Daddy's back from Florida.

I got back last night and boy do i miss the east coast. The flight from ft lauderdale to Charlotte was so beautiful. Charlotte is actually a very pretty city. Here are me and the boys in Paytons new bed last night and the boys dancing to Miranda Lambert last night.

Logans first workout.

I was watching tv and started doing pushups between comercials and Logan started doing them along with me. Well kind of.

Crazy boys.

They raided Kristy's closet this morning and like all men were intrigued by bras and booty shorts.

Payton

Payton too enjoyed the spaghetti but prefered the salad! He had an awesome day with his speech therapist, Caroline. I watched them from Paytons doorway and he was making choices, identifying the objects he was asked to and taking turns! It sounds so little when it is written, but Payton really faught with this. He's starting to get the hang of it. If only he'd continue to do all this with Logan! Because of his great day, he was rewarded with Cheetos and his favorite movie of the moment, Shrek the Third! Way to go Payton!!

Squetti Time!

Wow, did Logan lovehis spaghetti or what! I wish I would have taken a picture of the plate before and after, because there was enough spaghetti for me, Logan and Payton (well there was supposed to be!!) And there was only about a cup left! Clean up was not so fun. Logan was determined to feed himself so I was cleaning from his head to his toes (and the table, chair, floor, etc). The spaghetti sauce actually stained his tummy! Cute!!

Dance Dance Revolution!

Lolo gettin down with family to the Bob Marley song on my brothers blog.

Baby #3 again...

Here he/she is again! I had another doctors appointment today. Everything is perfect. I saw a nurse practitioner last visit, but this time I got to see my doctor. I mentioned to her that I thought the March 30th due date was off (it was 11 days later than my original due date of March 19th). So she ordered another ultrasound. This time the baby only measured 3-4 days small, so she returned my due date back to March 19th! Because I need anther baby born that week, right? Anyways, it's heartbeat was strong at 171bpm. If you ask Stephanie, that means it's a girl. I hope she's right :0) The next post will probably be the sex!! Exciting! For those who are counting weeks with me, that puts me at 12 1/2 weeks. I'll have the gender ultrasound in about 7 weeks (between 18-20 weeks). Well, until next time...

Nothing can brighten your day faster than a child laughing

Yeah Payton!!!

Payton had a great day with his speech therapist today. We have been struggling a bit with melt downs and tantrums, but today he played so well. He's still speaking in German (if you ask my Dad) but we are making progress. I also learned that PV school district provides bus transportation for preschoolers, including car seats! So once Payton gets adjusted to his class, we will try the bus. Exciting! This solves one huge problem Moose and I had. How do we get Payton to preschool when I work in the mornings? This is an answer to prayer! Plus, I think Payton will really enjoy riding in his school bus. He always points them out when we are driving.

Not to toot my own horn....but,

I was looking the pictures of me, kristy, and the kids at the zoo from a few days ago and it reminded me of our trip last October. Looking at those pictures I couldnt believe how much the kids have grown from then to now and how good Kristy looked both then and now and then I saw some pictures of me. Holy crap I was gigantic.

When I met Kristy I weighed 225 pounds and was fairly athletic and in 5 short years i had pretty much stopped excersizing and weighed almost 310 pounds. I cant even explain to you the love and respect I have for my wife who loved me unconditionally and never said a word about my weight. All she ever told me was "I love you and if you are happy with the way you look thats all that matters." Well I wasnt happy so a few dietary changes and a set workout schedule took me from 310 pounds to 230 pounds. And while that is awesome and one of the hardest things I have ever done the person that reserves real credit is my wife. I don't know any.. ANY.. guy who could watch their wife gain 80 pounds and not call them out. It takes a strong person to loose 80 pounds but it takes a remarkable person behind that person to quietly motivate them to make their life better both physically and mentally.

I love you honey and you make me want to be a better person and even if I dont always make you feel that way please forgive me and I will try harder.

these 2 pictures are me in october of '07.
and this is me now! My dome is still big but at least now its not huge.

Some oldies but goodies

Daddy took the kids up to Target on a long walk and by the time we got

Good Time at the Zoo.

The boys just love to see the animals. Especially throwing sticks and rocks at the ducks.

College Football is here!

At a Boy.

Recycle day at the Hunt house.

Payton loves when the garbage guys come by but Logan well not so much. Enjoy.

This is how bad its gotten!

My totally awesome sports store / man heaven / man cave decoration locator has been completly invaded by High School Musical and Miley Cyrus. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

And the sad thing is that it sells so fast. In business you have got to stay with whats hot but for my front window to be covered by these yahoos is insane. Anybody need any signed miley, sharpay, britney, hillary, daizy duke, or jonas bros autographs i am your man. A very very very sad man!

Here is Paytons favorite hobby.

Lolo

What a ham!! :0)
Logan usually is so busy, he won't stop to eat. Here he is with ketchup on his face and eating a cheese crisp out on the jungle gym. Gotta love it!

1st Ultrasound

Hello all! Well here is the first look and #3 (it's that small peanut looking thing under the word embryo). Not much to see yet, but he/she will get bigger before we all know it. Anyone have any names? We're thinking maybe Wesley, Jackson, Filaberto (Moose's suggestion). I can't let myself think of girl names. I'm just going to assume it's a boy. Anyways, I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Love you all!

P.S. In case you are wondering, that big black blob on the top is my VERY full bladder :0)

Fun day at Desert Ridge

It's become a tradition of ours to play at Desert Ridge and share a meal at Island's. Fun family bonding ;0)

News spreads pretty fast so I am sure everyone already knows of our fantastic news. #3 is on the way!!! We are due March 20 (anyone surprised?) More news to follow...

Your kids are more important...

This quote is from a mom who struggled with spending time with her kids or keeping up with the chores, and I wish more parents would invest their time with their kids.

"Draw a happy face in the dust and go out and have a good time"

It reminds me that my kids won't always be around and want my attention.
