Can't say winter's been all drab. We have enjoyed a few snow days. This was Gunner's first skiing experience! He was a good sport and lasted for quite awhile considering the conditions and it being his first time. When we rented the skies, all they had left were bigger ones then for his size, BUT...they had purple, pink, yellow, green & blue hearts all over them so Gunner did not mind he thought they were pretty slick! I'm glad dad knows how to ski...mom just stuck to snow boarding & picture taking! Gunner's favorite part has standing on the magic carpet to ride to the top...

Well this winter has been dragging on for awhile now, so something Gunner has enjoyed doing is playing ball! Probably not the best thing to do in the house, but we use a giant beach ball so nothing gets damaged, too much anyways! ;) Gunner is actually very good about getting his stance just right & is showing talent in batting right & left handed, and he had to wear dad's hat to make it official...man it will be great to get out to the fields!
Gunner loved this experience...we had been shopping with Grandma Hatch and decided to go to Red Lobster for lunch. After we ate, one of the hostess' got a lobster out for us to see. She told gunner to run grab a crayon & hand it to the lobster! It grabbed it with one of his small claws and waved it around for a bit, Gunner was tickled to death that the lobster held his crayon, which he still has to this day!


Gunner's 3rd Birthday Party!! We had a pizza party with Grandma & Grandpa Hatch, Aunts , Uncles, and cousins. Food, cup cakes, presents, games, what fun! After there was a parade and a fireworks for the festival of lights in Preston...it was a fun evening!


Gunner loves being outdoors! We've spent many summer days playing at the park...
Cowboy Gunner...

One of our favorite 'Sunday activities' was relaxing out side in the swing at Grandma & Grandpa Hatch's, eating swedish fish & sipping juice pouches! Gunner about 16 months old...

A nice summer day helping Grandpa Hatch work on the lawn mower...Gunner was about 15 months old
