Playing in the pool!

We went to Oregon City's swimming pool and they have an outside wading pool that is free. Hunter loved it I think he thought it was a big bathtub. He laughed, happy screamed, smiled, giggled and splashed! He had a great time. We didn't stay long cause we had dinner plans but it is nice to know that this pool is just a block away! I didn't get in the pool this time but I will next time. I just took 44 pictures instead! His bruises are finally all almost gone so he is looking alot better.

Journal Blog

Sorry everyone I have been bad at blogging and taking pictures. Been busy with the boys and keeping the house in order or trying to and I haven't taken my camera out at all. Last Thurdsday, Hunter took a tumble down our front porch cement stairs outside and got a lovely dinosaur egg on his head. He is still healing and bruising from it so I haven't taken any pics of him cause of it and he has been so active and in to everything now he has a bruise on his cheek and back of his head. His legs are bruised and scraped from playing outside. Needless to say we have been hanging low and not visiting people cause it looks like we don't take care of him but we do he is just ALL boy! He is still cutting teeth and I think he has for about a month now been drooling non-stop and warm to the touch and taking long naps and going down early. Poor little man is just growing like a weed!

We had a great father's day. Misha, Hunter, and I got up early (cause we were on Hunter's early am schedule on Sunday) and went to Starbucks and got Larry some coffee and breakfast and delivered it to him in bed and he got to sleep in some. We went hiking with the dogs and family at Molalla State Park and it was a beautiful day to celebrate Larry's 2nd Father's Day! Your the best dad ever Lar! Your boy LOVES you so much and you can tell everyday cause he wants to do everything with you! Thanks for being such an awesome dad!

So that is pretty much it for now. I will try to take some pictures soon. Hope everyone is well and enjoy the sun when it comes out and blesses us with its presence!

Hanging out with my 15 MONTH OLD little man on a tuesday!

The doctor I work for has been on vacation so he comes back tomorrow (wednesday) so he wanted me there so today is my wednesday. I vegged with Hunter in the am we took an am nap together my mother came over for a little bit so I could shower and now Hunter is down for his pm nap. He was feeling warm so I hope he just has a fever from his teeth will see how the rest of the day goes. These are pics I took today since I haven't taken any in awhile. I was telling him to smile and these are what I got. He was laying on our floor talking and posing for me and drooling (from the new teeth coming in?). He is such a cutie! We razored his hair this weekend again so he is looking all clean and not shaggy. It is amazing how fast his hair grows! I also can't believe he is 15 months old! His big day was yesterday! Time seriously flies when you have kids! Time needs to slow down sometimes! Well I better download so I can join him in his nap! Hope everyone is staying dry! What is up with our weather! Happy tuesday everyone!

Random Pics from the weekend

Sorry everyone I have just been lazy in the blog dept. I had to work late on Monday and Tuesday I just went to bed early and the weekend I just vegged, slept when Hunter slept and went to the zoo with the boys.

After Hunter's am nap he likes to sit on his dad's lap and watch him play WOW cause he knows that Larry will be at the computer when he wakes up. He is eating his snack (it is in the yellow bowl) and chillin on Lar's lap. We were off to the zoo after snack time!

This was our second attempt to make it to the zoo on a Saturday and we have learned that it doesn't matter the parking lot will be full and you got to take the shuttle. The shuttle are school buses. We stood in a long line for awhile finally got on and made it to the zoo. It probably took us 45 minutes to achieve this. The zoo was fun we saw the bears and monkey's. We still haven't done the train ride that will be for another time. Hunter liked it more this time I think. He kinda knew he had to look at stuff cause we were pointing alot more. His eyes got really big when the seal lions swam by. He liked them. These are pics of him on the way back from the zoo we caught a bus just as we were leaving and we were the only ones in it! He has his pacifer in cause we were very close to his nap time. He was a trooper he didn't fall asleep in the car cause we kept him awake so he would sleep in his crib and he did! It was a fun day! The last pic was taken by a grounds keeper guy he asked if we wanted our pic taken. I of course look like death cause my contacts would not go in so I had to wear my glasses and it was sunny so I had to wear my hat! Hunter did not want to be held so that is why we have weird faces. Hope everyone is well!

Memorial Day weekend!

It was a nice time hanging with the boys from Friday to Monday! We had a good time of resting and vegging. Hunter and I did not get strep! Yeah! We hypernated at home on Friday and Saturday went and did errands finished projects and rested! Sunday we visited family and I got to meet Larry's Uncle from Ohio. He is very nice and looks alot like Lonnie. Monday, we vegged at home and had dinner early at 6 which is rare here so we had time to kill before putting little dude down so we went and visited my dad. Hunter was all over the place at his house he was in his full gotta touch everything mood. I didn't take many pics on these days until Monday. Crazy I know. On Monday, I had cleared up the laundry room and organized my shelving unit and the boys went to go get storage boxes for me while I piled everything on the kitchen table while they went. Hunter loves the laundry room so I had to keep him out so I could walk back and forth with all my junk so the boys going to the store was a way to accomplish this. Here are pics of Hunter playing with the bins. Of course the cats had to be a part. I had plastic easter eggs that were in the laundry room mess so I put them in the bin with him. He loved it! The other pics are of him playing with his toys. His new thing is to walk with two things at once. He gets frustrated when they dont' go the way he wants them to go. Total boy!

Day 2: Who else will get strep?

