Hunter on a Plane!

We flew to New Mexico for Christmas this year. In Hunter's 18 months of life he has flown three times already. The first time was when I flew to my friend Aimee's wedding when Hunter was 6 months old. I held him in the bjorn through the airport and he did great on the plan cuddling me and nursing during take off and landing. The second time was just a few days before his first birthday. All three of us flew to San Antonio, Texas to attend a family reunion. This time the three of us flew to Lubbock, Texas where my mom picked us up and took us the rest of the way to New Mexico.
Every time we prepare to fly, I get stressed out that it is going to be hard to keep Hunter happy, or that it will hurt his ears, or that I won't be able to carry everything through the airport. But every time Hunter has done wonderful. This was by far the best, though. We flew southwest and ended up having three seats to ourselves the whole flight there, even though technically Hunter was supposed to be on one of our laps. I guess the flight wasn't completely full, and who wants to be the poor soul forced to sit in the aisle with an 18 month old? So, yay for us, we had more room than we thought.

Our flight took off at 6 a.m. so that meant we had to wake Hunter up at 4 a.m. Check out his sleepy eyes:Our flight back we had the third seat for most of the trip, but not all of it.

Vacation

We have had a CRAZY couple of weeks since the Spring semester ended...

As soon as Josh finished his last final, we all jumped in the car and drove North to the Wisconsin Dells. Josh's family all gathered to enjoy time together and to celebrate Alyce's graduation from her Master's program. We ate wonderful food, went to a winery, took a boat ride down the Wisconsin River, ate at a Cajun Restaurant and at an Irish Pub. We had a wonderful time hanging out with everyone. We were able to celebrate Hunter's 1st birthday with all the family, too. It was a great time.

We came home in time for Josh to get his hours in the maintenance department. Then we were off again!

We took a flight South to San Antonio to meet my family and celebrate lots of family events. My brother just graduated from his Master's Program and my cousin just became a nurse. Both of them are engaged, so we celebrated the newest family members. We were able to celebrate Hunter's birthday with all of them, too! Then I got to wake up and have birthday breakfast with everyone including chocolate cake & homemade ice cream!!! It was a great trip that also included boat rides, a trip to a winery with all the ladies, and a nice float down the Guadalupe!

We got back and Josh had to go to his drill duty. Then today, the summer session started.

We are so thankful we were able to see family and celebrate Hunter's birthday with everyone. Though we are exhausted, the memories were wonderful!
