 happy 17th hunter!
one of the things we gave hunter was a bag full of treats with little sayings.
we put it on the front seat of his car, so he would find it on his way to school.
some of the cute sayings were:
DUOS-emma loves that you and her make a pretty sweet duo!
Powerade-we love that you honor the "power" of the priesthood that you hold!
Wavy potato chips-we love that you don't cause "waves" in our family and just go with the flow!
Beef Jerky-thanks for not being a "jerky" big brother or teenager!
Snickers-issy loves your "snickering" laugh.
Smartees-we all love your "smartee" brain!
Lifesaver-you're a "life saver" when you play with will.
Extra gum-mom loves that you're "extra" helpful around the house and in our family.
Good and Plenty-we love that you're "plenty "good" at technology to help us when we need it.
Snow Caps-we love that you like to ski on the "snowy caps" of the mountains.
Oreo PopTarts-we love how your fingers "pop" over the black and white keys!
Giver movie-we love your willingness to "give" time to learning and living the Gospel.
pistachios-mom loves that you get "crackin" in the morning without her
having to wake you up.
mint candies-we love that you keep your mouth"minty" fresh and hygenic!

some of them we were really thinking outside the box!
anyway it was fun to work with the girls on the sayings. 

celebrated hunter's bday by going to dinner at red robin.

william and emma love their big brother!

issy loves hunter too!!

we've been keeping our eyes open for a grand piano and we found one just
in time for hunter's bday!  so fun!  we are really enjoying it!

i made some chocolate sandwich cookies with chocolate chip mint frosting. hunter
pretty much loves anything chocolate and mint! 

so glad you're in our family hunter!  we love you and appreciate you so much! 

we had last thursday off school, because all the teachers
in the tri-cities were on strike.  so i took william and his friends the
pratt boys, to the park.  they made friends with another boy and
they all had a great time having me push them around on the tire swing.

we went to the library after school one day, and  of course we had
to walk through the garden area, so we had to take pictures in the
children's garden.

enjoying some backyard bbq after church.  bree joins us about every other sunday and
this past sunday she invited her friend hope to come to church too.  love these silly
kids!

family kickball on memorial day!  we enjoyed our time at the mills, with the platts,
the lewis's and the webbs. 

cootie tootie paislee.  such a happy baby.  she barely makes a peep!
she only cried when emma held her....

waiting for his turn to kick the ball!
