Bowling

Hunter was able to go bowling for the first time. He loved it!! He was pretty good, getting a 58 his first game! We'll have to go again soon!

Baby Girl

I got a new picture of Baby Girl. Erik and I think she looks like Hunter, but we'll have to wait a few more months to find out for sure.

The Insy Winsy Spider

So my brother reminded me that I hadn't posted any videos lately so here is the most recent one we have. We took it on Sunday, so I hope that's recent enough. If you can't tell this is Hunter's rendition of Insy Winsy Spider. Just listen and you can kinda hear a few familiar phrases. This is for you Garrett!!

Planting and cooling off

Yesterday Hunter and I had fun planting some flowers in some pots. Hunter helped me pick out the flowers, and I think he did a great job. He helped me dig in the dirt and arrange them in the pots.

When we were done and watering the flowers Hunter took over the hose and had a blast spraying himself and me with the water. Luckily he let me switch the hose so it was just spraying mist. Daddy came home shortly after and Hunter started spraying him too.

Redwoods

Since Erik had a week off of school, we decided to make the most of our time and go camping in one of the state parks up north. We picked out where we wanted to stay and spent the 4 hours in the car to get there. Hunter was a happy traveler as always and loved having the movies in the car. (Thanks to my dad!!) We stopped about an hour away from our camp site at a drive through tree.
Hunter loved carrying sticks around. It seemed he always had one in his hands. He hit everything he could with them.


We made it to our campground just before the rangers left and were able to buy some fire wood. The only thing is the firewood was wet. Erik had a hard time starting the fire, but with the use of about half of one of his notebooks he was able to get a fire started. Here is a picture of our little campsite. We want to go back, so if anyone would like to join us, let us know when you can go!


We got Hunter his own little camp chair. He loved it and even when we got home he was asking for it.

I had made tin foil dinners for us, but they were taking forever to cook. Hunter was starving and it was a good thing I packed the hot dogs. Hunter helped Erik cook them and loved every minute.


Here they are in a "clubhouse" that Hunter found. He loved to explore.


This tree is 346 feet tall and over 40 feet all the way around. Looking up you couldn't see the top. I was amazed at how tall all these trees were. There were many we found that were hollow and Hunter loved to go inside with daddy.

Happy Belated Easter!

This Easter and the weeks following have flown by and that's why it's taken me so long to update. We had a blast on Easter at the annual Easter egg hunt my grandma saves for all year long. She picks up all the spare change she can find and saves it all year long. Instead of candy in the Easter eggs, we get money!! Hunter walked away with a little over $9!! We sure had a great day!

Trials and Tribulations

Amanda and I are going through a rough time right now. There are a lot of stresses in our lives. I'm not sure where life will lead us, but I just wanted to express my appreciation for my best friend, and remind her how much she has meant and does mean to me.
























p.s. forgive the bad spacing. I have no idea what I'm doing.
