Boating

As promised here is some footage of us on the boat. Fun in the sun!! Hunter doesn't particularly care for his life jacket but he does love watching the water. Philip and I are both wakeboarding on the video too.

Where's Hunter??

Well I am going to plant a garden this year and I decided to try the square foot gardening method. So I needed to get all of the supplies to build the boxes and the mixture for the soil. Kayla, my friend from college, came down for memorial day weekend and she came with Hunter and I to get the materials. It was taking a little while for Home Depot to give me a quote on all the lumber so Kayla took Hunter and my camera around the store which turned into a priceless photo op.

Hmmm.....where should I take my picture??


Maybe in the washer!! (If this isn't the cutest picture! Kayla is so creative!)


Maybe in the fake kitchens.....I couldn't find anything to eat...

So I decided to take a shower.....(by this time people were staring :-)

And finally in the buckets....

Kayla and I had a ton of fun!!

Just Catching Up....

Here are some pictures of the last couple of months. I have more to add but this will have to do for now. I will post a video of us on the boat tomorrow.

After church on Sunday I took Hunter outside because it was so nice outside. FINALLY! I just thought he looked adorable.

This picture below just melts my heart.

Hunter loves his baths and afterwards he gets excited for his massage. As you can see from the picture.

This is me after I had just finished my two online classes. Thank goodness that is over....for now. Lifelong learning you gotta love it.

The following pictures are of Hunter and Philip playing around in a new tractor.

Hunter riding shotgun :-)

The above picture is one of my favorites. We will have to get one on a Case IH too!

This video is of Hunter and Daddy preparing the field to plant. Hunter loves riding in tractors. It runs in his blood. He comes from generations of farmers on both my side and Philip's.

St, Patrick's Day

This is the holiday that Philip waits for all year long. It is his favorite because his heritage stems from Ireland. He wants to go on a vacation there someday. First thing when I woke up I find that my toilet water is dyed green.....then on to the fridge the milk is green too. Philip dyed everything he could green. It was really funny. So I got into it too. Here are the pictures.

Our Irish Family Photo!

I love this onesie. It says Kiss me I'm Irish. I kissed him all day long.

Here is my banana cream pie. Since the milk was already dyed green the pudding cooked up green. Then I made whipped cream and dyed it green. It was really good with an Irish flare.

Here is Philip making his green french toast. It was super good. I love my Irish hubbie!!

Ok this wasn't on St. Patrick's Day but I just thought it was sooooo cute. I have to get little Hunter a ball cap of his own. I can't believe he is almost 6 months old!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! and Happy Birthday Poppi!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Carrots

This is Hunter eating his carrots. HE LOVED THEM!!

He would reach and grab our hands to pull them into his mouth. He ate the whole jar in under 5 min!!

Summing up the last couple months...

Here are some pictures of the last couple of months.
Hunter is now 5 1/2 months old. When he went in for his shots this month he weighed 15lbs (50th percentile) and 26in long (90th percentile). He reaches to me now, I LOVE IT!! We just love him more and more each day. Enjoy the pictures.

Hunter holds his bottle at the bottom. It is so cute.

This is how Hunter looks at me when I sing to him. I think it is so cute that he smiles at my voice. He reaches to me too so he can dance with me.

This is Hunter's favorite book. He is teething now so he eats it all the time.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Hunter has this new exersaucer toy (THANK YOU KRISHELE!!) He absolutely loves it!! But in this picture he is holding on for dear life because I am spinning the toy around.

This is Hunter looking at his favorite toy.

Grammy got Hunter all 26 baby einstein DVD's. Hunter's favorite is Baby MacDonald. It is all about farming (go figure, farming must run in his blood :-)) He will watch the whole video!! He loves baby einstein.

Kayla came for a visit. We had so much fun!!

One day when I brought Hunter in from the car I noticed that he was sucking on his car seat toy. It must have swung into his mouth and he just started sucking!! It was so cute.

Hunter loves to play with my hair!! He has quite a grip, so sometimes it is not so cute!!

Hunter had his first spoon fed rice cereal. He loved all of it. He would start crying if I didn't shovel it in fast enough!!

Beauty (our dog) and Hunter are good friends. Beauty is great with Hunter.

Tara let us borrow this Boppy seat. Hunter likes to sit up and look around.

Daddy loves to put his hat on Hunter. Isn't this adorable!!

Oh and my favorite.....Daddy Day Spa. Hunter loves his massages.

This is a picture of a comedian Brian Regan. Philip and I went to his show. He is sooooo hilarious and he is a very clean comedian!! Philip and I laughed for two hours straight!! Our bodies hurt so bad because we had laughed so much. If any of you get a chance to see him live, jump at it!!

Christmas in Illinois

I know...I know Christmas was a long time ago but I didn't post any pictures and I wanted you all to see my awesome family. We had alot of fun while I was home and they just couldn't get enough of little Hunter.

What is that on the miniature forklift?? A sandwich!! This is the present we got for my little brother Beau.
