I was just reminded of how sometimes I tell my children very obvious things that they already know... Our shower is in the basement, and I told Cooper "go downstairs, wash fast and get dressed." He then asked me, "Why would I wash slow and walk back upstairs naked?" Good question, Cooper, I guess you know what you're doing. :)

If you want to be happy for a day - go fishing.
If you want to be happy for a month - get married.
If you want to be happy for a year - inherit a fortune.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime - help others."

Hudson's Quote of the Day

Today we were hanging out in the family room and the kid's were playing with toys when Hudson announced "I hate my life...it's too spankable!" I'm not sure where this came from, considering it's actually been a very long time since his life has been spankable. Oh, well, who knows how his sweet little brain works. :)

The Kids

What a miracle to actually get a good picture of all four at the same time. My patience was definitely tested trying to get a good one! I discovered the power of prayer before this one (I'm serious).
