Happy 2nd Birthday, Maggie!!!!

Sunday, was Maggie's 2nd birthday!  Can you believe it?  She is such a sweet little girl!!  I think my friend, Christina said it best, "She's not all sugar.  She's got some spice!"  She is so funny!  She makes us all laugh all the time.  She is also a little stinker at times.  She knows what she wants and will do whatever it takes to get it.  She is our climber and our future gymnast.  She will find anything and everything to stand on so she can stunt like the hsu cheerleaders.  She is not afraid of anything! :)  She gives the best hugs and pats on the back.  She won't go to sleep at night without kissing everyone goodnight.  She loves her brothers and her best friend is Hunter.  We are so blessed!  Maggie, we love you so much!!  Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you!  We are having Maggie's birthday party this Sunday, so yesterday we just had a few cupcakes at home.  

Make a wish!  

(I was afraid she was going to put her hand in the fire.  She almost did!)

Yummy cupcake!  I had to buy cupcakes from United.  We were to busy at homecoming yesterday. :(  I'll be making her cake for this weekend! 

It's easier to eat it like this, right? 

By the way she has been wearing her tinkerbell outfit ALL THE TIME!  I really can't believe she can fit into it.  It's from last Halloween and is a size 6 - 9 months!!!!  She loves it and had to wear it all day yesterday! :)

She was excited about the ring from her cupcake. 

Showing her ring to Daddy! :)

She also wanted to hold her little bubba last night.  She insisted on holding him! :)

Sweet kisses! 

Oh and not only was it Maggie's birthday...

Archer is 1 month old!!!  Already!?!?!

Stretch!!

Maggie had to get on the floor with him

Love Love Love these 2 kiddos!  (Hunter was at Cubbies having fun learning about Jesus!)

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Join us on a trip to the Pumpkin Patch...

Maggie says, "Come on!"

Hunter sitting with the dog.  I think this will be this dogs last year at the pumpkin patch.  He was kind of falling apart this year.  Hunter had been talking about wanting to sit in his lap again.

Daddy with all the kids :)

Love this picture and LOVE that boy! 

Maggie carried around that little pumpkin almost the whole time.  We bought and brought it home. 

Having fun!

Maggie had to pick up a few pumpkins.

It was just a little heavy. :)

Maggie and Momma!  I love this picture!!! 

My sweet kids!!  

That's my girl!!!

Sweetest boys! 

Daddy and Mags! 

Hunter was so excited to go to the pumpkin patch!  We had been talking about it all week.  This is his 4th year to get to go!  

Archer's 1st Bath! :)

Tuesday, Archer got to take his first bath!  Yay!!!  

He did really well!!  He didn't cry at all!  I think he likes taking baths. 

So sweet!  This is the same bath tub that Maggie and Hunter used.  

As soon as I got him in the tub, in ran Hunter and Maggie.  They wanted to help!  Hunter washed his toes and Maggie watched.  She did wash him a little tiny bit. :)

Hello! 

Sweet, clean baby boy! 

Baby Elephant, Archer! 

Hunter had the PBK frog towel, Maggie the pink chick, and now Archer has the elephant!  

Putting lotion on his little back

Bye-bye!  Until next time...

Elk Fest 2011

Well Hunter is home from CO.  He had a wonderful time with Coach and Honey and he saw lots of elk. For those of you who don't know, Hunter got to go with Coach and Honey to Elk Fest in Estes Park, CO.  He went for a long weekend the first weekend of this month.  We are still hearing stories about his trip.  He loved it!  Here are a few pictures...  I'll try to tell you about them, but if you want the real story, you need to talk to the Hunter-man. 

There were Native Americans at Elk Fest.  Hunter said he was afraid of the them though. :)  I think he might have watched a little to much of Davy Crockett. 

Here he is with his number on from the bugling contest.  Let me just tell you... They have this big bugling contest.  Contestants get on this big stage in front of lots of people and bugle and Hunter did it!!!  He was the 2nd person to go and the first person chickened out!  He did awesome!!  I'll try and put the video up on the blog soon.  He didn't win, but got a t-shirt which he LOVES!  He is so proud of that shirt! 

Here he is on stage! 

He did awesome!!!  Go Hunter-man!!!

Here is his shirt and his new hat! 

A better picture with his new hat.  It is a buffalo hat, but he calls it his "Red Stick" hat.  Red Stick is the Indian from Davy Crockett.  (It is also going to be his halloween costume.)

Coach and Hunter watching the elk! 

They didn't get to see them "boom fight" but they did get to hear them bugle. 

Hunter ate pancakes every morning! 

And just look at the trees!!!  I have never been to CO during the fall, but I think it looks beautiful! 

And here are some of the bull elk that they saw!  

Hunter had such a great time!  Thank you Coach and Honey for taking him!  If you want to hear about his trip all you have to do is ask!  He will talk to your ear off about it! :)
