-today while I was showering Hunter came in and informed me that he had picked out my outfit for the day and even had my underwear and bathing suit (bra) ready. He said "Mom, you'll look so cute in it!" What a sweetheart.

-then while in my bathroom getting ready, Cole came in whining and wanting me to hold him...Hunter came in and said "Cole come with me let mommy get ready" he took him by the hand to his bedroom and starting playing with the car garage...Cole was instantly happy. I hope this kindness and love continues:)

- Hunter didn't want to go to Joyschool this morning... he said "Mom I will sure miss you is why I just can't go"

- My house is a total mess and I have NO desire to clean it. but I have my parents coming for the week SO I need to.

-We leave for Hawaii on Sunday.....beyond excited!!!! it will be the first time there for the both of us. Our 3rd honeymoon!

We have a hill in our neighborhood that the boys like to ride their bikes down. Hunter is the fastest kid going down the hill and to be honest Cole is not to far behind.

Hunter and one of his cute poses!

think pink

My heart was beating like crazy. Tears were welling up in my eyes, I wasn't sure what she was going to tell us. She put the jelly stuff on my belly and began the sonogram...she wasn't saying much, they never do. She then said "is this your first?" no...my third...she then said "what do you have?" 2 boys...."well it's a GIRL!" My heart went faster and tears were running down my face...I couldn't believe what I heard....but I loved what I heard...a GIRL!!! We are beyond excited to have a little girl and the boys are SO excited to have a sister. So now off to find a good name for this little princess!!! She will be arriving July 22, 2011

5 years old

Hunter got to spend his 5th birthday at Disneyland a 3 day birthday trip. Everyday he would say I'm so happy this is so much fun!!!

The Mickey Mouse outside of the Disneyland Hotel where we stay for 2 nights...notice Cole wouldn't take his eyes off Mickey, he LOVES mickey.

World of Color at California Adventure we had a great spot to view the spectacular show.

Panoramic view from Eric's phone

Hunter is SO brave he loves the tower of terror

His birthday button from Disneyland...all the employee's would say "Happy Birthday Buddy" Hunter thought that was awesome to have all the attention.

On the huge Mickey Ferris wheel...we made it to the top and Hunter got scared and laid underneath the seat.

Silly Hunter at his best.

Once again Cole not taking his eyes off his favorite Disney character...Buzz Light Year...We think he pointed out every Buzz thing he could see that day. He would point then say "To infinity and beyond!"

Hunter loves to drive the cars

IN toontown Goofy played with the boys while they were in the jail.

Goofy keep following Cole around a repeating whatever Cole would do it was so funny and Cole was giggling the whole time.

Dumbo ride at night....FUN!!

Sittin in one of Mickey's chairs in his house

We had a blast on our family trip. Now, Hunter thinks we need to visit Disneyland on a weekly basis.
We loved that Grandma and Grandpa Francis got to join us on the last day!!

SNOW

Hunter and Abby in the Big snow cave Eric built at Corey's house.

Eric, Cole and Abby getting ready to go down the sledding hill...Cole loved it so much he went down 3 times, but on the third time he got lots of snow in his face and was ready to go in. It was 10 degrees outside that day.
