Chase is Potty Trained!! Wahoo!

My little Chaser man is completely out of diapers! Just one week shy of his 2nd Birthday!! I am soooooo proud of him (and myself). He was much harder than Colton (potty training is the only thing that was ever easy with him) but 3 weeks of hard work was totally worth it!! Now I will have a few months free from diaper duty until the girl arrives, yay!!

Happy Blogging!

COLTON RILEY HUNTER

So, it just occured to me that I never did a blog about Colton's 5th Birthday! I totally skipped it, so here it is almost 3 months late!! On January 30th my biggest baby (and I mean that on a number of levels) turned 5, I can't believe it, he is so big, today we registered him for Kindergarden, CRAZY!! He is not even a toddler anymore, he's like a young man, so handsome. Where did the time go? I don't know.... but he will always be my baby!

Now remember he is half Riley so he gets an entire birthday week and like 3 parties... We did a few family get togethers and Bouncin Off The Walls as usual for all of his friends, but this year I remembered my camera, it just had a dead battery when we got there. HELLO!

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pictures over the years of the Doh Boy......

Disneyland, Legoland & The Beach 2009!

Ok, so last month we went to California for our annual family trip! We had so much fun! Colton was just as excited as last year to meet Mickey Mouse and go on all the rides and this year Chaser was almost 2 and way more into it! I took him on Buzz Lightyear about 47 times while Shawn and Colton were on the big rides. Disneyland was magical as always and instead of Sea World this year we did Legoland and it was actually pretty cool, they had huge lego dinosaurs, Chase was excited to say the least! The beach was SUPER SANDY, but that is to be expected, I just hate the sand! I'd rather be on a boat, you know me. So I took about 150 pictures to make up for what was lost from last year and it was really hard to narrow it down! Of course I'm always taking the pictures so I'm only in like 2 of them! So sad you won't be seeing my beautiful face (I'm way too Pregnant for pictures anyway!!)! Enjoy!

EASTER

Happy Easter! So we went to my Grandma's farm on Sunday for the annual hunt and it was super exciting as always. The kids found tonz of fun stuff; candy, bubbles, balls, battons, play doh & of course eggs. Chase found a Dinosaur Egg that you put in water and after a few days it hatches and then after a few more days it grows big, he is freaking out about it!! Colton found about 8 play doh's, but not much candy which is fine with me. And Cadence just walked around being adorable!! I just wanted to share some cute pictures with you all!!

Cadence & Chase (So cute!)

Wicked!

Good Morning! So we went and saw Wicked last night at the Capital Theatre, finally!!!! We've been waiting 3 years for it to finally come to Salt Lake. Let me tell you that if you get a chance to see this, SEE IT!! My mom has been a season ticket holder since I was a teenager, so I have seen just about every big Broadway play in the last 14 years. I've seen some good, some bad, some OK, and a few great ones! This one was the most amazing thing I've ever seen!! It made me laugh, cry and I never got board. It was soooooo AMAZING!! I just wanted to tell you guys that if you can see it, don't hesitate! I am going to try to get tickets to one more show this week, I have to see it again!! I will never look at The Wizard of Oz the same again! I LOVED IT!!

Happy Blogging!!

Happier Times

Kim Hunter... Husband, Father, Grandfather

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your kind words and flowers over the past week. Last Monday I posted a blog about my father in law and less than 24 hours later he passed away. It was good for him he was in such bad shape but so hard for the ones he had to leave behind, especially my mother in law. So thanks again to all of you for everything! Here is his obituary.........

Kim M. Hunter "How lucky are we to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" Our Husband, Father and Grandfather left us on March 31, 2009 after a tough battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Kim was born October 19, 1949, he grew up in Murray and on April 11, 1969 he married the girl next door, his childhood sweetheart, Connie Deshler. Kim served in the US Army during the Vietnam War. After returning home he and Connie started their family, they had two boys, Christopher and Shawn. Kim loved coaching their baseball teams, boating, camping and hunting with his family. Old cars were a must! In 2004 he and Connie welcomed their first grandson to the world and over the next few years they were blessed with two more grandsons. He loved playing cars and trucks with them, everything they did was funny to him. His first granddaughter is due to arrive this summer and she will also be named after him, he would have loved spoiling her! His dogs also had a very soft place in his heart, they certainly were loved, we know they will miss him! Kim was a great father and husband. He had a great laugh and loved telling old stories. His daughter-in-law once quoted him as saying "I can't remember a minute in my life when I didn't love Connie." What a guy!! Kim is survived by his devoted wife Connie, son Chris, his wife Jen and their son Preston. Also son Shawn, his wife Jamie and their sons Colton and Chase (and soon to arrive Cimberly). He is preceded in death by his Mother, Jeanne Clark Hunter. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Alzheimers Assoc., 800-272-3900 or the Utah Humane Society, 801-261-2919 ex.208. Private family services will be held. Online condolences: www.broomheadfuneralhome.com
