Our Family: The Hapgood's: Family time!

This past month we've had some of my family come visit which was a lot of fun. Tyler was baptized over the Memorial Day Weekend and my mom, brother and sister-in-law came down for that. Matt and Jessica are Tyler's Godparents =) (My brother is also Hunter's Godfather and Sean's sister is his Godmother). It was a nice private ceremony with my family and Sean's family and the priest was the same priest that baptized Hunter so it made it even more special. Tyler did great (as usual) and it was a short 30 minute session and later we went back over to Sean's parent's house for some lunch and a much needed nap for Tyler.

We had a pretty eventful time when they were here with lots of dinners (and drinks..lol) and places to go. I have to admit I went out a lot which is rare these days so lets just say when they all left we were all pretty pooped but we had a blast. This was also the first night that I had ever left both the boys overnight with my mom. All 4 of us went casino/bar hopping around Fort Lauderdale. We checked into a nearby hotel and cabbed it all around town. We had a blast and was fortunate for my mom for us to make a night out together.

Marnie and Eric were able to meet us out for dinner the night we stayed overnight.

Hunter and Tyler both got a shirt from their Godparents that said "The Godchild" on it. I am still trying to get them to both wear this shirt at the same time and smile! LOL. Its so hard when Hunter hates getting his photo taken now. =(

A few weeks later my dad came into town for business and was able to make a vacation out of it and stay with us for a few days. We had lots of fun with Paw. He was at a conference all during the week right in downtown Fort Lauderdale so we were able to meet him for lunch one day.

When he was all done with his conference, we went to Parrot Jungle Island in Miami Beach. Sean had to work this day but Paw was a great help with the boys and Hunter loved seeing all the animals!

Hunter loves feeding ducks!

Rooooaaaar! Hunter loved that the tiger came up so close to us.

Big Turtle!

Behind them is where all the alligators were that you can't see.

My dad and Sean spent an entire afternoon one day building this airplane teeter totter for the boys. Then afterwards Sean and Hunter went for a dip in the pool. Hunter chose to go naked! LOL. .

My dad and I even managed to go out on a dinner date! It felt like old times when we would meet once a week for lunch. Glad we got to spend some time one-on-one time.

We managed to get out for an afternoon to Hunter's favorite park where we fed the duckies (we always have to do that) and ride his bike all around the lake.

In the meantime, everyone has been doing well. Sean has officially started studying for his Captain's exam which he will take in December. Hunter hit a little bit of a growth spurt because all of his 3T stuff is starting to not fit him and his 3 year old molars have officially started to come in. I feel like I have 2 babies teething because all Hunter wanted to pretty much eat for a week was popsicles, ice cream and yogurt. LOL. Tyler has officially started cruising and has recently started using his push toy every now and then around the house. Hunter has been doing a teeny bit better sharing his toys with Tyler. A lot of it is Tyler being so curious with his toys too that Hunter isn't used to some baby just reaching for everything that he plays with so its been a struggle at both ends. I've realized that this is always going to be an issue with the both of them, I just have to help them get along and both be happy about it.

Hunter is very much into riding his bike all around and still loves swimming in the pool. He can swim all the way from the shallow end to the deep end with poking his head up once or twice for air. He's fearless in the water! He's still Mr. Bossy but has at least starting saying Please and Thank you along with his demands....so that helps! LOL. He's also very into dinosaurs right now too. Sean popped in that Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs movie for him one day and he is hooked! I also went on Ebay and ordered The Land Before Time movie and he loves that too! I remember when I was a kid I loved is as well.
