Spring

Spring is a wonderful time of year!  
I have a few favorites:

1.  Birthdays

We went down to Sunnyside to celebrate our nieces birthday.  Since Raylee and Hudson are days apart, we also celebrated our almost 6 year old at the time.  He loves a good party and some presents!

 


Yes thank you Aunt Tiff for the night vision and thank you Grandma Ev for the nerf gun.  You've made him a very happy boy!

We also celebrated with blue frosted cupcakes, thanks Aunt Tiff!

Baylee's birthday was on a gorgeous Saturday at Grandma & Grandpas.  Great Grandpa drove up in his new, but old, Model T.  Can't you see those crazy two cruisin all around?!



Here the kids are all lined up for their Easter egg hunt!  They are listening patiently to Aunt Tiff's directions!


Go go go!!!
Notice Jared is ready to race Hudson:).


Hannah loved it!  There were no tears, unlike her brother at 2.


A proud girl!


Counting his loot!



Then there was plenty of time to sit back and relax.


Especially with cousins!  


Happy Birthday Raylee & Hudson!

2.  Easter

When I think of my precious baby boy, I get sentimental thinking of Jesus' death in a deeper way every year.  I love Easter for the dresses, fancy clothes, but I really like focusing on what truly matters, Christ's resurrection!


But since we were in Sunnyside, we went to church which meant Easter outfits:).

Last family picture as a family of 4!


Cousins!  
In birth order!  Thank you Aunt Lissa!




Then it was time to say good bye...but we said good bye to 3 not 2.  Hudson stayed a few extra nights with Grandma & Grandpa.  I cherished my time staying at my grandparents and Hudson does as well.
Here they are eating their peanuts and apples.  They eventually had to cut Hudson off from peanuts because he enjoyed them A LOT!


While down there they went to the dairy to see Raylee!


And took a ride in Grandpa's truck!


3.  Spring Break

Yes, spring break lives on for me!  It's one perk of the job but I tell you it about kills me every year getting to it because conferences are right before.  Ugh.  Any who, Hudson had a fabulous break.  A few days at Grandma & Grandpas, break fast at Holman and then Pops took him on a fishing trip in Montana, just the two of them:).


Pops caught one fish...




That was dinner ! Yay!


Hudson's two favorite meals are mac n cheese and fish!  Love it!  He was a happy camper!


They fished the next day.  Pops caught another one but had to release it, too small.  
It was a stocked lake and I think Pops was disappointed Hudson didn't catch a fish but I'm sure Hudson was just happy to be there;).



And just like that he grew up even more. 
We love you Hudson Henry!  
How can you not adore this face?!

Baby Haak #3

Well baby Haak #3 is growing!  I finally got a baby bump around 5 months.  
I would say this pregnancy resembles Hannah's more than Hudson's.  I am on my anti-nausea meds again, I can barely eat which is why they keep monitoring my weight, all food repulses me and my doc tells me think calories.  I craved Starburst and Skittles at first, which the doc said was due to my need for glucose.  I now want steak and salad, mmm.  It's hard to tell what food I will eat until that moment.  I'm a horrible meal planner lately:(.  Thanks hubs for helping me out!

This was Super Bowl 2015


"Is she getting fat or pregnant?"  I hate that stage:).

Now I have a bump!

We had baby Haak's ultrasound in March.  The baby was so snug and comfy, the ultrasound tech couldn't get the baby to move to get a cute profile pic.  The tech did say she could tell the gender, and it is only one.  Few!  Can't wait to find out!

80's day at school


Jared said I looked like a knocked up cheerleader:(.  LOL

Love notes from my boy

6 months


Pregnancy blond moments:
-Ordering flowers for a friend and saying I didn't get a confirmation email...when I did it was just in another email account.  I spent a lot of time on the phone and I didn't need to:(.
-Pre-ordering the newest Hobbit movie for Jared in January even though I swore up and down I didn't....intentionally I didn't mean to.  It just magically showed up!
-Tipping my hair dresser $25
-Realizing that a doctor's appointment was at 9 and leaving at 9.  Somehow I thought I'd magically get there with no travel time?!  They did however see us and had grace on this pregnant mamma!
-I'm just off most days and I use the phrase "Have I told you I'm pregnant?" daily. 

Haak House Shenanigans

A few of my favorite Haak hOuse Shenanigans:

Karate
Hudson was promoted to an advanced white belt. 


This is the belt promotion ceremony.  Hudson was pretty excited!!!






One thing I love about karate is the character lessons at each class.  
Nunchux fun!  Sometimes it does hurt though!




Hannah loves to mimic brother.  I think she is doing her exercises...push ups I'm thinking:).

Hannah is a super snuggler!

We are going to trim Hannah's long back curl at 3:).
