Chubby....what?

I don't think Baylee is a chubby baby....do you? Ha Ha, she is too cute! I love this picture of Hunter, he constantly makes me smile!

Hunter and the Bink....

I had to post about this....have I ever mentioned that Hunter LOVES Bink, Blank, and Moose?? We'll I had a goal before Baylee was born to get rib of that stinkin bink. We were down to him just having it at nap and night time, but I was done with it! He got potty trained before the baby, moved into a bunk bed, why not rock his world a little bit more by taking away bink!! My friend had this posted on her blog, and I thought it was a great way to get rid of bink....

For about a week we had been talking up giving up bink. We told him about the bink people in the sky that REALLY wanted his bink, so we had to send the binks into the sky! So we did it, Hunter and I went to the store and bought a bouquet of balloons. We tied all 4 binks onto the strings (but that weighed it down, so I secretly threw 3 of them away) and went outside. Hunter was SO excited, he let the balloons go, and kept yelling by binks!! He missed bink a little that night, but was a champ after that! Why didn't I do this sooner? So I am sorry if you ended up with a bouquet of popped balloons with a binky tied on the end in your back yard!

I know its about time that I post pictures of this!! This is the PLAYSET that McKinlee won by singing on 97.1 ZHT! The kids absolutely love it! And we have lots of new friends that love to come and play on it, which I LOVE because they entertain my kiddos! I was so impressed with the professionalism and kindness from both 97.1 ZHT and backyard adventures. Backyard adventures delivered the playset to our house, and set it up! How nice is that! So I give major props to both 97.1 ZHT and Backyard Adventures! Thank you for all of you who voted! All are welcome to come and play! We love visitors!

16 months and....

Hunter at 16 months.......

And still not walking. The only time he would walk is when he'd play basketball with Daddy (and Daddy sure loved that!) But.....

Hunter at 16 1/2 months and......

FINALLY WALKING! I've learned that both of my kids have their very own personality, and are bound and determined to do things on their own time, and when they want. But I love 'em! Hunter has the sweetest personality and loves to snuggle, and is very tender hearted. He loves his moose (thanks Kelly), and his blanket. I am so proud that he is FINALLY walking! Now I feel better about him playing outside, and not ruining his pants while crawling, and getting SO dirty! Way to go buddy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER!

My sweet little baby is ONE YEAR OLD! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by! I remember one year ago going to the doctor just for a check-up, 2 weeks before my due date, and my doctor asking me if I wanted to have this baby TODAY! McKinlee was with me, and Jordan was working out in the field, 2 hours away. Luckily Jordan's office reached him on the CB radio, and told him to come in immediately! And my sweet mom dropped everything and headed down to watch McKinlee. At 6:00 that night, Hunter was born. He had LOTS of BLACK hair, which you can see sure has changed!

He sure has brought a lot of joy and happiness into our lives! He is such a sweetheart, and SO good! I think Heavenly Father knew that I needed a calm child! I have a feeling once he figures out how to walk, he won't be so calm, and he and his sister will get into a lot of trouble. We had a fun day, Hunter loved his presents, especially the baseball set. McKinlee was more excited about the basketball hoop than he was, he can't quite reach it yet.

McKinlee loved opening the presents, Hunter wasn't sure what was going on

He loves the noises this thing makes!

We might have to teach him how to use the bat!

Loves it

So Cute!

Of course we had to do the whole cake thing, I thought I would be creative and make a football cake, that turned out pretty well, the baseball didn't! Oh well, Hunter liked it all the same!

The cakes

After we sang to him, we tried to get him to blow out the candle, but he didn't get it until Kinlee blew it out, then he started to blow...so we lit the candle again!

He was a mess! It took him a while to get into it, he actually ate the ice cream first, and I think he got a brain freeze, because he didn't eat the cake for a while.

I'm not sure why we do this tradition, Jordan reminded me that we had to clean him up! But he sure looked cute!

Happy Birthday Hunter, we love you!

I finally did it!

So due to the little "comb over" Hunter had, I finally broke down and cut his hair. My neighbor was so kind to cut it and then we took pictures of the whole thing. Hunter had a hard time holding his head still, he is too interested in what is going on around him. Here are the before pictures, I know he REALLY needed this haircut!

Here are the pictures during the haircut, I figured its his first real haircut, so we have to take lots of pictures!

And here are the results! He looks like a little boy, not a baby! But he's pretty stinkin cute!
