Hey! We're Still Here

Well there goes my resolution to blog once a week, at this point I'm blogging once a quarter! We'll see if my record improves. For now grab your favorite pint of Ben and Jerry's, mine's Half Baked - ahhhh - and enjoy the update on the Happy Hunt Home.

July

The Rangers v The Angles

Jeremy really can do anything. We loved going to Angles games in CA so he found when the Angels would be in town playing the Rangers and then instead of just getting tickets for us, he organized an open call at work and made it a Southwest event at the ball park. It was really great to meet many of his co workers and enjoy a ball game. 

 

We of course came in our finest Angels apparel, which wasn't much. CJ at 4 years old fit pretty well in his 2T jersey that we dug out but Teensie takes the cake at over a year old wearing her brothers onesie that is 3-6mo! They both looked great.

Did I mention that it was about 85 degrees with 90% humidity?

 

  

Did I mention that the game was super slow and then in the end the Angles lost? It wasn't the greatest game, and I think that next time we'll be rooting for the Rangers, they do have Vladamir Gurrero and Benji Monlina favorite former Angles, and we do like the Ranger colors, red, white and blue.

Pioneer Day Princess

This dress was a birthday gift from Grandma Hunt and the bonnet was from Apple Hill last year, and for Pioneer Day this year little Janie was the cutest baby of all.

 

 

 Star Wars at the Library

We have some really great evens that happen at the local libraries here. One night celebrated the 30th anniversary of Star Wars so we made it a daddy - son night with our friend Jose and his son Stev. Everyone had a fantastic time and the next morning on the front page the boys made the paper! Jeremy is even there behind the storm trooper, it was quite a sensation.

August

Summer Swimmers

This was the hottest summer the Hunt's have ever had. We spent as much time as we could in the pool and even enjoyed story time every Friday morning at the local water park. It was a great way to beat the heat. 

By the end of August CJ was brave enough to go down the water slides, he always made a big splash!

  

Trio Houses for the Family

CJ can be so creative when it comes to building, and he loves his Trio Blocks. Here he has spent the better part of an hour building houses for each member of the family that when combine form an airport that shoots fireworks whenever a plane lands. Whew!

   

Silly Teensie

This kid has so much personality I don't know what to make of it all! At a friend's house she insisted on wearing these goggles and made me laugh till my sides hurt.

   

September

CJ's Sports Class

We signed Christopher up for a muli sports class through the city to see if he had any of the ol' Hunt talent. What we found is that he loves to play more than pay attention and had a great time learning about soccer, T-ball, and basket ball.

  KISS Concert

That's right, KISS. Jeremy knows the head pyro tech from shows in CA so when the band came to Frisco, TX Jeremy was able to call up his buddy and shoot the show for the night.

  

We had a couple of friends that went to the concert as well that Jeremy was able to say hi to. It's fantastic that Jeremy is able to continue his pyrotechnic passion here in Texas. He has joined a local team here and has done several soccer games, FC Dallas, and some smaller venues as well. We are very proud of him!

Teepee Kids  

 It's finally cooled down enough that the kids can play a bit in the back yard. We put up the teepee that Grandma Hunt made for us and the kids love it!

Amelie's Owl

So what have I been up to? Oh, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, mostly running after the kids and working on the house, but lately I took up a small project that paid off big time.

Look how cute! This is one of the outfits for new baby Amelie, Vanessa and Paul's newest addition, and I fell in love with the owl over the pocket. So I thought, why not try making a pillow pal? And after a couple of nights and some trial and error here we have it. I can't wait to make another.

Preschool Fire Station

 

CJ has started preschool and loves it. He attends an at home class with 4 other sunbeam friends and we just went on our first field trip to the fire station! Here's CJ with his partner in crime, Adam. They both learned a lot and had a great time. I teach manners this week so I'll let you know how that turns out.

CJ Reading the Funnies

I couldn't pass this one up: Yesterday we were in the car and I threw the funnies at CJ. At first he had no interest but in no time this was how I found him. Jeremy and I were struck with incessant giggles at our little man and I'm glad I had the camera to snap a pic.

In Other News . . .

I guess it's about time that everyone shares our joy, we're pregnant, and moving on in weeks. I'll be 20 weeks this next weekend so that's when we go for the ultrasound. I was set on not discovering the gender of our new little one, but now that it's so close, can I really go through with it? We'll see. For now we know that I'm due in early February and if all goes well at the birthing center I'll have a water birth. It's all very exciting and so far it's been a wonderful pregnancy.
