Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter!  It was a little cool here in MN, but at least the sun did come out both Saturday & Sunday afternoon.  We started out our morning with an indoor Easter Egg Hunt!

Excited about our first egg!





I love how everytime he found an egg it was the exact same pose & he was SO excited!

Checking out our easter basket from the Easter Bunny!  This year it was a Cars 2 theme with the movie, a new book, coloring book, and a dish set.

After our egg hunt we went ahead and decorated some Easter eggs.  My little helper :)


Checking the colors

Happy Easter from the Weingartz Family!

Clearwater Beach!

Saturday & Sunday we spent most of the day at Clearwater Beach!  It was mid-60's to 70's, so cooler for Florida natives but perfect for Minnesotans :)

Telling Troy what to do, little bossy boy :)



Showing me the plane!



Making "santa hat's"



Such a big boy

The last few times we have been by the ocean, Hudson has not wanted anything to do with the water, he definitely preferred to hang out in the sand.  This time we actually got him to put his feet in the water with a little convincing.

Tor-tor trying to convince him the water isn't so bad (it was a little cool)

By the end of the week he was okay with getting his feet wet :)

Monday morning we left bright & early to return to Minnesota and a snowstorm :(

Waiting to take off (no he doesn't usually have a pacifier but I figured this would help with the ear pressure)


Such a fun week visitng Papa in Florida!  Hopefully we can make a return trip in the fall with little sister :)

Florida! (part one)

These last two and a half weeks have been a whirlwind.  Friday March 8th I was off to Denver for a board review course with my fave PA ladies, Ali, Alison, and Kassandra!  We sat through lectures Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from about 6:45 AM to 5 PM :(  It was still a great weekend with my ladies, can't wait for our next trip :)

I returned Monday night and Tuesday was spent unpacking and packing as Hudson, Tonia, & I were off to Florida Wednesday morning until Monday to visit my Dad and meet up with my mom and brothers who arrived earlier in the week.  This was Hudson's fourth plane trip, so he was an expert :)  This time though, he had his own big seat :)

Watching them load the luggage on to our plane

Enjoying our apple juice & pretzels while watching Bob the builder

Thursday was a little cooler in Tampa so we headed to the Tampa Zoo to see some animals



Hudson loved the baby elephant!  He keeps talking about how the baby elephant picked up the stick :)

Getting a closer look of the elephants

He found some water!

Waiting to touch a stingray with Papa & Nana

Fun day at the Zoo!

Friday was spent relaxing at home and by the pool but we headed down to Clearwater beach after nap to play in the sand, grab some dinner, and watch the sunset.





I could get used to seeing this everynight :)

Is it a Boy or a Girl???

Thursday March 7th I had my big ultrasound at Mayo Clinic :)  Baby was very active and making it difficult for the ultrasound tech to do her measurements, but cooperated enough to reveal the gender....


Excuse the tears, Hudson was having a bit of a meltdown moment.....

Pink or Blue?

Yep, the bakery messed up and forgot our middle icing layer :(

Luckily Justin & I already knew what we were having, the cake was more something fun for Hudson.  Unfortunately I was leaving the next morning for Denver for a 3-day board review, returning Monday night and then Hudson & I were off to Florida on Wednesday morning until the following Monday.  But the bakery was nice enough to give us a new cake, which we enjoyed this past week :)


PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Girl due beginning of August 2013!!!

Let the shopping for pink begin :)

Active toddler!

Here are some recent photos of Hudson and all of his craziness :)  This little guy constantly makes us smile!


Reading our Thomas Look & Find from Nana & Papa.  He pretty much has the book memorized :)

Hudson loves to clean!  Cleaning the bathroom floor and the kitchen floor after washing dishes.  Hopes this continues into our teenage years :)

His cheesy smile for Papa

Making a silly face for Auntie Tonia

Excited about our treat from Nana!  Of course he goes straight for the frosting :)
