Hunter's Birthday Party!

We had a lot of fun at Hunter's First Birthday Party. As you can tell, the party was a John Deere theme. Amy made Hunter a cake that looked like a cartoon tractor. It tasted just as good as it looked. Hunter got a lot of FUN toys. Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate.

Our First House

Jarad and I finally purchased a house. We are so excited to be homeowners. The house needs alot of work before we can move in but we are having fun fixing it up. The house has four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen with breakfast nook, formal living and dining room, family room, and a game room. It's about 2,700 square feet and sits on nearly an acre lot. We don't have enough furniture to furnish the whole house but eventually we will grow into it.

Hunter Lynn Hale

Hunter has been such a blessing to us. He's proof that when you start planning your life yourself, God steps in with his own plans. Hunter was unexpected but the best thing that has ever happened to Jarad and I, (and the grandparents don't mind him either). He is growing up so fast. Hunter likes to feed himself, suck on his toes and get into everything he's not supposed to get into, especially cabinets. His favorite toy right now is a bouncy ball he chases everywhere. He is trying to walk. He takes a few steps and falls. Pretty soon he will be running around everywhere. He is constantly extending his vocabulary. He says mama, dada, bye bye, and ball along with a bunch of jibberish. We love him so much and are excited to see what he is going to do next. We are looking forward to his first birthday in a few weeks, although we wish he wouldn't grow up so fast.
