Hunter enjoyed throwing rocks into the creek. He wasn't too interested in stopping to pose for pictures.

Ladies Hospitality Dinner

A couple of weeks ago, Mama and 6 other friends had a night out at our church with several other hundred ladies. Each year our church does a Ladies Hospitality Dinner where people decorate a table, invite friends and family, have dinner, and then get to hear a great speaker. Daddy and Chuck stayed at the house to babysit Hunter and Cai. Hunter's friends Ellie and Carsen (our next door neighbors) came to play and help out as well. They are great girls and they always make Hunter's day when he is with them!

This is my second year decorating a table and inviting some ladies. This year my theme was a candy table. I think it turned out great and we had an amazing evening! The food was good, the fellowship was good, and the speaker was great! Thanks to everyone who came out to support my table! :) I look forward to next year!



C-L-E-M-S-O-N!

For the first home game of the season, we had great weather for tailgating! Hunter and Mimi even came along to tailgate with us before heading back to the house to watch the game on TV. We realized a few days before the game, Hunter had outgrown all of his Clemson attire so we set out to find him something. We went downtown Clemson and couldn't find anything less than $30-$40 for him, so we decided to try out wally world! Sure enough...$15 for a cute Clemson football jersey! He was so excited about his "tigapaw"!
He really enjoyed all of the attention while tailgating! His cousin Bre was there and he loved that!

He also enjoyed playing with Sheridan! Her dad works with Hunter's Dada and so they came along and tailgated with us!

Mimi, Pops, and Aunt Amy found us a new tailgating game this year...the washer game! It is a lot of fun, even Hunter enjoyed playing (well he enjoyed taking the washers at least)! I'll have to practice up more but Derek, Daddy, and Tyler were great at the game.

Derek in deep concentration...great form! :)

Mimi, Pops, and Hunter all posed for a shot in their orange! How cute!

Hunter chillin'...

One of the only pics we could really get him to smile for that day...he had just found a "wock." Rocks are his favorite toys these days!

Posin' on the cooler...

Our attempts at trying to get a family pic but of course Hunter wanted to blow bubbles instead!

What a Surprise!


On the way back from Pigeon Forge, TN, we got a big surprise....ELK!!! We rounded one of the last curves coming over the mountain before we got into Cherokee and saw about 20 elk standing on the side of the road! We pulled off the side of the road along with all of the other 20 cars! It was so amazing how close everyone was to these wild animals!! It was like they didn't even care we were there. Hunter was in awe, along with everyone else! Maybe we'll get lucky some other time and get to see them again!

Off To Dollywood with Nana and "Bitt"

On Saturday, we headed over the mountains to Dollywood with Nana and "Bitt" (Britt). We were hoping Caleb would go with us, but he decided to stay home and work with his Daddy. We did miss him, but we had a great time!
Hunter just loves the cars that he can drive! It's always so hard to get a good picture while he is driving, so we had Britt and Hunter pose in a parked car instead!

This was our attempt of Dada holding out the camera to get our picture while we were on the ferris wheel.
Hunter seemed to enjoy it even though his facial expression may not look like it.
Britt was brave and turned around for the picture! Nana was not quite as excited about getting her picture taken like that!
Hunter and Daddy went fishing! Hunter caught a fish and got to choose a Dollywood bear to keep, however he wanted to take the fish and fishing pole instead!

It was great to have Britt with us. He fit much better in the kiddie rides than I do! Plus Hunter really enjoyed Britt riding with him.
It was hard to get Hunter to look at us for a picture. He was way too interested in the duck instead!
I really like this picture of Britt - cool and relaxed! :) He kept talking about he just LOVED to go on these kiddie rides, however deep down I know he enjoyed getting Hunter on and off of the ride all by himself and taking him on rides with him because I would volunteer to take Hunter and he would say, "No, I don't mind." He did so good with Hunter!