I think that Hunter and I have great immune systems! We still don't have strep! Yeah! Hunter still was cranky and slept long naps but maybe it is just his 4 teeth coming in. We had a nice day today. This morning we went to a coffee shop at the end of the hill than played at a park that is across the street. After Hunter's am nap we tried to go to the zoo for the second half of the zoo that we haven't seen but we had to be detoured because the parking lot was full and the shuttle was at the next exit so we drove on. I finally finished pulling weeds and planting my last three plants in the ground. I did some scrapbooking and journaling in some books that I got from family. Larry put up stuff on the wall that I have been asking him to do. So I got alot of projects done that I have been trying to get done the last few weeks. I didn't take any pics today just wasn't in the mood I guess.

Day 1: Who else will get strep?

So far Hunter and I don't have strep! Yeah! But Hunter took two 3 hour naps today and he has been cranky! He drank 20 oz of his bottle between naps! Thirsty dude! And went to bed early to his second nap cause he was cranky! Signs of strep? Not sure! Larry didn't have a fever and Hunter doesn't either! I slept 2 of the 3 hours of both naps so I am getting my much needed rest! But no sore throat here. I got my haircut! Finally! No more shag! Yeah! That is all I have done today. Slept, play with the boys, get haircut, and sleep more! Nice relaxful day! Will see what the evening brings! Last night Hunter woke up screaming at 1 am and ended up sleeping in our bed (which is a first) and feel asleep around 4 am that is why I napped so well today. Hope tonight is not a repeat if so Hunter is going in to Urgent care for a strep check tomorrow! Hope you all had a great friday!

Busy week!

I haven't had a chance to blog all week sorry everyone! It has been a busy week! Here are some pics of our week! Larry and Hunter went swimming in the big pool! Hunter stayed in a little longer this time but still wasn't to sure about it.

Hunter got a buzz cut haircut! With a razor we bought for home no more spending money on haircuts! We used a size 5 since that is what other friends had told us they use on their little guys and it is very short but he looks cute! We haven't seen this much forehead since he was born! His hair is actually turning red! It is strawberry blonde right now! His eyebrows are turning red too! This is him the next day taking a bath! He has a bruise on his forehead from some fall. He is such a boy and has bruises to prove it! Sorry about the nakedness!

This wednesday my mother had her retirement celebration at CCC! She has worked there 30 years and retires July 1st. Congrats Mother! She didn't know that I was coming to see her speech cause the program started at 2pm and Hunter goes down for his nap at 1pm. So she wasn't expecting me but her friend gave me the scoop of the time and place of where it was being held. Larry was able to get the afternoon off to watch Hunter while he slept and I went to the program. She was very suprised and didn't expect me at all. It was a nice program! Congrats Mother for working so hard and hope retirement is alot of fun! Here is her giving her speech. Kinda dark sorry I didn't get any close ups.

Larry actually wasn't feeling good tuesday night he had a sore throat and a bad headache. So he slept while Hunter slept when I went to CCC. He wasn't feeling any better this morning so he saw the doctor I work for and he has strep! I tell you Larry is a walking bacteria! Larry and I both took of tomorrow (friday) cause daycare is closed. Larry's Uncle from Ohio is coming over for a visit and flies in tonight. Larry and I were gonna go to the Zoo and finish the second part but now that Larry is sick and contagious we are gonna hang low. So that has been my week. Swimming, haircuts, retirement suprises, and strep! Hope everyone elses is going well! This last picture is our secret lovers! Larry took it today when he was home. Misha and Kramer slept by each other for over an hour! We always knew the loved each other they just don't show it all the time! Cross your fingers that Hunter and I don't get strep!

Playing around!

Hunter likes to ride in his lego bus. It is not meant for him to ride in but he does cause that is what boys do! He is gettng to be such a ham! I actually got some cute smiling pictures out of him! He is so handsome! We are gonna buzz his hair today so well see what he looks like after that! His hair grows so fast I can't keep up with it and get it professionally done so were gonna try to save money and do it ourselves! Cross your fingers that it comes out ok! I also figured out that I wasn't using the bigger setting for these pics so now you get bigger pics! Yeah!

Mr. Joe Cool

We got Hunter some shades and he looks very cool in them!

Playing in the pool!

Larry picked up Hunter early on friday cause Annie and Lonnie had to go to a wedding. Lar cleaned up Misha's old pool and put on Hunter's trunks and he had a great time in the pool! Lar said his hair looked red in the sun! Oh no! I think his hair is gonna be strawberry-blonde when it is all done trying to figure out what color to be!

Fun day!

Larry had a sleep study test last night and he took Wednesday off just in case he didn't get much sleep from being wired up. He ended up with a C-PAP machine. Poor guy! He said that the tech's told him he woke up or stopped breathing 55 times in 2 1/2 hours! So they woke him up and put the machine on him and he slept like a rock until 6:30am! They were gonna wake him up at 6 but he was in such a deep REM sleep that they didn't want to bug him. So now we have a machine! I hope I can get some sleep with it! I will keep you posted! Since Larry was home we had been talking about going to the Zoo for awhile! We just wanted to go just the two of us with Hunter for his first trip to the Zoo! I had to wake up Hunter from his am nap because he was already sleeping 3 hours and it was already 11! We had to hit the road cause he had a doctor's appt at 3:15 for bum skin issues! So we were Zoo bound!

We are at the zoo! He is so excited to go packing! This is him before we went inside the zoo!

Two bald eagles. Sorry about the picture being so dark!

Looking at fish

Not sure what this is but it was in a old wood stove

Nice kitty!

Took a break for lunch and to get out of the pack

Elephants were next!

Watching the elephants!

We didn't see all of the zoo we will go back another day. We had to head to Canby for his doctor's appt and he took a short nap in the car. Poor guy only got an hour nap and we kept him up the rest of the day. After dinner we went and took Misha to Clackamette Park and did some more packing! Misha wanted to chase after the ducks in the water but realized she is short. That was our Wednesday! We had a nice and fun time and it was the perfect weather to go to the zoo!
