Happy Wednesday!!


I have some exciting news to share, nothing to do with the picture & no we're DEFINITELY not expecting, but... my baby went #2 on the potty last night for the 2nd time of his life!!! Ha! It's been since MAY he last tried it and succeeded!
This is such an exciting milestone that he has accomplished!! I had to bribe him with a sticker and sweet talk him, but it worked. He was so proud of himself, you could see it all over his face. After he was done he didn't want to get off the potty, took us 30 min. to get him to stand up so I could wipe him. Silly boy!
Hopeing this is the beginning of a fully potty trained little boy soon!!!

Fun at the Park!

We took Hunter hunting on Saturday for the first time this year. He really enjoyed himself being outside all day but oh boy was it HOT as ever!!
Let's just say we will not be returning for a while until it turns cooler!!
(Ahem..whenever that will be!!)




Sunday I took my baby "big" boy to the park near our home. It had been a long while since I took him! We had a good time spending one on one time together and will be returning more than often!
We had so much fun, can't you see...




minus the HOT heat!!

Is he really 3 today!?!

Just look at how much my baby has grown up over the pass 3 years....


Where has my Baby gone to?!? ..

My son you are 3 today and Mommy just wants to cry because you have grown up so quickly!! All I keep asking myself is where has the time gone?!? These past 3 years have been the best years of my life thus far! I have been so honored and blessed to be called your Mommy! I couldn’t imagine my life without you being apart of it. You are Mommy’s world! ♥ God created you just for me and I’m so Thankful he did!

You have been so sweet lately with your sweet soft voice always calling Mommy, then unexpectedly you sneak in a little kiss and say I love you Mommy. These are the most precious moments I’ll always cherish in my heart. I’m going to miss all of this once you get older so I’m going to enjoy this next year and cherish every moment we spend together.

Hunter you have accomplished so much in the past year and we are so very proud of you. Your new sayings are “Ma’am, Not uh, I don’t know, but why Mommy, I’m not done yet, Okayyy (with an attitude), “ and so much more but can’t remember all of them. I have to share this about what you said the other night laying in bed, you looked at me and kissed me and said “Thank you for my party.” It was the most unexpected but sweetest thing you’ve ever said to Mommy. You have said a lot of new things lately that are too sweet.
Your favorite things to do these days are play soft ball (your pretty good at it), soccer/football, hunting of course, watch Dora & Diego, puzzles, books, trains, riding your four-wheeler, drawing and writing (with your left hand), playing with your dump trucks in the dirt, jumping in mud puddles with your rain boots, your def. ALL boy!! You haven’t pee’d in a pull up in a long time but you still wont go #2 on potty though, instead you tell me when you have to go then go hide and say don’t watch me. Ha. You are in a 3T-4T, size 9 ½ shoe, weigh around 38 I’m guessing. You always get the most compliments on your beautiful blonde hair, even though its beginning to turn darker on top of your head. You can count to 10, say all your colors. You have accomplished so much my son and we are so proud of our big boy.

Today Mommy sent cupcakes and goody bags to school for all your classmates and teachers. I really hope you enjoy this special day because It only comes once a year. :) I love you so much Hunter and I’m very excited to see what this year has in store for us. I’m pretty sure the 3’s will be worse than the 2’s (I’ve already noticed the back talking, etc) but we will get through this together! You are an AMAZING little boy and I am graciously Thankful for you!!! Keep being strong and never give up baby.
Happy 3rd Birthday Hunter!!!
We love you so much!!!
Love Mommy & Daddy.


(he wasn't completely awake when I took this this morning) :)

Birthday continued...
Hunter received a Happy Birthday card from his daycare.



After picking him up from school we headed to Cracker Barrel for his bday dinner. Yum!! We then headed to the house and mommy lit up 3 candles on a cupcakss and sang Happy Birthday! ♥

Hunter's Cars 2 Birthday Party!!

We celebrated Hunter’s 3rd Birthday Party over the weekend!! His actual Birthday wasn't until Wednesday, the 24th but I’m glad we did it earlier (that hurricane Irene aint no joke). We had his party at the church this year and it was a huge success!! We got everything set up early that Saturday morning then had his party @ 4. Hunter was so surprised when he saw all the decorations and everything set up. He had three of his friends show up from school, his best bud Dominic, Vivian, and Jayden along with all of our family members. I was so impressed with the way everything turned out. Usually I get so stressed when it comes to setting up everything for his big day but everything turned out smoothly! All of the decorations was a huge hit, thanks to my Momma and Etsy!!

The Birthday Boy....

He then opened up all his presents!! He received lots of great things, Dora and Diego dvds, lots of trucks and Cars 2 toys, guy Harvey shirt, pj's, puzzles, train set, camo rain boots, Cars life jacket, sleeping bag,etc..



This was a very sweet moment for my Granny, Hunter opened up her gift she gave him that was homemade Cars curtains and a pillow... He walked up to her with a huge smile and Thank you! G.G was tickled bc she wad the only one he did that too. Love her Heart!



The kids playing a few games I set up for them after Hunter opened up his gifts... Hunter had no concern in playing any of the games except for hogging the race car you see him on! Guess he thought this was his party and he'll do whatever he wants to, ha! :)



It was cute seeing the kids playing these games!
Pin the wheel on the car ~ Race & pop a balloon then tag next person

Proud Isn't even the Word...



more like JEALOUS!!! Ha!

Can you believe this?!? First day of hunting season my husband and I go sit that evening in our stands and he kills a nice 8 point while all I saw were two does! That hubby of mine has got to be the most luckiest man I know (next to my dad) when it comes to huntin'! I didn't believe him of course when he text me around 8 saying he shot at a buck. (we're always picking at one another) Sure enough he came to pick me up from my stand and we headed over to his to search for blood and it lead us right to a nice 8 point. I was so happy for him but of course I was a little jealous! :) He makes me sick when it comes to huntin' sometime's, but you gotta love him! Hehe. This will be continued with me in the picture next time... I hope!

Water Park Fun

Saturday I took Hunter to the water park with his Grandaddy. We haven't hardly done anything outside lately because Its just been way to HOT! I had 2 free tickets so I figured I'd take him for a few hours to burn off some energy. Do something a little different than playing in the yard or inside all day watching tv. Boring!




He had a great time and I'm so glad I took him. We ran into his best buddy from Daycare, Dominic and his parents. So Hunter had him a playmate the whole time we were there. He also slid down the slide all by himself, Mommy was impressed. Ha. We had fun and he passed out as soon as we got home. That's my boy!

Family

Here are a few pictures of the family I wanted to post from when my Momma came home to visit for the week.
