Hunsakers Happenings

Tyler's B-Day and Easter Morning!

2011-05-03T11:37:00.006-04:00

On April 17th our baby turned 2, which is hard to believe. He has added so much joy to our family, and so much energy. I will always wonder why God gave children so much more energy than their parents. It seems that we are always chasing him or cleaning up his messes. I have decided that he is going to keep us young. We have lots of fun though.

We had a little party for him at our house and this was his cupcake tower.He has so much fun blowing out the candles I think we lit them 3 times. It was soooo cute.This was his happy face after he blew the candles out.And this is the mess he made with his cupcake.She also really enjoyed the cupcakes too.This little man ended up getting blue icing in his ear, and yes he enjoyed his also.Every time Papaw comes over this is a tradition. He finally has his boys to romp around with.

Aunt Becca is always taking pics with the kids and they think it is great.

We had a great Easter this year. We had great services and really enjoyed the day. We started the day off with an Easter egg hunt and Easter baskets.

She found the 1st one.....

....the 2nd one....

..and this was little man's reaction to his findings.

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!

February and March Happenings!

2011-04-03T20:08:00.006-04:00

Our church had a "You are Special" Banquet around Valentines Day and this is our attempt to get a good picture of Jason and I. We did have a very enjoyable time and lots of good food though. I came home on the Saturday before Valentines Day and this is what Jason had arranged on the kitchen counter. He is sooo sweet. Well this next picture was the makings of a really bad day for me. I have told a few people that if I don't quit making these kinds of mistakes Jason is going to try and trade me in for someone cheaper. We have it fixed now but we had to go for about 2 weeks without the van, and the kids were sooo excited when we got it back. They still are telling everyone that we finally have a window in the back of the van. Every time I leave the house now Austin tells me to be careful. He is so cute. Now for the cute stuff. This little girl is getting way too big. She is turning into a beautiful little lady. This is Tyler trying to give Austin a kiss. I love his eyes in this picture. He is always thinging of other people and he is going to be a heartbreaker.

And this one is oh so rotten, but oh so cute.

Computer problems!!

2011-02-10T11:14:00.004-05:00

We have been having some computer issues lately. We can get on computer, but we have to sit there for hours so I am updating from work to let you know that I will hopefully update soon with some pictures. I would love to have a computer that works soon. I hope you have a great Valentines Day!!

Getting in the Christmas Mood!

2010-12-14T21:27:00.002-05:00

This is just pure cuteness. He loves to be the center of attention and he was sure getting it this time. We were eating out and we had given him his own bowl to eat out of. Well he decided that dipping the chip was getting enough cheese I guess, so he decided he would lick the bowl instead. He had cheese everywhere and we were all having fun watching him when I noticed that the people around us were having just as much fun. We ended up having one little girl from the booth behind us sitting with us before it was all over. He sure had fun though.

We were at walmart the other day and they found this hat and had soooo much fun with it. It danced and played music while it was on your head. It really was cute.

Our little silly man!!

This one was not too sure of it. He liked it when it was on Austin and Emilee's head, but not on his.

We hope you are having a great Christmas season and that you have your Christmas shopping done or just about done.

Some of our everyday happenings

2010-11-21T18:01:00.006-05:00

I want to post these first two pictures, because I wanted to show you a comparison between our 2 boys. In these pictures they are only a few months different in ages. Tyler is a little older.
This one is Austin.And this is Tyler. Every year I let the kids go to a few neighbors, the fire department and then to Grandma Jackies. This year we had a dog, frog and a lion. They did have a lot of fun and they got quite a bit of candy.I could not get this little lion to look at the camera for anything. But he was adorable.This picture shows you exactly what I am doing constantly. If you look closely Tyler is not facing the same way as the other 2. He is running in the opposite direction as fast as he could. Thankfully he is listening and I did get him running in the right direction pretty quickly.

I have wanted to put cornstalks on our front posts for several years. I decided this year I was going to accomplish it. We had corn fields all around our house this year, but I feel like it is stealing to just go and cut some down, so I was waiting (not so patiently) for them to get into the field and start harvesting it. I waited and waited and all the other field we coming off, but not the ones by our house. So I finally went looking to buy some. I bought them, unloaded them and decided that I would fix supper before I decorated. I don't think I was finished with supper before the farmer was in the field. So I decorated with the sound of a combine in the background. Aahhhh!! Oh well I love the end result.

This poor child always has a battle wound. I was hoping that it would end with time, but I think it is going to just be a part of his life. This pic shows his black eye he received at our Church's Family retreat. I still think he is a little cutie.

This is our climber. He climbs on everything. Here is getting ready to jump from our bed.

Just more cuteness.

Our little schoolgirl. She likes school and is doing a good job and getting good grades. We are very proud of her.

We hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

My Birthday photo session.

2010-10-14T20:25:00.008-04:00

Well that is if you count my mom's front porch and the front of the church as a photo session. My mom has been wanting to get my picture for a while, so I finally said that I would. I also talked my husband into getting his picture with me. It took a lot of talking but he finally agreed. And I think he did a great job. He is a wonderful husband!! Out of my 3 children, she was the only one that wanted to get her picture with her mommy. And she looked away at the last minute. Oh well I still think she is beautiful.

This is my wonderful Grandma. She never is one to get her picture taken and she did Sunday. She is a great Grandma!!!

This little girl is my pride and joy. She is my only girl and we like it that way. The girls like to do things together like.......shopping!!! I think she is absolutely wonderful!

This is my little man. He is always sooo loving. He is starting to really show that he has a tender heart. The littlest things bother him. He is a joy to have in our home.
He is our last pride and joy. He is soooo cute and cuddly. He just did not want to sit still, so the picture is a little blurry, but I think its still cute.

About 3 years on my birthday I had my picture taken in front of the church with Emilee and Austin. I have the picture hanging on our fridge and I wanted to get it a little more current. We have added another child to the Hunsaker household so I thought I should update. Well the kids didn't really like that idea I guess. This is the best we could get. Believe some of the pictures were quite funny.

I had a great birthday. ~10-10-10~ My mom had us over after church and fixed fried chicken with mashed potatoes and fried chicken gravy and the whole works, including cake and ice cream. A big thank you to all of my family for making it such a special day.

Summer Fun!

2010-09-07T17:07:00.009-04:00

It has been forever since I last posted, so I have lots of pictures to post. Alot has happened and I am only posting a few pics from some of the events, but we have had a great summer. It has been very very busy, but it has been alot of fun.

The 1st pictures are when Maria was home. We ate at China Gate when she was home and the kids enjoyed every moment of her being here. They also were able to suprise her at the airport, which made Maria very happy.
We also went to the zoo. They really enjoyed all the animals. I think they enjoyed the monkeys the most. Austin still talks about them.Maria suggested that they make a funny face. They enjoyed that.

Our 1st baby was born August 11th, 2004. We thought we were going to have a boy, and were very surprised and very happy when we had a beautiful baby girl. She was the most beautiful baby that we had ever seen. She looked like her daddy, and she had dark skin and lots of beautiful dark hair. We named her Emilee (her daddy picked it out) and she has filled our lives with joy. She now is in first grade and she is getting more beautiful every day.

The flip flops that Mamaw Spencer made for her.

We have decided that this little boy is going to keep our lives very busy. He is always on the go. He does not walk anymore he just runs everywhere. There is not a thing in this house that is Tyler proof. He is already getting on to our bed which the other 2 didn't do until they were at least 2 or 3. He figures just about anything he is not supposed to do, is a challenge to try. Emilee keeps her door shut all the time. The only problem is now he know how to open them. Tonight I was busy and Jason was on the computer and next thing we know it is quiet. Jason went looking and he was outside. So we are going to have to keep the doors locked at all times I guess.

This is just a little mess he made and I thought it was too cute.

My parents, sisters and us went to hear the Collingsworths. We had a great time, great food and heard great singing.

The tooth fairy had to make a visit to our home a while back. Emilee lost her 1st tooth. She was soooo excited. The only problem was that when the tooth fairy came in the middle of the night, she must have been getting into Emilee's things. When Emilee got up the next morning she told me that the tooth fairy got into her drawers, because there was a barrette on the floor that she put there. So if the tooth fairy has to come to your house make sure she does not get into your stuff.

This is Austin checking it out.

Showing off her new smile.

This past weekend we went camping. We had a great time. It was a little chilly until Monday, but on Monday we were able to get on the boat and have some fun. Austin wanted to get into the tube, so Rachel went with him and he had so much fun that when we stopped the boat and I started to pull them in, he started crying.

We kept trying to get Emilee to try it and she kept saying no because she was scared. Finally she must have realized that it would be fun, and we would not go fast enough for her. (She wanted to go faster than Mommy would allow.)

I was able to get a picture when Austin was in the tube. I didn't think it turned out so I did not take one when it was Emilee's turn, but I guess I should have because you can just barely see Austin beside Rachel in the tube.

Hopefully there will not be as much time between this post and the next as there was the post before this one.

I hope all of you had a great summer.

Picture Time!

2010-06-16T20:11:00.004-04:00

This picture session was totally unexpected. We had gone to Dayton to go shopping with Rachel and we no more walked into JCP and this lady came over to us and asked if we would like to get the kids pictures taken. She said she would give us pics for free plus a really good coupon. I knew it was past time to get Emilee and Austin's pictures taken, so I agreed. We did not have Austin with us though, so I decided to just get Emilee's taken since I had got Tyler's taken not too long ago.
Once we got up to the studio I realized she had flip flops on. So I told the lady to just not get her feet in any of the pics. Rebecca was with us and she suggested that she just go bare foot, and I love the way they turned out.
I have decided that this is the way to do it, totally unexpected. I did not stress over what she was going to wear or how she would smile, and they were great pics.

My Favorite!!

