Our House

The front of the house

Well we did it. we took the plunge and bought our first home. We truly are so blessed to be is such a beautiful home and are so excited to raise our family here. So now that we have more space we can have visitors came for parties and just to hang out. We are in the process of painting the boys rooms. Hunter's is halfway done, it's going to be red and blue. He has even helped with the painting and is very good at staying in his area to paint. The baby's room will be a light green with a white bead board around the bottom half of the walls. I hope we get all our painting projects done before the baby comes. It's our goal.

I have more pictures but I'm not sure where the camera cords are packed so I will post more of the inside and our progression of making it our home.

Easter

Hunter had so much fun finding the eggs the Easter bunny hid around the backyard.
Eric was near by making sure hunter didn't miss a single egg. Together they found 118 eggs.

The cousins after the hunt. They had their baskets full. Hunter filled his basket 4 times, we had to keep emptying it into a grocery bag so he could keep going.

I was putting on my make-up for church and Hunter helped himself to my lipstick, He even made himself a mustache.

Hunter feel asleep in the car, so we carried him to the house and laid him on the couch and he woke up to switch positions to a more comfortable one??!!...which was the arm rest of the couch with head in between couch and boxes.

Newport Beach

We had a fun filled day up in Newport Beach, thanks to our fmaily coming down from Utah for their Spring Break. Anna's family had a home on Balboa Island for a week and we got to spend a day with them. Here a re a few pictures of our day together.

Abby and Hunter playing in the sand, they have SO much fun together.

Auntie Anna and Cousins playing tag with the water.


Hunter figured out how to roll his tongue into a taco...a "Francis" given talent.

3 year old...BOY!!!

Hunter is in his impossible(for me) three's. He is just all over the place and never stops. He only wants it his way and he has to negotiate everything. Each day I go to bed exhausted.

We made popcorn together(his favorite thing to do) and I leave him for 1 minute and this is what happens. When he saw me he said" Mom, I'll clean it up" Yeah right

Being silly with cousin Abby.

I found him on the top of G&G's house pillars. Has to climb everything he can.

baby quilt

I just finished the front side of my sister's baby quilt yesterday. She is due on March 12th so I better hurry to finish the rest. I loved the fabric so much I bought extra to make one for me.

Hope you like it Shelly? It's cutest in person...really it is!!

Potty Training Success!

For the last 3 days Hunter has been in big boy underwear, because"we ran out of diapers." He has done SO well at using the toilet and we are so very proud of him. Today I had to get a little creative so that he would do #2 on the toilet. He was playing around with his soccer Easter basket and he put it on his head as a hat. I told him it would be funny if he would wear the soccer ball hat while going to the bathroom. He thought that was a great idea. It was a great detraction because we talked and laughed about his hat and then he did it ...went #2. He was so excited and it's all due to the cool hat.

28

Eric turned 28 yesterday. Hunter and I surprised him at work with subway sandwiches for lunch. Then Hunter and I made him a cake. We couldn't find any cake candles so we had to use the big white taper ones. Which was fun for Hunter. Eric and I are going out tonight to celebrate his birthday!
