Dirk's Deer

Dirk finally got to go hunting and he got a deer today! He came home so the kids could see it. Hunter of course loved it and had to go with daddy to the processor in Genesio. I tried not to get anything bad in the photos. The kids were not scared of the deer. They had to touch it so of course when we came inside there was hand washing and sanatizing.

Emma even got to look at the deer. She kept touching the ears!

Family Photo time at Sears

We gathered all of us at Sears today to get family pics. The kids did pretty good considering Hunter doesn't listen too well and Lexi cries when people look at her. She has teeth coming in so she wouldn't take her finger out of her mouth. When I tried pulling it out she cried so we let her do what she wanted. All in all they turned out pretty good.

The whole family
(the guys were joking and took one on this kiddie sled. We decided to give them the kids and then Tina and I ran behind to take a picture real quick. It turned out pretty cute.)

Madagascar 2

Tina and I took Hunter to see his first movie in a theater. He loved it. As soon as we got into view of the theater he started to get excited! We got there alittle early so we could get seats in the front. First we went into the theater and got our seats and took a few quick pics before people got there. Tina and him then went to get popcorn and soda. I of course packed a few snacks in my bag along with juice boxes, soda would keep him up all night! They came back with the goodies and the movie started soon after. He did pretty good. We took a potty break after awhile and on our way to the bathroom he saw the games. It took me a couple of minutes to get him back to the movie. He then told me later he had to go potty again, this was a trick, he thought he was smarter than mommy and that this would get him to the games again. It didn't work! Well he started to get antsy at the end but we made it through the whole thing! Oh and on the way out he tried to go into other movies, thanks to aunt Na who was quick he didn't make it. All in all we had a fun trip today. My baby is growing up.

My little man playing in the theater. Noone was there yet so we let him play. Can you see him all the way in the back?

Hunter eating popcorn! Of course he had to show us the stuff he had in his mouth.

Emma and Lexi's Playtime

Emma came over to play with Lexi today. They like to argue over toys. We finally got this bike of Hunter's out (it is a rocker -then you can ride it with out the bottom like a bike.) Of course they both wanted to be on it so we here they are. Of course the sharing doesn't last long. Emma tried to push Lexi off. It was funny.

Playing in the Leaves

It was such a nice day saturday that we went over to Aunt Tina's to play in the leaves.

Heading over to Aunt Tina's house. It was nice out but you know my kids and getting sick easily. We put hats on just to protect those ears.

Hunter laying in the leaves. His eyes look so blue in this picture. I love it.

Lexi sitting in the leaves. She only sat for a minute because she didn't like it. She is going to be a girly girl and never want to get dirty.

My little love bugs.
