Those of you who know Emily well know that no event in Emily’s life where she is the focus should only last one day. This is why she coined the phrase “Birthday Fest” and now we have “Mother’s Day Fest”. What this means for me is that not only is she the center of attention for one day but we… Read more »
I have been a huge fan of Scrubs ever since it’s inception. Begin a music fan, the show always introduced me to songs and artists that I had never heard of. The shows ability to change your mood on a dime with a song was truly incredible. I have to say they picked a great song for the season finale. … Read more »
So I have to first admit that Hunter has been to the Disney theme parks more in his two years than I could have dreamed to go in my childhood (although the 1,200 mile commute prevented many a day trip for the Hayes family living in Wisconsin). During our many visits Emily and I often ride the monorail and train… Read more »
It was another eventful week for the Hayes family and Hunter. The highlight of the week was planting a tomato plant in our “As Seen On TV” Topsy Turvy. We also planted some other seeds and plants around the house and gave Hunter his first taste of landscaping. Stay tuned for week ten when we teach Hunter how to dispose… Read more »
Since my plans to take Hunter to see Disney’s Earth fell through (well, more like I came to my senses), and I was too lazy to take him to Animal Kingdom, I decided Hunter and I would do a craft in honor of Earth Day. Most of the online toddler crafts sounded a bit out of our league so I… Read more »
A couple weeks ago, my great friend Marie came to visit from Michigan. Her wonderful husband Ryan surprised her with a trip to Florida knowing how much she loves it here and misses it in the long, cold, Michigan winters. Marie and I were roommates on our Disney internship back in 2001, and she has thankfully kept in touch with… Read more »
We decided to fire up the grill on Sunday and make some delicious hot dogs. This was Hunter’s first experience eating hot dogs (or should I say moving the hot dog aside so he could eat the Cheetos). Oh well the thought was there and I just had to share the image.
This one might require a bit of explanation. When Hunter first came home from the hospital he had one of those infant friendly pacifiers. Emily’s Dad, who fishes more than anyone I have ever met, thought that it looked like a fishing bobber. We thought it was clever and the name “bobbo” stuck. Fast forward to two years later and Emily… Read more »
It was such a beautiful day we just had to head over to Epcot to enjoy the Flower and Garden Festival. The gorgeous weather and stunning backdrops provided the perfect setting for this week’s three words. The spring weather is very fleeting here, before the summer heat arrives, so we are enjoying it while it lasts! Enjoy.
In honor of Colonel Griffin’s belated birthday celebration we decided to pack a lunch and head to Moss Park which is about 2 miles from the house to enjoy a nice afternoon. Emily made some delicious bread salad that we enjoyed very much. Hunter had a blast collecting sticks and watching Poppop fish. Check out some of the fun photos… Read more »
