Train Ride

Yes we go on the train a lot and yes our son is obsessed with trains but we love him and love to see him so happy! so focused can't even say cheese
we are on a bridge, daddy and Austin are looking at all of the things around them

Andrew is all tuckered out

Austin reliving the train ride

What a great day!

And a special thanks to the Walker family who bought the tickets from Groupon but they unfortunately couldn't make it and gave the tickets to us!

Spooner Farms

I love where we live, within minutes we can be at a real farm and our kids can see how pumpkins grow and see farm animals. We went to Spooner farms and had Andrew dress up as a pumpkin.

Me and my sweet boys

Where are Austin and daddy?
Such a happy pumpkin

Daddy and his boy (yes this is Washington weather but at least we didn't get rained on)

Our sweet family

Austin insisted on wearing his rain boots and good thing he did because he saw those puddles and yelled JUMP!!!

We also said hello to our friend the Turkey, gobble gobble gobble!

They also had rubber duck races. We got wet but it was well worth all of the squeals of delight from Austin.

Happy 4th Anniversary to us!

4 years ago he asked, I said yes! 4 years ago we married at the right place (San Diego LDS temple) to the right person, my sweet heart. 4 years ago we began an adventure together and it has been a busy one with many ups and some downs. Through it all we are the best of friends, partners and love each other very much. Happy Anniversary!

Brothers

Any time Austin does something around Andrew his face lights up. They make each other laugh which is contagious in our house. They have become fast friends and hopefully some day the best of friends.

The Dentist

We went to our bi-annual check-up and passed with flying colors. Austin loves it there. They have a carousal, train table and a variety of games for them to plat with. Austin did a great job getting all 20 teeth cleaned
all pearly white!

Excuse the mess, art is being made

We attempted stamping with different objects like bell peppers, toilet rolls and stamps. It sure was messy but lots of fun!

Austin's magic trick

had a FAIRly good time

This past Thursday we went to the fair as a family. My awesome neighbors got us in or free. Pam won us tickets and Kelly won us free parking, I know I say this all the time but my neighbors are awesome. We had fun sampling all of the different types of food
Austin loves corn

We also visited all of the animals

he loved petting the goats too

What a great family night out!

Yup he also likes to bounce

He's a swinger baby, yay! (In the voice of Austin Power's)

I think its safe to say someone enjoyed their first time on the swings

Hailey

Hailey is the newest addition to our day. I watch her for my friend and neighbor during the day. She is a great addition to our day. Her and Austin have become fast friends. Not only is she a great helper but is a good example for Austin on how a "big kid" talks and acts. Since she has been here Austin has potty trained himself, his vocabulary has soared and enjoys having a buddy around to play with every day!

Just another day at the Hunter's

My boys finishing their lunch

Finger Painting

We were trying out our new finger paint. Although it wasn't as vibrant on paper he loved playing with his fingers in the paint.

"Look Mom!"
He loves painting

Finger Paint

Also tried my hand at home made finger paint put it into jars and added
food coloring and walla! Finger paint! haven't tried it yet but I will post

pictures soon of our artwork!

Play Doh Fun!!!!

I was feeling kind of crafty and tried my hand at making homemade play-doh with the help of a utube video and an 8 year old showing me how to do it. I figured if she could, I could too! Not too shabby for my first time
Austin had so much fun playing. He kept saying dough, dough!

and the next day we invited of some friends to try it out. They all had so much fun.

They were so proud of all of their creations.

Here is Luke with his green snake

Cheap fun, gotta love it!

Neighbors

Not only have we moved into the best neighborhood, into the best house but we happened to move next to the best neighbor who has turned into an Auntie for my kids and one of my very best friends. We share, text, laugh and occassionally cry but through it all its nice to have a great mommy friend to go through it all with :-)

Video Cuteness

We have been trying to get Andrew to practice crawling and since he loves eating we figured this would help give him some motivation to move

Austin is OBSESSED with trains!
