get well soon...

~November 18, 2009~

Well, we're still in our funk... we've been cooped up at home again the last 2 days.

Hunt still has the cough(only scratchy-er sounding now) and still a sore throat. So we missed the library story time yesterday and school today.

The morning was spent in mama and daddy's room on the bed...
Watching The Indian In The Cupboard on mama's laptop...


It's really a cute movie for boys(girls to). With the exception of a few parts. I enjoy watching it myself.

Reading books...


Even playing a few rounds of goldfish...


Emma didn't mind hanging out there either. She was enjoying her sleep sack I made her before she was born, until...mama started taking too many pictures...



We did make it out of the bedroom to eat lunch, do a little more on our Thanksgiving
lapbook and make a toilet paper roll turkey...




Then had some lunch and was sure to fill Hunt up on these...

The more vitamin C the better!

And here's what happens when you send daddy into the store to get more medicine...

I guess we're covered for several illnesses now. Better too much than not enough!

It's so cute...right now Emma is sitting in a bouncer beside me and we are playing mama cover me up and I'll kick the blanket off. Then you cover me back up and we'll see how long it takes to kick them off again! She's quick too...what a kicker! She's down to 6 seconds! And she even has a snicker on her face. She knows what she's doing! Little tooter!!!

Here's to hoping everyone else stays well...

Hunt woke up not feeling well. He said that his throat was hurting and he still had a cough that carried over from yesterday. Although yesterday it wasn't as bad. So I kept him home from school and gave out some medicine. I cancelled my Dr's appointment and we just hung out at home. I'm hoping that Miss E doesn't start feeling under the weather also. Trying to keep big brother out of her face and reminding him to cover his mouth is proving to be a tire-some task.

Our little man was a bit of a toot yesterday...maybe due to him feeling a little sickish more today. Sometimes he does that. Acts a little more wilder or misbehaves more than usual if he's about to start to feel bad. Anyway, yesterday hubs mentioned he wanted to go to Lowe's. But instead of saying it he spelled it out to me. You know what I'm talking about parents. We've all done it! Something like..."after lunch I'm G-O-I-N-G to L-O-W-E-S". So I replied with "O-K-A-Y". Hunt then asked where daddy was going. Hubs just said to the store. To which Hunt says..."well then H-U-N-T-E-R for me!" Silly boy! He just had to be in the conversation and knew he needed to spell something to do so.

see you next round...

Where did the weekend go?

Gone before we knew it that's for sure!

We didn't even do much.
We did have a nice dinner Saturday with great friends Steph and Nick. We meet at Hard Eight in Coppell and enjoyed more meat than we could eat. Afterwards we all ran over to Bass Pro Shops-Outdoor World. Just to look around a bit. Such a nice time! Hunt and Emma both behaved pretty good to!

Sunday we made a trip to Lowe's for some Christmas lights and odds and ends. Then It was dinner with Ken and Kel. Had another nice evening!

Aren't good friends just great!!!

Here's to a good week ahead!...

a nine pounder...

~November 11, 2009~




Emma had a check up appointment yesterday with Dr.Coutoumanos. She's up to 9 pounds and 22 1/2 inches. And everything is going good! YAY!
She actually smiled at me today! Oh how sweet it was! I guess it could have been just gas, but I like to think it wasn't. My sweet little girl.
She had a rough time today though. Kept waking up and could not rest good. Of course Big Brother was home(due to the holiday)and didn't help much!


Daddy came home yesterday from hunting. He didn't have any luck. But that's ok, he had a nice time. He got in around noon just after we arrived back home from story time at the library.

And an add on to the other days entry about the pooping cat candy dispenser...Hunt had the cat pooping money this morning! He was just a laughing!!! Now that's what I'm talking about! A cat that pays for itself! Even if it was just a dime! Oh...little boys!!!

That's it for today...

Not a whole lot going on...
Hunt and I have been working on some file folder games and lapbooks. We'll post about them and add photos when they are complete.

