Fun in Huntsville

We are in Huntsville and once again, having a blast! We have done so much this trip. Gaines has had a wonderful time. He has gotten to ride a carousel, run through a fountain twice, hang out with his friend Beau, and he has been to the pool! He's been busy! Not to mention all of the spoiling his grandparents have done since we've been here. I'm just sad we have to go back tomorrow. These trips always go by so fast. We need prayer tomorrow! He cried three out of the five hours it took to drive up here! Check out our videos of Gaines running through the fountain at Bridge Street.

I'm a Terrible Blogger!

This is going to be a long blog and I don't know how to get these pictures to do right. Everyone will just have to figure out which one's are which. I can't believe it's been two months since I last posted! We have been busy since the spring. I didn't post it, but back in April I was able to visit my good friend Kellye in Birmingham. We were able to go to the A Day game in Tuscaloosa. While we were there I got to see my other good friend Emily and her baby Jaxson. We had so much fun!

The first week of June we were able to take a trip to Huntsville to see my family. While we were there Chad and I got to celebrate our anniversary at the new restaraunt Dolce. It was definately the nicest restraunt that we've ever eaten at! We were also able to stay next store at the new Westin hotel. We had such a great time that week!

Shortly after I took my LMSW exam that I had studied for since January. All my hard work finally paid off because I passed by five points! That same day, Gaines got to go to our neice Alyssa's fourth birthday party. He got to swim in the baby pool with his other cousin Abbie. He loves the water! It doesn't scare him a bit!

The week of the fourth of July was a big week for the Huffs! Chad bought a new truck and it is soooo nice! I don't have pictures yet but it's a 2006 white Chevy Silverado 4x4. He definately deserves it! We were able to take it on our family vacation to Orange Beach over the holiday. We had a wonderful time there! My parents and sister and brother-in-law were there with us. Gaines is a beach bum just like his parents! He loved it! The sand didn't bother him a single bit. The summer's not over. Gaines and I still have one more trip to Huntsville planned for August while Chad is in two a day practices. Then it will be that time of year again. We're looking forward to another winning season!

Gaines' Birthday Party Pictures

We had Gaines' party last Saturday. Thank you to everyone who came out. I hope you had as much fun as we did! Gaines' outfit was a hit (thank you Kendra!). We stripped it off of him so he could dig into his cake. He didn't quite know what to do at first, but it didn't take him long to figure out that he liked it! He ate almost the whole thing! Here are some pictures of him and Toby enjoying the red wagon we bought him for his birthday as well as the swing we got him. If you didn't get to come, we missed you! Maybe next year!

It's Gaines' Birthday Week!!!

Sorry it's been so long since we posted. Our computer had a short in it and we had to get it fixed. Luckily it's fixed, because I just picked Gaines birthday pictures up! His birthday is this Thursday, May 8th. I can't believe he's going to be one already! There's more than this but I've been scanning for an hour and everyone can get a good idea from the ones I've posted. Hope to see you all at his party on Saturday!

New Pics

The weekend before last we went to Huntsville. It was fun as usual! Gaines got toys from his Nana and Grandpa since he didn't get to see them for Easter. Then he got some more from his great grandparents! While we were there, we got his pictures made in his Easter outfit. Needless to say, I'm very pleased. He's the cutest little guy ever! We'll keep the pictures coming. We are having our first family picture done next weekend and then he'll have his first birthday pics soon after. We are busy getting ready for the big day!

Looking at what the Easter Bunny brought

Today was Gaines first Easter. We had a lot of fun! We wish we lived close enough to spend Easter with both of our families, but we will see mine next weekend. We'll just have to celebrate again. The Easter Bunny came to see Gaines last night and he got some goodies at his Mimi and Paw Paw's too. He would still rather play with the packaging than the toys, but we had fun watching him get all of his presents! Here's some pics of his first Easter. Everyone pray for Gaines tomorrow. He's getting tubes put in his ears early in the morning. We'll keep everyone posted about how he does.

Gaines Crawling

Gaines is crawling now but it's not your typical crawl. Gaines doesn't always do things the way that's considered "normal" though! We call this his army crawl.
