taylor's recommend (Which we actually found in the car a few weeks later. Oops.) so he hung out with the kids during the sealing. Truthfully, it was probably for the best because the kids were kind of grumpy from the car ride and they were both tired. 

Grandma Lloyd got Hudson this adorable suit for church so we, of course, had to get a picture to send to her. This makes me miss his longer hair...

Our Mother's Day was pretty low key. I bought myself a heat press for making shirts as my present and I'm in love with it :) Normally I don't make a big deal of any sort of holidays with presents, but I've wanted a heat press for a long while and this was the perfect excuse to treat myself to one. 

Taylor brought me home some gorgeous white orchids Saturday night, and after killing two of the flowers on it I'm proud to say the rest of the flowers are still alive and well.

We ate dinner that night with the BUshes and make Taylor and Will make everyone dinner. They chose spaghetti, and it didn't turn out half bad. 

My first Mother's Day craft from Hudson. He made it in nursery at church, and it was so cute! 

It hung on our fridge for a long while until Hudson got it down and spilled something on it. 

Random pictures from dinners with the Bushes.

We're probably due for a new picture of Hudson hugging Emma.

They're going to get married one day and when they do we're going to display all of these hugging pictures at their wedding.

Taylor's work, Pioneer, was sponsoring the monster truck show at Sandy Downs which meant free tickets for us :)

The weather was a little cold and we didn't stay for too long because of bedtimes, but everyone had fun. Hudson was terrified of how loud they were and kept making Taylor cover his ears, but he also was so excited about them. Ella didn't care about how long they were and her eyes were locked on the trucks when they were driving around. 

We came home with a big bag of kettle corn that Hudson proceeded to eat for a pre bedtime snack and breakfast the next morning. He is a kettle corn addict.

I went to a training in Provo for LuLaRoe and got to meet quite a few girls that are on the same team as I am. It was a nice little girls trip with Carly. 

We went to Super Target, In N Out, and Krispy Kreme along with our training so all in all it was basically a perfect kid free day. 

On Memorial Day we went to Mesa Falls. 

We made it about halfway through the hike to the lower falls and then turned back because Hudson couldn't really walk because of a rash on his leg and it was getting to be pretty hot outside.

At least we got to see the upper falls and now we have a reason to make it back there since we still need to see the lower falls. 

Random Pictures from the Month:

I set Ella in the back of the van with the check so we could walk to the bank to make the car payment and then ran inside to grab something real fast. When I walked back outside I found a half eaten check hahaha.
