A Day In The Life

June has been a busy month!  Nothing extrodinary but of course our day-to-day life is pretty exciting.  Here's a bit of what June had in store for us.  Love our summer fun!

We had some new additions to the Hufford Home this month.  Daddy found these cuties nesting in our backyard tree.  Needless to say, it made quite an exciting time for the kiddos (and Daddy) to check on their progress daily.

We spent a LOT of time at the neighborhood pool.  This was a rare occassion where we got it mostly to ourselves.  Jonas is learning to be more confident with his puddle jumper and without Mommy by his side.  Needless to say, he's convinced he is drowning.....as is his big sister.  He spent most of his time floating there and calling for Mommy only to be saved by his sister.  Yes, Mommy had the situation perfectly assessed and there was no need for him to be worried.  However, it was adorable to hear Addison keep telling him "You're okay" as she hugged him and swam to the side to "save him."  She sure loves her brother.

I don't really remember what happened here but it's always hilarious to see the predicaments these children can get themselves into.  It's much more fun to make them pose for the picture than to save them right away.  ;)

Due to a sad family emergency we were able to have Uncle Jim visit from Utah.  Needless to say, the kiddos immediately took right to him and rarely left his side.  He makes a good wrestler...just like their Daddy.  They were definitely fans of Uncle Jim!

Just a random picture of a cutie-patootie playing with a "boon".  She loves her some "boon's!"

Sometimes, whentiny town and happened across a fun park to get our wiggles out at.  Jonas was immediately drawn to the "tracker" of course. running "boring errands" we decide to mix it up with a bit of excitement.  We spent this day in a VERY 

I had a few worries about Jonas' hearing.  Mostly, due to some old ear infections he had in the past but also because it seemed he didn't seem to be hearing a lot of what I was saying to him.  Welp, after a quick visit to the ENT (whom we love) we did a hearing test, had him checked out, and got the good news that he has absolutely NO hearing problems.  Those ears work like a charm.  Apparently so does his "typical boyhood" behavior of pretending to ignore Mom.  Not sure if I was very excited to hear that "good news."  I was hoping they'd have a good reason why this guy ignores me all the time!

We spent some time at a summer movie with some friends.  Of course, afterward we had to grab some groceries for dinner and these two LOVED pushing their very own shopping carts.  It was awfully cute to watch them even though they spent most of their time ramming them into the backs of my ankles.  ;)

Just a cute picture of a cute baby from an impromptu lunch at the "Poppy (popcorn) store"  (aka: Target)

Same trip, same lunch, same store, but different cute kiddos.  They sure love each other.  And are so well-trained in the art of posing for the camera.  Love these kiddos.

This little girly is quite excited about one of her baby milestones!  Her first gallon of whole milk!  Mommy's quite excited to cut the budget back from that expensive formula too!

Addison has always had a love for the life of a chef.  She offered to make me breakfast this morning so of course it didn't take me long to comply.  Here she is working hard to make some toast for me.  Such a cute chef.

And of course, her finished project.  Granola cereal and a beautiful piece of toast.  It's amazing how much better a meal can taste when you aren't the one who made it.  

Here we are enjoying our free summer lunches at Mary Mae Elementary.  The kids love eating at an actual school and I love not having to cook any lunch in the heat of the summer.  It's a win-win.

We spent a lot of our hot summer days at the local splash park.  It's a frequent excursion we do.  Of course, I had to snap a picture of this little model baby soaking in the sun and water.
