March Madness

So first off, speaking of March Madness, my bracket is not doing half bad.  I picked lots of winning teams (including number 15 Norfolk) and now I have two of the four teams in the final four.  My pick for the championship is Louisville and Kentucky with Kentucky taking it all.  Hopefully I picked a winner!  And the best part is that my bracket is beating Kolby's! 

Another exciting thing in our house was playing with peanut butter playdough.  Kolby has been busy at the farm so Hudson and I have had a lot of free time together.  I have been trying to find fun things for us to do that will teach him a little something.  Besides reading books and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (his favorite), I decided to make peanut butter playdough.  At first he just ate it.  However, after a second he played in it using his measuring cups and cars.  It was something easy and fun to do.  Here is my recipe in case you ever want to make it too!

         -1 cup peanut butter
        - 1 cup light karo syrup
         - 1 1/4 cups powdered milk
        - 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
                                      
                              Mix it all together (the kitchenaid works best) and have fun!



Another time-passing activity we did was play in Hudson's monkey tunnel.  We set it up in the living room and he had a blast!




Also last week Kolby, Hudson, and I went to the aquarium in Salt Lake.  Hudson loves fish tanks so we thought this would be a fun place to take him.  He really liked it!  And we did too!  There are lots of things to see there from fish to otters to stingrays and much more.  I recommend it to everyone! 



I have saved the best and most exciting thing for last....... Hudson is walking!  He started a few days ago when we played outside and he had shorts on.  It hurt him to crawl on the sidewalk so he started bear crawling and eventually stood up and took off.  He is still a little wobbly but is getting better every day.  We are so proud of him!  Happy Monday everyone!
