Let it Snow!

It snowed here a couple of weeks ago and Hunter had a blast playing in it. Nothing really stuck, but it was coming down pretty hard.

We've been...

Playing some fun computer games on sesamestreet.com

Getting some BIG mosquitos. Check out the size of that thing!! Gross!!! This was the biggest mosquito I've ever seen!

Enjoying a new sleeping bag. We were going to all go camping with some friends of ours, but the rain decided to come, so hopefully we will get to reschedule soon!

Doing funny things while we take a nap...like taking off your pants and putting them on your head before you fall asleep

And falling asleep while talking to Mommy in the middle of the living room

Halloween 09

A little late getting these up....

Hunter the dinosaur. These are the only two pictures I got of him the whole night!

I actually wore a costume this year!

Pumpkin Patch

We went back to the same pumpkin patch we did last year and Hunter had so much fun. The kangaroo wasn't there, but we did get to see lots of other animals.

Big Boy Bike

I got Hunter a big boy bike at a garage sale this weekend for 10 bucks! He loves it!! He's really good at riding it and we've been out riding everyday since we got it.

It's a....

BOY!!!

We are so excited to be blessed with another baby boy in February! Now all we have to do is agree on a name....

We're Back!

So, we FINALLY got internet yesterday at the house! WAHOOOO!!!! Now I can get back to keeping up with this blog...Here's a quick re-cap of our summer...

July was spent trying to pack up the house and move to our new house. We did spend a fun July 4th with family and great friends who we miss very much back in our old neighborhood.

In August we took our vacation up to Ingram to the river to visit Meena and PaPa. We had a blast spending time with such good friends and family!

Hours were spent jumping off the raft

Of course you have to have smores!

And take naps down by the river

And drive the new tractor

And be silly hanging out on the river

And take a family photo

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

We are so excited to say that Hunter will be a big brother in February!!! He is super excited about it and keeps telling us not to play rough with him because he has a baby sister in his tummy. We don't know yet what we're having, but according to Hunter, it's a girl. :)

Also, other big news is that we bought ourselves a new house and moved 2 weeks ago. The move totally wiped me out (but I didn't have to move any boxes!)

On a sad note, our computer has crashed beyond repair :( I will have to post pictures as soon as I can!

Party Time!!

Our little man turned 3 years old on Sunday. Saturday we had a birthday party with all our friends. Hunter wanted a splash party...ask and you shall receive. It was plenty hot outside for the adults, but the kids stayed nice and cool in all the water fun.

We had a way cool water slide...

plenty of water guns...

and a pool to play in.

Matagorda Bay

HI! From Matagorda Bay! We went with our good friends and neighbors to spend a weekend at the beach. The kids had a blast together. They were so excited to get to sleep in the camper. We all had fun running in the water, finding shells, and building sand castles. The guys went fishing most of the time and finally did catch us some dinner!

Hunter and Gracie playing in the sand

A favorite: Running into the water

Finally! some dinner!

And just a cute random picture. Hunter found this old Burger King crown of mine and wore it ALL DAY

Picture Update

Hunter and Gracie really enjoyed the new slip-n-slide

We went to pick strawberries and flowers on Mother's Day at King's Orchard

Like father, like son. Liam and Hunter (and Jackson and Lee) would "get the bad guys" all day if we let them!

Hunter LOVED swimming in this pool at the Spry's this weekend!

SURPRISE!

On Sunday Lee turned the big 3-0! I couldn't just stand by and watch it happen so, since he's very anti-birthday party, I decided to throw him a surprise party. It was SO hard to keep this a secret all month long. I couldn't have done it without the help of all our family and friends! He was totally surprised when he got home on Saturday from fishing, YEAH!!!! With him there it was time for the fun...

The story of the Sumo suits...Ever since I was pregnant with Hunter he's been saying he wants to get these so we can fight, so I thought what better time than now?! The company thew me a loop though and asked if they could be delivered on Friday instead of Saturday....ummm...NO they can't! Well, they ended up being delivered to my in-laws and LEE WAS OVER THERE WHEN THEY GOT DELIVERED!!!! He asked his mom if she ordered them, she said yes, and then Lee left...no questions asked! WHEW!!! That was a close one....anyway, back to the fighting, I'm sure Lee thought he's win, but I had other plans and guess who won....

Yes, that is me. I won! I won! I won!

Maggie begging not to get thrown down (I don't think it worked) Maggie had the perfect game plan...wait until he's right in front of you and then move out of the way...

so this happens!

I think this is when she won too!

Rachel won too. You can check out their pictures and a video on their blog. (The Mansell Family)

Next up Brent and Elizabeth...it's not what it looks like...of course she won too!

Lee keeps saying he's got 2 years to plan something for me...should I be worried???
