So, I haven't taken the time to post for a while, so I thought I'd share what we've been up to lately. Over Spring Break, we went down to Millard County and enjoyed some time with our families. While there, we also had the annual branding session. It was really fun to see everyone. My family even came over for a little while to join in on the fun. Hunter rode the horse with Maben a couple times, and he seemed to really enjoy it. It was really his first experience with being outside for an extended period of time, and he loved it! Overall, it was a great Spring Break.
Easter was also fun for our little family. We stayed in Logan and enjoyed our time together. On Saturday, we had a picnic in our little backyard and took a walk together. Sunday we enjoyed church and then went to Kyle and Cherish Tuttle's for dinner. It ended up being a wonderful day and a great opportunity to reflect on the life, Atonement, and Resurrection of the Savior.

Here are a bunch of pictures from the different occasions! Enjoy!

Like Father, Like Son

Hunter absolutely adores his Dad. (I can't say I blame him, I kinda like him too.) As soon as Maben walks through the door when he gets home, Hunter's full attention is devoted to him. He loves to spend time with Maben, and he loves when Maben gives him attention. This morning while we were eating breakfast, Hunter was sitting in his bouncer seat. I watched him as he played with the toys, and every so often, I would see him look over at Maben just to see if he was watching him. He likes to help Maben do his homework or really anything. He also loves to try on his dad's hats. He loves to have a hat on because he knows that's what Daddy does. So, we decided to buy Hunter his very own hat so that he could be just like his Dad.

My First Blog Post

So, I have attempted to get this blog started several times, but it has just never happened. Today, I am finally taking the plunge, thanks to some encouragement from my dear, sweet, cousin Kaylie. I think part of my problem in the past is that I have always wanted to start blogging where Maben and I started, but it was taking too much time and effort, so I am going to start with today. (Well, actually, last night, because nothing exciting has happened yet today.)

Yesterday, our little man turned five months! I can't even believe it. It seems like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. He is so much fun, and he adds so much joy to our lives. He is constantly learning, and last night he amazed us with a new skill- he can roll from his back to his tummy! Anyway, in honor of Hunter's five month birthday, I thought I would post some recent pictures of him.

This is not the prettiest picture of me, but it was really cute of Hunter. He doesn't like to smile for the camera, so it had to be shared.


Hunter loves to play with his feet, and most of the time they end up in his mouth.




Hunter has also made a friend named Ethan since we've been in Logan.



Hunter loves to help Dad with homework.


He also loves to be sitting up looking around.


Hunter doesn't love to play on his tummy, but he is getting better at it.


Hunter also loves his Grandpa! (Well, all his family, of course.)


Cereal...YUM!!!


And last but not least, Happy Birthday to Maben on the 21st!
