Lately...

We've been having lots of fun with these two cuties!!

They are best buddies and do everything together

(Nena stole one of Hunter's pacifiers and wanted to play with him under his toy, Hunter's pacifier is in backwards!)

Hunter is such a good sport to let Nena dress him up...

Dance with him...

Hold him all the time and drag him around...

And even try to feed him!!

My favorite people in the whole world!!!
Smiley Hunter!!

Nena loves to color, she colors about 3 or 4 times a day and has to have all million of her coloring books out whenever she does!!

Clar made a cake for one of his friend's birthdays and Nena was so sad when we gave it away so we let her make some cupcakes and celebrated her half birthday!!

Hunter in his big truck that he got for Christmas!!

Hunter is now 6 1/2 months old and on Tuesday night he started crawling!!! He just does a little army crawl but it is so cute and he is pretty fast at it and goes all over the place!! He is getting so big and is growing up so fast!!

Christmas

Christmas was so much fun!! It gets better every year because Nena gets older and starts to understand more! This year she knew who Santa was and she actually opened all of her presents and also all of Hunter's! Both of them got so spoiled they got toys, books, coloring books, clothes, Nena got a tricycle and their big present was a swing set! Here are some pictures of the morning.

Nena's tricycle

We got this swingset on craigslist so it's not perfect but it should last us a long time and Nena loves it!! Clar set it up on Christmas Eve during Nena's nap and so she didn't see it all set up until Christmas morning when we took her outside after opening presents!

Hunter & Daddy

This was my big Christmas present and I love it!!

Since I posted last...

Here is what's been going on since I last posted.

We started giving Hunter real food. He just eats rice cereal and oatmeal for now.

We laid sod in our backyard. It is so nice to have grass now instead of dirt! And it's nice that the weather has cooled off finally, we can actually go outside and enjoy it because we have nice green grass and great weather!! This is a before picture taken when we first bought the house.

After. We are going to plant lots of trees and put a barbeque area and do a few other things back there eventually but it still is so nice to at least have grass!
Our great view of the Estrella mountains from our bedroom window.

We had a great Thanksgiving spent with both families eating two Thanksgiving dinners! This is the only picture I got, they were eating my cousin (on the right's) birthday cake. She turned 3!
It was my birthday on December 2nd and it was a great day just hanging out and eating way too much food!

Here are some random pictures of the family.

Chillin with daddy!

Clar & Hunter
Hunter is officially a thumb sucker! He usually prefers his thumb over his pacifier and always has it in his mouth!

Nena loves to hold Hunter's hand whenever we are driving in the car! It's so cute she just sits there holding his hand and talking to him!

Nena & Hunter love each other so much, it's so fun to see them together! Hunter is always smiling at Nena whenever she is talking to him or playing with him!

Life is good! I can't believe it's almost Christmas, I cannot wait! We are putting our decorations up tomorrow!!

We had a fun Halloween! We went to our ward's Halloween party and also to our old ward's Trunk or Treat. Nena was Cinderella and Hunter was a lion and they both looked so cute!!

Before the ward Halloween Party

During the day on Halloween, the kids had cute Hallween clothes to wear.

Halloween night we went Trick or Treating for a little bit and then came home and sat on our front porch to pass out candy. Nena loved seeing all the different costumes that came to our door, especially if someone came dressed up as one of the disney princessess. She especially loved to give people candy, when she would see people walking up to us she would grab some candy and walk to the edge of our porch and wait for them to come up to her so she could put the candy in their bag. I took these pictures when we were just hanging out waiting for Trick or Treaters.

This last Saturday the 7th was Clar's birthday! It was a Saturday, a perfect day for a birthday except for the fact that we had a gazillion things going on that day so we didn't really get to celebrate his birthday until 9:00 that night. I didn't even have time to make a cake so we just used a dougnut that we had and stuck candles in that for him to blow out. Sorry hon, we will make up for it next year. Thanks for being a great husband and dad, we love you!!
