New Stove and Micro!

Our stove finally needed to be replaced shortly after Christmas. Very sad to see it go since we both loved it. But, we love our new gas stove and micro so much more!!! True, it is not as cool looking as our old one but it makes our kitchen look much more modern. We are still working on updating the rest of the kitchen a little bit at a time. We only have the counters and backsplash left to do and we are finished!!! It already looks so different. We are pretty happy with how it is turning out. It has come a long way since we started.

Fur Kids



We still have all three of our fur babies! Prism is becoming a very old princess at the age of 17 while Kuchka and Trypp are still pretty young at heart. Kuchka is coming up on 9 years and Trypp will soon be 8 years.

Slot Car Races





Christian and Hunter both share a passion for cars. That is no secret. So, Christian decided to introduce Hunter to slot car races and they both had a great time! Hunter was in love with all the cars and the huge tracks! His favorite was the drag racing. He cannot wait to go back and actually "borrow" or rent a car to race for an hour. I love that Christian and Hunter have this activity to do together!

Sledding!




We recently took the boys out sledding and of course Hunter loved it! Since this was Evan's first time he was a little shy of the sled at first but quickly started to laugh and have a great time! We just pulled them around the neighborhood and later that day I took Hunter sledding down hills for the first time! He had a blast!!! It was great to see him racing down the hill and giggling as he climbed back up! He asks just about everyday to go sledding. Not sure what I am going to do once Winter is over and the snow is gone. I am sure the pool will be a big hit then!

Snow Angels!


Hunter loves to play in the snow no matter how much we get and we are due for some more today! Last week when we had a few inches fall he begged and begged to go out with me while I cleaned off the driveway and sidewalk. He helped me for a little bit and then started making tons of snow angels. He was laughing and giggling the entire time! Super cute!

Fish Boy!


Evan LOVES our fishtank! He will watch the fish for the longest time and really enjoy it. He pushes his Mickey Mouse bike over to the tank and climbs up on it to get a closer look. It is great to hear him squealing with excitement as he watches the fish and talks to them. I remember Hunter doing this very same thing. Both my boys love animals!

Whooping Cough


Hunter was recently diagnosed with Whooping Cough and has been on several breathing treatments a day, steroids and an antibiotic. He is beginning to feel better and hates his breathing treatments. That is another way I know he is feeling better - he is strongly voicing his opinion! He was not doing that earlier this week. So, even though it is a bit annoying it is a good sign! So far the rest of us have avoided the nasty illness. Thank goodness!

Korean Shirts




Uncle Adam sent some really neat gifts from Korea and the boys wear them proud! Hunter and Evan both love their new shirts and the fact that it was warm enough to wear them this past weekend made them even better! Of course, they wore them in the house since 50 is a bit chilly. Hunter had a blast showing off for the camera! Evan was pretty happy too!

Hello 2011!!!

Happy New Year!!! We had a great new year's and hope you all did too! We actually got to spend our first New Year's without any kids at midnight!!! It was wonderful! We took the boys to a small party at our Nana's for part of the evening and then brought them home and put them to bed. Their MeeMaw hung out at the house and relaxed while we headed back to the party. Thanks Mom!!!

Hunter loved all the noise makers and hats for the party! He even brought some home and was still having fun with them this morning!
