Welcome Home Ron! :)
Ryan's brother, Ron [and his family: Christina and their two children Gavin(4) and Abby (2)] are finally back in the states after his third tour in Iraq.
He got back the 10th with his family, so Ryan and I headed home Wednesday night at 11:30pm to go see the family for weekend. We arrived at my MIL at 2:00am and when I tried to put Hunter in his pack n' play to go back to sleep, he wasn't having it! he just cried and cried. Normally I would have let him cry for a few minutes and go to sleep but since Gavin and Abby were asleep I didn't want him to wake them up. I ended up holding him most the night. Ryan stayed up with me because he couldn't sleep either. Hunter finally fell asleep on the floor at about 5:00am so I laid him in his pack 'n play so I could go to sleep. Three hours later he was awake and ready for breakfast.
Despite little sleep for all of us, Thursday we spent relaxing and having a good time catching up with the family. Friday Ron and Christina went to visit other family in the area, so Ryan and I had a nice relaxing day watching t.v and playing with Hunter.
Every night was spent playing games like Euchre and Apples to Apples,
Ryan and I won two out of three hands of Euchre :) I'm getting better! lol.
Saturday my MIL threw a party for Ron and the fam. just a time for extended family and friends to come and spend some time with Ron and Christina and the kids. there was a ton of food. she made a turkey, a ham, a goose, and potatoes, yams, corn, rolls to go with it. but the best part was the cheese ball appetizers. One of the three they made was a chocolate chip flavor mix that you make with cream cheese. It had mini chocolate chips in it and they bought graham cracker sticks to eat it with. It was like a cheesecake, which is my favorite dessert ever! :-P
Sunday Ryan and I headed for home. Thankfully the roads were clear (unlike the last time we came back to the arbor after a weekend home). It was really nice to be able to go "home" and see the family, but it is always nice to be come back to our home. Especially since my MIL keeps her house at 80 degrees!
The other best part of the weekend is that school is officially done for the semester so I didn't have to try to do homework while spending time with the family. :D I got to just RELAX for once!!!!
that is all for now, more to come... ...

Thanksgiving...plus a little updating
I know that this is a little late, but hey, we all get busy!
Ryan worked on thanksgiving day so I went with my Mom and Grandma to my Aunt and Uncle's house for dinner. Food was good and it was good to see family, but the best part was watching Hunter play with Kaelee, (my aunt and uncles daughter) and their dog, Frankie.
Frankie is a husky with one brown eye and one blue eye, the most beautiful dog in the world!
Hunter LOVES animals and even tried to give Frankie a kiss, (I wish I had that on camera, a priceless moment!) mostly Frankie was the one giving out kisses :)
Black Friday we headed up to Ryan's parent's houses. It was nice to get away for the weekend and spend time with them. We had a great weekend and are both looking forward to going back in a few weeks to see his brother (Ron) (and his brother's family) who is back from Iraq! You can imagine how excited Ryan is, he has seen his brother two or three times the last three years for a day or two at a time. This is going to sound really really cliche, but I think Ron coming home in time for Christmas is the best thing anyone in his family could get this year.
I have all of four more days of classes for the semester! (with the exception of my online class which ends the 21st) I am so excited to be done with school! The best part is that I only have one real final to take. :D (Yay!) I am really looking forward to relaxing over January and just spending time with the kids.
I guess that is all for now. I hope all of you had a wonderful thanksgiving!

First Haircut! :D
Hunter got his first haircut this weekend. He was pretty tired when we got to the Barber's but I'm sure he would have reacted the same no matter what. He was okay just sitting in the chair and once Paul the Barber put the cape on him he got a little antsy not being able to move his arms around.
Once the hair clippers were turned on and coming toward his head he freaked out and just cried the entire time!
poor little guy. I think the noise scared him, plus he did not like us holding him down. But we had to so that he wouldn't jerk his head and get cut from the scissors.
The Barber saved a lock of his baby hair and gave us certificate for his first haircut. We also got a tee shirt for him the says "I got my first haircut from Paul the Barber."
He went from starting to look kinda girly to a handsome little man! :D I love the way it turned out!
enjoy the pictures. I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend :)

First Steps!
Hunter has FINALLY started to walk! yeah! He took his first steps last week (i think it was the 14th?) It was so cute! When he walks his arms are bent with his hands by his chest to help steady himself. as soon as i can find the USB cord to connect our camcorder to the computer there will be some video. :)
p.s. it took us forever to get video of him walking because he would do it so sporadically, lol. he walks a little bit more every day (with lots of encouragement) but he knows that he can get farther faster by crawling.
video to come soon!

More Hats...!?!?
Something I never thought possible, I have found even more Hats for Hunter. I got in his closet last week to start getting out more winter clothes and see what we would need for him this winter and I found three more hats! Which he LOVES of course! So here is an update to last months "Hats" post. :D
I know these are all the same hat, the second one is the same type of hat, just all blue. and the third one is completely different. I haven't gotten a picture of him in it yet, so soon this post will be updated, I just didn't want to wait. lol.

Independence!
Hunter has become quite the little independent man. (no this post is not about the elections...that will come later...)
today he put his coat on all by himself. for no apparent reason other than he found it on the floor and so he put it on. :) so cute!
the best part is that although he was able to get it on all by himself, he was not successful at getting it on right side up! Yes, he put his coat on upside down so that the hood was hanging by his butt. lol. (this also caused the coat to be folded over at the top, his jacket is lined in red and the outside is plaid)