After I got Emilee's pics I knew I had better get Austin's done quickly if I wanted them to both be back while Maria is here, so off to JCP I went with Austin. This time I did stress a little, because he hates to get his pictures taken. He always sticks his tongue out or makes a funny face or something, but he did a really good job. It always helps when they take a liken to your child. And as soon as they were taken he was ready to go. He did not even want to look at them. He told the employees that he was tired of that place.

My Favorite!!

Emilee's Awards Banquet and Kindergarten Graduation.

2010-06-02T09:00:00.003-04:00

This was Emilee's 1st Awards Banquet and she was really nervous. She told me before it started that earlier that day when they were practicing that everytime she went up front her legs would shake and she didn't want to have to go up on the platform "for the real thing." All in all she did a wonderful job. She received 2 awards. One for the highest pace average-runner up, and then 1 for being on Honor Roll. Jason and I are very proud of her.

This is her and her best friend, Kaitlynn. The were having a lot of fun showing off their trophys.The Graduation was on Friday night and this was the 2 Kindergarten Graduates before getting their gowns on. It was funny though. One was crying before the Graduation and the other was crying after Graduation. I think their nerves were shot.

This is what she had to put up with twice. I had put her hair in curlers before we left the house, but when I took them out the curl came out with the the curlers, so when we got to the church we tried it again and that time it worked.

This was the result.

She looked beautiful.

When I saw her start down the isle I just hoped that she would make it. She had a look of terror on her face, and I was hoping that she would not cry. (I waited until she was past me and then I lost it.) I knew that if she saw me crying that would be the end of it, so I just smiled really big and she kept looking at me and she made it all the way to her seat!!!

Kaitlynn looked beautiful and happy also.

My dad saying the prayer.One very happy little girl.1st grade, here they come!!!

We were a very happy and proud little family.

And this was almost everyone that came just for her. Congratulations Emilee!!

The reason behind not posting much lately.

2010-06-01T14:09:00.002-04:00

I decided that I would like to paint our Kitchen since it has been the same color since we moved in 8 years ago. So I had been wanting to paint it a red color, and I finally found a color that Jason and I agreed on so.....we started painting. We painted and painted and painted, and after 4 coats and it still was not like I wanted it, we finally called it quits. After a week of looking at it I decided to get flat paint and try that since we had started out with semi-gloss. I called my mom and have it almost finished and it is finally looking like what I want it too. We still have to go around the ceiling and touch up a few spots, but I think it looks nice.
So here is what my kitchen looked like for a little over 7 years.And this is what it now looks like. Please excuse the lights in the windows, but sometime during painting the one quit working.

Sorry I do not have any pics of the dining room before I started because when I remembered to take pictures, I had already started tearing off the border, but I am really happy with the way it has turned out so far.

We also have had to landscape the front of our house. This spring when everything started turning green I noticed that several of our bushes were not doing anything. 4 bushes out of our 8 had died and I can't say that I was really sad. I have not been real happy with the way our landscaping has been, so I decided it was time to do something else. I am not 100% happy with the new look and I think it is because the bushes are still small, but hopefully I will like it and it will be what I have visioned here pretty soon.

Tyler's 1st B-Day

2010-05-25T16:01:00.000-04:00

On April 17th one year ago we were blessed with another blessing from God, Tyler. He was and still is a beautiful baby. And yes I think our "boy" is beautiful. I still have people tell me that he is too pretty to be a boy. I will make sure and remind him of that when he turns sixteen.
But I had to reminisce a little because I am really wondering where the time has gone to think that he is a year old already. It has been a great year though. He was a very good baby and now he gets into everything plus. Jason told someone that he thinks of things the other 2 put together has never thought of. He is going to be very healthy though, because he has already eaten his fair share of dirt. We have plants in the house and he likes the dirt.
I loose him all the time and usually find him in a closet, but the other day our neighbor was over and we were talking and all of a sudden I realized that he was quiet. Yes, not good. So we both started looking. I did not find him in the kitchen or living room, so I started down the hall when she yelled that she found him. I went towards her voice and found her..........outside. He had opened up the sliding screen door and went across the deck, down the steps and was halfway to the swing set. He was so proud of himself. I was not so happy.....
This was one of his 1st pictures and I loved all his beautiful hair. But he all to quickly went from this to..

....this. Our handsome 1 year old.This was at his birthday party and he was not too sure about the hat.

His cake was so cute even though he was not sure about it at first, but he quickly found out that it was good stuff. (thanks Cathy)

Here is his mess, and he also had fun feeding it to people.

He even looks cute with a red face and red hands!!!!

A look at our Easter through pic's.

2010-04-14T18:59:00.000-04:00

This is what the kids woke up to Sunday morning, before church. It was a beautiful day outside, which is the way I like to think it was the day when Jesus came out of the tomb the First Easter morning.
Happy sleepy looking kids.

They were having a great time trying to find the eggs that we hid all around the living room.

I was able to find them matching outfits this Easter and they really did look adorable.

Our baby that is just about to turn 1:(

Austin being a little ham, which is crazy becasue he never want to even smile.

She was laughing so hard, but I still think it is cute.

The next few picture's are when we were at my Grandma's house. They had eggs hidden all through the yard and the kids really had a good time looking for them.

They were surveying how much candy they got.

Family pic's

2010-04-12T22:35:00.000-04:00

The 1st one is our favorite one. We really did have a good time and the kids didn't get too fussy. So all in all I do believe that is was a sucess.

We also a few weeks back had Tyler's 1st year's pictures taken. They turned out really cute. I have put 1 new one on the side. I will post more later.

~Little Cuties~

2010-03-15T19:28:00.000-04:00

He does not like his picture taken, so this was a very good picture compared to the other ones. He usually has his mouth wide open, or making a ridiculous face, but this time I finally caught him not really paying attention at the moment.

On the other hand this one loves to get her picture taken and is a little ham. She looked beautiful, and she loved the dress which helps. She is getting quite picky these days with her clothes.

Showing off his new haircut, and as usual he is getting ready to get into something.

Forgotten post.

2010-02-10T16:02:00.000-05:00

I had started this post a long time ago and I never had time to get back to it. Sorry.
This is a little guy that always keeps us in stitches. He is so much fun and tiny. He only weighs about 8 or 9 pounds more than Tyler, and is about 3 years older. Some more fun pictures.

This was my Mom's Birthday, and it was Jan. 30th. So I am just a little behind in my blogging!!
She is a wonderful Mother!! P.S. This was the 1st candle I saw so we just used it.

Rachel enjoying her time with the kids while she is home.

On the move!!

2010-01-27T16:05:00.000-05:00

Well at least Tyler is. Nothing is safe anymore. I leave him for 2 seconds and either he gets stuck between things, he has something he is not supposed to or making a mess. And lately the mess part has been just about everyday. Here is a picture of the mess he made the other night while I was on the computer. He us 9 months old now and is a ball of fun.

~Date Night~

2010-01-25T18:02:00.000-05:00

On Saturday night my hubby and I had a date night. It was supposed to be a surprise for me, but I kinda ruined that one. Anyways Jason had bought tickets for us to go see the Booth Brother's. We ate dinner first at J. Alexander's in Dayton. It was an awesome meal. The only thing that we would have done different was when we got to the restaurant the lady that seated us asked us if we wanted some "rolls." We thought they were dinner rolls, boy were we ever wrong. They brought us these Mexican looking things that all I could see was what I thought were black olives. Jason tasted them and realized that they were black beans.

They honestly were very good, but we kept looking at them and wondering how much these funny looking things cost us. To make a long story short, they ended up costing us $8.00, and we have decided that we never are going to say "yes" to rolls before asking how much they are first. Here is a picture of our "rolls"

Sorry that the quality of the pic's are not that great, but they are from my cell phone. I had to be very careful, because on the menu it asked that there please be no cell phone's in the dining room, so we figured that we had better not ask the waitress to take a picture of us at our table.

I took some more pic's so when I said that my baked potato was huge, you would believe me. I read somewhere that they were pound potatoes. I took over half of it and my chicken home.

I also took a pic of Jason's plate so he could always remember what his awesome steak looked like.

We had a really good time, just the two of us. The concert was the best one we have ever been too. They really did a good job and they were constantly reading scripture and at the end of the concert Michael Booth explained the plan of Salvation. He also played the drums and sang at the same time. I think that would be difficult having your foot and both hands playing the drums all in a different beat and still singing in the same tempo that the others were. Pretty neat! The concert was at a Baptist Church, and after Michael saying that he hoped that they don't believe that they are going to Heaven because they prayed once, a long time ago and asked for forgivness that now everything is just fine. I hope they get called back. But he was right in what he was telling them, that is was alot more than just praying once, but that you need to have a changed life and live everyday for God.

Oh and BTW, I hope you weren't hungry before you starting reading this post!!!

Finally some pic's from our Christmas!

2010-01-11T20:07:00.001-05:00

I thought I would start this post out with some goodies to help me remember some of the things that helped put on a few extra pounds this Christmas season. There definitely was not a shortage on the food this year.We did have a very fun and busy Christmas. We started at 4:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and didn't stop until about 10:00 p.m. on Christmas night. We first went to Jason's Grandma and Grandpa Hagers house and them my parents on Christmas Eve. We did not get home from there house until 1:30 Christmas morning. We were to be at Jason's parents at 9 a.m. but sometime during the night the power went out, and we woke up at about 8:45 to a blinking clock, so that was when I went into high gear for a while. We made it about a half hour late and had a very nice breakfast and then Christmas with them. We were supposed to be at my Grandma Spencer's at 12 noon, but we were again about a half hour late to her house. We had lunch and Christmas with my Dad's side of the family, and then rushed home to straighten up our house and fix and light supper, because my parent and sisters and his parents and brother and sisters were to be at our house at 6. Then on Saturday we were to be somewhere between Dayton and Columbus for Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker's side. And we had a fun time there too. So yes, it was very very busy, but we did enjoy it and were looking forward to a quite New Year's Day. All I did was stay in my pajamas and do laundry and clean the house. It was nice. So here are a few pictures of our different Christmas'.
Check out those eyes!!Checking it out very carefully.
She is all into Barbie's this year, and she did get quite a few too.This is all but 2 of my Dad's brother and sisters. My Dad's brother David was killed about 15 years ago, and then his brother Rex couldn't make it, but the back row L to R is Joyce and Sue, the next row is Mike, my Grandma, Jr. and then my Dad. I think he liked the fire truck, what do you think?

