A new record!!!










I think that posting two days in a row will definately be a record for me! :) Hunter is watching Cars for the millionth time, but I'm pretty sure he's fighting off this nasty cold that Ben and I both had, so I figure resting probably isn't such a bad thing. Ben is off to try to pick up the mattress set that we bought today for our spare room, hopefully he can somehow secure it to the top of his 4runner, I guess we will see. He forgot his cell phone, so I'm actually a bit nervous about the whole ordeal, but I'm trying to remain calm and just trust that it's all going to be alright! Anyway, I thought some new pictures would be appreciated so here they are. Enjoy!

Yeah, yeah... :)

So I think that I probably say this all the time, but I seriously must be the WORST blogger! I feel like we are just always so busy, and maybe it is actually a good thing, but this always gets put off to the end of the perpetual "to do" list. Anyway, we are doing great. Hunter is getting bigger all the time, he's a solid three feet tall now and at least 35 lbs, so he is definately growing strong, football - here we come! We had quite a bit of craziness with Ben's truck, but that has FINALLY gotten taken care of, and he is enjoying the new lifted 4runner with "big tires" as Hunter says :) I have finished my first grad class, woohoo!!! I think that I only have 12 or so left to go. I'll be done in no time! Okay, that's a lie, but Ben will actually have his first master's degree by the end of February and that is awesome. He is taking it super fast and will have only taken 6 or 7 months to earn the entire degree. Needless to say, we are pretty boring most nights and are usually both cramming at the computer, writing papers and fun stuff like that! We did finally take some time to go to St. Louis and had a great weekend with Hunter. We went to an amazing children's museum called the Magic House, visited Cabela's, had dinner at the tap room and stayed right downtown. The next day we went to "A Day Out with Thomas" and then to the zoo...so much fun! We have all been a little under the weather, but it just comes with the territory this time of year. Anyway, I will post new pics soon, my boys just got home from running a few errands and I think they brought ice cream for our apple pie, yummy!!! :)
Love, em
