Here is what I imagined would be a fun afternoon of play for Hunter.....

What's that????

Grandma showing Hunter all of the fun you can have in the leaves...

bye bye silly Grandma!

Grandpa thought he could get Hunter to play in the leaves....

that didn't work either......Hunter was not having it!! Boy was I wrong! Maybe next year???

A few days late to post but my niece Ally celebrated her 10th Birthday on Sunday, here are some pictures from her party!

Someone's new nickname is little KISS!

Apparently being a Rock Star runs in the family!

This blog comes with a lot of thought and hesitancy. As you know my Grandpa Daugherty died a week ago today, the past few weeks have been very difficult for our family and losing Grandpa is a loss that cannot be expressed in words. I have decided to continue blogging as a tribute to Grandpa as he loved the blog, it was only the past few months he was unable to view it as he was too sick. Losing a loved one is always difficult, but losing my Grandpa is more than losing a loved one, losing him is losing part of myself and part of our future. We will forever miss him, and grieve for every holiday or event from now on that we are without him. With that I can only express how grateful I am to have had him for as long as I did, for Hunter to have not only met him but to have tons of pictures to look back and know how much his "Pampa" loved him! I am so thankful to have my family, I love you more than you'll ever know, my Grandma who is such a strong woman and had 58 wonderful years married to Grandpa, with that they started their family my Mom who married my Dad and just Friday celebrated 33 years together! They had Amy and I, and raised us to value the importance of family and love, for that I am forever grateful! I have learned in the past few weeks the value of love, family and friendship. Thank you to all of you who have shown your support! I am so thankful and blessed! Now our family has one more angel watching out for us! This blog is dedicated to my Grandpa who knew how much we loved him!!! and we knew how much he loved us!!!!

A few pictures from over the past year.....

Last Halloween Pampa and Gigi and their little Puppy!

A new tradition last year, drawing names for Christmas. I drew Grandpa's name and got him a silver dollar in his birth year for his collection, he was excited!

The Pajama Pants Christmas Tradition!

A beautiful Mother's Day

Father's Day kisses!

Pampa's little Buddy

My birthday, at almost 80 Grandpa was still a Party Animal at heart!

Getting some rest....

Hunter mimicking Pampa, who got a big laugh out of it! At times his little shadow!

This was Halloween, Grandpa felt horrible but he came to see Hunter anyway and this is the last picture we have, symbolic in retrospect as Hunter is kissing him goodnight. Good Night!

A few weeks ago Hunter and I joined our good friends Miss Amy, Paige and Molly for a day of fun! There was lunch, suckers!!!

Shopping and as a reward Playing!!! Anyone need a taxi???

More Suckers!!! Ever since Hunter's birthday party Hunter and Paige's favorite thing to do together is have suckers!

It's a race car kids, Hunter thought it was a "jet ski" and Paige thought it was an "airplane"! Oh, to be young and creative again!!! Have a great weekend!

Hunter's first experience with blood tonight!!! There have been many skinned knees, but this was his first taste of blood, literally! This new stage Hunter has been in is full of rambunctiosness!!!! Jumping, Rolling, Flopping, Falling, Running and
Getting Hurt! He sure thinks it's fun, oh to be young again! Hope you are having a great week!

It was Halloween Night and Hunter was ready to go say "trick or treat"!!!

Hunter's first real time Trick or Treating! Last year he went to the neighbors but didn't get the concept, this year not only did he get it, he loved it!!! Most of all he loved the CANDY!!!!

Peeps!!! Here are some pictures of some of the treats Hunter consumed, and now begs for on a daily basis!

Pretzels....Hunter most likely had more treats on Halloween than he has had his life combined!

Fruit Snacks....Give him Candy and he should have been dressed up like a little devil!

Candy is almost gone but Hunter is still looking for more....

Still looking for more candy in a bag of goodies from Papa and Grandma!

A special Halloween gift from Grandpa, Grandma, Pampa & Gigi! Instead of candy they always buy Hunter something special, this year he got a cool outfit and......new "eyes".....

Modeling his Halloween PJ's and Eyes! Night Night and that's a wrap on Halloween!

Last weekend Hunter was invited to a kids Halloween Party, it was fun for him because his cousins were there and there was good food and fun! Here are some pics....

All the kids decorated pumpkins to take home, Hunter tried, but....

A little Skeleton (aka. cousin Kimmy) came to the rescue to give Hunter a hand making his pumpkin.

Hunter and his cousin one of the Pink Ladies (aka. Ally) smiling pretty!

Fun with Luke Sky Walker (aka.cousin Joey)

The cousins pose for a picture....Hunter is happy and smiling....until.....

Oh No! What's that???? Mask, "no like it"!

I've gotta get out of here!!!

Hunter's first party and first treat bag! He had a great time! More Halloween photos to come....

We hope your Halloween was as much fun as ours!!!! Here are some pics from our photo shoot....

Hunter's love of motorcycles created this year's costume....Motorcycle Man!

So cute it's scary!

Is that a wink or a growl???

Doing tricks already!