Maria is almost always in the kitchen, but it sure was nice having her home for Christmas.

She loved the horse.

My beautiful mother and the very annoying guitar she got the kids.
Tyler in his new jamies.

This is all the grand kids on the Hunsaker's side. Well there is 5 missing, but all that was able to make it.

One of my beautiful sisters.

And here is the other beautiful one and my beautiful daughter.

Until next Christmas......

~Merry Christmas~

2009-12-24T23:07:00.001-05:00

Earlier today I went to Walmart and people were absolutely everywhere. I was thinking I was I dodging people left and right and trying to smile at everyone, it seems that no one knows the real meaning of Christmas anymore. People were trying to get the last minute gifts and everything that they are going to need for Christmas, and everyone was in a hurry. No one really seemed happy.
I want to teach my children that presents are not the reason, nor the center of what the day is all about.

As we were passing a house on the way to my parents, they had a little Santa Clause in every window and then had a little manger scene at the bottom of one of the windows. I told Jason that totally does not even look right, but anymore they both seem to just be a figure at Christmas.
I want Jesus to be the real reason of our celebration and to keep Christ in Christmas. I hope all of can say that we have kept Christ in our Christmas, and we hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Odds and Ends.

2009-12-09T18:53:00.000-05:00

Well that is kinda how I feel about this post. A little bit of everything.

This was at Emilee's schools Christmas program. She was an angel and had to say a little line in the program. She did a really good job. We had practiced her line over and over so much that Austin knew it by heart too. And he told her if she was saying it wrong. I don't have any pictures of the program, because I do not have the best camera in the world and they were using the spotlight so the pictures are really dark. She was sooooo happy to be in the program.

They love to color, so this is how you will find them most of the time anymore.

I love this picture. She has a really cute personality.

This little man looks like he has a "pop" belly in this picture. He is so much fun.

We hope you all..

2009-11-29T22:23:00.000-05:00

... had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We had a very good Thanksgiving with Maria surprising everyone and coming home. The kids have enjoyed her being here so much already. Every time that Austin has to tell her goodbye he cries, because he thinks that she is leaving to go back to Guatemala already and he doesn't want her to leave. I have a few pictures to post hopefully I can do that soon, but we just hope your Thanksgiving was filled with family and fun and lots of thankfulness.

Tyler's first haircut.

2009-11-13T15:47:00.000-05:00

I really wanted to wait for a little bit longer forthe first haircut, but he was starting to look like a little girl, so we decided that it was time. So here is some pictures of his 1st haircut. BTW he didn't even cry, and neither did mommy. YAY!!!! Well now I feel like crying everytime I look at him becasue he looks like a big boy. I saved all the hair I cut off and the I wanted to save a curl, so it is the one with the twistie tie on it.
This is the new look. Soooooo cute.

We tried doing Austins hair a little different for church a week or so ago, and he looked so cute, but he absolutly hates it. So to save myself some heartache I don't know how often I will do it this way, because there is lots of tears shed when done this way.

~Tyler~

2009-10-31T22:21:00.000-04:00

These are his 6 month pictures. He did a really good job. I always hate it when they take really good pictures, because I have a hard time picking out which pictures I like the best. But they all were good, and I am happy with all of them. I love his eyes!!!!

In Home Studio!!

2009-10-15T19:57:00.001-04:00

This past week we had an in home studio picture session. Emilee was soooo excited, Austin wasn't so sure about it and Tyler thought it was the worst idea ever. I have decided that this will not happen again for a very long time.
I worked at JC Penny's photography studio for a while before we were married, so I decided I did know a little about taking pictures and getting things set up, the only thing I did not plan on was the unhappy children. I did manage to get one good picture of all 3 of them so at least not all of my effort was in vain.
So here are some of the pictures that we took. The ones of them individually are pretty good. Just have to do something about the red eye.

I had to put one picture in the shows a little of my struggles.

Tyler is just learing to sit up and is doing really well. I was taking some pictures of him sitting up and I just so happened to catch him as he was falling over. He looks so cute just sitting there all by himself.

Picture Overload!!

2009-10-08T20:01:00.000-04:00

I thought I would start this post out with a little happy boy. He is pure happiness. And we are all in love with him. Most of the time the kids cannot keep their hands off of him, and well neither can Mommy. He is adorable. This past weekend was our fall church retreat. We had lots of laughs and made lots of memories. The picture below is one of those cute times that we were happy to be able to catch a glimpse of on the camera.
Allison is kissing Noah and she was backing him up in the corner. It was sooo cute.

As you can tell they were really busy helping clean up.

Such a good baby!!!

Rachel and Austin cuddling.

Sally and Karis, some of Emilee's friends.

Bro. & Sis. Alley. Two wonderful people.

My wonderful parents.

She looks like she is up to no good.I think they were trying to look busy, but...

Allison was loving walking around in my shoes.

This is what they had been waiting for the whole weekend. They loved getting a bath in the big sink.

I tried to catch him in the act, but couldn't. He was bent over backwards trying to get the chips. It was really cute.

I think they are starting a little young. But ohhh they are cute

My sweet hubby with the cookies that Maria sent him for his birthday.

The next few pictures are of the parade of Fire Trucks for the Asst. Fire Chief of our department. He passed away at the age of 44, he was diagnosed with cancer 1 year ago. The parade was one of the neatest and most tear jerking things I have ever seen.

The Fire Trucks drove for 2 hours by 7 Fire Stations. The pictures are in order starting at the funeral home and ending at the cemetery.This is the truck that Jason was in.
This flag was huge. They had to tie it down.

This is what I fixed for our 7th anniversary dinner. It was good and looked really pretty.

Its hard to believe that we have been married for 7 years already. I can honestly say they have been the best and most fulfilling years of my life. I want to be married to Jason for many more years.

Emilee's First Day of School.

2009-09-08T15:41:00.000-04:00

We must be getting old to already have a child in school, well it is making me feel really old. And then the fact that she is old enough to go to school blows my mind too. She was so excited to go to school. We put her to bed at 9:30 the night before and she was still awake at 11:00 p.m. She was so excited that she could not even go to sleep.
I had taken that day off from work, because I wanted to take her to school and take pictures. I fixed the kids eggs with cheese and hot dogs in it (thanks to Grandpa Hunsaker for starting the hot dog thing.) She didn't eat much because of all the excitement, so we got ready and took her to her first day of school. Once we got to school she was soooo happy because she and Kaitlynn had the same lunch box and little school box, and she thought that was great.
She had a good day at school and then was disappointed that it was Friday, because she wanted to go back the next day.
She has been in school for a week now, and loves it.
So far Mommy has done pretty good. I only shed a few tears the first day. Austin was lost the first day, but has been pretty good since then. Tyler I don't think misses her, but she sure misses him. He is the first person she wants to see when she gets home.
Here are some pictures of her first day at school. She is all ready and waiting not so patiently for us to walk out the door.

Getting to see her desk for the first time. Look at that smile!!!

Her and her friend, or should I say partner in crime? HA!

The next 2 pictures show what Austin thought of the whole thing.

And this is what Tyler did.

The next few pics are the little photo session I had for Tyler. He is 4 months and is a little ham. He is cutting 2 teeth and they are giving him and Mommy alot of grief right now, hopefully they will be here in the next few days. He is getting to be a little handful. And the days are over of holding him and sitting "close" to the table or anything for that matter. He also has found out that he has hair. He grabs his head and just looks at you, it is soooo cute.

I hope you enjoy the pics!!!

Randomness!

2009-08-27T17:04:00.000-04:00

This picture just makes me laugh.He is now a big boy sitting in the high chair. He is just pure cuteness!!!

Emilee's 5th Birthday

2009-08-15T16:48:00.000-04:00

Sorry my blogging has not been so great lately, so now I am playing catch up.

(I have no idea how I got the next few sentences highlighted) Its hard to believe that Emilee is now 5 years old. It seems like the days fly by. (especially since the 3rd child) She is out of the toddler stage and is starting to look like an little girl and I am not liking it. She still should be a toddler, but now she will be going to school, and I know that Mommy is going to have a much harder time with it than she is.

We have been getting the things that she needs for school and she thinks it is wonderful. She is really excited to get to go to school. I hope that excitement lasts for about 13 years.

For her birthday she, like Austin wanted to go to Chuck-e-Cheese. We all had a good time and she got some needed things and some toys that were not so needed, well at least Mommy thinks so. We bought her a dress up chest. It has a few different outfits that she can dress up in like a princess, and she loves it. Sorry they are not picture worthy, but at least she is having fun with them.This was her favorite thing there.The big space between them and Chucky is because they were a little apprehensive of getting tooooo close.

A little bit of everything.....

2009-07-27T18:56:00.001-04:00

That has been happening in our life lately. We have been super busy, and usually when that happens the thing that I neglect the most is sleep, so yes we are a little tired these day's, but all for good reasons. I don't really have the pictures in order, but at least you will get the idea. It started a couple of weeks ago. Our stove died, and so we had to go searching for another one quickly. I did like the fact the my kitchen was officially closed, but that caused another expense, because of eating out. But we searched and searched for a new stove in the color that our old stove was and every other appliance in our kitchen which is a cream color. Well if you have cream color appliances don't let them die or you are in for a real treat. They are doing away with the cream color. You can find in very select few and then its quite a bit more expensive, so the color we went with was black, because I thought it went better with cream than white. So here is a picture of it, and I really like it.

