Excited for a little Island time...

We are preparing for a 9 day vacation in Kauai. I am beyond excited (despite the massive amt of flying we will have to do with the kiddos)-because this is my favorite place ON EARTH.

Hudson is sooo excited. I think he is going to be a beach lover like his parents. Hope all had a great holiday!!!! We did and are so grateful :)

Somebody's Cute

Darling girl-you are SUCH a doll.

Isla Versus Hudson

Since everyone says they look so much alike, I figured I would do a comparison and this momma doesn't think they look much alike at all.  :) Here are their two month pics.

Hudson Benjamin

Thoughts?

Two months!

TWO MONTHS!

Isla was two months on December 17 and I have been a bit behind on posting. What is Isla up to now? Isla is growing quickly out of size one diapers and should be wearing twos (although I am trying to use up the size ones I have).  She is wearing the big 0-3 month clothes and some 3-6 month clothes. She is a smiling girl and laughs and smiles a ton-especially in the morning! She is really good at holding her head up and is a pro at tummy time (I think this girl will crawl early!...eek). She is a great eater and still solely on breastmilk and weighed 12 lbs 4.5 oz at her 2 month appt. She also slept through the night for the first time this week! We were thrilled. Good job baby girl!

We are all in love with her. She is mommy's little girl and it is obvious! The baby girl has everything girly you could imagine because mommy just can't resist. Hudson is sooo good with her and is such an absolute sweet soul. We are soooo lucky to have such a wonderful little man in our lives. I am so in love with him.

A few gifts our kiddos are snagging for Christmas:

 The toy kitchen (stove and fridge) is a joint gift for both kiddos from us and Ellie Bubbie & Poppy.

Couldn't resist this bambi for Baby Girl.

 Gotz baby doll from PB kids for Baby Girl.

And how cute are these princesses for Isla.

Our big guy loves this movie and is getting the movie, figures and a few other MU items:

He is also snagging Boo from Monsters Inc., a bunch of Disney figures, Planes the movie, some fun candy in his stocking, a bike from Grandma & Grandpa and some play food for their new kitchen. Merry Christmas! I can't wait to see Hudson's face on Christmas morning! Traditions with him have been sooo fun this year.

Blessed

This season has been a whirlwind! Starting right now, my only focus is my family and making this holiday season memorable as the first in our new home with our new baby girl and precious son. I suggest a mass slow down...starting NOW. Signal Christmas music...

But seriously, Brandon and I need to sit down, notice how gorgeous our babies are, look at the Christmas lights, eat yummy food, enjoy our kiddos and each other. It has just been too busy this year. I am going to start with wrapping Baby Isla's beautiful baby doll today and putting it under the tree....

Merry Christmas to all.

December! :)

We had a wonderful thanksgiving with family and still have family in town. We have had a great time. I can't believe it is already December and I only have 8 more weeks off from work! We are gearing up for the holidays, working on indoor and outdoor decorations.  Here are a couple random pictures:
