Hunts Get Hitched

Bedford and Katie got married this past weekend. It was a wonderful weekend--full of fun with family and friends and a beautiful, sweet ceremony. I must say Sidney Kate did exceptionally well being away from home and as busy as we were. And she was a mighty pretty flowergirl. I only took a handful of pictures but I'll let them do the talking...

Bridesmaid's lunch/cooking lesson at Viking. It was sooooo good.

Quick family photo between the rehearsal and our delicious catfish dinner!

Sidney Kate (~25 mos) and her cousin Bryleigh (~22 mos) had a grand time running around chasing each other.

Out best attempt at a family photo.

(I cropped the kiddos out when I printed them out, just don't have those saved).

More fun with her cousin!

Quick snack between pictures and the ceremony.

Daddy-daughter dancing.

Coloring in style

While hanging out at Nonnie's, she called Aunt Katie up.

Downtown Dash 5K at the 5 Star City Festival. Bailey was supposed to have run this race too but pulled his hamstring in church softball about a week before. Time of 29:50 (9:37/mi).

The very next morning I ran the Tupelo Gum Tree 10K. (Bailey was supposed to run but couldn't. Actually, he and a buddy of his were supposed to "race" one another, but didn't get to happen.) We weren't really sure if they were going to actually have this race since it was only about a month after the tornado came through Tupelo. I was so glad they continued with it. Words can't describe the experience of running through the area that was torn apart.

I finished in 1:01:36 (9:48/mile). I would have loved to have finished under an hour but was quite pleased with the time considering this was the furthest I'd actually RUN since the half. After the race, we went and bought my Mother's Day gift (some Chaco's!), went to lunch and then headed home only to get ready and go to Reise's first birthday party. 

Bath time fun

Bailey was gone one night for Bedford's bachelor party so SK and her baby slept with me. (She NEVER sleeps with us).

Brushing her teeth, in the living room, on the windowsill.

We went to watch cousin Olivia graduate.

Throwing a two-year old tantrum because we had to leave the play area of the store.

We attempted some fishing on Memorial Day weekend.

Breakfast at the donut shop in our pajamas on the first day of summer.

A new "fun" thing is taking off our clothes. But then she didn't want her picture made.

Playing with mama and daddy's cups, along with her baby's.

-Sidney still loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse but also has a growing fascination with some of the princesses (particularly Elsa/Anna and Ariel); she's also likes Sofia the First

-She still sucks the first two fingers on her left hand but we really only allow it when she's tired or going to sleep.

-Her vocabulary continues to grow and grow...way too many words to begin to list or even think of.

-She often requests to "dance." (She wants us to turn on some music so she can dance).

-Sidney loves to work the few puzzles she has over and over.

-One of Sidney's favorite snacks is Cheerios and raisins.

-She does not love to brush her teeth. She will start and then when we attempt to help finish, she screams bloody murder.

-She does not particularly like wearing shoes. It's practically a game to see how fast she can get them off after you put them on. 

-One of Sidney's favorite things to eat for breakfast is toast with a little jelly on it. Another favorite food is steak--she LOVES it.

-She loves all five of our families' dogs but is not too crazy about new dogs or animals she's unfamiliar with.