This past weekend was the Fireman's Jamboree in our little town and where Jason is a firefighter, and Friday night they had an old car show and a few other fun things going on, but someone had brought this little game of corn hole, and Austin and his little friend had fun playing with it. They were so cute. Austin is 3 and the other little guy is almost 2, and the other little guy stands quite a few inches taller than Austin and is in 4T clothes and Austin is in 24 months still. Sorry the pictures are not the best quality, but they are from my cell phone and trying to get them to stand still for a picture was impossible.

The next few pictures are for Grandpa and Grandma's 5oth Wedding Anniversary party.
This is a picture of my hard work and frustration. If you have been in the market for dressy cream socks, well I might as well save you from some agony and tell you that they do not exist, at least in our part of the neighborhood. So I finally bought socks and sewed on the lace. They wanted Emilee to wear dressy socks and I was to buy 2 pairs, so I made them.

And they also wanted me to bring a veggie tray for about 75 people, but they wanted to to be pretty, so I had to be creative, and this is what the end result was. And to say the least I think all that was eaten was 3 carrots and 2 celery sticks, so we are going to be eating veggies until they are coming out our ears!!!!

Emilee and Austin were both in the Wedding part of the party. They renewed their vows, and everything turned our really nice. And here is our pretty little girl.

And our handsome little boy.
Trying to get them to smile together, but to no avail.

Her hair looked very pretty.

This was Austin's dress rehearsal.

Our little man after everything was just about over, and mommy was trying to keep him quiet.

Eating his candy that Papaw gave him to try to get him to stand still during the ceremony.

Emilee was dropping flowers for Grandma to walk on.

And Austin in motion carrying the roses for them to exchange.

We took a little trip to Bass Pro shops with my parents and they kids enjoyed playing in the tents and looking at the boats.

12 weeks already??

2009-07-10T15:30:00.001-04:00

It was beginning to seem that he never was going to get here, and now that he is here it seems like the days are flying by. He has brought so much more joy to our little family. He is a happy little guy most of the time, but he definitely let's us know when he is hungry though. Emilee is a big help. The other day I had him in his car seat on the couch and I was in the bedroom when I heard Emilee grunting and huffing and puffing as she was pulling him down the hallway to me. She had somehow gotten him off the couch in his car seat and still in one piece.
He is always smiling and cooing at us, well that is until we get the camera or phone out and then he is too interested in them to do anything else.
Well I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoy him!!
~Tyler Bradley Hunsaker~ He was getting tired of me taking his picture though.

All clean and happy after his bath. He loves to get a bath. He might be really fussy, but all I have to do is sit him in the water and he starts smiling.

2009-07-07T21:13:00.000-04:00

We hope you all had a great 4th of July Holiday. We had a good time with family and friends. We went to my parents around 4:30 in the afternoon and ate, played volleyball and then around 9:30 we all loaded up and went to see the fireworks and let the kids play with sparklers which they really enjoyed. But here are a few pictures of our day.
Our little sleeping prince!!!Having fun at Grandma's.The cake I made.The beautiful and yummy strawberries that my Mom made.Karyle just work up and I don't think she was in the mood to get her picture taken.This is a cute little baby with a big belly that I found on our bed.....

...and a couple of cute kids in our bathtub that were having a lot of fun.My sister Rebecca and Karter.

Here is a half smile for you from Tyler.

~Tyler's 7 week pictures~

2009-06-10T13:09:00.000-04:00

I told them that I wanted to take their picture, so Austin posed for you!!!!

My mom was at our house this past Friday, so we tried to get some good pictures of Tyler, but he really did not want his picture taken, so some of them are not the best.

Birthdays....Hospitals....and Suff!!!!

2009-06-05T15:48:00.000-04:00

Austin is 3 going on 5. Well that is what he thinks. He tried to argue with me that he was going to be 5. I tried to explain to him that he was only going to be 3, but he did not want to be 3 he wanted to be 5. He wants to be 5 because I have told Emilee that she can go to school when she is 5, so he wants to be 5 so he can go to school too.
We went to Chuck-E-Cheese for his B-day, and they had a really good time.
They had a little camera to where they could see themselves dancing on a big screen, and they really liked that.

Our cute little cowgirl and cowboy!!

Even Daddy and Grandpa enjoyed Chuck-e-Cheese.

This is what Tyler did the whole time...sleep!!

This was her favorite thing all night.

And the same for him. They loved it. He kept taking his hat off and yelling "Ye Haw"

Getting ready to open presents.

Well this week has not went as planned. I had wanted to get my closet cleaned out this week and just make sure everything was ready for me to go back to work, but we ended up spending it in the hospital. Tyler is only 6 weeks and he is the first of our children to be in the hospital over night other than birth.

He started coughing a little last Friday and I just figured that he was getting a cold. By Sunday it was a little worse, so Monday morning I called the doctor as soon as they opened to be sure to get in. They said that he had a cold and put him on breathing treatments. By Tuesday morning he could not quit coughing, so I called the doctor and asked them if they wanted me to bring him back to the office or take him to the ER. They ordered a chest x-ray at St. Ritas and then wanted me to go to their office. When the doctor got the results they showed that he had pneumonia in both lungs, so she (doctor) did a direct admit to the hospital. We were there for 2 days. They put him on an IV and did breathing treatments. They did say once we were at the hospital that he did not have pneumonia, but that he had something like bronchitis's. I don't know if I felt any better with that diagnoses though, because they did not send us home. But now we are at home doing breathing treatments 3 times a day hoping that he is better soon. He has been a little trooper through it all though. I left the room when they came in to put his IV in, but Jason said all he did was make a little whimper.Getting ready to come home.

Catching up!!

2009-05-29T21:10:00.000-04:00

Well the Hunsaker household has definitely felt change this last month, but it all has been good. Emilee and Austin has accepted Tyler very well and for the most part everything has been smooth. The only real problem is the sleeping part, but that is to be expected and it is improving. Tyler really is a good baby and I think he might be getting a little spoiled, and some of it is from his big sister. She wants to hold him all the time and when she is not holding him she wants to be touching him. Austin wants to hold him some times too, but has not quite realized that you have to actually hold on to him. But they both tell me all the time how cute he is.
He turned 6 weeks today, and it does not seem possible that 6 weeks have gone by soooo quickly. And to think that I only have one more week at home with him all the time is really depressing. I have only had a few scares in these last 6 weeks, and it has been in the car when out of the blue Austin will say "Mommy, where's Tyler?" That is when my heart sinks and I have to check and make sure he IS sitting behind me and that I have not forgotten him. So far we have not forgotten him and I know that we won't but just that initial feeling is pretty scary. Or when he is laying on the living room floor and Emilee screams "Mommy come here!!!" Only to run in there and find out that he has spit up. It took me a while to recover from that one, but...
Well, I have a lot of pictures and I am going to to try not to overload the blog with all of them so I will sort through and only put some of the best on.
From this.....
...to this.....tohe was finally here. This is the only child that the nurse crabbed the camera, so we have a lot of pictures that we did not get for the other babies, like Daddy cutting the cord.
To say the least everyone thinks he is adorable.
Getting ready to go home!!!And boy was I was ready to head home.All ready for his first car ride.Our sleeping "handsome" baby. Such a big yawn for such a little baby.
Feeding him for the first time.

Being Mommy's big helper!!!!Here he is at 5 weeks and very happy.

And this is 6 weeks and not so happy.

I had to included a few of some cute children and their funny hair.

Our little clown...
...and his sidekick!!!

Finally back in the blogger world.

2009-05-11T15:03:00.000-04:00

I took this picture, because this showed how small he was. He was just a little bundle.This was right before we left the hospital all bundled up and ready to go home.

Tyler's first Sunday at church.

I think this shows how small he was.

I feel like I have been totally out of the loop. I have not been on the computer since I was in the hospital. Emilee came to me a few day after we came home form the hospital and told me she had spilled water. I really did not think much about it besides I gave her a rag and told her to clean it up. Later I walked back by the computer and that is when I saw the water on the computer desk, and realized that we had a problem. Jason picked up the mouse and water ran out soooo....we got a different mouse and the computer still did not work. To say the least our friend Ben came over to look at the computer and said that our hard drive was junk. So he has the computer and we are hopefully going to be able to get it back tomorrow. So I am at my parents and trying to get a few new pictures on here. I feel bad because Maria has not gotten to see any pictures since he was in the hospital. So as soon as I get my computer back I will put some more recent pictures on here.

More pictures to enjoy!!!!

2009-04-18T15:17:00.000-04:00

Introducing.......

2009-04-17T19:01:00.000-04:00

Tyler Bradley 8 pounds even and 20 inches long
He is doing very good and brother and sister love him very much!!!!

Still waiting.....

2009-04-11T13:55:00.001-04:00

....on baby to arrive!!!!
I went to the doctor on Wednesday and they said that everything looks good when they did the ultrasound, so now we are just waiting.
They did say that if the baby has not come by the end of this coming week, that they are going to help it along. So I guess that sometime in the next week we will be posting pictures of a new little Hunsaker.

This is what 38 weeks looks like!!!

Getting ready for Easter!!

2009-04-11T13:25:00.000-04:00

Jason and I were in the kitchen talking the other night and when we walked in the living room this is what we found. If you are a parent of more than one child, then you will agree when I say that this does not happen very often, but when it does it definitely warms your heart.Friday night was color egg night. We didn't do tons of eggs, but it was still fun and the kids had a blast!!!

You can tell by the look on Austins face he was enjoying "throwing" the egg in the colored water. Jason told him to be careful, but I guess Daddy's careful and Austins careful have different meanings!!! We had to clean up quite a bit of colored water off the counter.

This was our finished product, and boy were they proud of their eggs.

This was my project for this morning. I had told my Mom that I would make a dessert for Easter, so when I started I had no clue what it was going to look like I just hoped that it would taste good no matter what it looked like. Besides the not even teeth, it is a little better than I thought it would. I probably will never have the patience to do this again, but.....

