First Day Of School 2nd Grade

Doug and Martin 2nd Grade

Martin has been so excited for school to start and today is the day!
Last year he asked for me to wait until the bell rang before I left today he drop his backpack, found a friend and took off without so much as a goodbye.
Roxie and Zoey sat by the door with sad faces as I took Martin to school wanting him to come back and play.  Roxie even announced "I don't know what to do with myself if Martin isn't around hes my best friend."  I have told her yet that Madeline her best friend started kindergarten this year and we won't have anymore morning play dates.
Roxie starts Preschool in an month and I am counting down the days with excitement.

Quite 4th of July

With a new baby and temperatures above 112 we decided to have a quite 4th of July at the Wimmers with swimming, Nations Firework show on PBS and our own little firework show.  I felt bad for Qatar because we didn't do the normal 4th of July activities but he seem to roll with the punches.

Quite morning

First Smile

He had a big full mouth grin but the camera was too slow to capture it.  He has been smiling for several days at everyone and I must say it was the week for it too.  Everyone seemed to need his smiles!
Church on Sunday someone asked to hold him and when I passed him off they seemed so shock. 
Hudson gets loved so much at church.  I can barely make it though the door some days without someone wanting to hold him, snuggle with him and pinch his cheeks.  He knows he is truly loved not just by out family but by the ward family.
