Hunter at the Hospital (Awhile ago)

Okay so I am doing a whole bunch of posts again. We still have internet at home (which makes me happy) and makes it possible to do some posting. Having two kids and being back at work really takes up my time. I usually don't feel up to doing much come the evening so no one ever gets to see pictures. For the record I am being good about taking pictures of Hunter and Tucker even if you don't get to see them :)

So Hunter was really jaundice and had to go back into the hospital (the day that we were moving) and put under a mass array of blue lights. I was prepared to have hunter go under lights at home if his jaundice was a bad as Tucker's had been but having to go back to the hospital was a bit scary to me. Bryant came along to keep me company but was tired himself that he fell asleep.

More Pictures

So my sister Emilee took a bunch of pictures too. When she decided to use my lap top I told her she had to leave all her pictures on it so here is one more.

Hunter Is Here!!!!

Hunter Michael Whiting arrived Monday 6/29/09 at 5:54 am. He wieghed 9 lbs 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. He cam easy enough. Both he and I are doing great!! I can actually sit!!!! I only had 10 stitches this time (as oppossed to 23, several deep tissue with Tucker). Life is so good!! I know how much a lot of you have been dying for pictures so here are a bunch and a couple of videos. Enjoy!!

Tucker playing with the camera (He is just too cute not to include)

Hunter just a few minutes old. Doesn't he look a little like the old man from up?

Mommy (me) and Baby Hunter

Daddy and Baby Hunter

Hunter can already do tricks. He loves to stick his tounge out just like Tucker!

Tucker holding Hunter


He loves to hold Hunter for about 2 seconds and then pushes him away. As soon as you take Hunter back Tucker reaches out to hold him again. Only to hold him for 2 seconds before pushing him away again. It is cute. (I imagine it might get annoying after a few more days but for now Hunter and I both seem to have the patience for it).

My sister Emilee holding Hunter (The first extended family to see him. She is so proud of the fact).

This is Tucker playing with Hunter. He is still learning how to be gentle with the baby

Trip to Arizona

Tucker and I spent the weekend in Arizona. Boy did we have fun. It was Tucker's first time on an airplane. He loved moving the window shade up and down. While we were sitting in the terminal he looked out the window and kept saying "Oooo, wow, oooo, wow." It was so cute.

He was so tired by the time we landed that he fell asleep the second the wheels of the plane hit the ground and stayed asleep while we waited for our ride.

We spent the majority of out first day at a an old friends house. Tucker loved their sandbox to no end. I had to keep bringing him inside so he wouldn't over heat in the Arizona heat.

Friday was Justin's (one of my brother) graduation from high school. He tried to pretend it was no big deal but he was certainly proud of himself for his accomplishment and so are we.

Saturday was Natalies big day on stage as Oliver in Oliver Twist. She did an excellent job.

Natalie (who is 12) with Ian who is only seven (boy he sure is big)

Natalie with Tucker

At some point during our trip Tucker discovered that the trampoline is only fun if Natalie is on it with him. For some reason all of the neices and nephews have decided that jumping on the tramploine is only fun if Natalie goes with them. She is the go to girl for all the fun. Most of the time Natalie was out with Tucker he just wanted to run circles around her. but every now and then he would jump on her and attack her.

Tucker and I were both so excited to come home on Sunday and see Bryant. Tucker just ran around the house carrying his blanket around that he has decided is his favorite.One night before we left on our trip Bryant was putting Tucker to bed and covered him with a different blanket. Tucker was not too happy with the idea and so he kicked off the other blanket and tried to recover himself with the green one. It was cute. We took it with us to Arizona to help him sleep better there and I think it helped. Oh and the best thing about coming home on a Sunday is that Bryant was kissably smooth.

Mother's Day

This is a shout out to Bryant

Bryant is so wonderful. He has been asking me what I wanted for Mother's Day for the last month. Unfourtunately, the opportunity to purchase anything came before Mother's Day. He got me some more measuring cups (free thanks to his mother) and a pair of basketball shorts (practically free with a gift card we got for Kohls). So his "Mother's Day" gift to me was getting up with Tucker every time he woke up Saturday night without getting frustrated with Tucker (He had to get up at least 4 times and Tucker woke up a few other times but was able to get himeslf back to sleep). Then he woke up early and made me french toast. YUMMY!! Tucker must have realized it was my day to sleep in because when he woke up he went straight to the kitchen instead of my bed side. It was such a special day. Bryant is such a great husband and father. I really appreciate everything he does for me. I could not have asked for a better husband (thank you Debbie and Rex for teaching him so well)!!

Playing Cards

Many of you have heard about Tucker's card playing. It is really cute. I'm sure he will know how to shuffle and do the bridge any day now ;)

Spin Move

When Tucker is trying to help Bryant in the kitchen and is in the way Bryant does his "spin move" to get around Tucker. Now Tucker has started doing his own spin move to get around us. Last night he was just having a lot of fun spinning in circles and falling on the ground. It was so cute.
