Need Another Hand

Happy birthday to my Jude Lincoln!
He's now 6 and that means that we need to add another hand when showing how old he is (you know 5 fingers plus 1 additional?).

We had a party for him on Thursday.

But first, my little man ran a lollipop race in Altoona and although there were no winners, I'll let you come to your own conclusions from the photo below!

A few more shots of Jude getting 'pumped up' for his race.

We had a picnic style lunch for him around 1pm. Family and friends arrived. We ate, walked around outside, and had some cake. Oh, yes, the cake!! The highlight of every Hudkins birthday party. Let me reveal:

Grammy Linda did not disappoint! Jude wanted a mustache cake. the coolest thing about this cake was the inside was like a tie-dye cake. I didn't get a photo of it, but trust me, it was awesome.

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate and thanks for bringing Jude goodies!

Up next: Wrapping up birthday week with a day in Pittsburgh!

Birthday Week!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Amy. 

This is my blog I promised I'd maintain.

I really want to blog more often, life just gets in the way.

So here we are in July and guess who turns 6 in two days? My little buddy Jude Lincoln :0

Love that kiddo.

The good of having a birthday on the 4th of July is you'll always get fireworks. The bad is that it's a busy time of year for everyone and trying to put a party together is stinky. So we're turning his birthDAY into a birthWEEk celebration.

We kicked it off last evening with a trip to 5 Below, Barnes and Noble, The Meadows for ice cream, and a sleepover for the boys at Ga-Ga and Pop's.

Today might include a carnival visit.

Thursday Jude will run the Lollipop race in Altoona and then we'll have family picnic/party.

Friday we're heading to the Carnegie Science Center - hopefully I'll actually blog about that :)
