Hunter's favorite football player is Brett Favre. He loves him. Many times when I ask him to get me something. He will run, grab, and throw it at me. All while saying, "Brett Favre."

I read my wife's stories about my son Hunter and he is ONE FUNNY KID! It made me instantly think of one of the funniest things I've ever heard him say or at least, one of the funniest things that he said to his Grandma Debbie. This happened a little while ago, probably back in June of 2008, and during this time Hunter had learned some new words. After some coaching, he quickly learned that we don't say those words. He learned it so well that he apparently became the teacher. This story has two parts. It started one afternoon that Hunter was being watched by his Grandma. His Grandma Debbie was cleaning the house and and must have dropped something and she mumbled the word 'stupid'. Hunter immediately put one hand on his hip and with his other hand he pointed his finger at Grandma and said, "No Grandma! That is a bad word and we don't say 'stupid', we are not suppose to say 'damn' or 'shut-up' too".
Hearing this story was hilarious, but it got even funnier. The following week Hunter was once again at his Grandma's house, but this day Hunter was being a little stinker. After a fun day at Grandma's house it was time to clean up the toys. Grandma asked Hunter to clean up the toys and Hunter wasn't listening very well, so she this time she told him, "Hunter, pick up the toys". Hunter then started saying one of our bad words, as if he was testing Grandma, "shhhhhhhuuuuuuttttt". He only got through the first half of the word, when his Grandma interrupted him and said "Hunter, don't you say it!" Then instantly Hunter replied with some real attitude. He sort of puffed up his chest and lifted his chin and said, "Grandma, I can say whatever I want too. I can say 'stupid' and 'damn' too.
Another funny thing I remember that Hunter said too me was back in the summer time. Hunter was having one of those days that he asks about 50 questions in a one minute timeframe, so I decided to turn it around on him. I started asking simple questions and following it up his answers with 'Why'.
For example, "Hunter, how old are you?"
"I am 4."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because Why?"
This went on for about a minute with other random questions thrown in there.
Finally, Hunter had enough. He started walking up the stairs and I asked him one final question, "Where are you going?" "Daddy, I'm going upstairs. I need a break from you."
Kids really do say the funniest things and they are soooo much fun! I recommend that everyone should at least have 1 or 2 of them, if not more!

Funny Kid Stories
These are some funny kids stories that I have written down, since I started my blog. Hopefully they make you laugh as much as they make me laugh.
I recently got a new hoodie that had zipper heads at the end of the hoods pull strings. When I move around, they sound like bells. Hunter and I were walking to the mail box today, and he heard my shirt. He stopped and said in a quiet voice: "I think Santa Clause is watching us."
9/20/08
Hunter was in a hurry for me to get him some gummies. I told him, "Hunter, just hold your horses." He said, "I can't! They are wild horses, and they run around everywhere. I can't catch them!"
10/13/08
Hunter was having a sleepover with his cousins at Grandma Debbie's house. In the middle of the night Hunter was coughing, so Grandma Debbie went and got him a drink. He sat up and took a drink, then said, "I love sleepovers!" Then he went right back to sleep.
10/17/08
We were at church, and we were singing the last song of the Sacrament Meeting. Hunter turned to me and asked, "Mama, is it half time?"
10/26/08
When we took Hunter and Houston trick or treating, Hunter was being a very good big brother. He would ring the doorbell, say "trick or treat", get his piece of candy, and then immediately say, "Don't forget my brother!" Every time he would say it so worriedly. It was so cute!
10/31/08
Hunter has been sick for a while. He has had a really bad ear ache. We got some drops from the doctor, to put in his ear, when he was in pain. Hunter absolutely hates the drops. He says that they are cold going into his ear. Almost always he cries, or screams, when I am putting the drops in his ear. Today we were out and about, and Hunter was saying that his ear hurt. So I told him that when we got home I would put drops in his ear. He started to cry saying he didn't want drops. He said that they were too boring! I told him that I had to put them in his ear because the doctor had told me to do so. Also, that crying wouldn't make anything better. He stooped crying almost immediately, then said with a slight tremble in his voice, "Okay Mama! I'm going to be a man. I'm not going to cry when I get drops in my ear." I had the hardest time not laughing. I have no idea where he even got that idea!
11/06/08
Hunter does not want to grow up. He doesn't want to be a teenager or a grown up. Today asked me if I could skip the grown up numbers, so that he can always be a kid. I tell him, that nobody can skip getting older, it just happens to everyone. He told me that he would just go back to the kid numbers. I asked him why he absolutely did not want to grow up. He said that he likes to play all day. Also that his Grandma says that she likes him as a little kid. I asked him what grandma said that, and he said all of them.
11/17/08
I was teaching Hunter the months of the years song the other day. He actually pick it up quickly, but with one small problem, he called it the Months of the Ear. I explained to him that it was the Months of the Y-Y-ear. Telling him that their was a Y at the beginning of the word.
I thought that he understood, and had him tell me the name of the song once again.
He said "Months of the Ear."
I said, "Hunter it's Year."
He looked at me and said, "Near?"
"No Hunter, Year."
"Here?"
"NO YEAR!"
At this point he started laughing at his joke he was playing on me. Still to be funny, he will call the song, "Months of the Ear."