They thought the left over icing was great, even if it was pink!!

We hope you all have a good Easter, and not forget what we are really celebrating!!

Busy Busy Busy!!!

2009-03-27T16:11:00.001-04:00

The title pretty well sums up our life lately. Between potty training, getting ready for the new baby and trying to get the house totally ready just in case a baby would come early, we have been busy. I am one that when I leave this house to have this baby I want the house to totally be in order so that when I come back home, the minute I walk in the house I don't feel overwhelmed with every thing that needs done. But believe me when I do not have the house ready that is when this baby will decide to come. Oh well!!
I don't have any new pictures downloaded of the kids, but hopefully I will get them soon. I think I have everything I need done now for the baby so I hopefully will have more time to sit and blog, considering I do not feel like doing a whole lot these days.
I went to the doctor Tuesday and they said that everything was coming along great and that the baby was in position and I am really close to one centimeter, so hopefully this baby will come before too long. I know there is a little girl that is excited for the new baby but is beginning to think that it is never going to get here. She asked us a long time ago when the baby was going to come and we told her around Easter time. So when she saw the first Easter decor come out at our neighbors she got sooooo excited because she thought it was time for the baby. I had a little explaining to do, but I am also beginning to think that this baby is never going to come. Ha!!
Austin really does not seem so understand that Mommy is really going to have a baby, considering that the other day he came to me with his belly poked out and told me to feel his baby, or when he asked my Dad Sunday night when he was going to have a baby, I don't think he has figured it out.
Well hopefully I will get some pictures on here soon and I will try (Maria) to also get a picture of the growing baby.

Better late than never!!!

2009-02-20T11:09:00.000-05:00

I wanted to post something about my Valentine, and I know I am only about a week late, but.....I have a very special Valentine!!! His name is Jason and he is the the best Valentine I could have ever asked for. He is sweet all though the year and not just on Valentines day. He is a wonderful and thoughtful husband, and a wonderful Daddy to our children. He is always trying to make a living for our family even if it means doing odd jobs here and there. He is one of the hardest working men I have ever met. He works all day in the dump truck, and then he has all of Millers trucks to wash which usually takes up one week night and half the day Saturday, and in the summer he has yards to mow. He is not afraid to work and is challenged by it. He always takes time for his family and makes sure that the house is taken care of. He always helps with the kids and now that I am getting close to having our third child, if I get the sweeper out, he takes it away from me and the same thing with the mop. He is not afraid of dish water hands either.
Thank you Jason for loving me and for being a wonderful husband and father.
These are my three Valentines!!!! We only gave cards to each other this year, and I also made him a big breakfast.

And since I have family who do not see me very much I thought it would be nice post a picture of our growing baby!!!!

Emilee is sick today and so we are having a lazy day. Last night she was running a temp. of almost 103 and this morning she is doing a little bit better. She is still running a temp. of about 100 so we are pushing the Tylenol and trying to get her to feel better and hoping Austin does not get it. But they wanted to watch Elmo, so Mommy is trying to get a quick post in while they are being entertained!!!

Correction!!!!

2009-02-05T19:59:00.000-05:00

My Mom informed me that when I had posted that I made my Dad's recipe when making the apple dumplings, that it really was my Grandma Patterson's recipe and my Dad always made them from her recipe. She was an awesome cook and my Dad loves to try to make things and get it so it tastes just like hers did. He has been able to make things that came really close, but I think that it always just tasted better, because Grandma made it. But just in case any of you are wondering, my Dad is an awesome cook, and when you get both him and my Mom in the Kitchen you know that whatever they are making, it is going to be wonderful!!!

A fun outing!!!

2009-02-05T19:25:00.000-05:00

This past weekend we took the kids and Kendall, (a good friend) and went to Dayton. We grabbed a bite to eat and then headed to Gander Mountain. They had a few things that you could sit in and the kids were having a great time "driving" the boat and 4-wheeler. They also had a good time looking at all the animals on the walls and playing with a few of the toys they had, but I think what made the night, well at least for me was when we stopped at the Cold Stone Creamery on the way home. I do not have any pictures of the ice cream, because we got it to go, and I was too busy making sure it went in the kids mouth and not anywhere else, but it was really good.
We had heard that it was getting nasty on the roads around home, because of the blowing and drifting snow, so we did not know what to expect the closer we got to home. They had kept interstate pretty clean, but the country roads were not good at all. When we pulled up in front of our house and started to pull in the driveway, it had drifted so bad that we could not get the van into the garage. That is when Jason and Kendall's pager's went off for a fire, so they went running to the fire department and I was able to get around the drift with their trucks out of the driveway, but I really didn't know just how bad the roads were until later I learned that the country roads were so bad, that they had given instructions that if they had any runs in the middle of the night, that they were not to leave until Jason or another guy, who also has a snow plow were there to plow the road ahead of them. I guess on the fire earlier that one of the firetrucks had a hard time getting down some of the roads, which obviously is not good when you are trying to hurry and be extra careful at the same time.
But all in all we had a good time in Dayton and here the kids and Daddy are sitting in one of the boats,and probably a little bit of dreaming was going on too.

Little monsters at work!!!

2009-01-30T16:49:00.000-05:00

I walked in the living room and this is what I found!!!!

I thought I would let you know that I do bake sometimes. No, I actually baked these for the bake sale at the school this weekend, Apple Dumplings. (my Dad's recipe)
And this is what 28 weeks looks like.

A little of our Christmas!!

2009-01-09T16:54:00.000-05:00

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas season. They are in no order, but this is going to be a quick post so I don't have time to put them in order.
We had a really nice Christmas, it was very very busy, but nice. Our New Years was pretty good, besides I was the sick one. I had a really bad cold and nothing that I took made me feel better, so I do not have any pictures from our New Years get together, because I was just glad to sit in the chair and do nothing.
I am sorry this post is so late, but after my cold and Emilee and Jason getting the flu, the first part of this New Year has not been the greatest. I hope to post more of our Christmas soon.

Trying to get them to stand still and smile at the same time was a chore.

I had some cupcakes with red icing and to say the least the kids enjoyed theirs!!!

Our little man.

Emilee enjoying one of her presents!!

Being a little monster as normal.

Our little Princess!!!

Austin digging things out of the closet and doing what he does best, making a mess.

Emilee was the chef, she made us cinnamon rolls!!!

I had decided to be brave and make this little ginger bread house. The kids really enjoyed putting on all the candy, and it really did not turn out as bad as I thought it would.

Help!!!

2008-12-11T17:13:00.000-05:00

I am trying to change the background to my blog and every time I do I loose all my widgets and my list of friends links. Does anyone know how I can change the background without loosing all of my "stuff" I would appreciate it!!!!!

Baby Pictures!!!

2008-12-10T18:33:00.001-05:00

I turned the first two, because I think they are easier to see this way. This one is a close up on the baby's face!!! Emilee thinks it looks like her. I think this one is really cute, because it has its arm going up to its chin.

They said everything looked good and the baby looked healthy. They just had a hard time getting some good pictures of the baby's organs and measurements, because it would not lay still. It was getting quite funny and once I started laughing it was even harder. The heartbeat was really good and strong, and they said that so far the baby is a little bigger than normal. I told the doctor that I had hoped for a smaller baby, but.............

So far everything has been going pretty good with this pregnancy, so I have a lot to be thankful for.

Out with the old, in with the new!!

2008-12-05T16:41:00.001-05:00

Well that is with the decorations in our living room. I was sooooo ready to take down the fall things and put up the Christmas stuff. I had put up the fall things the 1st of September, so I was really tired of looking at pumpkins and leaves. I put the Christmas things up before December was even here, and I think that it is a first. I always wait until December, but this year I knew if I didn't do it before Dec. I would not have the time to put it all up, because this month is very full of parties and shopping and cleaning the church and shopping and then trying to keep up with our house. We have some kind of a party every weekend until Christmas.
I took some pictures of a few of decorations I have up in the living room. This year the kids were soooooo excited to get all the Christmas things out and get the living room looking nice. Emilee told me after everything was out and put in its proper spot, "Mommy the living room looks so pretty!!!" She always knows how to make her mommy's efforts worth while.

Acting silly as usual!!!

What's Christmas without baby Jesus. And because of this little arrangement, every time Emilee see's a picture of a baby in a cradle, no matter where it is she wants to know if it is baby Jesus.

This looks so pretty at night, because I have lights under the snow.

These are a few pictures for our Thanksgiving. I had another one that showed everyone checking out the turkey, but I don't know what happened to it. We had a really nice time at Jason Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker's house. It was more of a relaxing time and that was really nice. His Grandma had 7 pies baked, plus the traditional dinner that most people have on Thanksgiving, so we definitely had a feast!!!

Putting on some of Emilee's beads out of her purse and loving it.

Checking to see if the turkey tasted good, before everyone else.........

Well except for Sherry!!!!! (Jason's Aunt)

Latest Happenings!!

2008-11-07T14:05:00.000-05:00

It has been forever since my last post and so I hope this does not end up being forever long. But it has been really crazy around here lately!!! I only have a few pictures to post since everywhere I go I never remember to grab my camera, but hopefully that will change sometime in the near future, because I bought a bigger purse!!!! Now I can carry more of the things I need, like a camera!!!
We had our annual church fall retreat and as usual it was a lot of fun. My parents did a wonderful job of getting things coordinated and everything turned out really nice. My Mom had gotten the idea to have a birthday party for everyone. She had the tables decorated for each month of the year and you had to sit at the table that was decorated for the month you were born in. She had Cathy Bailey make the B-day cake and she had party favors, and if you wanted you could participate in a cheap gift exchange. I think everyone had fun, and here is a picture of the cake. Emilee playing with the gift she received.

I think Austin is trying to get a piece of the cake.

The past 2 years I have let the kids dress up and then go to the few houses around us. It usually ends up being 3 or 4 houses. They do not get tons of candy, and that is the way I like it. This year Emilee was a cute little frog.

