Cincinnati or Guatemala?

Don't worry Vicki or Launa...we aren't moving to Guatemala...just thought it would be fun for a title! The biggest news is that GE Aircraft Engines offered Aaron a job for after he graduates. That is the same company that he co-oped with the past couple of years. We'll see if any other offers come from other companies. Aaron flew to Indiana yesterday and will be flying to Texas next week for interviews with a couple different companies. Besides that he is doing a great job at keeping up with his school work...don't know how he does it! Olivia has been teething (that's my guess anyway) the past couple of days and so every sad incident is magnified 100x with whining. She's still a great kid though and we can still have lots of fun! She had her first trip to Chuck E. Cheese's on Saturday with some friends from North Georgia. She had the absolute best time. Her favorite was going down the slide all by herself. Our family also carved a pumpkin on Monday for FHE. I decided on a less spooky pattern (compared to last year's pumpkin) for Olivia's sake. She enjoyed getting her hands goopy in the pumpkin. The first pictures are from my dad in Utah. Shad (my brother), Brandon (my cousin) and my dad look like they had a good time on the deer hunt this past week. Good luck and shoot straight. Some home made jerky sounds great!
Oops! ONE more thing. This is a tester...it's supposed to be the link to watch a video clip. Please let us know if it works for you. Link (click on it): Video Test!

Now I understand why they say that Utah is a desert.

Shad and Brandon.

Nice pose Brando.

Beautiful scenery again in Utah!

Forgot the camera for the Chuck E. Cheese's experience. Luckily they had rides that took pictures for me.

I obviously couldn't figure out when it was going to take the picture.

Olivia and her friend, Dalton.

Not getting her hands messy yet.

She finally got down and dirty with a little help from Daddy.

Olivia picked the seeds out one by one.

I could hardly get the pumpkin cleaned out because Olivia had her hands in it all the time.

She really enjoyed it to say the least. Oh, she nearly needed a bath afterwards also.

Here is the finished product.

Check out her earrings.

Ta da!

Happy Halloween from the Lunt Family! We love you all!

In a tent, down by the river...

We were able to go camping this past weekend with the Lunt family. We camped just off the Etowah river. It was a pretty good spot because we were able to spread out (our tents) and even had flushing toilets that we could walk to (I don't care for the alternative:). A few people even took a swim in the river (mostly trying to fish out the frisbee, footballs and baseball). In was just nice to get away for a few days and leave work, bills, cell phones, homework, etc. behind. There are lots of pictures to show how much the kids enjoyed being around each other!


Olivia loves Shellee's shoes. I can hardly believe she can walk in these near four inch heals.


Olivia also loves to display her beads and then count them.


Here we are to the camping pics... Savannah striking a pose with Livy Lou.


Braden and Olivia loved running into the tents.


And yet another pose of Savannah and Olivia.


Here's Braden's pose.


Olivia's festive Halloween outfit.


Still SO cute with such a close up shot.


Braden climbing trees (with Papa's help).


So high Braden.


Now they all want a turn to sit high.


Somebody's been in the river...


It's not that great of fishing when all the kids are throwing rocks next to the fisherman.


Daddy teaching Olivia how to throw rocks in the river...Braden already has it figured out (of course, he's a boy!)


Savannah took a tumble with mud splashing on her face.


This footstool was called many different things, but it's really mud! Grammy and Bella striking a pose.


Bella eating ice cream (yes, it was a cold thing to do while camping).


Braden opted for a healthier treat...apples.


I know this is a blurry picture, but it is still a fun one.


Diana, Braden and Olivia.


Another buddy finally showed up for Olivia.


Maddy kicking it in her camping chair. I thought Olivia's eyes looked pretty cool in this picture.


Olivia the happy camper.


All three toddler cousins.


Cheril and Justin.


Mornings were freezing. Olivia snuggling with Daddy.


Maddy and Olivia...just kickin' it.


Madison, Olivia and Braden again.


Enjoying each others company.


I love this picture of Jason and Diana's kids. Braden, Savannah and Bella.


Jason even went in the river shoes and all to save a football. Here he is trying to dry off and keep warm by the fire.


Vicki sportin' her new shades.

Just posting the pictures from this week...it was an okay one.
Aaron got his truck fixed and his two interviews went good. He will also be flying to Cincinnati tomorrow to meet with people from GE.
Shellee finished her first week at her new job. She seems to like it and is keeping busy with life in general.
I am keeping busy with the normal house things, sewing and trying to finish this darn Harry Potter book. I'll be getting ready for a camping trip that we have planned this next weekend. It will be Olivia's first time camping and so it should make for some great pictures.
Olivia...well...there are pictures that speak for themselves. She can now say 'chocolate' and knows where it is in the kitchen:)


Brandon (my cousin) took this picture of the fall colors in Utah.

My dad helping Brandon with his Eagle Scout project.


Olivia loving chocolate.

Yummy, Yummy!

I found Olivia one night hangin' with Shellee in her bed.


Aaron giving blood at the blood drive at our Church on Saturday!

Shellee gave blood too!


Myself giving blood! I filled up my blood bag faster than Aaron!


Madison -- they don't come much cuter than this!

Bella showing me her art work.

Braden stuffed three or four carrots in his mouth and later topped it off with a pacifier. It was so funny.

Ready, set, go!!!
