Making snow angels in the sand...

I'm telling ya, this kid is so funny. I was doing laundry on Sunday and Hunter was outside playing in the sandbox. I went to check on him and I found him doing this... I am so glad he didn't see or hear me because it was a priceless photo op...

By the way if you are wondering about the undies... Hunter doesn't like to get dirty so he always strips down to his undies to play in the sand (only at home of course) unless he has Spidy undies on, then he tries to take those off too so he doesn't get Spiderman dirty??? We were in luck he was wearing Sponge Bob... :)



Look at the grin on that face!

Makin my Mommy pancakes

Hunter wanted to make pancakes for me all by himself on Sunday morning. He is getting pretty good at finding all of he ingredients, measuring supplies, and utensils that I use to make pancakes. He loves to help me cook and he loves my homemade breakfasts. Yummo!!! He did a great job. (Sunday May 17, 2009)

Mother's Day 2009

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mommy's that I know!

Mother's Day was, well interesting... but an adventure, and very special.

Hunter surprised me with a "Very Important Present" however he had to go potty SO bad that he didn't have time to wait for me to open it, he had to do open it himself. And behold it was a very important present. He made a plaster hand print. I thought that I would have to wait a few more years to get one of those but his sitter (Dulce) made these with the kids... Thank you Dulce! It truly is precious. Hunter even painted his name on the back (H). He was very proud of his work.


Hunter took a picture, and not a very flattering one, of his "very special Mommy"...

Hunter also picked me out a Mommy bracelet. This was also such a cute moment. We were at the store and Hunter came up to me with something behind his back and asked if he could have some dollars to buy something for me for Mother's Day. I gave him some money and he paid for it, and wrapped it all by himself. I wasn't able to get a picture of what it looked like wrapped because Hunter had to unwrap this too, but he used so much tape I wasn't sure if he was going to be able to open it... oh ye of little faith... He did just fine!

And now the exhausting conclusion to this Mother's Day 2009...

I heard on the radio that it was Mommy & me at the zoo. Well that sounds like a great idea! not so much... By the time I rounded up the troops (sister's and their families) it was kind of late, and it turns out that I missed most of the advertisement for this wonderful day at the zoo. Turns out a radio station had a coupon to get Mom's in for 98 cents. Super!!! So EVERY MOTHER IN THE FREE WORLD WAS THERE! Holy Moley... No parking for miles and I just about had a break down so I called the girls and told them to forget it. Que the crying children... So we met up at This is the Place. So kids crying, parents trying desperately to think of something else to do on a Sunday, and Hunter running away because this isn't fair, Que the Train... Yay!!! So we went on a fun little train ride. Kids calm, and a little chilly, but calm and smiling!!!

Hunter running away...

Hunter coming back (from running away) to listen to mom's alternative to the zoo. Thank goodness I would have missed him terribly....

Awww... look at those happy faces...

Doo Doo and Tan Tan

Okay so we did make it to the zoo after all (and yes there was still 8 million people there) has anyone ever had to wait in line to go through the monkey habitat? Well, we did, that is how crazy it was. But everything was fine Hunter got ice cream, and he got to see the alligators, or were the crocodiles?, regardless he was one happy, tired boy and I got a few more precious memories.

Thanks girls for putting up with Hunter's grumpy mom.... Happy Mother's Day!

My funny little boy

Every day Hunter makes me laugh. I left him alone for a minute while he was getting ready for bath time. I had asked him to get undressed while I got him a towel. And this first picture is how I found him (sitting on the counter) making faces in the mirror... How can you not love this boy?







Testing out his dive gear. That snorkel barley fits in his mouth. I was afraid I'd have to have it surgically removed.

All done!!!