And here is my little pumpkin. He actually left the hat alone for the most part. They had a lot of fun as you can tell!!!

Lately Emilee has become even more of a little Mommy. I know that I am going to have tons of fun when this baby comes, but I took them to get their Flu shots, and as we were standing in the line Emilee would tell Austin if he was going to far out in the hallway and when he should not do this and that. I happened to here her say "Come here you little Austin" I looked down and she had him in her arm kissing his head and telling him that she loved him. I was loving it, they were actually getting along good for a few seconds. I am finding out all too quickly what my poor Mom went through. She would ask us to please quit arguing, and I find myself saying the same thing all the time.

Austin is my little clown. My mom keeps telling me that he is going to be a clown and I could not agree more. Everything he does and says usually confirms our thoughts. He definitely keeps life interesting!!! Even though there is never a dull moment aound this home, I could not be happier with the family that God has blessed us with.

Hunting,messes and horses!!!

2008-10-09T18:31:00.000-04:00

Its official, he is ready for hunting season. He saved every penny of his birthday money and he bought the waders he needed for hunting season. He had told me that he really needed these, and then he told me that I had one of two options. He would either buy the waders or a dog. He needed one of the 2 for duck/goose hunting, because once he shot the duck/goose he or the dog would have to go and get it. Those of you who know me already know which one I chose. I do not like animals very well, and we do not need a dog, so I was more than happy with his purchase. Those of you who are mothers probably have seen this many of times. I was getting them ready for their nap and they were hungry, so I had a piece of doughnut in a baggy on the counter and that is what Austin spotted, so I agreed that they could eat one. I went to the living room for a few minutes and when I returned this is what I found all over the counter, the bar stools and the floor. A mess!!!! I think they were still hungry when they went to bed from the looks of this. This picture has a funny little story behind it. We had pork chops and rice for dinner tonight, and like always he made a mess. When he stood up in the high chair he stepped on the rice and as you can see he was picking it off his feet and eating it. I did catch him right in the middle. He is our little clown!!!

This is my beautiful little cowgirl. She loves horses, and is always riding her horse around the house and having races. I would tell you the horses name, but I think it has a different name about every 2 hours!!

Welcome Mom!!!!

2008-09-29T20:39:00.000-04:00

I am happy to say that my Mom has joined the blogging world. I was at her home tonight and I was helping her get everything set up. She is doing a really good job!! She is the best Mom ever!!!

I also have added another friend from church, Marea Pouzar.

Announcing.....

2008-09-23T19:00:00.000-04:00

The 3rd little Hunsaker is on the way!!! We are very excited, especially Emilee! She keeps telling me that she can't wait to hold her, and I keep telling her that we don't know if it is going to be a girl or not, but she doesn't care. I am almost ten weeks and the due date is April 24th.

Catching up!!!

2008-09-23T16:59:00.001-04:00

I have a lot of catching up to do and it all started the weekend of the 14th. We went to Cincinnati for our anniversary. I had reserved dinner for us on the Bell on Cincinnati and I would not tell Jason where we were going, so he was surprised. We had a really good meal with all you can eat prime rib, Jason was loving it!!! And then it took us down the river for a nice quiet little cruise. It was beautiful once the sun went down and all the lights of Cincy came on. We also stayed at a really nice hotel. I did not know what to expect since I just picked one that I thought was close to where the boat was docked and we were really happy with it.
We came home on Saturday night and on Sunday about 3:30p.m. our electricity went out. We figured it would be out for a few hours and then life would get back to normal. Boy were we ever wrong. Since every time that the weather gets really bad Jason usually has fire calls at the fire station, so the kids and I were at home in the dark alone, so I decided to have company in the dark. We had my parents, his Mom and brother and Harry Jones over and fixed hamburgers and mac and cheese on the grill. We really did have a good time in the dark. We then went to his Mom's to get a shower because she had a generator, and came home knowing that the power would be on when we got up, wrong!!!!!!!!!!! Our power did not come back on until sometime around 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday night. We were ever so thankful for electricity. That was the longest 2 1/2 days that we have been through in a long time, and it took me until Saturday to get everything back to normal. So we have decided that we really do not want to be pioneers anytime soon.
I am posting a few pictures from the last few weeks, Enjoy!!
They love to help Mommy in the kitchen, so here is the beginning of.........
........ pumpkin pie. He did manage to spill a little, but he had fun.

She did a very good job, hopefully she will be my cook someday!!!

Jason's B-day was the 11th, so I decorated the table and we had pork chops, baked potatoes, green beans and brownie, ice cream with hot fudge for dessert.
Daddy opening what the kids gave him.

Here is some pictures of the Hotel we stayed in.

The beautiful two room suite. I wish we could have stayed longer, well all except our check book was saying NO WAY!!!
This was the view from out hotel window. It was beautiful!!!
This was on the Bell of Cincinnati. Everything was really good.

To say the least the background was beautiful, but my camera is very cheap and it does not take good pictures at night. We had another couple ask us to take their picture and their camera was nice and the background turned out very beautiful, so I was disappointed with our picture.

Weekend Happenings

2008-09-02T17:46:00.001-04:00

We did have a fun weekend, but it went way too fast. We went to my parents with some friends Sunday night and had a lot of good food and fun. Then on Monday we decided we did not want to have a big cookout and have a big mess and I didn't want to have to deal with fixing the food all day and then cleaning up all night, so we decided to have pizza and have our parents over. So that is what we did and it was alot of fun too. Relaxing with Daddy on Monday morning!!!
Helping Mommy clean!!!!
This one was not doing a lot of helping, considering that the front of the sweeper never hit the floor, but he had fun.

These were taken Sunday morning after church. They looked so cute and I wanted some pictures, but I had pulled enough teeth with these 2 pictures, and I decided it wasn't worth it.

A whole lot of something!!

2008-08-25T19:21:00.001-04:00

It has been a long time since I last posted, and don't have a lot of pictures to share because every time we go somewhere I mean to take the camera, but.........it is always at home when I need it.

We took Maria to the airport last Tuesday. We went to Columbus on Monday night and spent the night at Grandpa and Grandma Hunsakers. We had a really good time and I did remember my camera. I got it out to take a few pictures and realized that I had forgot to grab the memory card off the computer desk, soooo......

We had a good time Monday night with family then little sleep and off to the airport to watch her leave us for Guatemala. Tears were flowing, but I know that she is doing what God wants her to do with her life, and no matter what we want, she will only be happy in the center of God's will, and I am happy for her. I have added a link to her blog, so feel free to check it out.

On Saturday night we headed out for a family night starting at the Olive Garden ( because I had a coupon) then the mall and then we were going to meet my parents, Uncle Roger and his wife for a game of Putt Putt, well to make a long story shorter, we did not make it in time for the game, but we were going to let the kids play on some of the blow up activities they have. We were waiting on a train, Austin was wound up tight and playing as normal and reached over toward Emilee and somewhere along the line unfastened his car seat. Austin and the car sear hit the floor of the van upside down. I got out to get him and fix his car seat, Jason had already got him out and was checking him over, and we realized that he didn't just hit the floor, but the little metal hook that comes out of the floor that attaches the console to the floor. He had a BIG egg on his forehead and a nasty bruise immediately. To say the least our family night was ruined, and we have come to the realization that if one of our children is going to get hurt, it is going to be Austin. I am beginning to wonder if anything should really surprise me. He is better, he still has a nasty looking bruise, but is going to be fine.

I thought I would post a few pictures of my little angels, while they were being angels!!! Thank you Maria for Emilee's jumper, it looks really nice!!

Emilee's Birthday!!!

2008-08-11T21:17:00.000-04:00

This picture is of Emilee from her 3rd B-day!!! It's hard to believe that she looks so much older this Birthday. My time flies.
This is her 4th Birthday and we had her party on Sunday with just our parents!! She got quite a few clothes and some toys. She picked out this Princess cake. She couldn't wait to eat some too!!!She is opening her dress from Rachel.....and....making sure it fits!!!We took the kids to the zoo, and they had a lot of fun. Their favorite part was the horses and getting to ride them all by themselves!!!!
Daddy did walk beside Austin just to make sure he wouldn't fall off.

They got to pet the goats and liked it, until one jumped on Emilee and then the tears started flowing.

Getting a drink out of the lion's mouth.

As you can tell feeding the ducks and fish was our next favorite part. They had a lot of fun watching all the fish fight over the food.

We rode the train and went through a tunnel and that was really neat too!!! (BTW sunglasses do nothing for the hair)

Later we ate as she calls it "chips and cheese" Mexican. She was sung to and had the hat put on her head, and then she was nice and shared with her brother!!!

Garage Sales and Haircuts

2008-08-03T18:08:00.000-04:00

This is one of my goodies that I bought at a garage sale. I love it!!! It has a candle in it and it looks even better with it burning.

Here is my little man with his new haircut. Jason always has to tell Melissa (the lady that cuts their hair) what he wants, so he asked me before they left how I wanted it. I said that I didn't care, but that I still wanted to be able to comb the top, well....I can barely even get it combed over. Jason said that he saw it getting shorter and shorter, but that he thought it looked cute. I think he looks cute too, even though I probably would have left it a tad longer.

Sorry, but once again he would not look!
Because of getting the lamp post, I had to do some rearranging, so Emilee's room did some changing too. She really likes it, so that is all that matters.

They have to play at the counter while Mommy fixes meals!!!

Emilee loves to help me in the kitchen, so here she is making brownies.....
and Austin is just watching and getting in sisters way, and loving it!!!

A fun weekend!!!

2008-07-20T21:56:00.000-04:00

Saturday night we went with Jason's Mom, brother Zachary, and my parents and sisters to Maries candies and then we met Grandpa and Grandma Hunsaker at the Der Dutchman for dinner. We had a lot of fun and Definitely enjoyed the good food. These are some pictures of us getting ready to leave the house and enjoying the food. I thought that the kids looked so cute so I tried to get some cute pictures of them, but Austin did not want his picture taken so....

