Since the arrival of our little Monroe it's been crazy trying to keep up with all three of my kids. I had a goal this year to take more personal photos of my family and document our lives better. I've been doing just that, but have had hardly an extra minute to blog all the fun events and craziness here at the Lyon household!
So, my kids have been a bit on the absent side of my blog, more than I'd like them to be. I want to include more personal posts in between my wedding/portrait posts. Here are some photos I took of my kids on a random day a few weeks ago while Justin was away at Coachella.
I'm truly in-love with each one of my kids, their personalities just keep blooming and I'm trying to enjoy every minute of their childhood before it passes right by me!
Bought these bunny ears at the $1 bin at Target! I think they're hilarious on Monroe!
Yes....I do let my kids eat Otter Pops in the bathtub!

One of my favorite portraits of Monroe to date! LOVE her little dimple on her cheek below her left eye!
Thanks for humoring my love for my kids and letting me gush all over them:)

I always like to a big blogpost of my kids for their birthdays, but I've recently decided to incorporate something different. I've decided to do a blogpost featuring a year in the life of each one of my kids every time they have a birthday because they change SO much in just one year! It's really fun to see the difference that takes place in my kids in just one year! So here you have it, a year in the life of Hudson...age 6 to 7!
Hudson on his 7th birthday! April 2012
Hudson on his 6th birthday! April 2011. Can you see the difference?! I'll also say that he's grown over 4 inches since his 6 birthday!
May 2011
June 2011
July 2011
August 2011
September 2011
He learned how to ride a bike! September 2011
Played some soccer!
Had another sibling to love and watch over! He's REALLY a great big brother! It makes me so happy to watch him be so loving to Sloan & Monroe, I am really thankful to have him be the oldest of my kids, he's such a good helper to me and to Justin.
October 2011 Justin helped the boys make cardboard robots out of our recycling.
Halloween & Sloan's birthday party October 2011. Hudson and Grace.
November 2011 Our little family.
December 2011
January 2012 played some basketball, he was really fun to watch!
February 2012, he lost his two front teeth! I LOVE seeing his toothless grin:)
March 2012 Hudson and Charlie
March 2012 He loves to play baseball! Go Giants!
April 2012 He really likes to pick out his own clothes....can you tell?! Also, he's my little pirate. Because of his amblyopia in his left eye he gets to be a pirate for two hours each day to strengthen his weak eye. I think it's super adorable and handsome! :) 
Still an amazing older brother, Monroe ADORES him, she can't get enough of her silly brother!
My three kids!
LOVE this shot of him! Says SO much about his personality! What a great kid!
I can brag about him because he's mine...what a stud!
Sloan is is ultimate best friend and pal! So glad these boys have each other!
Hudson's birthday party:The one thing he really wanted to do was to have a Beyblade battle, it was pretty intense and awesome!
Hudson also wanted to have an Aquabats! themed birthday party. Since Justin is co-producing the new Aquabats Super Show! he was able to get a bunch of hats and mask goggles for the all the little boys at the party, they had a blast!
Happy 7th birthday to my wonderful little/big boy Hudson! Daddy and I are so humbled and honored to be your parents! We can't wait to see what the next year of your life will be like! Love you dude!

Oh, what a wonderful family! Blessings to your wee (and not so wee) ones! May your hearts be always merry and loving! (I couldn't help but notice Hudson's eyeglasses frames - one of our boys damaged his frames and we're searching for new ones - I think Hudson's would be perfect - any ideas where to get them from? Thank you so much, sorry for being so nosy :P )

I was wondering more about your son's Aquabats themed party, my son loves the Aquabats theme for his Birthday party and I am having a hard time finding any Aquabats stuff. Where did you find your stuff at?
