Handsome Hunter

My AMAZING little boy . . .
What is there to say?

He is the BIGgest helper.

I can ask him to do just about anything and he'll listen.

I'm the first to forget how old he is, and when he acts his age I get frustrated too quickly.

He has a HUGE heart! He loves everyone and everything around him.

Everything is his favorite in the whole wide world.
He's a Daddy's boy and hates, I mean doesn't like, to be away from Daddy.
(we can't say the word hate at our house.)

And then there's this side of him. . .

I love you!

I love everything about you!

Please be patient with me, I'm still learning.

Love,

Mommy

Playing Catch-up

I've been a serious slacker on the blog front and now I'm playing catch-up. I just posted two new posts and will try to keep posting so I finally get up to date. I'm using the dates of the event for the post so you may have to hunt to find things. I did December 9th, and 17th today.

6 Months!!

If you can believe it (I know I can't)

MCKINLEY is now 6 months old.

She has been the BEST baby.

NEVER cries. . .
Always looking around . . .


Look at that face . . . Have you ever seen a more beautiful baby?

Laughs only at Hunter . . .

Talks constantly. (I'm scared for our phone bill when she gets older)
I'm so lucky to be her mom!

Happy 6th month birthday princess!!

The Russ Family

This weekend we were able to spend it with our best friends as they celebrated TWO huge life events.

First their little girl Terra was baptized.

Then we spent that night at their house and played games and watched movies.

As we were making dinner Erik got the priveledge of watching BOTH babies.

The next day Jeremy blessed baby Carson. He did an amazing job and it was a wonderful blessing. I couldn't help myself when I saw this moment. I had to get the picture.

(Sorry that you look angry Amanda, I thought I had missed you)

We finally got a group shot!

Thanks for the AMAZING weekend. We miss living right by you guys.

Maybe someday we will again!

Merry Christmas!!

Snow much fun!

Hunter had a BLAST playing in the snow while we were in Utah!

First he played with Pa while he shoveled the driveway.

Granted, Hunter was having more fun throwing snowballs than shoveling.Then Dad took him out to play in the backyard.

It was freezing cold and after dark, but that didn't stop them.
Hunter loved making snow angels.

They tried to build a snowman, but the snow was too powdery.

5 Months!!!

Can you believe it?

There are only 5 more months until my brother gets home.

My dad made this cut out of my brother for a family picture and Hunter loved it!

I think I'm not the only one who's excited about it!!
