Makayla and her love for spaghetti

I couldn't resist!

The girl likes to eat! Like Mother like daughter!

I think we need to teach her how to eat with utensils, What do you think?

Don't mind the hair do... She's into doing her own hair these days!

Hunter lost his 1st & 2nd Tooth

Our little guy has lost his front teeth!

What an exciting day when he knocked his 1st lose tooth that was hanging by a thread out with the Wii controller. Mommy, Mommy it finally came out he screamed! It was the 1st night that Hunter couldn't wait to go to bed. He was so curious as too what the tooth fairy would leave and how she would get into the house and in his room without waking everyone up. I think his biggest concern was how she gets it out from under the pillow and the money back under? He had a couple theory's... "I think the tooth fairy has a special tooth vacuum that sucks the tooth out from under your pillow with a long sucker and when the tooth hits the canister she knows she's got it. She also uses the vacuum to slide the money back under the pillow without waking up the children." He was so serious with his explanation, then he thought about it again and said... "Or she's just magic like Santa." His 2nd tooth came out about a week later in a lean pocket he had for dinner. Luckily the tooth fairy found it before it was washed down the drain and never to be found! Hunters 1st tooth was worth $3.00 and 2nd was $2.00.

It's amazing how their little face changes when they start losing those baby teeth.

Pismo Beach

So the Elenbaas family finally planned a trip and headed to Pismo Beach! I know January is not the best time to head to Pismo, but we really lucked out with wonderful weather! We headed up in the motorhome and stayed at Pismo Coast Village RV resort. Not a bad place to stay unless they are remodeling the park and you are camped right by the pool that is under construction. Waking up to a jack hammer at 7am is not my idea of a vacation!!!

Besides the jack hammer noise and the pool being under construction the beach was beautiful! We brought the quads and jeep so we could do a little riding on the beach with the kids. Hunter had a blast walking along the beach looking for sand dallors and Makayla just loved playing in the sand. It was a great weekend of riding the quads, playing on the beach and yummy food and camp fires at night! Another great weekend spent in the RV

Thanks Rob, Chris, McKenna, Parker, Rusty and Linda for a great weekend!!

Happy 6th Birthday Hunter

Our little man has turned 6! What a wonderful 6 years it's been! Hunter is such a great little person! He is such a loving little boy with so many great things to add to our family! I think the best thing about our little Hunter is his personality! He is funny, bright, witty and one of the best hugger's around! Happy Birthday Little Man!

We celebrated Hunter's Birthday with a fun family party on Friday Night January 9th! He wanted a Guitar Hero party... I want family to come over and play the Wii and watch me rock out with my guitar. Hunter always has specific things he wants and things he wants to do! Nana came to my rescue with his request for a guitar shaped carrot cake. Mommy, Hunter said... I want it to look just like my guitar. And so Nana created it!!! Thanks Nana... You did a great job!!! We also celebrated Hunter's Birthday with a couple old Pre-school friends and some new Kindergarten friends and don't forget his little neighborhood friends as well. Hunter again new exactly what he wanted to do for his Birthday with his friends!!! Let's go Roller Skating! What a great night we had at Riverside's 2001 Roller City! It was a little difficult at first for some of the little ones to get the hang of being on skates, but about 1 hour into the party they were all making it around the rink! I think alot of the parents had a blast just reliving old Middle School and High School days! Thanks everyone for helping us celebrate Hunter's Birthday!

Hanging out watching the Big kids skate!

Yummy Chocolate cupcakes!

January 9th 2003... It's a Boy!

Hunter Ryan Elenbaas

8lbs, 7 oz, 21 inches long

I remember the moment that Dr. King said... It's a boy! The tears on your Daddy's face and the smile on mine! We were so glad you had arrived! You were 2 1/2 weeks early and I wasn't sure we were ready, But it all worked out just fine! You were so perfect from the start! Your perfect little ears and tiny little toes. It was so much fun just to look at every little piece of you!

We spent many hours together just sleeping! You were a cuddle bugs from the start!

There was no argument as too who you looked like!!!

It's so crazy to see the resemblance to you and your Daddy when he was a baby!

You were the cutest thing we had ever seen!!!

You always keep us on our toes!!

What a Fun Baby and what a Fantastic little boy!!

Happy 6th Birthday Hunter!!!

We had a great time camping with friends and a new group of Jeepers' "The Runamucks" It was a nice relaxing trip with lots of down time to relax.
