california cousin

Yeah!! My older brother and his wife welcomed their first baby into this world last night at 11:35. Logan and Nixon are proud to say that they have a cousin in California, although they haven't met him yet, because Kaiser is strict and wouldn't let my darlings into the room. It may just be that Liam has angels watching out for him protecting him from Logan.

Shane Liam Holloway (they are going to call him Liam)
6 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inch (he's just a little guy)
He has the darkest hair and lots of it
I'm pretty sure I will be his favorite aunt, but the poor little guy doesn't know what's in store for him with his cousin Logan. He'll have to be one tough kiddo!

Bye Bye Books

I'm cleaning out my garage. I've been throwing away a ton of stuff and I finally decided to part ways with all of my college nursing books. Tons of money, time, and tears went into these books. I'm saving a few of my favorite and most expensive ones (one of them cost me over $300, how rediculous is that?). Anyone know where I can take them?

No extra hour of sleep here

Gone are the days that Kyle and I get an extra hour of sleep with the fall time schedule change. These kids haven't changed their internal clocks yet so we are getting up bright and early with them. They are pretty grouchy with their schedules being off.
My faithful thumbsucker has had it with today, and has decided to sleep away most of the morning. His bottom teeth are breaking through so he is pretty angry.

Oh my dear Logan, such an angel when he is sleeping! Another story when he wakes up.

Halloween

Logan was throwing fits to put on his costume, but once a few lollipops made it into his bag he was pretty happy.

A quarterback and his football.

We just trick or treated around 2nd street.

Nixon gummed this sucker (in the wrapper) to smithereens

We met up for dinner with some friends. Logan loves Harrison (or "Harris" as Logan calls him). They play lots of crazy boy games. And while Logan is usually a bully to most, he is pretty nice to Emrys, although I did notice him starting to poke her eyes the other night. Can you blame him they are so pretty and big.

Lots of Dland

Some of Kyle's family came down for a Disneyland trip. We spent two full days there with them. I think I have had my fill of Disneyland for awhile!!

Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures.

Nixon loved having cousins in the backseat to entertain him. I love this chunky face. Logan LOVES his cousin Ryan. Poor Ryan took some beatings from my little boxer. Logan is lucky to have cousins who love him even if he is rough.

Oh so squinty, I wonder if he saw that we were riding in elephants.

What boy doesn't love bugs?

I let Logan take a 2 hr nap in the stroller while Nixon climbed around the candy corn garden. This kid always has his tongue out of his mouth. I think the doctor loosened it a little too much.

Mess

I was cooking dinner tonight and asked Logan to give Nixon a few cheerios. He poured the whole box out onto Nixon's tray and all over the floor. Nixon was in cheerios heaven. Logan just said, "mess." Thanks Logi.

Warning: to any of my inlaws coming to visit in a few days, beware of the mess that is my home. I can't seem to clean fast enough to compensate for the mess that these Hunt boys create (father included).

Fall=Flu

I love fall minus the fact that it starts flu season. Nixon had his 8 month checkup and received his flu shot along with a couple others. My sweet little boy is growing up quickly (actually he only gained a 1/2 inch in length). He has been climbing up on everything for about the pass month. Luckily, Logan is around to knock him down. I guess Logan knows I'm not ready for Nixon to grow up yet. I have a feeling I will be chasing around 2 active boys soon.

Nixon still sleeps in my bedroom in the pack n play. This is my view from the bed at 6:30 in the morning. It may be time to move him out of the room. Nixon really is just the sweetest boy. Although, the other day he was laughing and I heard a hint of an evil laugh, that I'm sure he picked up from his older brother. It scared me.

Logan was at school while I was at the doctors, so he missed his chance to get his flu shot. I asked the pediatrician if I could just have a vial of that nasty flu virus to give him myself.....and she let me. Just another reason I love Dr. Chang. Logan didn't like me for a second after the shot, but he's forgotten about it now.

My boys are building antibodies to the flu virus as I speak.

A new annual passholder

Kyle went kicking and screaming, but I think he enjoyed watching the kids see the magic that is Disney. And since Logan can be very convincing, Kyle purchased an annual pass to Disneyland. I couldn't be happier, I see many fun family nights at the park ahead of us. Logan saw Disneyland from up high, since he got to be held through all the lines.

As for Nixon, he stayed strapped to his mom, just like he always is.

Happy birthday dear Kyle

I won't tell you how old he is today, but lets just say he's been around for awhile.

Don't you feel like you were just looking at pictures of Nixon......I do!

I will be really weirded out if Nixon's hair turns this color.

We are having a fun party tonight at Disneyland tonight, just the 4 of us!!!

Trisha time

I was feeling a little frumpy so I went to Megan for a hair makeover.

Sorry the picture isn't that great......I waited until the end of the day to take it, but megan did a great job and I love it!

Logan got a haircut too, only his dad messed up so it resulted in a buzz.
