Maggie and Logan sittin in a tree...

Well... Maggie got her first kiss today.  Yes, you read correctly!  Logan was over today and they were happily playing on the floor when all of a sudden... Logan, with both hands, grabbed Maggie's face and brought her close and kissed her!!!  I am not kidding!  It was too cute!  

While I was keeping Logan and Mags, Hunter went with Honey to see...

He LOVED it!!!  He has really been into Sesame Street lately.  He is all about his numbers and letters.  In fact the other day Ben was trying to get Hunter to sleep when he said, "Daddy I'm gonna be a football player when I get big and I'm gonna be number 7."  When Ben asked why number 7 he said, "Because it's the number of the day!"  He had so much fun!  I asked him who he liked best and of course he said...

Elmo!!!  He then told me my favorite character was Grover and Ben's was Oscar.  Maggie's favorite is Abby.  By the way you need to ask Hunter to say Abby's whole name!  It is too cute!  

Hunter also got an awesome gift today.  He got a new picnic table from Nana and Grumpy!!!! Yay!!!  We are so excited!!  He had to eat lunch and dinner at it!  We tried to get a picture of Hunter at the table at lunch but... well he was in need of a nap!  So I'll get one tomorrow! :)  Thank you Nana and Grumpy!  And thank you Honey for taking Hunter to see Sesame Street Live!! 

Sorry for the random post today, but at least I posted something!  :)

Monday, Monday... lala lalala

Yay for Monday!  Hunter wrote the letter "H" for the very first time!  He was so excited!  He kept saying, "H for Hunter and H for Honey".  He wanted to make a "C" for Coach, "N" for Nana and "G" for Grumpy but after he watched me "draw" it he decided he would stick with "H" for now.  

He writes it sideways but hey... he can do it! =)

Not the best smile, but you can see the "H"! 

Maggie also had a big day!  She has been eating real food for a while now, but she has been sitting in her bumbo when I feed her.  Well Monday I finally cleaned the high chair!  She loved sitting at the table!  She looks so tiny in such a big chair.

Sweet Mag Pie! 

Playing with her sippy cup.  =)

What a great day!!  I am so thankful I am home and able to see all these new things the kids are doing!  Thank you, Lord for allowing me to stay home!!  And thank you Ben for working sooo hard for our family!!! I love you so much!

Fun in the Sun Saturday!

We had the BEST Saturday we have had in a long time yesterday!  We were blessed to keep 2 very sweet boys all day.  Hunter was in heaven!  We had gotten Hunter a pool for his party and just for the summer, so we tried it out!  We had so much fun watching the boys play!  Here are some pictures of our super fun in the sun day...

They couldn't wait to get in... but it was sooo cold!  We were trying to talk them into waiting just a little bit to let the sun warm it up some but as you can see they were already a little wet... :)

So in they went! 

Ben was trying to get them to all smile at the camera, but all they wanted to do was play!  I don't blame them! :)  JD (the sweet boy on the right) was "diving"in the pool.  That is why his hand are like that! :)

Just playin...

Say Cheese!!! 

He was loving every minute of it!!

Kade trying to float on his belly on the beach ball! :) So funny!

Having fun! 

On to the slip-n-slide!!!  Kade and Hunter watched as the pro did it!

Go JD!!!! 

Yay JD!!  He was the only one to really slide down it the right way.  Ben ended up sliding all the boys down it a few times.  :)  By the way... slip-n-slides are a lot smaller than what I remember.  :) Or maybe I'm just a lot bigger! 

Here is Hunter running along side the slip-n-slide.  If the water was on he did not want to be on it.  If we had the water off he would play! :)

While the boys were playing in the water Maggie played on the patio. :) Sweet girly! 

Okay... back to the pool!  They were in the pool for a total of 3 times on Saturday.  They loved playing in the water, but we also found that they loved to change back into their dry clothes, too. :)

Isn't he cute!!!

Sweet boy!  He and JD switched swim suits by the way. 

They had so much fun!!! 

Maggie put on her swim suit, too!  The water was a little to cold for her.  She didn't like it. :(  She loves the bath water, so we will have to try again when the water is warmer. :)

We watched Monsters vs Aliens while trying to "rest".  They were all so tired, but they didn't want to sleep. :)

Hunter played in the pool one more time after the boys had left.  Then he fell asleep while eating dinner! He was worn out!  He had such a great day!  We all did!!  We were so happy to have Kade and JD.  

laugh and learn kitchen...

Happy Saturday!!!  Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!  We have 2 extra, sweet boys at our house today!  Hunter is SUPER excited J.D. and Kade came over to play.  They have been playing in the pool and slip-n-slide!  Pictures to come later...

Now on to the little kitchen.  We got this laugh and learn kitchen for Hunter for his 1st Christmas.  Here he is at 6 months and about a week...

My sweet boy!!! 

Look at that hair!  Where is Maggie's hair?

He was a little sick when this was taken... yucky nose!  Sorry!  He is still precious though!!!

Well the last time we were at Coach and Honey's house we brought the kitchen home for little Miss Maggie!  She will be 7 months old tomorrow.  Here are some pics...

Can you tell it's Mag Pie?

She has some chubby cheeks but not quite like Hunter.

