Grandpas

Story time with Grandpa Hunt. We don't live close enough for Craig to get to do this this very often but he sure enjoyed it!

 We had a good time in AZ.

Grandpa's are the best. And Craig is lucky enough to have the 2 best ones out there!

Father and Sons - May

 In May Craig went on a father and sons outing. He calls it his 'greatest adventure' And he still talks about it. Him and K.C. had a great time together. I love it when he gets to do fun things with his daddy. They're good buddies. I hope it always stays that way!

While they were playing by the little lake they found "specks" you know little fuzz balls that have "Who's" living on them! He still has a few in his room and we pulled a clover out of our grass one time he had to go running into his room and grab a speck with his best friend on it to live on the special home. He carried it around for days... or at least untill the colver was to too wilted to hold a speck anymore.

Next!

It might surprise some of you to find that Craig has not in fact been fishing for the last 5 months! And with any luck you'll see some posts soon to prove it!

Craigs Fish

Last time Ang and Nate were here they took the kids fishing. Craig had never gone and was thoroughly captivated by it all.

Two happy boys!


Craig caught a fish! He was SO excited.

Nate held it for him to see:

He was so pleased that he just kept making little noises and hopping around. He wouldn't touch it but he was so happy he couldn't contain himself!

Craig thought that we were going to cook it up and eat it but it ended up that Craig's fish went home with Ang and Nate. He was pretty irritated with Nate when he found out. So to make it up to him when they came back Nate brought a bunch of fish from Lake Powel and cooked him up one special (of about the same size) So he could have "his fish!" I think it worked Craig seemed to be satisfied.

Flash Back - K.C.'s Birthday

Remember a while ago when I remembered I had a birthday? Turns out K.C. had one too! haha. Imagine that!

We had lots of fun on a low (wait a NO) budget.  :)

 The twins and Wanda came for a sleepover and did a number on the house in the middle of the night. It was awesome!

 Craig was a little tired. We had a hard time waking him up for the festivities!

 We have a tradition of putting up crepe paper for the birthday person to run through... 

 K.C. never does anything 'half way' :)

 Then we went to Kite Festival and partied there. Craig got to sit in the fire truck and loved it...

 But I must admit I was surprised to find that Savannah was the one who refused to get out! Silly girl.

 

 My Parents. This is the picture of true love right here. My dad took this recliner and converted it into a wheelchair for my mom so that she could be comfortable wherever they went. That's just one example of the love that these two share. They inspire me with their undying devotion and love for each other! Love you parents! (And it makes a pretty good granddaughter magnet too! :)

 Watching these two together makes my heart happy! I love my boys.

 This was Craigs reaction when the band started playing his favorite song from 'Cars.' "Life is a highway." He was so happy!

 All the partying was exhausting for the little ones!

 My hot hubby!

Life is so good when we're all together!

 Haha! Oh Savannah!

Then we opened his presents:

And he got some help with the candles!

Happy Birthday K.C. It was a fun day! Hope you know how much we all love you! You're the best!

Basically I'm behind. Very very behind. But I've been so busy doing all of these things that I run from one to the next and don't have the time to keep a nice record of them. And I've been bad, oh so bad at reading other people's blogs too! sometimes I just want that lazy feeling of "hmm what should I do now? I think I'll look at some blogs and catch up on my friends...leisurely... because I can!" or even just "Hey my kid just did something cute I'm going to post about it and I can do that!"

Notice the time? 1:40AM? sigh.

Dear life, why can I never catch up? Please try to get back to normal soon. Thanks so much. Love me

She Walks!

She finally gave in. Savannah has been standing sturdy as can be for months! Literally. She has even taken several steps on ocassion. But in classic Savannah style she has tried hard to keep this a secret from us all. She's only done it when she thinks we're not looking or not paying attention.

Well a few weeks ago she caved. We gave her a phone in each hand and then dangled a third in front of her as enticement... She very slowly, very diliberatly walked several feet to get the phone. And then she kept going back and forth and back and forth.

Since then she has branched out and will stand up and walk to other non-prompted things. For example today I was sitting on the floor in the middle of her room folding laundry and she stood up near the door walked over to me, grabbed a shirt from my pile walked over to her closet and started pulling on a hanger! Cute!

The funny thing about her walk though is that it is not fast, it's not tipsy or wobbly. She has very good posture with her arm hanging at her side and she slowly and deliberately walks. The only way you can properly apreciate the cute funniness of it is to see it. So I guess you'll have to come visit! OK well maybe I'll post a video... right after I take one! Sigh.

But I'm so proud of her! I also can't believe that she's going to be turning one next week! How can my baby be one already? Crazy.
