A Day of Accomplishment!

Okay, so today, I FINALLY ordered our wedding photos. You have no idea how good that feels....I feel like I have conquered the world!! And ironically, on the same day, we received Hunter's one year proofs! I really thought I would have the wedding photos ordered before our first child's first birthday...but I didn't. You can take a look at Hunter's proofs at www.wbpics.com and click on Hunter Johnson...the password is Hunter. They are super cute (a true mother speaking)! I would give you the link to our wedding photos; however they expired 3 years ago.....

So we have a climber....

Brian was climbing out of his crib before he was one, and I was found on top of the frig. So, why would I be surprised to find Hunter in various places most one year olds shouldn't be able to get?? He has been climbing on top of our very tall king sized bed for awhile and I really thought that would be the extent of it....but boy was I wrong. Seriously, I turn my back for one second and it's all over. I got a couple shots of his most recent climbing adventures; yes, that is him on top of his changing table. He was just checkin out the picture of 'baby' Hunter. And yes, he is on top of the tray of his high chair; Alastair was eating, and evidently Hunter couldn't wait to play, so he just thought he'd go on up and join him! The second one is just a cute picture I took of him the other day while playing outside (this was taken when he wasn't picking the blooms off my mums). Oh, and I also had to throw in a picture of a proud Mama (ME) and her baby boy...which are rare. Even though he's not looking at the camera, I'll take what I can get....I'm not picky. Most of you mom's can probably relate, as we are usually the one's capturing those Kodak moments.

How cute are my boys??

The Wild Man is ONE!

Hunter's first birthday is today....I can't believe it's been a whole year. I never realized how time flies until I had him. We celebrated last night in the back yard with family and friends. It was a beautiful night, and we had a great time. Hunter had a blast; even though he had no idea what was going on, and he was wondering why everyone was singing to him! But, of course, he still managed to show off and grabbed the wick of the candle while it was still lit. No worries, though, because it didn't bother the little tough man a bit. He just went ahead and dove into the cupcake. He is quite the party animal...I don't know where he gets that?!?! Happy Birthday, baby Hunter!! We love you!!

Riding the 4-wheeler the Shore's got him while it's still in the box!

The moment I pulled this monkey out of the bag, he was giving him kisses!

The morning after...rough night.

Riding his 4-wheeler, and it plays a really awesome song over and over and over and over....thanks Shore's!

When I wasn't looking, daddy was letting him lick the bowls while I was making cupcakes!

The Family!

My beautiful niece Ellie Jane.

REALLY?? As if he doesn't look ornery enough...

Yesterday morning I had to attend a funeral, so Hunter was in the hands of my dear friends Stacy and Cheryl. And this is what I came home to. Even with hardly any nap (Cheryl says she didn't wake him up, she just needed to check his breathing. Please, even I am way past that stage) he was wound for sound. He was SO hyper, squealing at the top of his lungs and crawling all over the place. Thanks for the laugh, guys, it was needed!

Bye, Bye, Friends!!

Priceless

As Brian worked on our deck this weekend, I was able to capture this moment of my little boy watching his hero in amazement...

BIRTHDAY---Round 1

Well, Hunter is a special boy. So, special he will have more than one birthday party! And he had his first one tonight! My dad always has to leave this time of year for Florida for work, and is gone for quite awhile. This time last year he drove all night, just to make it here for Hunter's birth. Sorry, dad, I'll have to plan the next one alittle earlier in the year! He didn't want to miss out on the birthday fun, so we celebrated alittle early with Nana, Poppy, GG, Grandpa Johnson, and the neighbors! And, of course, our little Hunter was in rare form.

Hanging out on GG's lap

WOW!

For those of you who don't know, Hunter is totally obsessed with the word 'hot'. He says it no less than 5,000 times a day, and really he thinks everything is hot, but he learned this is the true meaning of HOT!

Mmmmm......

I can't believe it's been a whole year....
