Rainy Day...

What to do on a rainy day... How about paint a bird house! :)  Hunter thought we needed a bird house for the backyard, so yesterday we went to Michaels and picked one out.  I was excited to get a bird house because it makes me think about my grandma, Caw-Caw.  She used to have this red bird house out in her backyard and we would go out and look inside it all the time.  She would say, "Are those birds watching the Flintstones again?"  I miss my Caw-Caw so much!!  Anyway... maybe our birds will be watching tv in their house one day! :)

Super excited to start painting!  He's got his paint shirt on and everything! :)


He mixed a few colors and made this really yucky poop colored color... so he painted that color on the bottom! 

Hunter painting away! 


When he was done I told him to hold it up by his face so I could get a picture... well he wouldn't move it so I could see his face!  He didn't understand! :)  Ohh well... now Daddy needs to find a way to hang it! 


"I'm done!"


This morning all Hunter wanted to do was hold his sister!  He is the BEST big brother!! 


Maggie LOVES her toes!!  And big news...  NO MORE SLEEPING IN HER SWING!!!  
Yes that is right!  She has been sleeping in her bed!!!  Yay!  For those of you who didn't know... Maggie has been sleeping in her swing every night since she moved out of our room.  She just would not sleep in a bed!  We kept Logan on Wednesday and Julie was telling me just how well he was doing in his bed and I think Maggie overheard her or something.  Or maybe Logan just told her how great it is to sleep in a bed.  I don't know, but starting on Wednesday night she has been sleeping in her bed!!!  Yay!!  I'm so proud of you, Maggie Moe!  Thank you, Jesus!!!

 
One last picture of the greatest kids ever!!!  Hunter wants to hold Maggie ALL the time!  And Maggie LOVES it!  So sweet!!  We are so blessed!!!

Happy Birthday Coach!!!

Yesterday was Coach's birthday!  Hunter was excited to tell him happy birthday.  He kept asking me if Coach was going to get to blow out lots of candles.  :)  He is really excited about blowing out candles at his party.

When my parents were in town last weekend we celebrated Coach's birthday!  Hunter thought we had to have balloons and decorations for "Coach's party".  So we decorated a little bit.  Hunter even painted a Happy B-day sign for Coach.  I think Hunter was more excited than Coach!
Hunter helped me bake some cupcakes.  Yummy!  Hunter was super excited to bring Coach his cupcake with a candle on top! :)


Then he passed out cupcakes to everyone else! 

Happy Birthday Coach!!!


We love you!!!


Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!  I love you so much!  You are the BEST! :)

Pizza Party

Hunter's has a new love...


Yep!  He LOVES Pizza Party!  This was my favorite game when I was little.  Coach reminded me of it this weekend so I pulled it out of the closet this morning and... it was a hit!  He wants to play it over and over again!  Yay!!  It's an oldie but goodie! They just don't make 'em like the used to! :)

Dedication Sunday :)


My sweet Maggie Rose was dedicated at church this Sunday.  Yes, we made it on time!!!  Hooray!  We were even a little early!  And Ben and I really like the service at 8:10.

The service was wonderful!  We are so blessed.  They prepared a slide show as we walked down to the front.  We had sent in a few pic of our sweet girl.  My Mom came and went down the the front with us. (My Dad stayed home with Hunter since he was sleeping so well.)  I don't know what I was thinking, but I forgot my camera!  Not to fear our sweet friend from life group had hers in her purse and took a few pictures!  Thank you Mindy! :)  Two couples from out life group group came down and prayed with us.  I was honored that they came down for sweet Maggie.  Then pastor David prayed over Maggie and Ben and I.  God is so good!  I can't believe he would pick us to be Maggie's Mommy and Daddy.  We are so blessed with such a sweet little girl.  I pray that we will hear the Lord guide us in raising her.  I pray that she will have a heart for our Savior and will live a life devoted to Him.  Thank you Lord for blessing us with our precious Maggie!  


Maggie in her Easter dress! :)  Those are little turtles on the dress.  


Precious! 


And yes, we are putting EVERYTHING in our mouth! :)

I know I promised pictures of our Hunter-man too in his Easter clothes, but it just didn't happen.  He did not want to put them on and I didn't want to make him.  I'm sure I'll talk him into... hopefully!

Friday!!!


Hooray!  It's Friday!!!  Yay for the weekend and Daddy being home!

We are having a great day!  It's beautiful outside and we can't wait to play!  Last night was a rough night but it is turning out to be a super, great day!  We missed our play date this morning with "Efan".  We were super sad!! :(  But both kids slept until 9 this morning!!!  Mommy soooo needed that! :)  Thank you Lord!  And sweet Amanda and Baby Owen came to visit!  So cute!! :)  We love you guys!  Thanks for coming over!

