Hunter

Hunter is 6 weeks today. I can't believe how time flies! But then it's hard to remember life without him! He is such a sweet spirit! He is the toughest kid, he kinda has to be with his sister! But she loves him so much, and is getting better with dealing with a new brother sharing my attention. Hunter is so alert, and is sleeping like a champ, which is wonderful (I love my sleep!) I love him so much! Also I wanted to give props to my friend Nicole for taking these great pictures!

McKinlee

I just recently got these pictures of McKinlee and she is so goofy! The majority of the pictures are of her making silly faces. But that is McKinlee. She is constantly making me laugh. I can't believe some of the things that she comes up with. The other day she told me she wanted to get married in the temple right now....I don't want her to grow up that fast! I already can't believe that she turns 3 in December. She loves to try and make Hunter smile, and thinks it's disgusting when he spits up. She wants him to be able to play with her toys, and doesn't understand why he won't hold her cars when she tries to make him. She loves to learn, and can pick up on just about any song. Monday for family home evening we talked about Nephi, and she quickly picked up on the Nephi song, "I will go, I will do." I think we sang and listened to that song 50 times that night. She makes me smile, and I love her so much. She is "Mommy's sweetheart and Daddy's girl."

Happy Halloween!

It's so fun to be able to have kids and dress them up for Halloween! As much as McKinlee loves disney princess, she had to be Cinderella for Halloween. She looked so cute, and so grown up! Hunter is still so little, he was a little pumpkin, and looked very cute! We went to our ward Halloween party, and just because there aren't pictures fo Jordan and I, don't think that we didn't dress up! We dressed up as Chicago Bears fans (I know they aren't doing so well this year) But McKinlee had a blast with her friends and getting candy from the trunk or treat. She is so excited for the real Halloween so she can be a princess again! Oh and yes McKinlee looks like she is strangling Hunter in the picture above, she is having a hard time being soft. She is learning (hopefully!)

Isn't Hunter just too cute! He loves to have his hands up by his face when he is laying with his mom or dad, but when he is sleeping, he has to be bundled very tight in a blanket. If he's not bundled, his arms start to go crazy, and that wakes him up!

Hunter Jordan Hennefer

It has been a while since I've updated our blog, but it's been a little crazy around our house! On October 3 we were blessed to have a little boy Hunter Jordan Hennefer. He is the cutest thing as you can see. He has lots of dark hair, and weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He is such a good baby. OK, here's the story of the big day....

I went to the doctor for a check-up. I was only 38 weeks, and I had a few contractions the night before, but I wasn't expecting anything at the doctor. I even brought McKinlee with me. Well Dr. Gatherum checked me and said I was dialated almost to a 5, and he strongly recommended I take McKinlee to a baby sitter and head over to labor and delivery. Ya, I was pretty nervous, and the worst part was Jordan had to go out in the field an hour and a half away. That morning Jordan asked me if he should go out in the field, and I told him of course he should because nothing was going to happen today. WELL, I called his cell phone to let him know I was in labor, and he didn't answer. I called the secretary at the BLM, and she tried to get a hold of him on the CB radio, but he didn't answer. So I was pretty stressed out! Well after almost an hour, they got a hold of Jordan, and he headed home. We headed over to the hospital at about 11:00 am and at 6:30 pm Hunter was born. My delivery went very smoothly, I was in labor for about 7 hours-not bad! We are so blessed to have 2 healthy children, and we think they are pretty dang cute!

Fishing and Camping

We have had a lot of fun going camping and fishing so far this year. McKinlee loves getting dirty! She also loved playing with the worms that we used for fishing. She loved to put them on me to watch me squirm. Her daddy has taught her to play outdoors and to love animals, and not be afraid of practically anything. She is a very daring girl.

Cedar Breaks

We hiked up Cedar Breaks with some of our friends, and McKinlee actually did pretty well on the hike. I didn't think that she would make it very far, but she proved me wrong. I was the pregnant one that was struggling!
