Hudson's First Birthday

 First off I must say it's about time blogger got there act together and got a better way to upload pictures. I am still trying to figure out how it all works, so bear with me in this post!
** I just previewed my post before posting it and it looks NOTHING like its supposed to. some pictures are clumped on here and in preview they are all in a line. Blogger, you got a long way to go to make me like you. On the bright side I noticed while I was scrolling down the pictures kinda go wavy like a caterpillar!**

 Stef baked all the cupcakes and cakes and decorated the cupcakes and Hudson's smash cake.

I decorated the head

 The spread. Stef had the who Hungry Caterpillar story written out with all the food he ate through. It was amazing!

 

 

Smash cake! Hudson loved it!!

 Darcy made Hudson a toy box for his birthday

 

More presents!

The 'H' is branded onto the toy box. Darcy spent a lot of time working on this toy box for Hudson. I think it turned out great.

Happy 1st Birthday Hudson. Uncle Darcy and I love you lots!!

What have I been up to?

I have been...
- printing new recipes for my homemade cookbook
- soaking in my view of the river since it keeps dropping, and will soon be gone
- planting flowers (and a tomato plant) in my pots from auntie Hilda
- taking pictures of Darcy's latest creation - (stay tuned for Hudson's first birthday party)
- loving my new white vase from Gail's, now if only I would have flowers to put in it!
- counting down the days to...
                        - Fargo (2 days)
                        - Minneapolis (29 days)
                        - celebrating my favorite nephews first birthday (33 day, I realize this conflicts with us going camping but Sudsy's party will be at the end of June)
                        - relaxing at Hecla (33day)
                        - date night at Cirque De Soleil (51 days)
                        - standing up at some of our best friends wedding (65 days)
                        - relaxing at Hecla again (71 days)
- finding new sites to help my baking / cooking addiction
- printing coupons
- exploring a few new business ventures
- running into old friends and making dates to get together
- not feeling like uploading pictures to go along with this post
- spending WAY to much time on facebook and remembering why I quit in the first place
- looking at Jerry Seinfeld tickets and thinking its a 'must see no matter the cost' but cant imagine spending over $300 for Darcy and I to go (those are the CHEAPEST tickets, yeesh kapeesh!)
- listening to a friends anxiety about big changes in her life and trying to be supportive even when I'm not sure what to say
- being extra thankful for my husband
- really wanting to go to Brittany Spears, but don't know who I'd go with. I heart her! (well maybe more her music than her) 
- wishing I put more of my good intentions into action

So that is what I have been up to. Pictures to come?  We'll see.
