Hunter's 3rd Birthday

Eric even tried the toys out.

We had a wonderful family party to celebrate Hunter's 3rd birthday. With my mom and dad here for the week we did it on the 18th so they could be here instead of waiting til his real birthday on the 26th. He got lots of fun gifts and after opening each one he thanked the person who gave it to him. We have had a fun week playing with all his new toys and reading his new books.

Boy

We are so lucky to be having another BOY. Hunter will have a brother, buddy and best friend. The sonogram showed he was very healthy and right on track for growth. So now it's name deciding. That's the hard part.

Bike Across California

We went out to the desert for 2 days to follow /watch some of our family on their biking track across California. They rode about 40+ miles a day. They rode from the Colorado river near Yuma, AZ to the Pacific Ocean in Carlsbad, Ca. It was so fun camping out in the desert, you can see so many stars. It's nice and warm during the day but it sure got cold at night. We are proud of them and all their hard work and feel lucky we got to be with them a few days of their track.

New favorite

(Look at his form...professional)

We went with our friends Leland, Christina and Uncle Matt, Mini golfing. Hunter played so well he even got a hole in one. He would make his first shot and then run and get the ball and start over again and then would hit it in the hole. His favorite holes were the ones that go into the castle and come out in a different area. He thought that was amazing! He is such a good athlete. So now each day I'm asked "Can we go golfing today".

Christmas 08

He just loves Tank so much. Tank is the best dog in the whole world he let's Hunter do what ever he wants, even ride him like a horse.

Cousin's Ryan and Abby. We love them!!

Santa brought Hunter a Buzz Lightyear for Christmas and he just loves it. He even sleeps with him. Which is not so comfy to roll on top of in the middle of the night.

Making our first Gingerbread house together. Hunter applied most of the candy and eat a lot too.

Snow

Eric and Hunter built a snowman with a cave in the bottom. It took Eric about 6 hours to complete and the finished product was taller then him. Inside the cave Eric could sit up and Hunter could stand up. I watched it all while inside the warm house. Hunter loved the snow. He had a blast sledding. His favorite part was being with his cousins, Aunts & Uncles.
A few days after we got home to California I asked Hunter what he wanted to do that day and he said "let's go sledding!"

Hunter making a snow angel. Eric taught him how and then each day he went out he did it several times, it was hillarous to watch him.

Packing the snow to help make the snowman.

The sledding hill was right across the street from Grandma's & Grandma's house at the Murray park.

Balboa Park

We had a wonderful family outing to Balboa Park in San Diego. It started with watching one of the Young Men in our ward compete in the San Diego County cross country meet, which was super exciting and he took 9th out of 150. Then we got Hunter's scooter out and he rode all over the sidewalks and around the BIG water fountain he had a blast. The best part was walking through the gardens. Hunter was in awe with all the beautiful plants. He was so careful with looking and smelly. You can tell by the picture above with his hands folded how careful he was being. It was so fun to watch him learn about Heavenly Fathers beautiful creations.
