Family Photo Shoot

After reviewing our last 7 months of pictures of Adler, we realized we were missing one thing...a picture with all 3 of us! We decided it would be a good idea to have a talented individual who could capture our family in it's most natural state of entertaining Adler....check out www.btophotography.com for more great images:

Update

My goodness, it must have been annoying to see those same pictures for so long! My apologies! Things have gotten busy and I haven't been good about updating. I always feel I need a picture for an update, and it seems to take me time (something I have little of these days). Anyways, Here are some pics of the last couples must to bring you up to date...

Adler takes his first road-trip to Vicksburg, MS to visit his Great Grandma DO (Kristine's grandma). Vicksburg is a special place because this is where I (Kristine) was born, crawled on this very same carpet (kinda scary), and spent many family trips...


A couple weeks later, we flew into Little Rock, Arkansas to meet his other grandparents. This is Adler with Jean and Wally Hunton, Stephen's grandparents. We were at their house for Easter weekend and had a great time!


Adler also met is Great Grandma Louise, Stephen's grandma in Benton, Arkansas. (Raynelle's mom) Louise bought Adler a special Easter bunny when we were out shopping.
Of course we couldn't leave the great state of Arkansas without seeing Stephen's buddies and former band-mates Zach Gump and Greg Guiott. Zach and Greg are currently playing in an awesome 80's band in Fayetteville called "Molten Lava" if you are ever in the area to check them out:

Adler had to show off his belly to his Grammi..

My Easter baby, isn't he cute?
Hunton Family.................
Our latest family trip was to Gulf Shores, Alabama with the Well's family. KT's family invited us to stay with them for an entire week at a rented house. It was a great time - Adler and Emma had lots of fun playing in the sand together, sharing toys, a runny nose...a beautiful start to a marriage :)

Hey ladies, hang on now...I'm taken...

Ha, ha, I know you can't help yourself....

This girl I'm seeing, well, she's thumbs up cool.....
Her mom is really fun.......
And she can't keep her hands off me!
These pics are from March, but I thought I'd throw them into the mix anyways. Aunt Rylie joined us as we took a family trip to the Atlanta Zoo. Adler met the new baby panda (her daddy is in the back ground in this picture) - although I'm not sure how much he'll remember since he was asleep 80% of the time.

On my honor, I promise, to be a better blogger..now and forever more. Amen.

Play2Grow - Spaghetti Time

6months old and the "man boobs" to prove it!

Little Adler (minus Little) is now 6 months old! Can you believe that? Just a few days ago he was born and weighed under 7 lbs. He is our potato sack of joy, simply because when you hold him for more than 5 minutes you realize what working in Idaho must feel like.

Adler just keeps going and going, and Kristine has done an amazing job as his Mommy. We took these pictures over the weekend. His expressions and character are really starting to come out and it's so much fun to see him grow. You can see more pics at:

Play time with Sadie

Sadie teaches Adler how to roll over......
Tummy time with Sadie

Adler loves rice cereal!


So does Sadie! (Adler seems a bit jealous)
Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! We will be in Arkansas with Stephen's family...new pics to come! I can't wait until Adler can experience his first Easter egg hunt next year!

Best birthday morning ever

I had a wonderful 27th birthday morning! After Adler had breakfast, we had some family cuddle time. We brought out the camera (it's always close by, just in case!) and the pics came out really great! Here are a few:

Adler's first trip to Texas..

I know, if you have to read that cheesey Adler poem one more time you are going to permanently delete this blog from your book mark tool-bar and never to return again...




My apologies, we've been busy traveling in the past 3 weeks. We went to Texas for an unexpected weekend trip. It was Adler's first time on a plane and he did great! My parents hosted a really fun party at their house and invited lots of our family friends. Adler got to see his future wife (Emma Kate) - Katie and I talked flower arrangements...(jk) We had a great time with both our families!



Two weekends later we took another flight back to Houston. This time, we stayed for an entire week. It was fabulous! The main reason we decided to go when we did was because my mom was off work for spring break. There were some sad events that happened while we were there - Stephen's mom's best friend, Marianne, passed away of a rare heart disease. It was painful to see the heart-ache of our friends and family - we grieved the tragic loss with them. Marianne was so special to our family and will be deeply missed! I was so thankful we were there when we were and to see the joy that Adler seemed to bring to those who loved her.



On a happier note, some fun things we did were: lunch with Katie, Emma, Deanna and Adler in the Village (despite an intense down-pour while we were there), Easter out-fit shopping for Adler with my mom, birthday lunch (turned 27 on 3/9) at an Irish Pub on The Woodlands river-walk with PT and Stevo, grocery shopping spree for the Huntons, went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with Ben and Meghan in a limo (nothing less of course!) to see Dierks Bentley, chocolate martinis with Stephen on Market Street, free babysitting!, mexican food with the Huntons, taking Adler to the church nursery for the first time....watching so many people love on Adler!



It was so hard to leave! And such a fabulous vacation for me! Thanks to our parents for making it happen and for caring for Adler while we were there! It was a great time for our family!


The next couple weeks, the Huntons will be on a "Tour de South". We will be going to Vicksburg, MS to visit my Grandma D.O., then to Arkansas the following weekend to visit Stephen's grandparents. Adler is becoming quite the traveler!

He is getting so big...and cuter by the day, I must say. Enjoy the new pics!