Maggie is the size Hunter was at 2 months old!!!  Really!  I found an old doctors size thingy.  Hunter at his 2 month check up weighed 15 lbs!  Maggie at her 6 1/2 month check up weighed 15 lbs!  Too funny!!!  She might be average weight for most babies at 6 months but compared to Hunter she is still tiny to us!! :)  

Ohh and she is really trying to crawl!  She is super close!  

Have a great Saturday everyone!!! =)

Last day of school...

Today is Hunter-man's last day of school! =(  He has LOVED school this year!  It has been such a blessing to have him go and have fun with friends while I stay home with Maggie.  He really loves school this year.  He loves playing with his friends and loves his teachers.  I can't believe it's already May!!!  Where did the time go???  Next year Maggie, Hunter and I will all be heading up to Beltway for school.  I am going to teach again! Yay!  Just not music!  Thank goodness! :)  


Anyway... Hunter is having fun today!  They are having a pizza party and they have air castles to jump in!  He was super excited to see the air castle this morning when we walked into church!  I wish I was there to take pictures... next time! :)

Here is Hunter's Tiger class!  

We are so blessed that he got to go this year!  Thank you Honey and Coach!  Thank you Beltway for awesome teachers and a wonderful place for Hunter to grow and learn!!!

Uncle "Dabid"

I'm such a bad blogger.  Sorry it has been soooo long.  Last week was crazy!!  Ben worked late a lot!  This week is much better!  Thank you Jesus! :)

Anyway... Uncle David is here.  (This is part of the reason why last week was a bit crazy.)  Ben took off last Wednesday and drove over to Texas Tech and picked up Uncle Dav and brought him here to stay with us for a while.  We are so glad to have him!  He has been working hard at our house.  Let's see what all has he been doing... last Thursday he helped Ben at Art Walk/Dog Walk.  Friday he helped Ben set up for Zoolute to Dyess.  Saturday he worked all day at the Zoolute, in the rain I might add,  serving hot dogs with Ben.  Sunday he went to church with us and played with Hunter a lot.  Monday he helped me with Logan, Maggie and Hunter.  He was such a big help! And today, Tuesday, he helped me paint the hall at our house.  He also did swimming lessons with Hunter (I should have brought the camera).  Tomorrow we are going to try and do the trim to finish off the hall.  David has been such a great help!  He has played and played with Hunter!  He has also helped out a lot with Maggie.  He has been sleeping in her room and one night when she woke up he actually tried to get her to go back to sleep before bringing her to me.  He noticed she was awake and starting to fuss a little (I was asleep b/c it was after midnight) so he put her in bed with him for a little bit and then took her into the living room thinking she might go back to sleep in his arms.  He finally brought her to me after he couldn't get her to go to sleep.  Isn't that amazing?!?!  I'm pretty sure Ben would have just woke me up as soon as she started to fuss a little. 

We love David being here!  And not just because he helps out around the house and with Ben but because we just love him!  He is super with the kiddos and is a lot of fun to be around!  

David is going home on Thursday. =(  I think Hunter is going to be one VERY sad little boy!! (we are all going to be sad)  So we are going to enjoy tomorrow!  Hopefully he will come back really, really soon!  

P.S.  I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow of Uncle David and the kids!  :)

In honor of Uncle David!  Go Tech!

Ride 'em Cowboy!

It was western day yesterday at school.  Momma completely forgot so Daddy had to go out after he put Hunter man to bed on monday night to get something western for Hunter to wear.  He came back with a cowboy hat and gun holster.  :)  Isn't he the BEST!?!!!

Hunter didn't know it was Western day until I told him when he woke up.  He got dressed faster than ever! He was ready to wear his hat, bandana, and holsters with the belt that just happened to have a longhorn on it!  As soon as he put it all on he said, "Howdy, partner!"  He was so excited!  He couldn't wait to get to school.  As we were walking out the door he spotted another bandana on the counter and had to bring it for Adam, his friend at school.   When we got to the door of his classroom he said howdy to everyone and walked right in.  He kept saying "I'm a cowboy, yew-ha"!  So cute!  Here are some pictures...

Ready for school!

Yew-Ha :)

Playing outside after swimming lessons! 

My sweet cowboy!!!!

long time no write...

I am so sorry I have not update this blog in over a week!  What was I thinking...

Well last week Hunter was sick and it kind of threw me off, I guess.  Anyway...  He had some type of virus (I can't remember the name) with a little sinus infection and the beginning of an ear infection.  He missed both days of school :(.  It was a sad week.  He also wasn't hungry all week!  Okay now you know he was sick!  He is feeling sooo much better and eating again!  Yay!  He can't wait to go to school and play with his friends tomorrow!

But guess who came down with the virus now...  Maggie! :(  She also has an ear infection in both ears!  She does not feel good.  But we did find out she weighs 15 pounds 8 oz. (50% for weight) and is in the 10% for hight (I didn't catch how long she is just the %).  She is falling off the chart for hight!!  But that's okay.  She going to be a gymnast anyway! :)

Sorry this is a short post but my Mag Pie is asleep in my arms! :)  Here is a quick pic of us in the bluebonnets... more to come!
