Arizona

 This past week Hunter and I spent sometime with my parents in Arizona. We had a great time with them, and Hunter sure didn't take long to warm up to the new surroundings and made himself right at home. (Rearranged things in the living room, opened all the cupboards and drawers and left hand prints on all the glass he could find)
Growing up- we spent our Spring Breaks in Arizona and boy did this past week bring back those memories.... couldn't wait to get to the pool, and then hated to get out of it... Seems our little "water bug" had the same feelings. Hunter took to the water, like he had been swimming for years. No fear in this kid (yet) sure hope that continues, I love the water and could spend hours at the pool. So I'm really looking forward to spending the hot summer days at our neighborhood pool this year.

 Grandma and Grandpa hosted a little Ice Cream Social while we were there. Of course that afternoon it was super hot..... but I guess the heat made the homemade ice cream taste that much better. Hunter was a trooper with the heat and was having a great time showing off for everyone.
 Where's my ice cream........
 DJ Hunter at your service, what would you like to listen too?  This quickly became a favorite item of interest for Hunter. He even learned how to turn it on, and get a CD to play.
Swimming with Grandma. We went swimming every afternoon and evening. Seemed to be the trick to a peaceful nap and good night sleep.
Thanks for all the fun Grandma and Grandpa

Spring Time Fun Part 2


Oh how we love Spring time in Texas..... Finally, we get some super nice weather, where we can get out of the house and explore. In Texas Spring time means a whopping 2 or 3 weeks of great weather before the unbearable heat of summer sets in on us.... With that being said, we are taking full advantage of these beautiful days and cramming as much as possible into each and every day.
Hunter was doing a little kitchen exploring the other day, and discovered the drawer under the stove. Luckily, I just had some extra odds and ends stashed in there. And since then has become the "Go-To" fun spot of the house. Our little man could spend 30 minutes or more playing with the pans and spoons in his newly discovered treasure chest.
Any Spring Time photo in Texas would not be complete without the ever so famous Blue Bonnet photo's.  Although, Hunter had better things to look at than us during his photo shut, he still took some really cute photo's. This has to be my favorite time of year. I find myself looking so forward to the Blue Bonnet photo's. Even with the super hot summer lurking in the future, you just have to enjoy Spring time in Texas.




After playing in the fields of flowers, we went out for pizza. We thought Hunter would really get a kick out of eating pizza, but instead he was more into watching everyone else while stuffing his mouth with blueberries. Oh well, the pizza was good, I didn't have to cook or clean-up and Hunter had a great time. Recipe for a successfully fun day for the Garvey clan.
Hunter and I spent a relaxing morning at the Zoo, with a few close friends from our play group. We went into the bird house for the first time. WOW ~ a little scary at first with all the birds flying at you looking for the nectar cups, but once you're in and relax a little having a beautiful bird land on your arm is really a cool experience. But the ones that land on your head, not so cool.....
We plan on taking full advantage of our Zoo membership this year. The one really good thing about it is, we can get into the Zoo at 7:30 am, which gives us several hours before it actually opens to the public. Which means we're in and out before it gets to crazy or hot. yeah for us !!!!!
