Parker's First Steps

Last night was very exciting. Parker took his first steps! We got him on video walking between Erika and I a few times, but later in the evening he even tried to walk by himself from the coffee table to his toys. He made it a good 4 or 5 steps before going down.

Happy Birthday Parker!

I know everyone always says this, but it really doesn't seem like a year ago that Parker was born. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I miss little baby Parker, but I couldn't be more excited about the future. As Parker turns one today, I know we're in for more exciting changes over the next few months. He's getting very close to taking his first steps, and his little personality continues to grow every day. Erika and I couldn't be happier parents.

The slideshow above is from Parker's Birthday party on Sunday, the 7th. It was a beautiful day, and we're very thankful to all of our friends and family that came out to celebrate with Parker. Erika's homemade dinosaur cake was a hit, and P-Man made quite a mess with his chocolate cake. Afterwards we ended up having an impromptu pool party that was our first official pool gathering. It was a blast!

Parker's very lucky to have so many great cousins, aunts & uncles, grandparents, and friends. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did at the birthday party, and I can't wait until next year!

P.S. A few samples from the photo session Saturday are up on our photographer's blog.

Emery's 2nd Birthday

Last Sunday, May 31st we celebrated my niece, Emery's 2nd birthday. She has turned into such a young lady. She has even taken the title of "Sunshine" from Aunt Erika and it takes a lot to do that :) It was lots of fun and I think Isaac and Preston enjoyed her presents more than she did! She's going to have to get a lot tougher these next few years with 2 brothers and 2 boy cousins....poor Emery!


Here's the Birthday girl!



This is Luke & Parker, can you believe they are only 4 1/2 months apart? We have some chunky boys in the family!

Memorial Day Weekend

The Hunt family was very busy for Memorial Day weekend. Parker took his first swim in our new pool. As you can tell by the pictures he LOVED it! It was a little cold for me but that did not seem to bother him. On Sunday evening we attended a BBQ hosted by Chad & Amanda Brown. Parker was the life of the party! Finally on Monday we did a little yard work and then we were off to the Royal's game. It was a beautiful day, the rain held off and it was very cool. Thank goodness, because I was a little worried about how Parker was going to act at the game. He did very well, but his new little friend Kellen helped keep him entertain.

I just love this picture of us! It's one of my favorites so far!

Swimming

Here's a quick video of Parker swimming in the pool at our new house for the first time on May 30th. He loved the water right away even though it was still pretty chilly. Should be a fun summer!
