All is well.

We are all still doing well - no worries. It has been a while since I posted last thanks to our computer deciding to die. Perhaps a little blonde headed, blue eyed little boy had something to do with it. We may never know. Anyways, the computer is up and running again so I am able to post!! There is no exciting news to report. We are all just fine and Hunter is still growing like a weed. As a matter of fact, we took him to get his feet properly sized for shoes the other day and his feet are HUGE!!! He wears a 6 1/2 double wide! HOLY COW!!! His shoes were more expensive than mine! WOW! The major upset to that is that he will most likely outgrow these shoes within the next few months. Will the spending of money ever slow down???

A Happy Day!

Today is a great day! It is my cousin Erin's birthday and we also got wonderful news yesterday. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN and CONGRATULATIONS JOE AND JAIME!!!

We are really looking forward to celebrating Erin's birthday with her and her husband this coming weekend. It should be lots of fun even if our son is being a complete crab apple!

We can't wait to meet Joe and Jaime's new addition to the family. That is right, Joe and Jaime are expecting their first baby this November!! It will be an adventure that will last a lifetime!

Happy Mother's Day!!

First off, I would like to wish all you moms out there a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! I hope you all have a relaxing day because as moms we all certainly deserve it! I would also like to add that I think I have a great family! The picture helps to prove that, except for the fact that Hunter is desperately trying to get down!!

Next, I would like to share what my wonderful husband and sweet little boy got for me for Mother's Day. First, it started out with me sleeping in, a rare thing. Then Hunter brought me a card from just him. He carried it to me and all. It was adorable! Christian then gave me his gift. It completely blew me away! He got me an afternoon at the spa!!! I have never had this before and I must say that I am super excited about it! I get a full body massage, a facial, a manicure and a pedicure! That is all going to take about 3 1/2 hours!! I get a 3 1/2 hour break! WOW!!! My husband ROCKS!!! So, needless to say, I am definately getting pampered for Mother's Day!

Let May Begin!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
We hope you have a great day and we are sure you will since you have the day off of work!! What a wonderful birthday present!! Hunter hopes his MeeMaw is smiling all day long! We love you lots!!!

One of the best moms!

I just wanted to take a minute to say that I think my good friend Mandy is one of the BEST moms I know!! She has two incredible little girls and they are the way they are because of their terrific parents! Mandy has been there through some pretty rough times for me and I just want to tell her thank you! She has always offered wonderful advice on how to handle things with Hunter - even if it was to find a toilet big enough to flush him right down! If she was not a great mom I would never go to her for advice. So, Mandy, if you are reading this please know that you are a fabulous mom and your girls are so lucky to have you and Jason for their parents!!

Well, we have a few projects going on at our house for the moment. They are sure to improve on how the house looks both inside and out. First. Outside, I am beginning to line all my gardens with a stone border. I am really excited about how the gardens will look once this is complete! No more lawn growing into my gardens!!! That will be awesome!! Second. Christian has started to tear out our kitchen ceiling. My Dad and him will be redoing it together. We will be adding some new lights to it as well. This will really open up our kitchen and make it a lot brighter too! We are both super excited about this project. Third. I am hoping to begin repainting our bedroom and bathroom. I love to paint and this will make our bedroom much nicer. Last, but certainly not least, we are working hard at getting Hunter off the bottle. He will only drink water from a sippy cup. Strange child, I know. However, today I used an Avent trainer cup and he used it!!! This is a step in the right direction! Now, if only I could get him to use one of the other million sippy cups that we have on hand. One day. Of course, he has to give up the bottle sooner or later. He would pretty silly sitting at the lunch table drinking out of a bottle! What would his future girlfriend and friends say about that?!?!?!

Toddler Fest 2008!!!

Toddler Fest 2008 was a HUGE success!!! We got home yesterday from Sioux City and we had a blast!! We left on Thursday the 17th and got to Grand's house later that afternoon. Hunter was great on the plane as well as the drive up from Omaha! Hunter made himself right at home the moment we walked in the door - he had no fear!! He took off and went right up the stairs and that is how he spent most of his time - going up and down the stairs! We were all amazed at how comfortable he was immediately! Grand could not have been happier!! The look on her face when we finally arrived was enough to make our year! She was so happy and we were so happy to be there and for her and Hunter to meet! We made so many wonderful memories and have lots and lots of pictures. Not only did Hunter spend time with his Great Grand but he also met his Great Aunt Jan and Great Uncle Sandy as well as Tim, Heather, Henry and Hailey! Grand sure did have a house full! We all really enjoyed staying with Grand and visiting with each other. It was great to have us all in the same place at the same time! It truly was a trip to remember!!
