Take me out to .....

Hunter's first baseball game!

We had a blast, free visors, cracker jacks, garlic fries.... does it get any better? Well, if they had won.. yah... haha
Nonetheless we had a great time with great company. Our parents and our family all had a good time. Bedtimes and fussy Hunter led to leaving early, overall though we had a great time.

Hunter and Phil

Awww it's a family picture!
Special thanks to Mimi and Pop-pop for taking the picture and to Nonnie and Papa for the tickets.

Aunt Jessica

Aunt Jessica came out and met Hunter for the first time, so of course we had to take pictures... which isn't so hard since they are both so very photogenic!
Jade however was camera shy that day :(

This one is my favorite picture from that day...




Now to get to Florida to see that brother of mine....
<3

A walk on the beach

A beautiful day out here demands a day at the beach...


It was Hunter's first time at the beach and he loved it.

Jade all smiles and Hunter too focused on the water to look away.


Jade was having a great time, until she decided she was cold.... however cold she was, leaving the kelp at the beach was a hard thing for her to do.

Tap, clunk, tap, tap, clunk

The morning rays were shining through the slats on the blinds and there was that one ray of morning light that was sneaking through hitting what was once my closed eyes. I laid there looking up at the ceiling, wondering what to do today.... I glanced over Hunter was asleep.
I was suddenly aware of this noise... lying there I was mentally trying to figure out what exactly was making that noise. There was this tap, clunk, tap, tap, clunk

I listened again, the noise persisted. I got up and went to the living room.. nothing, went and looked in the bathroom, nothing. It seemed too early for Jade to be up, I looked in her room. A moment of panic struck me as I didn't find her lying in bed. I looked at the closet it was closed still. I went and looked in the living room, she wasn't there, the front door was still locked.
I heard her snickering, got the camera and went back to her room.
Low and behold using my mom super powers and thinking like a 3 year old, I took a picture of where I believed her to be.... like a lioness on the hunt, I crouched low and waited... it would only be a matter of time...

Nearly two minutes later....


Quickly she closed the door and giggled...
I knocked on the door , she asked "who is it?" and laughed.
I asked her if I could come in. Opening the door, she replied, "silly mommy you're too big." Amazed she turned around in there I took another picture.

She had put all the food in the freezer section of her toy refrigerator. I love the company my Nana sends gifts to her from, they think of kids in everything! The noise I heard was because she kept trying to close the door behind her but it wouldn't stay closed because of the safety things on the refrigerator.... all in all a fun, crazy morning....

Buddies

Jade loves being a big sister and nothing shows it better than this picture.... My new desktop :D




Corban and Ruthie came over to play the other day, and they all had a blast together...
The girls are soo cute together... as you can see Jade was disturbed to stop playing for a second to take a picture... while Ruth was only to happy to oblige.

Group picture!
Jade, Corban and Ruth -


"Let's make funny faces" said Corban
haha ~ This picture makes me laugh every time!
