Crawling

Labor Day

It was nice to have Mike home all day for the long weekend. For Labor Day we went to a small beach of off lake Texoma which is 20 min from our house.

Family Visit

My parents came for a visit in August.

They flow in and thought it was really hot in Dallas. But they had on long sleeved shirts and every one was making fun of them.

The next day Mike and my Dad went to see the Dallas Cowboys play in there new stadium. They said it was huge.


My Dad loved swimming with hunter and just spending quality time. Mike and I got to go to the Temple a couple days before our anniversary. While we were in the Temple Hunter had all day alone to spend with Gran and Papa. I think they had a blast.



For our anniversary my parents took us out to the Cheesecake Factory. It was soo good. On our anniversary we made paella ( a Spanish dish) and an ice cream cake.





For my 25th birthday Mike gave me a spa day and I went out and got my hair and nails all done.

After that Alena and Dan came up for a weekend and had a really great time swimming and taking pictures.


Papa went home and we had Gran to ourselves for a whole week. It was fun just haning out and staying up late watching Veronica Mars.

My mom and I also went to see Eat Pray Love it was a good movie but the scenery was fantastic. I want to some day go and see those sights in person one day now.

We also finally got Hunter a real Crib he as been sleeping in a pack and play for 7 months now.

We also went to a football game at the High School Mike works at Denision Yellow Jackets.

These are a few of hunter's favorite things

First tooth.

I just wanted to remember this so I am writing it down. Hunter cut his first tooth on Thursday july 22nd 2010 and another one on Monday. They are the bottom front teeth. They are still small and he is very slobbery that you can't see them very well. But you can feel them. He is pretty good about it. Some time he is really whinny though.

Trip to Canada and more

So it has been a long time and we have traveled near and far.
I was looking on other peoples blogs and thought that I should finish mine while I had the time instead.

Well summer started here in Texas and it was very hot. So I decided to buy some water melon, it ' always makes me think of summer. When I got home I saw that it had a sticker saying "I'm yellow. So I just had to take a picture.



Hunter had never been to Canada, so we just had to go and show him Gran's and Papa's house. We went for three weeks.
He did great once again on the airplane but we had a long ride home from the air port since we flow into Syracuse.

Another reason that we went to canada was to go to my cousins Shona's wedding. It was a great time a the reception looked great. Every one thought Hunter looked so cute. Shona looked great in her dress as well.


Alena and Dan also came to visit for the first week of our trip. We had fun hanging out and playing wii. Hunter enjoyed spending some time with Auntie Alena and Uncle Dan whatching the World Cup.

We also had fun playing 5 pin bowling. Dan had never played before but I think he won at least one game.

5 pin ball which is a hunter size ball.

Then Alena and Dan left and Mike came to visit. Mike did not want to spend his first Fathers Day all by himself in Texas so he flow up for a very sort trip to Canada for about a week.

We went on a picnic up the Gatineau hills. It was a beatiful night and great food.
For desert we went out for Poutine. We took pictures but with my dad's camera maybe we will post some later for all the American's out there.

Mike had a check list of what he wanted to see and do in his sort time in Canada. We tried to get every thing on the list done put did not have time for some. A couple of the items on the list were. Fathers Day.

Hunter's gift to dada and papa.

On our last day Mike and I got to spend the day together. We went to the beach.

Hunter and papa had such a good day together we needed to take a picture to remember it.

After Mike left hunter and I just spent time with family.

Gran and Hunter


Hunter Grew so much in our time in Canada
First he was eating the plate

Then trying to eat the cookies.


Then he was drinking Grans Frappichino.
I think that we need to start him on food when we get home.

Then it was time to leave Canada and say good bye to Gran and Papa.

While at home in Texas we celebrated both sides of Hunters nationalities.

First Canada Day with Mama.

Then Independence Day with Dada.


Cup cakes I made for the 4th of July.

We went to Denison to look at apartments and found one with a little bit of a yard. We are excited. Then we went camping for the first time with Hunter.

mmmmm s'mores.

Oma's Visit

Mike's Grandma came to visit us this week. We were very busy working and keeping up with life. She came along for the ride. But we did spent one day relaxing with her. We went to the Dallas Zoo.

We also went swimming after a long day at work. Hunter loves the water.

We also bought a used car foe Mike to drive to work.
