Alrighty....let's see...here's what's been going on with our little family this month...not a whole lot...

Went to the Dallas Safari show early January with some friends Ariana and Mike. Hunt loves going and looking at all the hunting stuff and mounts.

Also early January we had our gift exchange with our great friends Stephanie, Nick and James. Hunt got a Ben 10 movie and watch thing. He likes watching it and has been wearing the watch on and off since then. Em got a cute bull frog book. She just kept looking at it and loved it. I got a cool Aero Garden. I can't wait to try it!





On the 11th the kiddos and I had a nice lunch with grandma at the golden arches. Of course Hunt never complains about going there. I didn't tell Hunt that we were going or that we were meeting grandma there so it was a surprise. He was excited to see her and screamed some when he saw her coming over to help him out of the Tahoe. It was cute. He later told me..."I guess grandma wanted McDonald's to"! Such a cutie! I had to tell him that I knew she was coming, but didn't want to tell him because I wanted it to be a surprise.

The 16th we went to the Fort Worth Stock Show with our great friends Kelley, Ken, Stephanie, Nick and James. We had a nice time and the weather wasn't bad at all! Which if you live here in Fort Worth is good news! It is ALWAYS very cold and possibly ice and rain during the Stock Show. But it was a nice sunny day and not too cold. Hunt started to have a melt down towards the end though, so I'm sure our friends will never want to go anywhere with us again! So friends, if you still read my blog, and are reading this we are so sorry for his behavior! And hope that you will still want to hang out with our crazy, heathen, whiny bunch again!
Anywhoo-here are some of the photos I took of our day.

Look at this look! What a toot!


My baby boy turns 5 next Wednesday on February 3rd! F-I-V-E! 5! Good gracious! Already 5! Oh why does time have to fly by SO fast?!!! (sniff sniff)
He has decided to have a Monster Truck theme birthday party. And we're having it at Putt Putt on the 6th. So we've got all the plates, napkins, cups and goodies that we need. And I've almost got the favor/goody bags ready. I'll have to post a pic of the bags and favors. Hunt wanted to invite his friends from school and of course our family to.
We've ordered a cake from one of our favorite bakeries, Texas Star Bakery. Their cakes are so AWESOME! And they do such a good job on the decorating to. This time the cake is suppose to look like a Monster Truck arena with 2 monster trucks and some crunched cars. I can't wait to see it!
Some gifts that he will be getting are talking woody and buzz dolls, legos, a couple of monster trucks on the cake and one wrapped up and army men. These are things that he said that he wants. And maybe a cash register. He has been mentioning it alot. AND...Daddy got Hunt some tickets to the Monster Jams show! He's going to love it! He'll get to have a guys day with daddy! I'm not however looking forward to the daily task of having to tell him that today is not the day or not yet. Because I know he will be asking us EVERY DAY until the 27th of February, when they go.
Wednesday I plan on bringing cupcakes to his school to celebrate his day. I discovered last week that that was the day they had planned on going to Let's Jump. A jump house place. So I'll be bringing them there. I plan on going and watching Hunt and his school friends have fun!
Here are some photos of Hunt's party invitations. We found them at a party store and HAD to add our special touches. I let Hunt roll a tire track stamp across the cards and envelopes and I glued a flag to each one that I made out of cut tooth picks and ribbon. Hunt also wrote his name on all of them and I let him write his classmates names on theirs.
before...

and after...


I made this flower hair do-hicky to match this dress. It turned out ok, but next time I'll do it different I think. This is about as much crafting/sewing that I've had time to do.





I had to take Miss Em to the Dr. on Jan 27th. Poor little babe had an ear infection. I knew the night before that she wasn't feeling well. We were up and down ALL night long...until about 4am. So I made an appointment and we headed to see Dr Coutoumanos. Em got medicine and seems to be feeling fine since then. Oh and she weighed in at 14.4!
Hunt has had a bit of a runny nose to, but has been ok for a couple days now. Now mama has a stuffed up AND runny nose(still not sure how this happens)and 2 days with a sore throat. Ughhhh! At least the throat has felt better!

So I hope to be back sometime later next week(toward the end)with photos of the school birthday cupcakes and jump house.

Until then...