This hat looked so adorable on him, but he did not want to wear it. He normally loves hats, but I think because Mommy wanted him to wear it he did not want anything to do with it!!!!
Zachary finished his baseball Thurs. night. The team finished second place!!!!

The kids and Michelle enjoyed the snack stand at the park!!

Lost Camera......Found!!!!

2008-07-11T14:35:00.000-04:00

It seems like it has been forever since I posted, well I guess it has been a month. Anyways I have wanted to update my blog, but I lost my camera, we had it for the 4th and we took it with us to see the fireworks and lost it sometime there. But now I have a lot of pictures to share. These are from some good times we have had lately.They enjoyed riding the horse as Texas Roadhouse, I put them both on at the same time so I could save a few quarters!!!

She was enjoying the ranch.

I'm not real sure what he wanted that time.
To say the least he does not like to get his picture taken. When I tell him to look and smile, this is usually what happens.

They enjoyed this little table in the cabin that we stayed in at camp. It was wonderful to walk into the cabin and see this. They had a lot of fun sitting and eating, coloring and just playing with their toys.

They love their new towels.

She helped me break the ends off the green beans and then snap them in half, well she said they were too hard so I let her use her (butter) knife for the first time. She was so proud of herself, and she knew that daddy would be very happy. And yes, we did have Ham, potatoes and green beans for supper.

This was the feast that we had on the 4th. We tried to make everything red, white and blue, but the mac. salad and cheese was kind of hard, I really did not want to put food coloring in them too!!!!

The Love of my life, my husband and my 2 precious children!!!

They really enjoyed the sparklers this year!!

My beautiful little girl!!!
My handsome little man!!!

The promised pictures!!

2008-06-12T14:20:00.000-04:00

This was Austin's B-Day cake. Both of my kids love Elmo, so I decided this cake would be really nice for Austin (plus they got the toys off the top)

This was both Grandma's trying to get Austin to look at the camera and not to touch the cake!!!

As you can tell they were not very sucessful!!!!So they all just decided to pose.
To say the least he enjoyed his cake.......

and so did everyone else.
Maria is always helping me in the Kitchen.

Emilee was ready to open Austin's Birthday presents.......

he was not ready for anything but a nap.

Finally we were able to get him to open his presents. This was the Firefighter Elmo sprinkler that Rachel got them.Ring around the rosie...........It must have been raining in the living room.

Quick Update!!

2008-06-05T21:13:00.000-04:00

I have a lot of pictures and things to share, I will hopefully get the pics on real soon. This is just a quick little update to let you know that I have not forgotten my blog. We have had a lot of things going on. We had a little immediate family b-day party for Austin on Sunday afternoon, and we had a really good time. I bought both them both a kite, and they enjoyed flying them. On Friday night we went to Jason's cousin, Brittany Smith's Gradation which was very nice, and then we went to Lydia Smith's baby shower on Saturday which also was very nice. So we did not get much relaxation time this past weekend, but we had a lot of fun. I promise to update again soon, because I need to get going because I have a few things to do before I go to bed.

A Busy Week...

2008-05-20T18:44:00.000-04:00

in the life of the Hunsakers. We have just recovered from a busy weekend and now are headed into a very busy week. This past weekend we went to Maria's Graduation. Everything was very nice. She looked very pretty in her cap and gown. After the Graduation we went to Germantown Pizza. It was very good. I had never been there before and I now can say that I would go back any day for their cheese bread. I would love to share pictures, but that was one of the things I did forget, a camera. I have never been very good at carrying a camera around. My sisters and Maria are very good at that.

I neglected to post around Mother's day, but I had a really nice Mother's day. Jason bought me roses and a card. I have a wonderful husband!!! He also got a card for the kids to give to Mommy. He let Emilee give the roses to me and as she was giving the roses to me she told me Happy Birthday!!! But I have a wonderful Mother and Mother-in-law, and we had a good time around the Sunday dinner table. We hope that all of you Mothers had a good Mother's day!!

Jason planted out garden last week which is at his parents, and at dinner that night Emilee asked "Are we eating the food from Grandma's mud?" To say the least she is looking forward to eating the food from the garden.

Last night we had our Mother Daughter Banquet. We had a really good time and as always the food was really good. I think we have some of the best cooks at our church. Emilee was all excited that she was going to get to go with Mommy to a "party" but when we dropped Austin off at Grandma Hunsaker's house she didn't want to party with Mommy any more, and Austin cried that Mommy was leaving. I think that I should have taken him instead, but Grandma said that he had a good time eating cereal!!!! She fixed a really nice dinner, and all he wanted was cereal.

Hopefully my next post I will have some new pics, but my camera is having some issues, so I am not sure what I am going to do with it. I am thinking a new one would be nice!!!!!!!

Trying to catch up!!!!

2008-05-08T21:19:00.000-04:00

God's beautiful Creation

The kids and I had been outside playing, when it started to rain Tues. night, so we started looking for a rainbow, because the sun was still shining. We did find this behind our house, and when I actually went around to the back of the house it went all the way across the sky. The longer we looked at it the more beautiful it became. The next time we looked it was a double rainbow. It was beautiful!!!! If you look real close above the rainbow you can see the 2nd one!!

Sunday night before church the kids had been playing in Emilee's room, and to say the least it was a mess. So I told Emilee to go to her room and clean it up. It was not very long and she called for us to come see her room. She had cleaned the whole room up and had even made her bed. (if you look real close you can see the BIG bump in the middle of the bed) The only thing was that you could not open her closet because she had put it all in there!!!!
Austin had tried my purse on for size and when I ran for the camera he then did not want his picture taken.

The last three pictures are kind of self explanatory. Austin fell and has a scrape on both knees and on his nose. While we were looking at him Emilee jumped down the steps and fell and now she has a scrape on her knee. Thank the Lord that Jane was with me at that time, so she helped me get them into the car. Once I got home I had one crying child on each end of the couch.

Playing at Grandma Spencer's house!!!
This is the meal I fixed and then took it to the park. Yes, you read right, the park. In the glass dishes and all.

No, I am not crazy, but we did have a good time.

Mary and I took the kids to see Elmo!!!! We had a really good time, and the kids really enjoyed it. After it was over all Austin would say was "Elmo done?" That is all I heard on the way home!!!

This is the only picture I got that they all were even looking in the direction of the camera!!!

Loving the Weather!!!

2008-04-22T20:55:00.000-04:00

Tonight we headed outdoors to enjoy the beautiful weather again (we were out last night) and I had just sit down with my magazines when I heard Austin starting to really cry. I looked up just in time to see him sprawled out flat on the sidewalk. He had fallen down the front steps. So I went to help. I picked him up turned around just in time to see Emilee flat on the sidewalk. So now I have 2 crying children (very loudly) the neighbors were all out and looking by this time. Emilee would not walk so I picked her up to go inside quickly and looked at Austin who had stopped crying and told him to come, but he stopped and (acted like his sister) held his knee that was not hurt. He couldn't walk either!!!! To say the least we did make inside and Austin cried for about 2 minutes and Emilee I think would still be crying if I had not threatened to put her to bed. But all we have is little scrapes. So I guess if the weather permits we will be back outside for a while before church tomorrow night, and hopefully without anyone falling.

We really enjoyed IHC and enjoyed seeing a lot of friends that we hadn't seen for a while. I think the services were really good and I enjoyed the mass choir as always. We did even make it to the youth service on Wed. and I thought everyone did a really good job. I am already looking forward to next year!!

To Brighten your day...

2008-04-09T16:08:00.000-04:00

With the kids growing up too fast sometimes you miss the cute little things they say, but this one I didn't. Jason and the kids decided to bring Mommy lunch at work Monday, and as we were eating Jason looked down at my drink and said "I told them I wanted the med size, but that looks a lot bigger than a med." Emilee sitting in the back seat not knowing that she was even listening said, "Well I guess you got yourself a deal!!!"

Austin has been saying more and more things lately, which I know is normal, but it seems like he started talking all at once. He is now saying 2 to 3 words together real fast and you can actually understand them. It does not matter the situation he always says "Thank you Mom, or Dad" or "Why Mom or Dad" Everything now ends in Dad, Mom or Em!!! It is way too cute!!

I have some new pictures to post and I will post them as soon as I get a chance!!!

What a Week!!!

2008-03-30T21:58:00.000-04:00

I love these pictures and I realized after I had put them on the blog that I had forgot to turn them, but I guess you can still see them as long as you turn sideways.

Rachel had bought these for them for Easter and they have had a lot of fun with them!!

Well this week has been one I would like to forget at least have of.....last Friday I went to the Doctor, because I had been sooooo tired and had headaches every day. He said that me sinuses were a mess, so he gave me a shot and some antibiotic's. On Wed I was having some more difficulties, so I went back to the doctor and he stopped the first medicine, and put me on a stronger med. and said that the infection had moved into my chest, sooooo I started the 2nd med. Thurs morning I had more difficulties and I found out after a long process that I was allergic to the 2nd med. So we started a new med on Fri. and I think it is finally doing the job after a week. So to say the least I think I have spent the majority or the week in bed. I am hoping for a much better week now. I hope you all are doing ok. I think because of the weather that alot of people have colds, so I hope the weather gives us a break before too long and we can see Spring!!!!!!! Well I must get two little children ready for bed. Until next time....

Our Easter

2008-03-23T21:52:00.001-04:00

At my Grandma Spencer's for Easter.
Emilee and Austin with couple friends from church, Kaitlyn and Karis!
My little Easter Angels!!

The best breakfast in the world, chocolate bunnies!! I honestly did not want them to eat them this morning, but I had walked into the kitchen turned around and they both had them open and eating them. I guess they can one day out of the year!!
Austin Easter egg hunting!!!
Emilee finding the last of the eggs.

