The Russo's

We got to see all our dads over the weekend. I didn't take any pictures until we were at church. Emerie had her birthday party on Saturday morning. It was a Frozen themed tea party where the girls dressed up as princesses. Gianna was very excited about going.   Leilynn even put a little makeup on Gianna.   Jetta and Gianna sipping their blue "tea". The cups were so little, they kept asking for more.   Gianna changed into another dress because the sleeves were itchy.   They played pin the nose on Olaf.  The girls had a good time and made pretty princesses.  While we were at the party, Josh took Hudson to Bass Pro and they had a fun day going on.   Dillon was in town for a week and we did Father's Day at my mom's house.  We celebrated his birthday since it was the next week. (kinda blurry)   I'm thankful to have Josh as a father to our kids and for all the things he does t...

I took Hudson for his 5 year check up last week and I didn't know, but there were a lot of routine tests he had to do. He did a vision and hearing test, blood work and urine sample. If I had known, I could have prepared him for the tests. He did really well though! He weighed 42 lbs (50%) and is 3'9.5" tall (90%). For the vision test, he sat in a booth with headphones and had to hit a button when he heard a sound. He looked so scared, just sitting there with no expression on his face.  For the vision test, he looked through a machine at pictures and say what he saw. He teared up a little for the blood work, but it was over quick. All of his test results were normal. Rocketkidz 2014  Hudson, Leilynn and Emerie did the rookies triathlon again this year. Hudson was nervous after we signed him up. He did that last year and did great, so we were sure he could do it again. Josh took off his training wheels a while back and that's what he was nervous ab...

We are kicking off summer with some fun activities. I have been looking on Pinterest for some ideas to keep the kids busy. Hudson already has said he is bored! It might be a long summer... We went to the splash park, which they always enjoy. I think we will try out some of the others around this summer too.   Grace and Kaden came over to play. They all love digging in the dirt and had an assembly line going. They rode the Jeep, four wheeler, played on the swings and were real dirty by the end of the afternoon. Everyone was clean and watching a show together   We spent Memorial Day at Nana & Papa's house. The kids got to swim in the big pool. Hudson is doing well with swimming under water and a little bit without floaties. Gianna tried the regular floaties, but she still gets water in her mouth. Hopefully Josh will put our pool up soon at home.   Later in the day, they did a little fishing. All the kids c...
