Junior Firefighter Hunter

      Comments Off on Junior Firefighter Hunter

Last Wednesday, Hunter and I visited my old friend Fireman Dan at his fire station. When we arrived, Hunter was just up from a short nap and was in a raging bad mood. Fireman Dan took us inside the station right away and all the guys were great about talking to Hunter and snapping him out of his bad mood…. Read more »

Although Emily is not a huge fan of the beach (even though she grew up in Sarasota, FL…????), she agreed to appease Hunter and I and accompany us to the beach.  I have been known to go to the beach on occasion without much preparation and just walk and enjoy the day.  Well, those of you who know Emily know… Read more »

Hunter’s Week in Three Words – Week Thirteen

      Comments Off on Hunter’s Week in Three Words – Week Thirteen

I would like to say we planned this week’s “Week in Three Words,” but Emily and I both had the thought at the same time while we were enjoying ourselves at the beach.  It ended up being quite fitting as Hunter absolutely loved his time building sand castles.  Enjoy!

Those of you who read A cloudy, fun Saturday  remember that we attempted to embark on Hunter’s first roller coaster ride, only to end the event in tears as the ride was closed due to inclement weather.  We decided after a couple weekends of sitting around the house due to illness, we would venture out to the Magic Kingdom in… Read more »

Hunter conquered his first roller coaster, Goofy’s Barnstormer, at the age of two!  Pretty sad when your two year old son is braver than you (for those of you who don’t know me well, I am not a big fan of roller coasters).  Don’t miss the video below and check out the rest of the day’s events here.   [media… Read more »

Let me first say that while I do live in Orlando, I am still a tried and true Milwaukee Bucks fan.  With that said since the Bucks were mathematically eliminated in the preseason, why not cheer for the home team (although I started following the team about midway through game six of the Eastern Conference Finals!).  To mark the exciting time for Orlando, Hunter… Read more »

For those of you who have yet to hop aboard the tomato planting craze are missing the pure enjoyment that is the Topsy Turvy!  We planted our tomato plant April 26th, 2009 and the plant has just taken off.  A few weeks back I had allotted time this weekend to take down the Topsy, pour the dead plant into the… Read more »

Patrick: “Here Hunter, you can hold your ticket.” Hunter: “And we’ll put it in the flowers and take a picture.”  I have been taking pictures of our tickets amongst the Flower and Garden flowers so I can use it in my Shutterfly books.  Unbeknownst to me, Hunter has been paying attention! ……………………………………………………………………………. After leaving Epcot after the fireworks, we were… Read more »

      1 Comment on Hunter’s Week in Three Words – Week Ten

Those of you who live in the Central Florida area know that, while much needed, we had an entire week of rain.  Emily was stuck at home for the entire week entertaining a two year old with endless energy who loves to be outside.  As I am writing this it is pouring outside my office window.  Thank you Mother Nature… Read more »
