Nothing New

We got this chair for Hunter for Christmas, well when he only has on a diaper and plays on it, the diaper tabs get stuck. The next thing we know, he's completely out of his diaper running around buck naked....sooo funny!I put mine and Colt's shoes on the other side of this gate because Hunter likes to play with shoes which is gross! Hunter has seen me do it so many times that when I don't get to the shoes in time he throws them over for me, adorable! What isn't adorable is that now everything has to be thrown over the gate. Diapers (clean ones), toys, binkies, clothes, you name it it goes over the gate.
When we went to visit WV earlier this month, Dad took the box their new washer came in and made a little fort for Hunter, he loved it!
They were good buddies the whole trip. Hunter would start crying so hard when Dad would finally bring him inside because they had so much fun. They even rode the 4-wheeler!
Here's Hunter playing with the deer feed that he puts out for his "pet" deer. Mom kept finding it all over the house cause Hunter took the bucket and dumped it all over himself.

So, I don't really have too much going on. Just going to school, taking care of Hunter and Colt, and the house, that's pretty much it. Kind of a boring time going on right now. We do have some fun stuff coming up in June, we'll be married for "five" years and we're also going on vacation to Florida! So, that's pretty much it.

Quake

If any of you missed it, Illinois had an Earthquake! It happened at about 4:30 am and originated around West Salem, that's about 100 mi from where I live, I think. Anyway, I couldn't sleep cause Colt kept snoring so I was lying on the couch. I was almost asleep when I felt the whole house shake! At first I thought it was the wind cause the wind can shake a house, but this was much much more. After a few seconds, I realized that this was definitely more than the wind and might just be an earthquake. I've never been in one before and this one wasn't really that bad, but it definitely scared me. It was also very disorienting. I didn't know what to do and after it was over I felt bad that I didn't run to get Hunter and wake Colt up. But it wasn't really bad, nothing fell off of anything and within 30 seconds it was over. So, everyone is ok, Colt and Hunter slept right through it and that's about it.

My Papaw

This was in the house he had in Florida where he and my mamaw went every winter.Here are Jesse and I sporting very cool Kool-aid mustaches. I'm on the left just in case anyone was confused.
Papaw loved fishing!
And here is my baby, enjoying life just like his namesake.

My cousin Jesseca recently got in touch with me and we are actually going to be at home at the same time, that hardly ever happens with people that live away like I do, hence Tiff and I never being in at the same time. Well in our correspondence, she sent me some pics of my papaw and of us with out Great-Grandma McDougal (I don't remember her, but I looked like I was having fun). For those of you who didn't know my papaw, he was one of the greatest people I have ever known in my entire life. He thoroughly enjoyed life, especially food :) and never met a stranger. Unfortunately he passed away a couple of years ago, but he is in my thoughts daily and I have also named my son after him and after one of his favorite past times. He loved hunting (which every guy in both mine and Colt's family do) and my papaws first name was William, Hunter William Guthridge. So, here are a few pictures of my papaw Earl and of me and my cousin Jesse when we were little.
