Happy Birthday Hunter!!!


Hunter turned one on Sunday, Feb. 28th. We had a really fun Elmo birthday party on Saturday for him. Before we left for Utah, Hunter got a preview of his gifts at home when he woke up to a white board where he can play with magnets all day long!! He was very happy!
The cake was a little intimidating at first. First a finger, then a fist....but he got over that soon enough....
Face first is always better than using your hands!!
Once face first isn't enough - you've got to use the arms too!

Everyone got into the fun!!!

Hunter even took time to read his birthday card....

He decided to tackle his Elmo pillow. I think he will like wrestling when he is older.
Hunter got a Lil Quad !
He was a natural and was zooming around everywhere...but the funny part is that he acts like he's been doing this his whole life. No expression....he just - goes. You can tell he likes it but I think he's trying to be "cool" about it!
Here was a special gift for Hunter - a box of Dylan!!!
Brooks and Noah are so cute and great cousins to Hunter!


Mema got an Elmo pinata. Boy was it fun! Everyone got at least two turns and then the "big" boys got to finish it off!
Uncle Seth was trying to save the Elmo pinata....

Gary wants to mount the Elmo head on Hunter's wall as his first kill.....we'll see about that!

Some of the pinata fun.

Here is Hunter digging into his birthday cake. It was so funny to watch, but I have never seen such a big mess! I guess that is why it is only on the first birthday that they get to do this!!


Here is Hunter on his Little 4-wheeler...

  6. SO fun! My kids have never done the full face dive. I'm a little jealous! Although, you are braver than I am, I always strip them naked so they don't get it into their clothes! And I LOVE the four wheeler! So cool . . . :)
