A fun week with Mimi & Papa..

We found this pretty waterfall and Crew loved all the caterpillers everywhere.

This is Crew's new little pose when he gets mad....so stinkin cute!




At the St. Paul Minnesota Temple. It is a tiny one but so pretty.

We drove over to Hudson, WI. and drove along this gorgeous lake.


We ate at the yummy "Nook" and had their famous juicy Nookie hamburgers...delicious!

Crew wanted his face painted and picked...Elmo.


Crew loved the Cotton Candy at the game. And the sno cone, peanuts and pizza...

Marissa made me this beautiful cake for my birthday! Isn't it adorable? I loved it!


Most of us married girls out here this summer.

My dad and Wyatt took my mom and I out to Ruth's Chris for our b-day dinner. It was amazing!



This is Crew's favorite ride at MOA. He had to let Mimi & Papa try it our too!

My parents came in to town to visit us and explore Minneapolis. We had such a fun week with them. It was nice celebrating my mom's birthday and my birthday with us all together. Thanks Mom and Dad for such a great time...and thanks for helping me clean out my garage. I love it!

Look at my teeth!

Hudson finally let me get a picture of his first two new little teeth. I love this picture of our little guy. He just melts my heart!

Nana & Papa came to visit!

This past week Wyatt's parents came to visit us. We had such a fun time. We showed them Crew's favorite place to go...the Mall of America. We walked around, ate at Bubba Gump and then of course rode all the fun rides. We also went to the Minnesota Zoo (i forgot my camera), the Minnesota Twins game (it was Mabel's 1st ever LIVE baseball game and i forgot my camera in the car again...), went to the Aquarium and then just drove around exploring the city and also ate at all the yummy places out here. Crew and Hudson loved having their Nana & Papa around. I did too...it's nice having a little help once in a while with the 2 kiddos. Thanks Nana & Papa for everything. We had so much fun!

My long week..

Hudson is Crawling... from jenny dannels on Vimeo.

These past few weeks have been a little rough on me. I have been stuck at home with a sick kid (Crew) who had an ear infection, and was put on amoxicillin, then broke out in a rash covering his whole body and then we found out that he is allergic to amoxicillin. On top of Crew being sick and waking up every 2 hours in the middle of the night, Hudson just cut his first 2 teeth and has been super fussy and needy. But this week has been much better. Crew is back to his normal self and since Hudson's teeth finally broke through he is back to being the happy little guy i know. And Hudson starting crawling...I can't believe he is already all over the place. I don't know if I am ready for this yet..but there is no stopping this little guy. He is everywhere and now into EVERYTHING! So my rough week has now turned into a week full of firsts. Go Hudson! Now you can try to keep up with your crazy brother. And thanks Brittney for watching my boys for a few hours so I could go get pampered. It was long overdue.

Joining the Private Club

Due to recent events we are now forced to go private. I hate private blogs but there is no other choice. Leave me a comment with your email address so I can add you or you can email me at jennydannels@gmail.com. We will be going private a week from today.

Won't you be my neighbor?

I got a knock on my door today and my next door neighbor brought me these beautiful flowers. It was so sweet of her. We love all our new neighbors, they have all been very welcoming. Thanks neighbor!

Seriously...amazing.

I just have to give a quick shout out to my amazing husband. Wyatt had his best week EVER installing 32 accounts. Great job babe! We are so proud of you and so thankful for all your hard work!

Hudson is 6 months already...

It feels like just yesterday I had this little boy and now to think he is already 6 months old is crazy to me. Hudson is such a sweet little boy and always makes our family so happy with his big goofy smile. He currently weighs 18 lbs and is 29 inches long. Here is what Hudson is up to these days:

He is Rolling, Rolling & Rolling. If he sees something he wants he will find a way to get there.
He is Scooting. I am sure he will be off and crawling any day now.
He is still trying to master sitting up by himself. He is almost completely there.
He loves eating baby food. He finally likes it. He hated it at first but now he loves it.
He is cutting 2 teeth. One on the top front left and one on the bottom front right.
He is sleeping through the night. Goes down around 9:30pm and wakes up at 7:45am.
He shakes his head like he's saying, "no, no, no." It is hilarious!

We love you little Hud. You are the best little boy. We are so thankful you were sent to our family.

Happy Easter!

Crew and Hudson's best little friends out here...Madisin and McKinlee

I attempted to make these little Easter Egg cupcake pops. They were fun to make!

Crew and Madasin having fun dyeing Easter Eggs at our house

Today the boys woke up to their Easter baskets filled with lots of fun little goodies, went to church, came home for naps, ate dinner and then had an Easter egg hunt and dessert at the park with some of our friends. We had a great little Easter and hope you did too!
