WOWZA

Can I just say that I'm REALLY excited that I figured out how to put that picture up there with writing on it, using 2 different websites, multiple attempts at sizing, but I did it!!! haaa. I'm not too techy if you didn't know that. BUT AT LAST - Sydney is officially part of the blog!! HA....it only took 10.5 months....

In other news, visited lil Beckett this morning, well and Josh and Emily. He is stinkin CUTE! What a little mini! Can't even believe that Sydney was that size when she was born....(for about a week.) I told her what I loved the most is that he wasn't trying to get away from me! seriously though, the boys went thru this stage too of not being able to sit still (wonder who they get that from) and Sydney is a MO-VEERRR. She doesn't even want to be rocked to sleep, she starts reaching for her crib when you walk into her room. OOKKKAY good night to you too!! So anyways, I just loved to hold him and not stop looking at his cute lil head. Pretty sure he doesn't look like either one of them yet....but it's only been a day. =)


And let me just brag about my friend here for a minute. Look how good she looks!!! She stayed up ALL night to have a baby 26 hours ago. Smokin. seriously, she looks great..and she was her cheerful, pleasant self. Talkin to the doctors about going home this afternoon too. That's awesome. Way to go guys!



After I left the hospital, picked up the kiddos from Auntie Heather's, we headed out to our fav place to get pumpkins and some mums for the porch. I was trying to hold off buying them, but I couldn't stand it anymore. LOVE FALL STUFF!!! Here we are picking out our pumpkins, Sydney watched from her car seat a few feet away. The boys loved it! they went straight for the lil guys. And the nice man gave them each a baby punkin for free!! He's the best!



So we took all that home and did THIS with it!!


not sure why this one keeps going sideways. hmmm

YES! The boys were great helpers with that. And of course we had to have a photo shoot after that. I was laughing out loud - they are so funny, enjoy!

And tonight, Ry and I will go cheer on the Lancers at the Lakeshore VS St. Joe fb game!! Thankful for such a great day with beautiful weather! Fall is the BEST!

A new BIL!

Brother - in - law. We abrev in this fam. =)

DALLAS IS ENGAGED to this fine fellow: (ok Levi is in the blue shirt - NOT HIM haha)









Here are the stats:
Name: Caleb Nachtigall (knock-tih-gall)
Age: old enough
Hair: blondish brown and short
Loves: Jesus, Dally, computers, art, fixing ANYTHING, making ANYTHING
Fun fact: He made Dally's ring. That's right, you read that correctly...he MADE, as in started from nothing and ended with a ring to put on her finger. HOLY CRAP
Proposal date: 10-10-10....don't really think that was on purpose cause it just happened to be when he finished the ring...it took a whoppin 5 weeks.

Anyhoo, I got permission from the owners to post this even though it hasn't been released on the world wide web yet. As luck would have it, Caleb thought enough to make a video of the whole creation process so the rest of us can have a craft...month. haha SO...stay tuned for all the pictures/videos/information/stories/wedding plans to come. Check Dallas's fb or Caleb's...I've been told it will be up for the viewing soon! But for now - here's a preview. Note that it looks even MORE amazing and sparkly in person and there's a whole history behind the diamonds...and if you knew Caleb at all, that would not come as a surprise.

We are SO excited to have such a great new addition to the family! Welcome!!

Start of Year 5!

We've almost been married for 5 years!! hahaha. just kiddin. Thursday was our 4th anniversary and yesterday morning Ry was leaving for work, he made some joke about it almost being 5 years now. haha. Trust me, it was pretty funny.

SOOOOOO, now that we're officially in the 5th year of marriage, here are some fun adventures we've taken in the last 2 days. =)

FIRST OF ALL, Friday was our last day with lil Ellington. So we packed up in the morning and headed off to visit Emily at school for her last day of teaching! The kids in the class thought it was so awesome to have visitors for a few minutes. It's like Where's Waldo trying to find the boys in this picture! haha....they loved going to the school cause it was like a whole room full of Hunter's!! I told Emily that in those 5ish minutes we were in there before the kids went to art I was completely overwhelmed. I would take 4 kids under 3 years old ANY DAY over a class room of 3rd graders!! haha

And then a great shot of Em and the big sister!

Seriously....any day now baby W's (pronounced = Dubs...maybe it should just be BDubs! HA!) Well, she's due on Wednesday, so I guess we might just have a wait a bit longer....

And then yesterday evening Deb and Rich came over. We haven't' hung out with them in forever it seems, so it was great to have them here. Deb and Ry went to pick up some DELISH food from a restaurant that one of his patients owns and after we ate we headed off to the park to burn off some of the boys' energy - not like they need any help burnin energy with Uncle Rich here... he gets em all sorts of riled up! How do you spell that. Anyways, check out these action shots!!




HA! And then of course we had to have dessert. Dilly Bars from DQ! That was a first time experience with ice-cream on a stick. It went over quite well actually. =)



Just noticed I don't' have any pictures of Deb. terrible! but she was here!! haha. Anyways, we're glad to have such great friends here, we had a blast today with Whites and Gpa Joe at the Harvest Festival on the bluff, followed by pizza for lunch, naps, some football watching of course, the park, Sydney shopping, supper at Joe and Susies, and the lovely quiet moments after bedtime. =) SIIIGHHH. Life feels so busy when all you do is chase people for a living. hahaha! Deep down I'm still thankful for these days because they go by just as fast as they came. =)

Tick Tock...

Any day now.......... !!!!!!



I've been workin on Elle when she's here to tell me her brother's name. The first time she said 'tsi-tsi' and the second time was very clear - 'NEEN'. And she seemed to know exactly what she was saying to me. hmmm......Does this look like a face that would lie?! I think not!

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of another sweet lil boy!
