Hunter’s 3rd Birthday

I’m ashamed at how few pictures we got on Saturday!  Forgive me for slacking!!  Hunter had a wonderful time at his party.  Thanks to everyone who could make it and jump around with us.  I do have lots of video, but will have to get that downloaded another time.

 

Surrounded by girls and opening gifts…doesn’t get much better than that!!!  We had two sets of twin girls at the party. He’s starting young!!

I’m also hoping to get pictures and/or video from Saturday night at Brent’s cousin’s graduation party.  She had everyone sing Happy Birthday to Hunter before she gave her speech.  It was SO special and brought tears to my eyes.  Keep in mind – graduation parties in Round Top/Carmine are 200+ people, so it was very cool.  Thank you, Shelby, for being so unselfish on your special day.

Jenna – 9 months

Jenna turned 9 months old last week.  Here are some of her favorite things:

1.  Hunter or any of Hunter’s toys

2.  Clicking her tongue

3.  Cords – she seems drawn to electrical things and their cords. Takes child proofing to a whole new level.

4.  Pulling up and STANDING up – I can get her into standing position and she will stand by herself for a couple seconds.  She is very sturdy and balanced.  I predict she’ll be walking by 11 months at the latest.

5.  Tags – she prefers the tags on stuffed animals more than the stuffed animal itself.  :)

Jenna is absolutely precious these days.  She smiles at Mommy and Daddy all the time.  She adores her big brother.  She’s going through a Mommy stage where she wants me to pick her up or hold her anytime she sees me – makes it difficult to be around other family members that want to hold her.  But Mommy sure does appreciate it!!

I don’t have any new pictures of Jenna, but I do have some from the last few months that I don’t think I posted.  I will try to get some of us together today, since it is MY day!!  :)

 

Pictures say a thousand words

Jenna’s first trip to the “water park” in our neighborhood was quite the success.  She was FEARLESS!!  Crawled right to the middle of the fountain so that I had to go “save” her for fear she would allow the water to engulf her.  It was a beautiful day and we took every advantage of it.  Thank you God for your many blessings!!

The third shot was an accidental photo….why are those always the best?  Probably because of the great angle…

Hmmm…what’s that over there???

Oh, it’s just water.  What harm can a little water be???

 

Just barely missed!

A closeup of her soaked face…she was SO into it, but was also happy to get into dry clothes.  What a great day!

Hunter’s first Astros game

And Daddy’s first caught fowl ball!  Yes, we put an exclamation point on Hunter’s first baseball game when Brent caught a fowl ball while I was taking Hunter to potty.  So we missed it but got the play-by-play from everyone around us when we got back.  It was very exciting!!

Hunter also had his first peanuts and cracked them open all by himself!  It was too cute.  He had his first snow cone (what a mess) and tried his first Cracker Jacks but didn’t like them (who wouldn’t like candy covered popcorn??).

Here are some great pictures from the big day.  Oh, and this was the Astros 7th loss to start the season…I have no clue how they’re doing at this point but it can’t be good…