Stop and Think
This month for girls night, we went and saw a movie called Defiance. The movie is based on a true story, and takes place during WWII. It is about a group of Jews who escape to the forest to hide from the German soldiers. Many of the people who escaped to the forest, have lost everything. Not just their homes, and possessions, but their entire family.
Regardless of all the hardships that they went through, they never gave up. Even when it looked completely hopeless, they decided to fight, and to keep trying.
After the movie, we were all in a very pensive mood. This is a world, where every day you turn on the news, and it's bad news. The economy is so bad, and everything is only going to get worst. After that movie, all my problems seemed extremely trivial. I just had to stop and appreciate everything that I have.
I have a wonderful husband, who really is my best friend. I have two amazing little boys, who make me laugh everyday. I get to stay at home, and raise my boys. I have great friends and family, who are always there for me when I need them. I have shelter, and food to eat. I am a really lucky girl.

Mexico
This year for Christmas, Keith and Debbie took all of their kids (and spouses) to Cancun Mexico. We make quite a good looking group.
Jeff just cliff jumped into this beautiful water
If your thinking that we all look like drowned rats, then your right. This is the night that we got caught in a flash flood. It had been sunny all day, we then went inside and got ready for dinner. Tonight were were going to a restaurant that the concierge recommended. When we walked out of the hotel, it was raining, but not that bad, so we decided to head out.We went to the bus stop, and didn't have to wait long for a bus. As it started to rain harder, we were comfortable and dry in the bus.
We got off at the stop that we were told to. Well it didn't take us long to figure out, that we were given poor directions. It rained harder and harder. We were completely drenched. Well after being in the rain for a while, trying to find this restaurant, and not finding it, it became our mission to find it.
Finally after asking countless people, and zig zagging through the streets of downtown Cancun, we found our restaurant. I was extremely happy that they decided to let us in. As soon as we were seated (in the back of the restaurant) I went to the bathroom, and wrung out my clothes. After that we had an enjoyable evening.
Jeff is doing his best Bay Watch impression.
This is Mindy, Me, Siomara, Debbie, and Brooke, at the market.

We had a great time in Cancun! Thank you Keith and Debbie for taking us with you!!Happy New Year 2009
Happy New Years!!
We had a great New Years. We went to our friends house for some Rock Band, and games. Hunter and Houston had fun playing with the other kids. Unfortunately we had to leave slightly before midnight, so we were driving when it became the new year.
Good thing that with kids, you don't have to celebrate exactly at the right time. We pulled out our hats, and noise makers when we got home. The boys loved it, and we had fun.

Christmas morning is my absolute favorite part of Christmas. This year Jeff and I woke the boys up. Hunter was a little confused when we first woke him up, but as soon as we mentioned that Santa had been to our house, he jumped out of bed, and was ready for the day.
Houston was just as happy as ever. This was his first Christmas, so he really didn't know what to expect.
Jeff still looking sleepy, but doing a good job with the camera.
Hunter first wanted to open the present he had been eyeing under the tree, for the past two weeks. It was really big, and it was for all three boys. He told me that he really wanted it to be a super big transformer.
I don't think he was disappointed when he found out it was a fire sled. I think that picture says it all.
We have some very happy boys. Houston really likes his new hat. I think Jeff likes it even more.
Hunter with his favorite hat.
This is what Santa brought Houston. He loves it! He walks all over the house now. It won't be long until he won't need the lion anymore.

With that all said, I am sooo freaking glad that Christmas comes only once a year.
Christmas Eve
It's been a really long time since I added anything to my blog, so I'm trying to make up for it now. Christmas Eve was a blast. We went to the regular Christmas parties, and enjoyed all of our families.
My favorite part of Christmas Eve, was our own family tradition. Every year after all the parties are done, and we are home for the night, we start our own small party. It begins with the boys opening a present.

Of course they open the present to find brand new pajamas. Some kids might not like getting clothes for a present, but Hunter is always excited for any present. As soon as he saw what was in the box he shouted, "No, Way!!"After the boys found their new pajamas, we then open a family present. Every year on Christmas Eve, we buy a new game. Jeff and I take turns picking out the game. This year it was: Sorry. We then make hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows, and play the game together. It's a lot more fun now, that Hunter can really play with us.
After the game, we then put out cookies for Santa, and carrots for all the reindeer. Hunter told me that Santa's favorite cookies were Oreo Cakesters.
