All American Kids

I thought it would be fun to sit outside with the kids and watch the fireworks. Boy was I wrong. Some neighbors were lighting fireworks in Candace's cul-de-sac and I guess they were way to close for comfort. Hunter and Kylie both started crying and shaking, Kylie ran inside the house and slammed the door and Hunter threw up all over the driveway and then had quite a stinky diaper if you get my drift...(my poor sensitive boy). It was actually kind of funny but I did feel bad that my kids were scared to death. We tried to explain that the fireworks were pretty and Hunter cried..."FIRE--YERKS pretty???" but I don't think he bought it at all. So I loaded them up in the car and they made me feel like I was driving through a war zone trying to save my children. Hunter screaming "FIRE--YERKS FIRE--YERKS!!!" and Kylie asking "Mommy are the fireworks going to burn our car?" This picture of Hunter was taken earlier that morning but I thought it summed up our evening of "FIRE--YERKS"





Kylie loves having a sister (especially thanks to Grammy and the matching shirts)...and Emma doesn't know it yet but I think she does too.



100% All American grown babies

(sorry but I think she's just sooo cute bear with me...)



Hope y'all had a great 4th!!!

Ode to Summer Time


Ahh yes the "EMMA HAWK"
(no matter what I do this is the what I get...)


We spend every day either at Grammy's pool or the "Big Pool" When we ask who wants to go to the pool Hunter raises up both hands and says "MEEE" and then runs around looking for his swimming "SOUP"
(that's swimming suit for those of y'all who don't speak Hunterese.)


He loves his little sister and sometimes his hugs can be a little overwhelming...but you've got to love those puppy eyes.
(this is the way he get's away with stuff...who can resist those eyes!!)


And who can resist these eyes...
(man I've gotta watch out or they'll walk all over me with these cute eyes)


All this fun we've been having this summer sure wears Emma out...



Are those guilty faces or what??
We didn't do it Mom honest...................

Summer time sure has been fun around here!

Emma's Blessing



So this post is supposed to be before Hunter's birthday but I messed up...

Emma was blessed by her Daddy on June 3rd. Her Grandma and Grandpa Carey flew in from California to be there and her Grammy Clark and Aunt Ashley, Uncle Mike and cousin Lincoln were there too. It was so nice to have all the family together.

Hunter turns 2!!


Hunter waiting for his birthday cake...

DrumRoll Please...(mommy spent hours on this so let's get excited!)

And all he could say was...


VROOMM...VROOOMM
(it was good enough for me)


It was definitely a car themed birthday...


and he loved every bit of it...



Hunter and his cousin Lincoln both loved the car that does flips...I would have to call it a success.
