The Rearden Family: Fun Weekend

Since the addition of Caleb 2 months ago, Hunter has been feeling a little left out lately. He is having a little bit of a hard time sharing the spotlight - so we decided to have Grandpa watch Caleb friday night and we took Hunter along with Aunt Amanda, Ava, and Mackenzie to the Pirate and Princess Pajama Party at Barnes and Noble (for those of you who do not know Hunter - he is convinced he is a pirate and greets most people with an "ARGH MATEY!"). The kids had a great time playing. Then we had Nana watch Caleb Saturday night and we took Hunter to a Cubs game with our friends Tony and Melinda and their 3 kids. All of the kids had a blast! Jon caught a ball for Hunter and he had it signed by "Cubby" the mascot - who Hunter continuously called Kobe - and they ate hotdogs, drank coke, and cheered on our team. Jon and Hunter capped off the weekend with one of their favorite things - a watergun fight! Hunter had a special weekend and got a lot of undivided attention! Enjoy the pics!

During story time Hunter decided he didn't want to sit with the rest of the kids but he wanted to stand on the stage and get as close to the pictures as possible - this kids is not shy at all!

Hunter and Jon outside of the Cubs stadium - excited for the game!

Hunter brought his glove and ball and kept asking if he could play with the boys on the field - to which we responded "when you get bigger" to which he responded "i am bigger" - hmmmm - no use trying to explain that one to him!