We had lunch with Grandma and Aunt Misty and the Cousins Saturday since the guys were out of town hunting. It was a nice time and the kiddos behaved pretty well.
After lunch Hunt, Emma and I made a trip to Toys R Us. I told Hunt if he was good at school last week that he could take the money Great Aunt Leona gave him and pick something out. He chose an old army truck with 2 men. It was neat, but not made well for his 4 year old hands. It's totally plastic. We'll see how long it lasts.

Sunday was cousin Jonathan's birthday. He had a party at Incredible Pizza. We had never been there. It was a cool place. Sort of like a Chuck E Cheese, but geared more toward older kids and teens(in my opinion). They still had games and rides that Hunt's age could play and do. They also had go karts, mini bowling and mini golf. Plus the food was way better than Chuck E's...and it's buffet! Not only do they have pizza and a salad bar, they have other food items and soups as well. And many type of deserts to. Hunt had a good time of course! So this may be a thought to keep in mind for an up-coming birthday!

Daddy comes home tomorrow from hunting. It will be nice to have him home again. We all missed him!

Oh and...Thanks Grandma for the pooping cat candy dispenser you gave Hunt on Halloween. He now wants to try other treats in it...sunflower seeds and a toy G.I. Joe gun. Not sure how they would feel coming out. I know...gross huh?! But I have to say he made me laugh talking about it.

a month...already!...

~November 5, 2009~




Oh my goodness!

Can you believe it has already been a month since our little baby girl joined us?!
ONE WHOLE MONTH!
I'm amazed at how fast time flies sometimes!!!
She's been smiling a lot and started cooing and making small noises. And is as strong as an ox. She lifts her head all the time and scoots around the bed some. She'll be chasing her brother in no time..hahaha!
We go to the pediatrician on Tuesday. I'm hoping that everything is well and anxious to see what her weight is.






Happy ONE month birthday Little Emma!We love you SO VERY much!!!!


Early this morning around 5:15 Hunt came into our bedroom. Daddy was getting ready for work and I was feeding Emma. So daddy told him to lay down by Emma and myself, and shortly after he feel asleep. Later that morning after he awoke I asked him why he came in our room. He told me that a scarecrow was in his room. He said the scarecrow turned it's head and just looked at him. I asked Hunt what he said and Hunt told me that scarecrows don't talk! So I asked him what he was wearing(I'm always into the details if he can remember them from his dreams). He told me that he was wearing green overalls and a green hat. That was about all the details he could give me.
But at nap time Hunt told me that he wanted me to put a lock on his door. I asked him why and he said so that the scarecrow couldn't get in!...DUHHHH!!!! Kiddos as so funny!!!!!

Hunting season starts this weekend so you can guess where hubs will be. He took off from Friday through all of next week. I'm worried that Hunt will be disappointed at not getting to go with daddy to the deer lease. Poor little guy is still too active and loud for daddy to take him. Maybe next year(more like the year after)my little man can join the older men and partake in this family tradition.
Good Luck hunting hubs, have fun and most of all be safe!

Just some silly pictures of us playing around with some of Hunt's Halloween toys...





Have a great day!

some family...

~November 4,2009~

Miss Emma got to meet more family! Sunday we visited with an aunt, uncles and cousins. Because of sickness she had yet to meet my aunt, an uncle and cousins from my mom's side of the family. It was nice to see them all! They all had gifts for Emma! She got more cute clothes and goodies from them as well as some money.




We tried a new burger restaurant Sunday, Twisted Root. I had a bacon cheese burger and hubs had an buffalo burger. We both agreed that the were good! Twisted Root also makes hamburgers with ostrich, venison and boar to. Give em a try!

Hunt got a few popcorn balls in his Halloween goodies. Here he is giving one a try...


He has never tried one before. And I have to say it was no where close to being as good as homemade ones!!!
