Hunter is learning to eat on his own now days. He had mashed potatoes & gravy tonight. He did try feeding himself with a spoon, but after a while he got tired of that and gave up. This is the after effects of it. He really did enjoy his dinner and amazingly he ate quite a bit of it. But need less to say, we had a bath tonight.
He is growing up so much and so fast. He has learned to drink from a straw. He hasn't quite figured out that if he doesn't tip the sippy cup (with a straw) he will get more out of it. It's a work in progress.
Another one of Hunter's favorite things to do these days is to undress us. He doesn't like socks being on his feet and he's convinced that if his socks are off, everybody else's should be too. He will take off his socks and then make the rounds around the room to mom and dad and pull ours off too.

Did you see it???


Did you see the sun today? In our neck of the woods, it snuck out from behind the clouds for a little bit. It made me so happy! I forgot how much I take the sun for granted. We haven't seen this thing for a good 2 weeks now and I was starting to get a little depressed. It's that sundowners thing. But for a brief moment in time, I saw the sun. What a glorious thing. I'm so greatful Heavenly Father has blessed us with such a simple but very vital planet! So, if you haven't seen the sun for a little while, I hope you enjoy this sun. :)

It's Josh's fault!!!

So we got a phone call and I sure do wish I would have answered it. It was a member of the bishopric calling to ask us to speak in church! I HATE HATE HATE speaking in church. The last time I had to do it was just right after we got married and it was about 5 minutes and then I was done. I prepared for 2 1/2 weeks and had 3 pages full of stuff and it was 5 MINUTES!!! If I would have answered the phone I would have said no. I'm seriously stressing over this ordeal. I mean I sat and bawled through church last week because I don't want to do this. Nonetheless, the topic is COURAGE! (which I'm obviously lacking) This is not a plea to come and listen to me because believe me there won't be much to listen to and I'd rather not have people come cuz then I'll be even more nervous about it. But this is a plea for help. If you have any brillant ideas, send them my way. I'm supposed to base my talk off of Elaine Dalton's conference talk. I don't have it in front of my but I think it's called A return to virtue. Any help will be greatly appreciated! And wish me luck and say LOTS of prayers for me.
