Play Group at Chick-fil-A and Sheetrock!!

Hunter had a ball climbing the playscape at Chick-fil-A. We were supposed to host play group at our house, but in the present condition of dust and more dust everywhere, we decided to have play group somewhere else. It was perfect for Hunter who is like a little monkey and loves to climb. Before I knew it he was high above my head and smiling so big. This is a pic of Hunter standing in the slide. Wheeee!!!!

Who knew we would be so excited to see sheetrock going up. This is the view from the master bedroom looking towards the door to the hall. They are here again today working hard. It should be finished (the sheetrock I mean) today!

What a Difference a YEAR makes!

April 2007- 16 months old
April 2006- 4 months old

I got to thinking how much Hunter has changed in the last several months and realized how neat it would be to look back at him this time last year. These two pictures show the same precious boy that has blessed our lives... he's just not quite a baby anymore!

Random Pictures

April 15- The porch is coming together. The roof is going on tomorrow so that will be exciting and pull it all together. Once it is all painted it will really look good.
Hunter and I out on Sunday afternoon to snap pics in the bluebonnets. It's amazing how big he seems to me all of a sudden!

Bluebonnets

Once we got on the property today, I decided Hunter was ready to try out his driving. Look how well he took to it! He loved sitting in my lap looking for cows!

Hunter in the wild flowers. He loved the dandelions the best and wanted to find them.
Hunter and Jackson Hildebrand- buddies in the bluebonnets
Aren't they so cute?!

Hunter got a kick out of standing in the middle of the flowers. Most of the bluebonnets had lost their "bonnets" so we might try some more pics one more time.
He was very curious about everything around him.
Hunter clapping his hands and having a great time!

Today, Hunter is 16 months old! We took a little trip this afternoon to take pictures in the bluebonnets. Hunter enjoyed driving in the country and liked the dandelions the best.

Update on the House!

We are so excited- as you can see by the pictures, they have broken into the house. The pictures show the view from the new family room looking into the kitchen. This one above was taken right after they created the opening. I was so excited to see how much it opened up the kitchen. It's going to be great!
This picture shows the arch that they created to mimic the others found in the house. We thought it would keep some of the charm that the older part of the house already has. Here is Hunter walking across the pine wood floors that we were fortunate to uncover beneath the yucky linoleum in the kitchen. Hallelujah!!
Looking from the kitchen into the new family room. French doors were installed today!

The new front porch- it adds so much to the curb appeal of the house and has only taken a little over a day to get to this stage.

Baseball Fan!

Hunter loved being at the baseball fields in College Station cheering on his Uncle Blake! He looks so grown up in this picture! This was taken in early March when we took a road trip to watch the Aggies play ball. Go Blake!!

Starting to frame- last week of March 2007

We are so excited to be past the foundation stage of construction! This shows a view of the addition off the back of the house. Chris, Hunter and I are thrilled to see the actual house take shape and can't wait to have some more space. It's amazing how much smaller the house seemed once Hunter arrived! We are contracting out the jobs ourselves, so life is hectic with lots of decisions being made and a lot more learning than we bargained for! Overall, it's been a really exciting experience.

First Blog for the Joneses

I feel so technological! We are officially "blogging!"

We thought it would be a great way to share what is going on in our lives with friends and family near and far.

For those of you who we haven't seen in a long time....
* Hunter Scott was born Dec. 15, 2005 at a healthy 7 lbs. 7 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. He is just the most precious miracle to both of us. We love him with all of our hearts!
*We are coming up on our 5th anniversary this fall on October 19th!
*Chris is a real estate appraiser at my dad's appraisal firm and is really enjoying it. He is busy pursuing his MAI.
*I did not return to teaching this year and enjoy staying home with Hunter. I stay busy chasing after him!

This is a big step for the Joneses! We don't even have DVR!! Hope you enjoy as we learn how to do this!
