Hunterism

We went to the store the other night as a family and when we got home Hunter walks in and says "Uh oh mom, someone came and cleaned our house!"

She is obviously so used to our house being a mess that when it's clean something is wrong! Funny girl!

Hunters dentist appointment

Hunter has been begging to go to the dentist for a couple weeks. Luckily she had an appointment coming up soon! She was so excited and she did so good! She even got her pink squiggly toothbrush she wanted! I hope all my kids want to go and do as good as her! (till she gets a cavity, then she might change her mind?!)

THE Holiday

Our Christmas celebration started on Friday night.  We had dinner at our house and Traci, Eric, Andrew and Justin came up from El Paso to join us.  We had a good time as always eating good food and enjoying good company.  I am going to be sad when we aren't as close anymore.  I have really enjoyed being able to do things together.  It's just a matter of time before we part our ways.  The race is on for who goes first!?!?  After dinner we opened gifts, and as always they were SO GENEROUS to our family!  The kids LOVED their little sleeping bags!  They are so cute!  

For Christmas Eve we just lounged around together, cleaned up the house a bit and decided we would go up to Cloudcroft and enjoy a "White Christmas"!  We invited our friends and went sledding!  It was fun!  I normally don't enjoy the snow and especially being cold, but I had a really good time and I wanted to keep playing!  Hunter on the other hand started complaining the second she stepped foot out of the truck into the snow.  Tyson took her down the hill one time and she wigged out!  Hurley did OK.  He was wet before we even started and I took him down and we hit powder just right so that it sprayed in his face.  So he didn't want to go again.  But he was a good sport and was enjoying the ride.  Then we did some trains together while the kids watched a movie in the truck and we took turns watching Huxley.

 On our way home I told Tyson that I wanted to start our own family tradition.  Other than the traditional Christmas jammies, everyone does that!  So we decided we will make cinnamon rolls and leave some for Santa!

 And I did horrible and didn't take any pictures of them opening gifts.  I recorded a video of it and didn't think about the pictures!  I am upset about it!  They had a good time and every gift Hunter would open she would say "It's exactly what I wanted!"

Hurley has been sleeping on us a lot over the holiday which I think we have enjoyed!  The day after Christmas Tysons parents and sister Brielle came down to spend a week with us.  When they got here Monday night we opened presents and visited for a bit.  They were pretty tired from traveling all day so we just layed around.  We did a lot of that!  Grandma made them tee pees and they are so cute!  Hunter was asking grandma to play with her in the tee pee everyday!  Grandpa even took a turn!

 For new years eve we stayed at our house and just had fun.  We watched a movie while the kids fell asleep and after we put them in bed we played games.  I tried to get a "Candid picture" of us at the table, but it didn't work so well.  Especially when everyone stared right at the camera at smiled!  So then I just decided to take one without me in it!  It was a lot of fun having them here and spending time with them!

New Years goal..... take more pictures..... AGAIN!

Huxley 9 Months

Stats

Height: 28"- 43%

weight: 18# 7oz- 21%

head: 45.6cm- 63%

We aren't quite sure how his height and weight can be below average for his age, yet he is wearing 12-18 months clothing?!  He is happy and healthy and we love him!  He has two teeth and is crawling all over and pulling himself up to anything he possibly can.  He is starting to not eat his baby food very well anymore, we think it's because he is ready for texture.  He spits his out and it sprays everywhere!  And we have also introduced formula which he takes very well!  And he is sleeping all night long with 2 naps, sometimes 3.  His brother and sister love him and Hunter can not let him go to sleep without giving him loves and kisses!  She is being more and more motherly to him.  It is actually quite cute, except when she picks him up when I have repeatedly told her not to.  WE LOVE YOU HUXLEY!
