You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

My 9 Year Old Baby....What?

4/18/11 - Hunter turned 9 years old! We started our day off at the dentist to get some flouride put on his teeth - they let him wear the birthday hat and sang to him. We made it home before he had to catch the bus for school and he opened presents too!
His gifts consisted of fishing equipment, a Colts Cap & Jersey, a BSU Broncos cap, a CD Player ( he loves listening to the dramatized Old Testament cd's - as did I growing up), some $, beef jerky, a digital watch that glows and is waterproof!, and new scout gear for being a Bear now!





We had a super cute cake for him - but Dallin found it and tried it out
before we got to eat it....so I put some soccer stuff on top to try to hide the fact that his named had been mawled by his 2 year old brother. He came home from school and we had pizza (his request) and fancy rootbeer! He wasn't feeling well so, we didn't do cake until Tuesday afternoon. He came home from school early b/c he had thrown up. :( poor kid.



All in all- I think he had a good day! He's sure a cutie! Here are a few things about Hunter @9:

*He loves to play soccer
*He loves to play football in the front yard with his friends
*If he could live in the water, he would - he loves to swim
*He loves to snuggle with his dad (sometimes me too, but mostly Travis)
*He could watch football with Travis all day
*He is kind to everyone and everyone loves him
*He gets 100% on almost every spelling test
*He does a great job on his chores (when he decides to do them)
*He likes to be the reader when we have family scriptures every night
*He has great manners
*He loves to play- it's his #1 thing to do as soon as he's home from anything (school, practice,etc.)
*He's just a really good boy!

My 9 year old is the same as a lot of Hunters things. Too bad we live so far. I think they would get a long great!

WHAT????? Stop the growing! Stop the aging! Stop the partying! Just stop!! okay, carry on if you must- What a big kid he's getting to be! I somehow had his birthday wrong on my calander (well, to be fair, my kids did the calander this month) What a lame aunt I am! So I have to ask, the Colts, is that b/c mom and dad are in IN? He's so sweet! You're raising some great boys (and a great girl) but I sure hope others are out there doing such a great job, so that my girls can meet up with them someday... in the far, FAR, distant future!! Love you Hunter! Happy birthday from your family in CA!!!
