Playing in the water and Nonni and Poppy's

These are in reverse order, but the other night, while at Nonni and Poppy's, Hunter and Ellie got ahold of the hose. It was pretty cute, and Hunter was SOAKED. They both had so much fun!!

Stealing candy out of 'Nonni's pretties' (he's not suppose to touch them) Does he look ornery or what?

Ellie had a clip in her hair, and Hunter needed one, too!

Ellie's losing all her teeth!! She's getting so BIG!

Ellie picking on her little cousin!!

Easter at Nana (Nonni) and Poppy's

Here are some Easter pics...alittle late, sorry. Just haven't had much time to sit around and blog. When Hunter first started talking, he always referred to my mom as Nana...just as my niece does; however, one day, a few months ago, he started calling her Nonni! We don't know where he came up with it or why, he just did. So, now my mom has two names....Nana and Nonni...it's not confusing at all!!

So, Hunter just came walking up to me like this.....

Cardinals Game!!

We had a ton of fun celebrating Annie's 26th birthday at the Springfield Cardinals Game!! My brothers were also able to meet up with us....we had an awesome time!!

Good Morning, Cash!!!

Hunter thought Cash might want alittle chicken broth for breakfast....who could say 'no' to this sweet face?!?!?

Toys, Ice, and our idiot dog...

Why does our American Bulldog prefer to sleep in our Westie's bed?? We, unfortunatly, don't know the answer to that question.

Who knew, on a hot sunny day, a bowl of ice could entertain 2 toddlers for more than 30 minutes??? AWESOME!!

Daddy and Hunter's newest toy!!!

Okay, so this might not exactly be 'safe'.

WOW…so we ate horribly today!

I know I’ve said this before, but recently I truly have notice how fast Hunter is growing up. And today, I very unintentionally spoiled him!! One thing I really pride myself on, is the fact that ALMOST always I offer Hunter three very healthy meals a day….I try to cover all four (or however many there are these days) food groups! But today was different….MUCH different. For whatever reason, last night at the grocery store, donuts were calling my name. This morning there were some left over, and I don’t want (need) to eat them, so I fed one to Hunter, and he thought it was AMAZING! Then I gave him some grapes to justify my poor decision! We ran some errands and I made a quick stop thru McDonald’s drive-thru and got him some chicken nuggets. Thinking I would feed them to him on our way home, we made one last stop to The Sugar Loft to order a cake. The girls in there thought Hunter was adorable, and well, he is…so they wanted to know if the could give him a cookie. Sure, why not?? Not thinking it was going to be the BIGGEST Snickerdoodle I’ve ever seen…and THE BEST! So we left, cupcakes in tow (they were too cute to pass up), I strapped him in his car seat, ready to feed him his chicken nuggets and I looked back and he was OUT. That cookie must have been delicious because he slept for 3 hrs!! He woke up eager to go outside to play, so we did. Then we came in for dinner…and well, we HAD to try the cupcakes!!! In my defense, he did eat ½ of a turkey sandwich before the cupcakes. Then, once again, I gave him some organic grapes and granola to justify it!! I’m pretty sure today I broke EVERY rule about teaching your child healthy eating habits…but oh well…Hunter sure thought his mom was pretty cool!! Back to reality tomorrow….

He was telling me "Moey" which ="More" in Hunter's language

Almost too cute to eat!

SOOO BIG!!

Playing in dirt...such a boy

When he is outside, it's almost impossible to get his attention long enough to snap a picture. This was my best attempt!