Now its on to naps!  Maggie is sweetly sleeping in her swing and Hunter is watching a Bug's Life.  I have a million things to do and here I am on the computer.  Oops! :)



I wanted to tell everyone Hunter's new saying.  Now when people leave he says, "Be careful and Merry Easter!" :)  Too cute!!!  I meant to write that in the Easter post but I forgot and just thought about it!  



And I got an email yesterday and guess what... Maggie's dedication has been changed from the 11:20 service to the... are you ready???  8:10 in the morning!!!!! ahhh oh know!!  Can we do it?  Jennings are not morning people!  But we can do it!  I am thinking positive thoughts and also thinking about the Sunday afternoon nap that we will ALL be taking!  :)


Don't you love the very random pics!?! :)  Have a great weekend!  More pictures in our Easter/Dedication outfits to come!!

Easter!

We are so blessed!!  Sometimes it is hard to believe that God would send down his only Son to die for me... okay maybe most of the time it is hard to believe.  But it is true.  And he did.  And he died a very, very painful death on the cross for me and you!  Then he came back to life!!  What?  I know!  It's amazing!!!  And He is alive today!  Lord, thank you for saving me!  And thank you for giving me 2 wonderful kids to demonstrate your love!  

We spent Easter in Gainesville this year and had a great time!  Here are some pictures from the trip and I'll let you know about the Easter bunny too...



My sweet Hunter-man drinking some oj on the "squares" with Momma.  


Such a sweet boy!!!! 


So Saturday morning my old church had an egg hunt at this park in downtown Gainesville, however it was not at the park.  It was across the street from the park in front of the Depot.  So we were late.  :(  I was going to be super sad for Hunter because all the eggs had already been found... until Krystle and Jana noticed us.  They took a few eggs from their kids basket and hid them just for Hunter!  THANK YOU Krystle and Jana!!!  Ya'll are amazing! :)


Doesn't he look handsome and like a big boy!!??


Hunter and the Easter Bunny :)


After we found some eggs Hunter told this very nice lady (a complete stranger to him) "The Easter bunny is gonna hop to Honey's house and hide these eggs for me."  :)  He was a little excited!!! 


Mag Pie and Honey!  For some reason we never have many pictures of the kids with Honey.  I'm glad we got a good pic! (And doesn't lil Maggie look cute!)


Hunter and Avery (I don't think he was picking his nose, but he could have been)  This was the only good picture of these 2 cutes!

So Saturday night we met most of the family at Babe's in Sanger for dinner.  We had such a great time!  It was so good to see everyone!!!  Hunter got to meet Avery for the first time.  Avery is a few months younger than him and boy did they hit it off!  They were dancing, running, singing and playing ring around the rosie everywhere!  It was so cute!  I wish we would have had the camera earlier!  

At Babe's they have this huge chicken outside but there is a sign that says, "don't sit on the chicken".  Hunter couldn't stop talking about it!  He really wanted to sit on that chicken.  Hunter ordered a drink so he got a Babe's cup to take home and on the cup there was a chicken.  :)  Hunter kept saying (in his deep, serious voice) "See right there on that chicken?  It says Do Not Sit."  It was so funny!  


Hunter had to give Grammy Great and Avery a kiss when we left. 


When we got back from Babe's we colored some eggs.  This was Hunter's first time coloring eggs and he really liked it.  He did a really good job not splashing the dye when dropping in the eggs.  
Here he goes...  He was so proud of his eggs!


Finally Easter morning!  The Easter bunny did hop all the way to Honey's house!!


He was so serious looking for those eggs!  :)


Maggie found an egg, too! 

He had such a great time looking for eggs!  He really got into it this year.  Last year we were begging him to pick up eggs and this year he wouldn't let us touch them!  :)  

Now for the sad part... after finding eggs we got all dressed up and went to church, however we did not take pictures. :(  I know I am SUPER sad!!!  The kids looked so cute!  Don't worry... this Sunday Maggie is being dedicated to the church so we are ALL wearing our Easter outfits.  I WILL get pictures and post them!  Warning... Hunter looks super handsome and looks nothing like a baby and Maggie is just precious!  :( 



After lunch we rushed to the egg hunt in downtown Lindsay.  


And we played some...


Hunter loved the teter-toter :)  I liked it because I got a leg work out! :)

Ohh... and after the Lindsay hunt Hunter told us that the Easter bunny is going to go and hang out with Santa Claus.  :)  Where does he get this stuff!  It sounds right!

We ended the day with a little confetti eggs...


Hunter and Daddy getting each other at the same time!


Hunter getting Coach!


Hunter getting himself! :)

We had a great time!  Next year Maggie will be in on the fun of finding eggs.  Watch out Hunter! :)
