Look at what I did!!

I love hairbows, they are one of my many weaknesses (for Kami, not for me)! It just so happens that my sister in law knows how to make them, so she indulged me and taught me how! They are super fun to make, and so with a little time and effort, I completed my first set! I am super excited, and I can't wait to go broke on grosgrain ribbon!! Too bad WalMart doesn't have the best selection!!! If anyone wants a tutorial just let me know, it is really fun!!

I am Optimus Prime...

Transformers... more than meets the eye! Poor Carter, always subjected to our silly ways!

videos of kiddios...

Kami had her kindergarten song recital this week, and I couldn't pass up the chance to share this video, it's kind of long, but it is cute... watch how she bops the entire song... such a mover!!



Of course Jeff has a performance for you too! He is totally into primary songs, and so here he is singing Follow the Prophet!


Enjoy!

Will you be my valentine?!

It is so exciting to have a kindergartner, with all of the parties and valentines lists and candy... And Kami was such a good sport about her valentine cards, she decided it would be okay to have hand made valentines instead of the ones from the store, so this is what we came up with!
The ones for her classmates... They were supposed to be holding a sucker, but they weren't strong enough!! So cute though, I thought!!
Jeff wanted to show them off for Kami, they are patterned after Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc.! The eye is actually supposed to be bigger, but Wal-Mart only has so many sizes of googly eyes!!
The teachers got dogs, personally decorated by Kami herself, and the backs read 'I'm "Mutts" about you!' So cute!! Yea for Valentine's Day!!!

anything you can do...

Carter has decided that if Jeff can drive, so can he... Now, if he could only reach those pedals...



Jeff didn't seem to mind being passenger, until he realized they were never going to get anywhere!! So then he decided to play basketball instead, but the only way Carter could play with us was if he were the ball!!!

Well, you can probably tell that that didn't last long, but it's okay because just then we heard the bus coming!! Kami was home from school!!
What a big girl! That' it! Just another normal day at the Hunt house! (Don't worry, we don't always use Carter as the ball... just sometimes!)

An ode to animals...

I was looking for a picture on our computer today, and while doing so, I found lots of pictures of all of the pets that Richard and I have enjoyed over the years!! It is incredible, the number of dogs and cats we have somehow obtained... Yet we never can manage to keep them!! So, here for your viewing pleasure, is a list of all the animals we have brought into our home in the last seven years!! (That does not include a beta fish, which my sweet sister Vanessa gave to me... that thing wouldn't die!)
That's Cookie... She was so cute, but she had really bad ticks and they kept latching to my children... She found a good home in San Antonio!
Here's Chewbacca... Cute as can be, but it turns out Chihuahuas don't like three year olds! He went back to his homeland...Cuidad Acuna, Mexico!
Meet Chip and Dale... Dale really did have a red nose, but Richard wasn't sold! They found a new home at the local cemetery. Don't worry, they are still alive, they just keep the rodent problems down!!
There's Celery. He was a vagabond cat from the neighborhood... He stole our hearts and then stole away!! We had him for a month or so and then he moved on!
That's George!! He was the most patient kitten... Well until he snuck out and ran away... He's probably alot happier though, just look at his expression!
Here's Rumpledoodles (named for the Heffalump Movie, of course!!) He was beautiful, but not fond of Kami's love! After he stratched her too many times, we decided to find him a new home! Isn't he cute, though?!
I don't even remember this ones name so we must have not had it for very long, but it looks sweet!!!
Rafferty and Commander!! We only had Commander as a puppy, my sister gave him a better home than we did, in fact, that's why ended up with a fish instead!
Here's Rafferty alone, he was by far our favorite, but we just couldn't give him the attention that he needed so he went back to his old home...We still have visitation rights, though!! There was one other dog we had, Ella... she didn't even stay long enough to get a picture! She couldn't stay off of our table! There is something not right about a huge dog on the kitchen table... now I wish I did have a picture!! Of course we still have Chocolate and Caramel, from down below, and it is my goal in life to keep those cats forever!! Oh the adventures of the Hunt Family...

FHE all day long!

Since Monday was MLK jr. Day, Richard and Kami both got the day off! YEA!! And since it was such a beautiful day in Del Rio, we decided to try GeoCaching with our new GPS! (Thanks, Mom Hunt!!) If any of you haven't heard of geocaching, it's like a treasure hunt with your GPS and map coordinates, it's super fun and challenging! Anyhow, we picked three geocaches from the website http://www.geocaching.com/ and away we went! No luck with our first two, actually the second one ended up being in a swamp and we couldn't actually get to it, but third time's a charm, all we had to do was trespass on to someone's property (great example for our kids!) But we found the treasure box and left a toy for the next family, and headed to lunch!! It was so much fun and I recommend it to everyone, at least to try once! The kids were definitely into finding treasures!

I walked into a swamp without realizing it... My All-Stars will never be the same!
Kami and Jeff walked right in after me! Dad was able to save them faster!!

There it is! Our first official find! We put Dopey in the jar, signed our names and went on our way!

And of course, Carter joined the fun too!
