Silver Dollar City

Saturday we spent a fun-filled day with friends at Silver Dollar City! There were 4 couples, and we all have one boy and they are all under the age of 15 months (Hunter is the oldest). As soon as we parked our car, Hunter was running over to the boy in the car next to us, fell and skinned his nose. And so our life goes with boys....we better get used to it! He looks like Rudolf...quite festive actually! I'm not sure there was any single moment that we weren't changing diapers, feeding babies, or listening to the soft (or at times VERY loud...usually our kid) moans of a cry. But, this is our life for now...and we love every moment of it. I'm sure it won't be too long before we are off to our next adventure with all the BOYS again! We had a great time, and here are some photos of our day...note we NEVER got a picture of the entire group. Go figure!

Of course one stroller is missing!

We very randomly ran into my niece ELLIE!

Laguna Beach, CA

A couple of weeks ago, Brian came home and said he was leaving on a ski trip the NEXT day....surprise! So, Hunter and I booked a flight and headed out to Laguna Beach, CA to visit some friends...we weren't going to be left out of the FUN! We had a great time, and Hunter had his first official trip to the ocean. He thought it was great! Since it was my first time flying alone with him (interesting and exhausting), I chose not to add the big camera to the mix of the suitcase, stroller, car seat, purse, etc. So, the first few pictures are really good (they were taken with Sarah's camera, and if you follow the Brenon Bunch blog you've already seen these) and the rest didn't turn out too great since they are from a throw-away camera. I didn't even know those still existed! I'm kidding. I'm just really spoiled with our awesome camera. I love to have great pictures, so I won't be leaving this behind anymore!! Enjoy....

Most kids his age are terrified of him, but Hunter gladly sat on Santa's lap

Showing us that he had sand in his mouth! It was pretty much EVERYWHERE!

They were too funny together

On our way back to the car after eating sand, we had to totally strip him down since, like I said before, sand was EVERYWHERE.

Random

Okay, so, I have a TON of photos this post. They got out of order somehow when I uploaded them; but, I'm sure you can figure them out. Some are random, some are from Halloween, some are from Brian and Hunter's Gorilla night(hilarious, by the way, I'm sure you had to be there, though), and some are from today. It was a GREAT fall day to bundle up and play outside, so that's just what we did....

"Hot"---for some reason he thought the bird bath was hot?!?!

Our little Russian

He looks so old here :(

Adorable

Hunter and Daddy playing "Gorillas" ...and I wonder where he gets his energy???

Yes, he is this wild in person

Alistair and Hunter...they are like brothers...it's so cute!

Rainbow Bright and baby Godzilla!

Thing 1 and Thing2

You try to get a 2 month old, 10 month old, and 13 month old to pose for a picture.

Hunter voted....did you??

Our entertainment....

His "good butt" jeans

Bath water tastes delicious

Brushing his teeth

Photos from the previous week....

Helping MOM cook dinner tonight!

BUSTED!

I gave him this whisk and he took it everywhere he went...easily entertained!!

We have to lock the bathroom door, b/c Hunter thinks it's great to play in the toilet....sick, I know. So, the other day he found a key somewhere and went over to the bathroom door, put the key up to the handle and was 'trying' to unlock it!! It's amazing how smart they really are.

The little caterpillar! He and Brian were playing in the pillows! It was hilarious! Hunter thought it was GREAT!

Clinging to me while I was cooking dinner tonight! Poor little guy doesn't feel well at all!

This weekend we took a long weekend and headed down to Dallas to visit Brian's sister and family. We had a great time, and Hunter was awesome. He'd had some sniffles and a cough, and I thought it must be allergies; but, when we got back to MO it was much worse...so today, being the overly paranoid first-time mother that I am, I took him to the DR. I guess the motherly instinct was right, b/c he has a double ear-infection. He's been running a pretty high temp and been so pitiful...so Brian and I pretty much let him do whatever he wanted tonight...within reason! We got some cute pictures....
