Destin, Florida Part 1

We went to Destin, Florida from June 24-June 27. We had planned to be there one more day, but we got a call from a neighbor that our dogs got out and they couldn't find Sarge, so we packed up and headed home to find him! Thank goodness someone called after seeing one of our missing dog signs and brought him home to us! We had a good time in Florida. The beaches were gorgeous! Hunter wasn't a fan of the ocean....at all! He did LOVE the pool though! I can't even tell you how many times he jumped off the side of that pool into Josh's arms. He was a pro by the end! Braden was adorable in his little swim trunks! I got sick on Friday and didn't get ANY pictures of Hunter playing on the beach with his sand toys, but here are the pictures I did get! We will definitely have to go back for more fun in the sun sometime in the future!!!

So proud he can "swim"!

My boys!

In between the tantrums, Hunter is so much fun right now. Tonight, Josh came in from work and Hunter walked over (okay...he sprinted over to the door) and looked at Josh and said "I missed you daddy" It was the sweetest thing ever. He is so in love with his daddy and wants to copy everything he does. Here is just one example of him being like his daddy!























Here is the first good picture of Hunter's hair cut!






















Here is a picture of Hunter in his A&M hat that Kay Kay got him for his birthday! Can you tell he is proud???
























Here is my little chubby guy! I weighed him yesterday and he was around 12 lbs!!! He is growing SO fast! He is full of smiles, I have just not caught any of them on the camera yet!!

Braden's First Smile!

Sorry, no picture! They happen so quickly I haven't caught one on the camera yet! The first one was on Monday, June 1st! Braden and I went down the street to meet with some ladies to talk about Schlumberger Spouses Association and while we were there, he gave one of the ladies the biggest smile I have ever seen from a baby! It was absolutely adorable!!!!!! He smiled at me today and it just melts my heart!!!

Here are some pictures of Hunter:

This is when the BIG yellow firetruck came to visit Hunter's class at school! Can you find him?? He is wearing a blue shirt right in the middle of the firetruck! (sorry, not the greatest pic as I had to take a picture of the picture on his school newsletter) They also had a visit from a nurse and a police officer last month! This month he will be participating in water day (several times!), bring your bike to school day and bring your ball to school day! The will also be learning about the story of Noah's Ark and Jonah and the Whale!!! So exciting!


















Here are some pictures of Hunter in Daddy's hard hat:

Hunter's First Fridge Art

So when I picked Hunter up from school today, he yelled "MOMMY, I PAINT"....He was so proud we came home and put it right on the fridge (he proceeded to rip all of the foam pieces off of one of the art pieces, but at least I got a picture first!!!)

He also came home with ANOTHER bite mark...this one on his forehead (OUCH)!!!! But he didn't bite back, so that is good!!!

How cute is he??

My neighbor Tosha has been telling me that Hunter will come home soon saying the Pledge of Allegiance to me so tonight I tested him! While he was in the bathtub, I said "I pledge" and I stopped and he kept going!!! So I got out my camera and we sat on the couch for a "photo op".

Here is what we got -


They taught him to say grace before eating his meals. He forgot "God is Great" but he starts with "God is good, let us thank him for our food...AMEN".-



I think I confused the poor kid....this is after saying the pledge, grace and goodnight prayer:

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pledge the flag, and thank him for our food" and I stopped the camera and he said "AMEN"