He wasn't real sure about the whole Easter basket thing until he saw what was in it.

Emilee getting all her candy, and as you can see by the look on her face she like the candy!!

This is a picture of their Easter baskets, before I would let them touch them!!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christ filled Easter!!!

My Weekend

2008-03-18T16:16:00.000-04:00

I told Jason last night that it didn't even seem like we had a weekend, because I never stopped. Friday night we went to the Buckland Fire Dept. for their fish dinner. Since Jason is a firefighter and knows alot of the area firefighters he wanted to support them. So we had to stand in a long line before we got our fish, got up the table and they ran out so we had to stand a little longer, but it actually turned out ok. After we ate Jason washed trucks at Millers and I cleaned the offices with 2 children. I usually take a DVD, but this time I forgot. It didn't go as bad as expected. We got home late, and then got up earlier than I would have liked to get ready to go to Daniel Barnt's wedding. Austin must not have wanted to go, because he did not make my morning easy, and we ended up walking into the church as the bride was going down the isle.

We had a lady at the fire department who was turning 40 so we attended her party after the wedding, which made for another late night. Sundays are always busy, and then it was back to another work week, when the alarm goes off at 5:55a.m. so I can hit the snooze a time or three.

When I got home the afternoon my first look at Austin I knew he didn't feel good, so now I had a fussy little one. I just hope he does not end up at the doctor with bronchitis, which is what usually happens. I hope I have a chance to do some laundry in the near future, or life could get really interesting. I hope you all have a wonderful week.

2008-02-26T16:49:00.000-05:00

I thought about labeling this picture "The Happy Hatters" because they love to wear hats, especially daddy's hats which he is not the happiest with. You will have to ignore the date on the picture, I really need to fix me camera.

Well I am still hoping that life will slow down one day. But as a Mother of two very busy children it doesn't look hopeful. It seem like all I get done is cleaning up one mess after another.

Jason is job hunting again. After being laid off for a few months and being Mr. Mom every day, I think he is ready for a more relaxing job. Not really, he says he hates the thought of having to leave them and go back to work, but the checkbook is telling us that him working is the only option at this point.

Emilee now hates to go to bed. At first, it was the Under (thunder) that she was scared of, then is was the teeth on her ceiling (because of the lights shining through her blinds onto the ceiling) and now, get this she is scared of the little puppy that is going to come in her room after she goes to bed. We don't have a puppy and I thought she liked puppies???

Austin, well he is all boy. Someone told me when I told them that we were thinking of naming our child Austin, "Every boy I know that is named Austin is very hi per." I think they were absoutly right. He is always into something he knows he is not allowed to be in and fighting with Emilee. If Emilee yells MOMMY I know that it is not going to be good. You ask him if he wants a spanking and his answer is "Yes" I think he is immune to them.

Well I must be going, Jason said it was time to eat. Have a great week!!

Valentines Day!!!

2008-02-15T20:29:00.001-05:00

These are pictures of my finished product with the cinnamin rolls that I made for Jason for Valentines Day and what Jason had delivered to me at work. It was so sweet of him.

2008-02-15T20:19:00.000-05:00

I had decided to make Cinnamon Rolls after getting on Jana Burleys blog. They looked really good so I decided to make them for Valentines Day. So here is a picture of Emilee (helping) me, and Austin I was trying to keep out the flour. The counter tells it all!!!

2008-02-15T20:14:00.000-05:00

I had got them ready to go meet my parents and they looked to cute, so I took their picture and to say the least Emilee enjoyed this a lot more that Austin did. She wants to cross her legs like Mommy does.

Back after a month....

2008-02-15T19:59:00.000-05:00

We had bought these care bear marshmellows for Christmas and it took us a long time to get up the courage to give them these to make a mess with but they enjoyed them!!!

Back to blogging...

2008-01-15T14:49:00.000-05:00

These are a few pictures I thought were cute when they were playing with some of their Christmas gifts. They have had a lot of fun playing with the different toys they received. The hardest part is sharing. They like what the other one received, but I have to say we knew that was going to happen so we bought gifts that they both would like.

We have not had anything real exciting happen around here thankfully. I am thankful for the nights when I can crawl in bed and Austin has not hurt himself. I think he has went a few days without a bruise. Austin is so used to having the attention because of being hurt that last night Emilee fell of the bar stool and I thought at first that she had really hurt herself, so I sat her up on the counter and was checking out her knee, when Austin wanted out of his highchair, so Jason got him out and as soon as he let go of him, he laid down on the floor and started a fake cry, because he wanted some attention also. That was pretty cute. But to say the least Emilee just has a little bruise on her knee, and she is fine.

We have little cards that help children learn their colors, shapes and counting, and she is doing very well with every card, and we are really proud of her. She is helping with little jobs around the house and has even rinsed the dishes. It is so hard for me to believe that she is getting so big. Well I have laundry that is calling my name and I have neglected it for a while, so I had better get it done.

Trying to get them both to look at the camera was impossible

Right before I took him to get his cast off. If he knew what was just about happen I don't think he would have been as pleasant

We have made it through Christmas very wore out, but we have had a lot of fun with family and friends and have made a lot of memories. Emilee and Austin recieved a lot of toys and clothes and they have had fun with all the new toys. We went to Grandma Jackies first on Christmas Eve and just finished tonight with my Uncle Roger and his family. So I think we are going to be glad to just sit back for a while.
Austin got his cast off this past Friday and he still limps around, so I am not sure if it still hurts or is not used to having the cast off yet and is still walking like it is on. So if we can help it we hope he will not get hurt ever again. In the first 18months of his life he has had more things happen to hime than I have in my 25 years.
Well we hope all of you had a nice Christ filled Christmas.

Latest news!!!

We have had a lot of activity and alot of days that I would like to redo. Austin Broke his leg a week ago. When I took him to the doctor they said it looked old, well we knew it wasn't because everyone at church knew when it happened last Sunday, so what we are thinking is that he and Emilee was playing and wrestling like they always do and somehow he hurt his leg and then when I put him down, his leg was just the wrong way and it finished the break. He is getting along with it nicely,and probably is doing better than I would. I would have wanted it off a long time ago, and he just acts, most of the time like it is not even there.
And for the latest news I was in an accident last Thurs. I had gotten the kids pictures taken at Wendy's house (a lady that goes to our church) and was on our way home when I pulled out in front of a SUV. The Lord was watching out for us because, she thankfully had seen me starting to pull out and tried to avoid me and she only hit the front of our SUV instead of Emilee's door. I still want to cry every time I look at Emilee and realize that things could be so different. I thank the Lord that he was protecting us. So, I will be loosing our vehicle tomorrow for a while until it gets fixed.
At the time of the accident I was asking the Lord why. I won't go into a lot of details, but I definitely can say the through all of this my faith has increased. He is a wonderful God, and I know that he cares about the little details in our lives.
If I can figure all the details out with my phone, I will post pictures of Austins leg and our vehicle later.

We're still alive!!

Well I guess it has been longer than I thought since I posted last. We have been very very busy, and the days keep getting shorter. Austin has been sick for a month now. He still has his cough and today during church he was sneezing alot again, so it is probably going to be back to the doctor with him. We had to take him to the Emergency Room about a month age and they said he had the Croup. Emilee is getting to big. It seems like overnight she is saying everything like a 10 year old. She has always talked big for her age, but it seems like she grew up way to quickly. Jason has not been working because of the rain and there basically is no work right now. So this has put a strain on everything especially since Christmas is just around the corner. But he has been staying home with the kids while I work, and they all are loving it and especially the Marconi and cheese and hot dogs just about every day. That is all there is to eat if it was up to Emilee. But daddy does make it really good. Well Jason just about has lunch ready so I need to go help. I hope this post finds everyone doing fine.

We are back from our wonderful vacation and trying to get everything back to normal. We had a very good time. We went to the Dixie Stampede and Country Tonight. Emilee really liked them both and Austin liked the food at the Dixie Stampede. He almost ate a bone from the chicken, but other than that I think he ate what I put in front of him. Well I will post pictures as soon as I can.

I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything, but it really has not been as long as you think. I did try to post late last week and I was almost finished with me post and Emilee was playing and turned the whole computer off and my whole post was gone, but other than that things around the Hunsaker's household has been pretty quiet lately, well besides the kids screams. We have been looking for a van and to say the least things have not been going very good. We have looked and looked and looked and still really have not found anything that was either in our price range or it was in our price range but had TONS of miles. So I guess we will be going on vacation with a gas hog. We will be leaving Monday for Pigeon Forge. We are hoping to have a good time, even though the trip there and back could get a little interesting. I do have some new pictures and when I get a little more time I will post them.

Austin's First Haircut

2007-09-10T16:25:00.000-04:00

We finally cut his hair with all the curls, but I do not believe that they will be gone forever, because now that his hair has gotten a little longer it will not lay nice anymore and the back is curling again.
Emilee's hair is still just as curly as ever, and on rainy days it is ever more curly. She is a little Mommy to Austin. If I correct him she comes running to see what he did wrong, and the same thing if he gets hurt. I think every since he burnt his hands she has become even more protective over him. Well, please be patient with me I am finally learning how to get pictures on the blog so hopefully I will get some more of our everyday routine on here.

Hunsaker Happenings

2007-09-06T20:14:00.000-04:00

I am new at this so I am going be trial and error, but hopefully there will not be a lot of errors. I have wanted to set up a blog for a long time and am just getting around to it. I probably will not have a lot of problems with the writing part,but the pictures well that is a different story. The only thing new in our neck of the woods is that we are putting a new old deck on our house. I know that does not make a lot of sence but our neighbor was taking it off their house and gave it to us so we are putting it on our house. So I have been power washing it and trying to get it ready to stain or paint. Austin and Emilee are having screaming matches all the time these days and Austin gets into everything. So I have been pretty busy. Well I am going to sign off. Have a great day.
