Little Helper

Here is a video of Hunter "helping" with the movies...dont mind my gasp at the end...it's normal! :)

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Yesterday was Jeremy's birthday! We had some friends over for homemade pizza and lemon meringue pie (one of Jeremy's faves). I have decided that I will stick with store bought pizza dough- its just easier. :) Anyway, our friends Brian and Candice gave us a coupon for a free night of babysitting so we can go out on a date! Woo hoo! We have been out on dates since Hunter has been born but he usually tags along- and we have seen one movie in the theaters since his birth. Wow.
So now Jeremy is 29 years old and I thought I would post 29 reasons why I love him (oh how cute!!!)
1. He makes me laugh
2. He can pick me up
3. He is patient with people that I get irritated with
4. He is a wonderful dad
5. He changes poopy diapers without complaint
6. He doesn't watch sports
7. We agree on how to raise our children
8. We have the same views on most things
9. He lets me sleep in on the weekends while he takes care of Hunter
10. He is a wonderful member of our church
11. He likes to be outside
12. He can sing Happy Birthday in the worst way possible (just ask my family)
13. He has a great sense of humor
14. He doesnt yell
15. He is bad with dates too so I dont get in trouble when I forget things

17. He helps me with things I dont finish
18. He is a great cook
19. He is a good cleaner (and super speedy at it)
20. He likes to be involved with decorating the house (hey, he lives here too)

LOVE YOU BABE!

It's About Time!

Well folks, time has gotten away from me-clearly! Quick update on the lives of us...Hunter is 9 months old. He was 28 inches long and 20lbs 10 oz. at his last appointment on Jan. 3. He is crawling like a wild child now-super fast! I will try to get a video of him soon. He babbles all the time and is now clicking his tongue on a regular basis. He can clap our hands and gives open mouth kisses to anyone who wants one (even those who don't). His only "trick" thus far is being able to put his arms up on command. Observe:

He is also "cruising" along the couch and whatever else he can pull up to. He has smashed his fingers in our entertainment stand drawers so many times I have lost count (even after we took the knobs off so he couldn't open them) and loved pulling our dvd player open (before we got a cover for it). He loves to let Gidget kiss him (GROSS!) and enjoys closing and opening her door. One of his new favorite toys is our computer mouse-he will pull it down off the pad and click the buttons, opening several programs in the process. Tech savvy already! He enjoys sitting in carts and making noise as well:

As for the rest of us: I am now 27. My birthday was the 15th and Jeremy will be turning 29...We are getting older and older and still feel young. We are now part of the "old" group in our young marrieds group...sigh. Who knew?! Jeremy is enjoying work and travels a fair amount-if it is longer than a few days Hunter and I tag along and love it! I am keeping busy with chocolate stuff and Pampered Chef. I am as busy with outside things as I want to be. We are doing well and I will try to be better at this posting stuff :).
