Happy 1st Birthday Hunter!!!!

Happy Birthday to my amazing little man!!! Hunter turned 1 yr. old today and it is crazy to believe that a year ago today, he was put into my arms for the first time! It is so sad to think how fast it all went!

We had Hunter's 1st birthday party today. It turned out amazing!!! Hunter had such a good time! He wasn't too interested in opening his presents as he was in the balloons. Thanks to everyone who came to his party and helped us celebrate our son's big day!

Jeremy made his Mickey Mouse birthday cake. It turned out so good!! Once again, he outdid his self! I made Hunter's little cake. It wasn't so great however, but Hunter liked it and that's all that matters. You can see in the pictures just how much he liked it! Again, thanks so much for helping us celebrate his big day for those who came! Enjoy the pictures below for those who couldn't make it.

Here are Hunter's 1 yr. Pictures! Enjoy! My little man is so darn handsome! He makes us so proud!!!

Dianne's Shower

We had my friend Dianne Hancock's baby shower on Saturday. Jeremy baked her cake. We did a candy theme since she calls her baby the "sugar baby". She was on IV's her whole first half of her pregnancy, so that's where the name came from. She is due on March 17th...3 days before I was due with Hunter last year. She's having a boy, but still no name.

As for Mr. Hunter... we took his 1 year pictures and family pictures yesterday. Hopefully we will get them back next week. I will post them when we do... Here are some updated pictures of him. He is such a big cheese! He walks everywhere and he's getting really good at it. He now has 4 teeth and likes to eat anything you give him. We can't believe only 26 more days until he's 1!

Hunter

I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to update. This is a really scattered post.

Hunter is getting so big and independent! He has started walking now. It's crazy just how quick it happened. He started walking a little bit on Thursday and now he doesn't want to do anything but walk.

I can't believe that he is almost 1 year old! This last year seems to have flown by so quick! He weighs 21lbs now. So much for the little 6lb 6oz baby born last Feb. It's hard to believe that he used to wear preemie clothes.

He has had a lot of ear infections lately and so the doctor decided it would be best to put tubes in his ears. He did GREAT! As you can see in the pictures below, he was in a very good mood waiting to go back to surgery. We were a little anxious since it is a surgery and he had to be put under, but it was definitely something that needed to be done. He came out of surgery crying and cried the whole way home. I rocked him to sleep and when he woke up, he acted like nothing had ever happened. We hope that this helps him a ton!

We went last night and got his hair cut for the first time. We were going to wait until his 1st birthday, but he was getting a mullet and I can't have that! He did GREAT with it though. I was scared he would scream with the trimmer, but he didn't even flinch. He looks so cute now with his spiked hair...not that he wasn't cute before. The girl in the picture with him is Trisha. We made her take a picture with him since she gave him his 1st haircut.

That's about all that's been going on with us. We have been super busy with work. Hopefully the snow will melt soon and Jeremy will start to get weekends off again. I have some random pictures below also that I have been meaning to post but no time.

He is such a big cheese!

Hunter took a nose dive off of his babysitters stairs...he just had a little scuffed nose.

He is such a happy little boy!

Trisha cut his hair for the 1st time.

Calm, Cool, and Collected

He didn't mind it a bit.

Almost done.

See my pretty hospital gown.

New Years Eve

For New Year's Eve, we were invited over to Joelle and Trenton's for dinner. Joelle cooked hot dogs and we had apple crisp and peach cobbler. Jeremy and Trenton played the Wii (big kids) and Joelle and I hung out with the kids. Hunter like Dallin's hair, so we have to watch him...LOL. I think it is because he doesn't have much himself! We had fun, but we aren't the big party animals we used to be... We went home by 9:30 and were in bed by 10:00. It's a little sad, but Jeremy had to work today and I was super exhausted from moving furniture around the lst couple days. We took a couple pictures with my new camera Jeremy bought me for Christmas.



Update on Pat, Kim, and the kids... They left on Monday to move back to Louisiana. They had a long trip, especially with the U-Haul pulling the trailer and bad weather through Texas area. They made it there safely on Wednesday. Pat starts his new job on Tuesday and Brock starts his new "old" school on Monday.

Jeremy, Hunter, & Trenton


He is too darn cute for words! I love him so much!

I thought Jeremy was bad to get to take pictures! Try getting this little boy to sit still for a family picture. Needless to say, I love my boys and our little family!

My boys... you can see they are so much alike. They are making the same face watching TV...lol.

Hunter's 1st Christmas

Christmas was so much more fun this year with Hunter here! He surprised me and did really good opening his presents. Jeremy had to work on Christmas so he woke up at 3am or so because he wanted to be home early to open presents with Hunter. We opened presents and all I can say is that Hunter is super spoiled! He got a Mickey Mouse ball pit (as you can see in the pictures below), a V-Smile Baby, clothes, a baby laptop, a rocking Mickey Mouse, and other toys and books. His favorite thing is the ball pit though, he absolutely loves crawling in and out of it. We need to buy more ball because it only came with 20 and it doesn't even fill the bottom up! I have a video posted of his first time in his ball pit.

He loves his ball pit!

He even watches TV in it.
