Only 2 choices... orange or blue



Well I am cracking up as I scroll through the last couple of entries. Hunter looks like he is always wearing the same thing and I guess I repeat a little too often. It's either the orange and brown polo or the smocked safari scene on the blue outfit. I'm going to have to put those things away for awhile and let him wear something else! :)

I Love Lucy... and Mammy too!!



The other night, the "girls" and Hunter got together for dinner over at Mammy's house. We each brought part of the meal and then stayed to watch an "I Love Lucy" movie. It brought back so many fun memories of growing up and going to Mammy's to spend the night with the cousins. We would always be so excited when she had gotten a new video in the mail. It meant lots of laughs on a pallet on the floor and eating piping hot bread pudding straight from the oven while we watched Lucy and her crazy antics. We had a great time getting together!

It's a Hard Knock Life...

Hunter had a rough day at the church on Tuesday. I had taken him with me to my Bible Study and had him in the childcare room. Well, he was having none of it and proceeded to cry so hard that they had to close the door to the room. Each time we peeked in he was with another lady. After awhile, I couldn't hear him any more. Sweet Aunt Nancy teaches at the church and was just around the corner. She finally came in and asked if she could take him to her classroom. I figured that was better than leaving him in there. She told me later that when she went in to get him, he was dragging his little backpack around the room still crying. Poor baby. Once in her classroom, this is what happened...

A Weekend at the Ranch


We had a blast this weekend at some dear friends' ranch. Hunter got to "drive" Daddy's truck on the dirt roads. Wow, was that fun! He loved being with his friends Kate and Corbin and even snuck in a kiss for Kate. We loved just relaxing with friends and enjoying each others company.


Oops! I'm not watching where I'm going!


Coming in for the kiss!

This one's for Blake...

The Sweet Life

Hunter had the royal treatment this weekend in Waco. Once he realized that there was delicious chocolate icebox pie he would drag anyone who would listen to the utility room refridgerator and say, "Poon." (Spoon) He loved it and would dip that spoon into the pie and take a huge bite. Yum!

Busy Days...


This picture is too cute of Hunter waiting for the train to arrive. He thinks it's the greatest thing to ride the choo-choo train.


Does he look relaxed or what?

Where does the time go?

Hunter at 8 1/2 months last year. It's so hard to believe that he is quickly approaching 2 years old. It seems like yesterday that we snapped this picture of him. When I compare it with his recent pics I realize that he really has lost that baby look. With change and time come fun things!

It's FALL in the Jones House

The FALL..... It was bound to happen at some point seeing as Hunter is such a climber. Last night, for the first time ever, Hunter crawled out of the crib and landed with a thud on the floor. His first fall out of the crib! Chris and I flew into his room to find him sprawled out on the floor. He wasn't hurt thank goodness but was definitely scared. I don't blame him. After talking with friends, I guess our options are to see if this becomes a regular event, get a crib tent if it does, or move him to a toddler or big boy bed. I guess we'll see if he wants to attempt that again or not.

We decided to put on a "fall" shirt today for playgroup. He looks so grown up in a polo shirt and khaki shorts. He will pat his shirt and say "Da Da." I guess he thinks he looks like his daddy in his grown up shirt!
