Dear Hunter..

It's that time of month again..

Dear Hunter,

& Mommy cannot believe that in less than 2 months you'll be 3! Your growing like a weed son. Wish that we could press a pause button!! My son you are getting so big so fast. You have become such a handsome little boy. You are always willing to give a helping hand no matter what. You're the most polite little boy, every time you hear anyone sneeze you say "say Bless you." Sweet. Your always running your mouth and making conversations. Dora and Diego seems like the hit TV shows you've enjoyed the most lately. You love Nick Jr. Ha. Your friends (stuffed animals) you have been attached to the most are, Rabbit, Bear, and Kitten. You have been really attached lately to your momma, all you want me to do is hold you or snuggle with you, which I don't mind AT ALL! Maybe this is mine & your daddy's fault, but you still haven't learned to count to 10 or know all your colors just yet. Were working on them though. We've noticed you use your left hand a lot more than you right hand, especially with writing, were thinking your going to be a lefty! Lets hope that means you'll be smart! J Some things you like to do; kick up dirt with you clean shoes which mommy doesn't like you doing, playing in the mud, riding your four wheeler, playing ball, you like any kind of truck, shooting your hand held gun with caps that is, your ALL boy that's for sure! You like to read and color mommy pretty pictures. Giving kisses. You love to sing Jesus loves me. Every time you see a church you say Mommy church, we praise God, melts my heart. Really there's not too much you haven't already learned than the last month. Mommy just wants to write you this letter to tell you that I love you! Hunter, Mommy sometimes get aggravated with you because you wont listen or do what we tell you, but deep down you're the best kid ever! I know that you are just a baby boy and still learning new things. We love you so much and am very proud of you!!! I cannot wait for your 3 rd Birthday party, your going to have a BLAST!!! Love you ALWAYS, Mommy & Daddy

Missing my Grandaddy!

Today I'm dedicating this post in remembery of my Grandaddy, It's  been 3 years since I lost my Grandaddy. I just can't believe he's been with Jesus for this long, doesn't seem real!! Time has gone by so fast and  I wish he was here today. Not to see how crool and horrible this world has gotten (Lord knows he'd hate living his time on Earth right now) but to see his first Grandbabby grow up! Grandaddy you'd be one proud Great Grandaddy!! When I visit with Granny, and see that empty chair that you used to sit in, I always remanic on how you would have loved to laugh and spend time with Hunter. He's become a huge blessing in my life and he has helped me move forward once you passed away. I wish so much that you could have held on just a few months so you could have met Hunter, but we all know God has his purpose in life to let things turn out the way they do. Grandaddy you are missed more than ever! You are always in our thoughts!! We love and miss you so much and cannot wait to see you again!!! Always & forever your lil' tootabugs ♥ I dedicate this song to you.... Watch "Justin Moore - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" on YouTube

My friend Jennifer, who I love so dearly and really need to spend more time with had her baby shower on Saturday. This will be her 3rd child, second boy.... Baby Owen! :)

It was so nice having all us girls together and catching up on small talk. Jen. received lots of nice gifts and had a great turn out. I cannot wait to meet this little booger. Ha!! :)

Gorgeous mommy showing her baby bump off. :)

I made this Adorable diaper cake for baby Owen! I am thrilled at how well it turned out!! This is my 2nd diaper cake Ive made and cannot wait to make more!! It was a huge hit st the shower.

I also made these adorable wash cloth cupcakes!!

Boxed up in pretty ribbon.

Last week my phone cracked in half so it was time for a new one. Wayne and I went to Verizon store Sunday evening and bought us both these.....

