August Fun

That last few weeks, we've been having fun in our backyard. We have a small garden and an herb garden. We all like playing in the dirt. At the beginning of the summer, we had this plant growing in our herb garden. We decided to just let it grow. Low and behold, it was a giant sun flower.

One evening while working in the garden, Hunter pulled off a very red tomato. He as carrying it around as if it was his greatest prize. When we came inside, he had already started to eat it. So we stripped him down and let him at the tomato. We loved it and ended up eating almost 3/4 of the tomato.

I head braids in my hair one morning. Hunter was trying to figure out what was in my hair (the hair ties at the bottom). He had a bag clip in his hand and keep trying to to put it in his hair. So, I did it for him. He wore it for a while. We just had to laugh at Hunter. He has also figured out the rubber bands go in your hair to! He's a cutie!!

Yes, he's talking on a cell phone. He learned this in Arizona!

Nick had done some fixing on our sprinkler system and had a PVC pipe left over. We decided to give it to Hunter. One day, we were blowing in it like it was a trumpet. Hunter looked at us like "I want to try'. So we gave it to him and he put is mouth on it and made tons of noises. He was laughing while doing it. The best part was that his voice would come out the end, and we were afraid that he might pass out, but he hasn't yet.

At the end of last growing season, we had a little maple tree growing in our garden. In the spring, we dug it up and re-planted it. We have to hand water it because we haven't figure out where it's home will be. Hunter so was intrigued that he had to play in it. He would dig and throw out the dirt. It was pretty funny. Also, the little brick flower bed behind us, in the picture, Hunter would climb up and over it to get to the other side of  the planter. He figure how to climb it all by himself, and didn't even get a hurt.

By the time we were ready to come back in, Hunter decided that he was going to climb in the Maple tree planter. He wanted to be up close and personal with it and the dirt. I love that he is so curious.

The dirt monster is coming after us!!!

I love this shot, because it's the 'Oh, no! I got caught!' I sure love this little man. Can't believe that he's been in our life for almost a year! Love you Hunter!!
