Soccer Games, OP Parade, Trains and more

We had a busy weekend!  Friday night Hunter and I went to Cole's soccer game.  It was their first game of the weekend tournament.  Hunter really enjoys watching the game and has fun running around with his soccer ball.  Cole's team won so it was a great start for the weekend.  Saturday morning Hunter and I walked in the OP Parade in support of my friend Emily's husband, Zach Luea who is running for state representative for the 19th District.  It was a long morning and Hunter ended up falling asleep in his stroller about half way through the parade.  That afternoon Jeremy, Hunter and I went to the Union Pacific Family Day to see my dad.  Hunter liked looking around and listening to the train bell while waiting to see inside the engine.  Next year it will be fun to see him enjoy more of the kid friendly activities.  Sunday Jeremy and Hunter went to his parents for a visit and later in the afternoon Hunter and I went to watch Cole play in the championship game.  They won, but it wasn't the best game they have played.  Here are pictures from the weekend.

Long time....

It's been over a month since my last post!!  I guess we have been busy:-)
The happenings:

• Hunter turned 13 months old
• Jeremy was busy with a side job and his work got really busy so we hardly saw each other for two weeks
• our nephew Wyatt turned 6
• our niece Cally turned 2
• we have had some play dates with friends and cousins
• trips to the park and the Lenexa Community Center
• started a sign and sing class
• deer season opened up
• a couple Parents as Teachers visits
• Hunter got his upper teeth, he loves to look outside for squirrels, can say and point out deer, kicks a ball into the soccer goal, loves to take Jeremy's phone and listen/dance to music, continues to play and interact with bow; giving him lots of hugs
• soccer games
• Bow got groomed...long overdue!  
• my car (along with several in the neighborhood) was broken into.  they took a card holder wallet that had store reward cards, punch cards, gift cards and an empty vera bradley wallet I was selling on craigslist and was later found by our neighbor in their yard and turned into the police...I need to call them to get it from evidence.  So what they took really meant more to me then what they probably thought they got...but they will be getting a free pizza, planet sub sandwich and some starbucks.  grrr
• I had a few moles biopsied and found one to be mildly atypical so a few more are going to come off
• Hunter has slept through the night a handful of times (that's probably the biggest and most exciting thing that has happened!) 
• it's been consignment sale shopping galore! 
• and Hunter turned 14 months old:-)

I'm finding it to be really difficult to take pictures at events so I'm missing out on a ton of photo opportunities but hopefully soon I can become better at snapping a quick photo to remember the moment.

So here is a photo dump of the past month...I will be a better blogger this month....  :-)

Hunter turns 13 months!

Just something silly from Hunter's birthday dinner...

First time on the soccer field

Two days after Hunter's birthday he started taking steps and now he is unstoppable!  Cole has a tournament this weekend so we headed out to watch and after the game Hunter took the field.  Here is some video.  I think there might be another future soccer player:-)
