Hudson is starting to properly say "Evan."
Up until this morning, when Hudson said Evan's name, it came out sounding like "Eyan." It's just cute how he yells Eyan, Eyan!
This morning I heard him yell out Evan's name with a distinct "v" sound.
I am sad because he's going to lose his baby voice and cute phrases before I know it, and there are some parts of him being my baby that I'm not ready to let go of just yet. (Peeing on the garage floor can go, but the sweet mispronunciations cannot.)
P.S. If Hudson starts saying "water" instead of "wager," it is going to break my heart!

New
Hudson did something new today. Something he has never done before. Something no one in our house has ever done before.
This morning Hudson peed on the garage floor right next to the car. Yes, peed in the garage.
I had gone out there to switch laundry, and Hudson followed me out there. Perfectly normal so far. The only strange thing was that he was a few feet away from me instead of inches from me like normal.
I was doing my thing pulling out shirts that needed to be hung, throwing socks and underwear into the dryer, and cursing the fact that that my "laundry room" is in the garage.
Suddenly Hudson tells me, "Mom, I pee right here." Huh?!!!
I start screaming and make a leap towards him. He doesn't even acknowledge me as he relieves himself all over the cement. I'm yelling at the top of my lungs for him to stop. He doesn't even know I'm there.
I was hesitant to get too close for fear of being peed on at 7 a.m. Hudson peed on Eric last week while on vacation. I'll have to share that story later. There wasn't much I could do except wait it out.
And wait. And wait.
It was morning pee and he had a lot of it.
I guess I should be happy that he is able to go all night without wetting the bed. However, I still don't trust him enough to let him go without a Pull-Up.
Once he was done, Hudson stared at me with those enormous eyes of his, as if he just realized his mother was a hopping yelling lunatic. I made him take paper towels and mop up his mess, which he was reluctant to do. Oh well little stinker. He did it. I calmed down.
The fun never stops. I just can't figure out why he would think peeing on the ground in the garage would be okay. He's never done it before. We've never encouraged him to pee in there. I don't get it. I'll never get it.

Morro Bay
Last Friday Eric had business in Morro Bay. Rough, I know! We went along and made it an overnight vacation.
While Eric was doing his business, the boys and I went looking for something to do in the gorgeous coastal town. We found a little park and hung out there for an hour or so. Then we went in search of candy and walked along the water.
Eric was done soon enough, so we were able to get lunch with him and hang at the beach for the rest of the day.
It was pure heaven hanging out in 60 degree weather. It was so pleasant, in fact, that I was pretty grouchy when we got back home to 90 degree temps. Ugh. I just hate hot weather.
Anyhow, I took a few photos at the park with my phone. The rest I'll have to wait for Eric to download off the good camera.
All the parks here have an ocean theme! Go figure!
I'd love to live in that house up on the hill. Cute little park, boats, and ocean view. Nice.
Boys posing on a whale's tail.
The amazing-ness of being able to play at a park and SEE the ocean. Jealous a bit? Yup.
I'll post more about our trip when I get more pics.

Don't Do It
When the directions on the contact lens solution says, "Don't rinse contacts with solution prior to placing in eyes," I guess I should NOT DO IT!
I use a new solution that bubbles up inside its special case overnight. I guess the enzyme bubbles aren't meant for delicate eyeballs. I guess there is a reason they say not to use the solution for rinsing.
The reason is that you can burn the crap out of your eyeball like I just did. Good Lord it hurts. I thought I was going to be blind in my left eye.
Now my eye just looks like I ran into a door. It is bloodshot and ringed with red from upper lash to lower lash. Stupid me. Guess I'll be wearing glasses today along with following the instructions on bottles.

Bees?
I spent the day with my mom today (thanks Mom!). We had a very nice day shopping, having lunch, and talking.
Mom bought Hudson a Buzz Lightyear toy. He loves it! He was so excited when I gave it to him. He can't quite say "Buzz," so he calls it his "Bees." It took me a few tries before I realized that he was using the word "bees" to refer to "Buzz."
Hudson and Bees.
Besides having a great day with my mom, I also ran two miles this morning. I am quite proud of myself.

Summer
Sorry for the lack of posting...again. We've just been doing ordinary stuff for the middle of July. That and trying to keep cool in triple digit heat. Yuck. Here are some of the things we've been up to.
-Swimming
-Eating ice cream
-cleaning (sort of)
-Playing with Lincoln Logs
-Going to the mall to stay cool
-Watching tv
-Playing games on the computer
-Summer school and daycare
-Going to Grandma's
-Playing with cousins
Other than going to Grandma's, there hasn't been much that has been blog-worthy to write about. Oh, my dishwasher broke yesterday, so that was fun washing an entire load of dishes by hand last night. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just dinner dishes, but the whole dishwasher was filled and ready to be washed. Good summer times.
I'll leave you with a picture of Hudson and Evan. Evan is now a great sleeper and usually falls asleep within minutes of us tucking him in. Hudson...not so much. Hudson will play in the playroom until one of us notices. Hudson ventures out to see what we are doing. Hudson climbs into the top drawer of his dresser to play with the radio and gets stuck. HUDSON!
Last night was no different except that Eric wasn't home. He had to attend a council meeting in Hanford to make sure technology was working. I was hand washing dishes. Hudson was refusing to sleep. I finally yelled loud enough at 10:30 that I guess he figured he'd better go to bed. Here is where I found him at 10:45.
I left Hudson there until Eric got home. Then Eric moved Hudson into his own bed. We know from experience that Hudson would twist and turn and wake Evan up in the night, and that wouldn't be pretty.
There you go. I don't want to say that our summer has been boring, because that's not the right word. It's just that we haven't done much. We've been relaxing!

Doctor
This morning, Hudson showed me that his beloved blankey has a hole in the corner.
Hudson: Mom, look at my blankey. It has a hole.
Me: Oh no! How did that happen?
Hudson: I don't know. It's broken. It needs to go to the doctor.
Hudson and his blanket went off to Linda's. This morning the hole was big enough for Hudson to fit his fist through. This evening, the hole is big enough for ME to fit my fist through. Yikes! We better figure out how to fix this hole before we are able to use his blankey as a hula hoop.
Anyone know how to fix a crocheted blanket?