A new Thunderbolt 3G smart phone!!! I'm so in love with this phone! I can do things I did't even know I could do. Ha!

~~~~~~

It's been an awesome week and I can't wait for the weekend!! Ya'll have a good one!

"Mommy I go Poop in Potty"...

It is Exactly what you see ......

(don't judge my photo, he's just taking care of business in an unusual way, Ha)

I'm so overwhelmed right now because my almost 3 year old went "poopy" on the

potty last night for the FIRST time EVER!!!

Ha. This is BIG for us!

We are so Proud of you Hunter!!!

He went all day yesterday @ school peeing on the potty & last night he "finally"

pooped. :)

It's the little things in life that mean the most to us as parents. Ha!

Lately he'll tell us when he has to go #2 and we would try sitting for a minute

or 15 ha, he would try to go but didn't. So I just put a pull up on him instead

of his underwear and he went in that but told me when he was done and that he

needed to be changed right away. This has been going on for 3 weeks now. Last

night I had forgotten Daddy put his underwear on him after his bath and when

Hunter told me he had to "poo" I said well go ahead, he looked at me and said "

Mommy I have underwear on" I said Oh, that's right. Ha. I asked him to lets try

on the potty, he shook his head no, then I thought for a minute... and brought

his potty to him in the bedroom so he could watch t.v and concentrate without me there. He sat down on it & all of a sudden... "Mommy I go Poop,... See!" Ahhh...I was so EXCITED, praised him and clapped and told him what a big boy he was.His cheeks turned blush red and he had this huge smile on his face! It was Priceless!! :)

You could tell he was Proud of himself as well.

Well done Hunter.. Keep this up... No more buying pull-ups... Money saved!!!

Ha! =)

On another note, while I have this fresh on my mind...

Before we arrived home yesterday Hunter saw a church we always pass by, he said "Mommy there's a church". I said yes it sure is, usually I'll ask him what do we do at church but this time I didn't have to.. he says "We praise God & Jesus loves me!"

BITTER SWEET!!!!!

It touched my heart to hear those words come from my baby boy! I love him so much & am so Greatful to be able to teach him about our Wonderful God & his son Jesus Christ! What would we do without God in our lives, I just couldn't imagine! ♥

"Apart from me, you can do nothing." John 15:5 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Bless His little Heart ..

Over the weekend we went to visit with my Granny then road four wheelers around my Dad's place. It was so HOT outside that Saturday but this was something tootabugs wanted to do. Of course he didn't take his nap that day, and so this was the out come of our fun four wheeler trip......

Bless his little heart, he fell a sleep right in his Daddy's arms while almost back to my Granny's house. I knew he wouldn't hold up for long once he started closing his eyes & nodding his head down & up. Ha. It was the most precious thing I've ever seen & felt sorry for my little guy.

~

My baby got his pictures back from his daycare last week! I'm so impressed on how wlll they turned out. My baby looks like a little boy... not so much a baby anymore! To be honest I thought he looked to be 5 in this picture instead of almost 3!!!

Such a handsome little fella! :)

Caught ya!!

As i tucked my little tootabugs in for the night I went to finish up the few dishes. About 5 minutes into washing the dishes, I look back to see the fridge door open & little feet moving under the fridge door. I thought to myself well Hunter must have gotten thirsty & needs a juice...

Daddy steps out the room and ask "Kim, did you give Hunter a pudding?

" Hunter says "No",

I said "Do WHAT". Ha.

So this little booger helped himself to some last minute feeding with a Chocolate pudding! We couldn't help but laugh because this was the first time he did this. He left his baby (stuffed animal/rabbit) laying face down on top shelf of fridge. It was so funny! He had pudding all down his neck, on shirt & all over face. Luckily he stayed right where he was & didn't take it into his bed.

Silly boy... I guess he was hungry from not eating much dinner that night. =)

Memorial Weekend

We had a wonderful Memorial weekend. Thursday night the hubby & I went to the movies to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4. It was an awesome movie! Friday was my clean up day.

Saturday my SIL & I took the kidos to the Lake/Beach. We left early morning, and were the first beach bums there. Ha. It was very relaxing & the kids LOVED it. We'll def. be taking them back soon!

Sunday we took the kids to my SIL's hunting club & we all road four wheelers around all evening. Hunter was so tickled to be at the hunting club, he loved every bit of it. We road for 4 hrs and got home at 10:30. Late night! :)

Monday we slept in til 9 & it felt GREAT! Ha! We got up & took tootabugs to the store & bought him a new pool. The one he had, had a slow leak so we got him an even bigger one. We blew it up for him & him & his cousins got to swim all evening. We later ate hamburgers & hot dogs with the family.

It was a very nice long weekend spent with family & sleeping in late! :)

And on top of all that... my baby boy wore his "Big boy" underwear ALL WEEKEND LONG, and at night time with NO ACCIDENTS!! (dispite him having to go #2 in his pull up when he tells me he has to "poo") We're so VERY PROUD of him!!! Keep it up Baby Boy!
