"This is not a laughing matter"

"This is not a laughing matter" is a famous family quote. It dates back 20 years ago when a babysitter took care of me and my two younger sisters. She put all 3 of us in the tub together and SOMEBODY "dropped the kids off at the pool". Of course, Rylie and I knew who it was but the 2 yr old would not own up to it. The babysitter demanded to know who "did it". Rylie and I could only laugh while Shelley denied having any part in the floating evidence. For some reason this babysitter got angrier and angrier (probably because she was 17 and had plans to talk to her boyfriend after she put us to bed and cleaning up poop was not only not her idea of a Friday night, but was going to cause her to miss an episode of TGIF and delay her opportunity to talk to her parachute pants boyfriend) Anyways, after her demands of a confession were not met, she yelled to me and Rylie, "THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!". Of course this only made us laugh more. Even a 4 and 7 year old knew a comment like this was ridiculous!

Tonight this incident came back to haunt me, tenfold. Adler and I were having a blast playing with his new basketball hoop (thanks KT and Adam!) when I realized the object floating behind Adler was not a basketball. To Adler's screaming disappointment, I quickly pulled him out of the tub. I laid him down in the living room to put on his diaper. Remembering I needed some Desitin, I had to get up again - giving Adler an opportunity to escape naked into the kitchen. I was digging through a kitchen drawer for the ointment when I heard what sounded like fireworks coming from Adler's bottom. As soon as I picked him up, I noticed he left a Hershey Kiss like poop on my wood floor. PERFECT! But before I could do anything about it...Sadie, the black sheep-dog-mix, came to my rescue and ate the ENTIRE THING IN ONE LICK! It was complete disaster for like 30 minutes straight at the Hunton house. Stephen is at Young Life tonight, so I experienced this all by my lonesome.  Anyways, just wanted to share what a night a the Hunton house can be like! JEALOUS???

Galbreath Wedding Pics...we had fun!

Texas Pics!

Here are some pictures Stephen snapped of us getting ready for the Seller's wedding in Dallas. I think he wanted to prove his wife wears clothes other than t-shirts...





Some pictures of Adler's birthday party at my parent's house. Thanks, everyone, for coming! Adler loves his new gifts!!







Adler loved his party! His has no problem being the center of attention! He ate an entire cupcake at 8:30pm (it was a late party) and was then crawling up and down the kitchen, bobbing his head and saying "da, da, da, da" which I think means "eating this much sugar past my bedtime = the best night of my life!".








Out to dinner at Uni Sushi in The Woodlands with Uncle PT and Grammi. Note the DVD player...he was SUPER cranky when we first got there, so we opted to eat outside.

Houston Airport Security

Rest at ease, Houston....
Your Airport Security is efficiently requiring passengers to remove their shoes...even 1 year old babies. Yeah, that's right. The Houston Airport Security made Adler remove his highly dangerous camo Crocs. Has your confidence in Airport Security been restored? Good.

Adler Firsts in Texas

No pictures to post, but a couple "firsts" to report:

Adler plays in his first "Tree Hugging" playground. There is this indoor playground at the Woodlands Mall with this huge plastic tree. I think it talks or something, but there are all these rubber foresty things for kids to climb in, on, over, etc. Anyways, Stephen has always called it the "Tree Hugging" playground because he is convinced that the talking tree in brainwashing kids about not cutting down trees or something. My parents took Adler for his first experience and boy did he LOVE it. He could care less that he was the only crawling kid in the place. It was like he knew that place was for him...like a fish in water not to be cliche or anything. It was pretty cute.

Adler makes his first drawing. Maybe I should have kept it for the scrapbook or something?, but after a 2 hour meal, I think it had been slobbered on, bitten out of, and covered with bread/Adler drool paste. However, we went to a restaurant and because Adler is so big, since he was like 4 months, hostesses have been trying to give that kid crayons and paper. Finally I gave in today, expecting him just to try to eat the crayons, thus, creating rainbow poop. However he actually used the crayons to mark on the paper...oh and on the table too. His favorite color was blue if you were wondering.

Adler watches his DVD player at a restaurant. Yeah, I saw some people do this a while ago and I was like, "oh I would never.." Well, never say never. We went to kind of a nice restaurant and I needed him not to yell the entire time (Adler has the lung capacity to match his body size). Boy, does this work wonders!! Survival of the fittest, baby!

Huntons in Texas this Week!

Stephen, you are an amazing father and husband. Adler and I love you so much and are so thankful to get to admire you each day! Happy Birthday, baby!

Happy 1st Birthday Colby!

This Sunday, we celebrated Colby's 1st birthday! It was a great party - complete with a hayride for the kids! Thanks for hte great party, Colby!

Deamland BBQ

On the way home from Vicksburg to Atlanta, we stopped at the original Dreamland BBQ in Tuscaloosa, AL for some legendary ribs. And ribs we had because that's all they have besides bread! It was worth the stop! (Adler of course liked the bread)

The place was opend in 1958 by Mr. John "Big Daddy" Bishop. The dining room is small with a big bar, family like "bench" seating, and a pot bellied stove. Beer signs hang from the oak beams and Christmas lights hang from the walls all year 'round. It isn't fancy, but then again the ribs are the main attraction anyway. Adler and Stephen snapped a pic on the way out!
