Hunter's Tag

Hunter is one of a kind! He was my first child for so many different reasons. Ten things about him are:

{1} He loves all sports, but particularly baseball. He has played for 5 years. His positions are 1st base, pitcher and catcher, catcher being his favorite. They did so well this year winning 2nd place in their pee-wee division! He ended up hitting 3 home runs this season, one being a GraNd SlaM!

{2} This winter, he thought it was great fun to slide off the roof into the snow. The one time I decided to buck up & face the weather to watch him, he had a bit of an accident. That was the last time he did that. (Make sure the sound is on so you can hear him hollar!)

This scrape was through his snow pants and levis, which surprisingly didn't get a hole in either one.

{3} He loves the mud. So many times have I found him out in the mud over his span of 10 years. And now, he drags Gage in there with him. It always ends up with him stripping down to his skivvies (is that even a word?) in the yard and me hosing him off before I even let him into the shower. I have so many of these muddy pictures that it was hard to choose from.

{4} He loves fishing. Okay, I really think that he loves the time with his Dad more than the actual fishing, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with loving either one. I don't have a picture of him fishing because it's the "guy's time" and I don't go.

{5} His first ride at the fair was CraZy! He talked Steve into going on it with him. Needless to say, Hunter stomached it much better than Steve.

{6} He has PROMISED that I can still hug and kiss him, even when he's 17.

{7} He totally rocks at Guitar Hero!

{8} He HATES Stripe. The little mean creature from the 80's movie "Gremlins."

{9} He still has accidents. Just kidding. This was a picture from a Scout Pack Meeting involving a lot of water activities. He really likes Scouts and has earned all of his ranks. (To date) He started going with his Grandma Susan, Miss Scout America, when he was about 6. I swore he was going to be the first 7 year old Eagle Scout.

{10} He is an AweSoMe big brother. He lives up to that title in every way, meaning...he is always there to help when needed yet always there to egg things on. I call him the "silent fighter," which means that he knows if he is quiet in his tauntings, then I will only hear the younger brother and/or sister yell back. That's how he tries to get them in trouble. Sorry buddy, I've figured it out...

I love you! You're awesome!