Britt had to entertain Hunter a little on the pigs. We should have done this ride first because it didn't go up in the air like the bee or play music with a button like the duck. It just went around in a circle, but Hunter still enjoyed it!

When we went to the Carousel, we let Hunter choose which horse or animal he wanted to ride and so he chose the "er, er, er, er, errrrr" - the rooster! What a fun day at Dollywood! We can't wait to go back!!

Hunter with his Great-Grannys!

While in Franklin for the couple of days, we went to see both of Hunter's Great-Grannys. It was great to be able to get a picture of Hunter with them both. He was so happy to be sitting with them! He has now learned to say "Grangee" and it is so cute! How fortunate we are to have such great families!!

Hunter Checks out His Big Boy Bed...


Last time we went up to Franklin to spend the night with Nana and Papaw, Hunter had a new bed to sleep in....a BIG BOY bed!! It was really nice and he had to check it out as soon as we got there. He did okay in it that night until about 3:00 in the morning when we heard a thud as he had wiggled down to the opening and had fallen out of the bed! Maybe we shouldn't run out and get him his new big boy bed for home yet but it was great to be able to try it out and Nana and Papaw's house. Thanks and we'll definitely try it again next time!

Mimi's Boy!


Mimi came to stay a few weeks ago with Hunter while Mama and Daddy photographed a wedding. Sunday morning we got up to get ready for church and we took a few pictures of Hunter with Mimi before she left to go back home. What a great picture of them!

Visiting With Friends

A few weeks ago, Daddy took pictures of Hunter's friend Kherington. After the pictures, they came back to play and eat pizza with us. Hunter had fun hanging out with his friend!

He even showed Kherington how his Lightning McQueen car works. They played great together and we'll have to invite Kherington over more often!

The next day, Hunter and Mama went to Greenville to visit and hang out with Jenny and Cai! Cai is growing so much! He is a cutie!!

Yummy....PLAYDOUGH! :)


Two weeks ago, Hunter and I made playdough! He really likes playing with it and actually likes trying to eat it each time as well. I'm not sure why he continues to try it because he coughs and spits it up everytime! Oh well maybe one day he'll learn. His favorite thing to make with the playdough of course is any kind of ball!

Painting Adventure!

I have been letting him have "art" time some days. He really enjoys painting with water colors, both on paper and on himself or anywhere he can. Since we have carpet throughout our house except for the kitchen, I have been letting him paint while in his highchair in the kitchen. He loves it! We do however need to get some more paint because all of the paint colors are now brown or black! He likes to mix colors! :)


So far, all throwing, writing, and now painting all points towards a right-hander, thank goodness! I wouldn't know how to help a lefty!

Like I said, he likes to paint everything these days!

This is who Hunter was painting for that day....his buddies..."EEELLLLLIIIIEEEEEE" (Ellie) and "CARCON" (Carsen). They are our sweet neighbors that Hunter loves so much! Everytime someone knocks on the door, he automatically assumes it is them. It is so cute!

Micaiah Davis Harrington Arrives!

Around 9:45pm Friday, July 31, Micaiah (Cai) Davis Harrington was born! We had been waiting in anticipation all day! He was so cute! He weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long! What a cutie!!!



I love the tongue sticking out!

Saturday morning Hunter came to the hospital and got to meet his new friend, Cai! He didn't know what to think. He just kept saying Cai and then he would say baby! When Michael held him and Cai, Hunter barely touched his face and just started smiling and clapping! How sweet! I'm sure Hunter will teach Cai a lot over the next few years...hopefully it will all be good things! :)
Me holding Cai for the first time!

He looked so small in Michael's arms...Hunter was never that little!

Amy and Mimi came with us also to see and meet Cai for the first time! Everyone was so happy that he was finally here! I'll make sure to post some more pics of Cai and his family soon!
For that moment, Hunter was excited to see Mimi holding Cai. Hopefully he will not become too jealous in the future! haha
Hunter was so sweet and careful with Cai. It's amazing how gentle he knew he needed to be!
