Our Family

Yesterday we took this picture for our "Christmas" card. It's a little late and will say "Happy New Year", but we've been a little busy. Tessa is growing like a weed. She is such a good little girl. Jordyn is getting used to the idea of having a sister around. She is such a big helper. Whenever Tessa cries Jordyn brings her one of her own blankets...because they make her feel better when she is crying so why wouldn't they help Tessa too?!?! Jason is busy with work and school. Tax season has officially begun and I hate it. I'm really hoping that April 15th comes quickly. So, if anybody wants to hang out with me, just give me a call. :) I get pretty bored at home by myself all the time.

More Pictures!

The other day when I wanted to add the pictures of the baby my computer was being dumb! So, here we are...10 days later. I can't believe what a good baby Tessa is. And, even though her face says other wise, Jordyn is a great big sister.

This pictures is when Jordyn got to see baby Tessa for the first time.

One happy family...

Tessa Marie Hunter

Monday morning we arrived at the hospital bright and early. By 5:45 we were ready to go and just waiting for our turn. We were lucky to be the first scheduled C-Section of the day so we didn't have to wait long. I was really nervous because I had such a terrible time when Jordyn was born, but things went really well. Tessa was born at 6:53. The first thing I heard the doctor say was, "WOW! She has a huge head. Of course in my mind I was thinking pumpkin head and toothpick body.... Then Jason told me that she had a TON of hair, and boy does she. She weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches long. I was expecting another little baby. Jordyn was only 6 lbs. 11 oz. so Tessa was a lot bigger. So far she has been a great baby. She is a little backwards with daytime and nighttime, but most babies are. Jordyn is adjusting a lot better than we thought she would. She loves her sister and is very protective. She doesn't like anybody to hold the baby except for Mom and Dad. Jason and I are so blessed to have two beautiful, healthy daughters. We know that we're pretty lucky and are enjoying every minute!

The Time is Here

Well, we had a great Christmas. We spent lots of time with our families and we were so excited to see the Santa made it to our house. Jordyn was lots of fun opening her gifts and playing with her new toys. Tomorrow morning is the big day for the new baby. We are excited to welcome Tessa to our family. The hospital called us today and let us know that we need to be there at 5:15 in the morning. YIKES! We'll post pictures as soon as we can. Hopefully you all had a Merry Christmas and that your New Year's will be fun!

Christmas Is Coming

Well, it's only a few days away now. I'm so excited! I love Christmas time. Jason and I are really spending way to much money, but having so much fun doing it. Jordyn loves the Christmas lights, trees, and any nativity where she can touch the baby Jesus.

This is Jordyn's Christmas dress. I was so excited to get it on her and do her hair. This picture was taken before Church. One hour later we were bringing her home to change her. Jordyn had jumped and ripped the batting underneath. I was SO sad! We took the dress back to the store and ended up with a new dress that is pink and white. I decided that I took pictures of the "Christmas Dress" so she didn't really need another one.

These last two pictures are from our ward "Breakfast With Santa". Jordyn DOES NOT like Santa very much. We couldn't even get a pictures with him. She did however love her french toast and running around the church.

So, as for our Christmas plans, tomorrow we have our first family Christmas party. We are going to Lake Shore for the Johnson Party. Tuesday night is the Hunter Party. Christmas Eve will probably be the Halladay Party and then Christmas Day is the Tenney Party. I really hope that Jordyn is a happy girl. She hasn't felt very well these last few days...I'm pretty sure she's getting some new teeth. Poor Kid!

Jason and I wish all of you a Merry Christmas. We'll being posting pictures of the new baby when she gets her.

Mommy's Little Girl

Hey Everybody! Things have been a little busy around the Hunter house the last few weeks. We don't have the Internet anymore so getting the blog up-to-date is really hard to do. Jordyn is growing so big and is so much fun. I can't wait for Christmas this year just to see how she likes it. I have a few new stories to tell you about. The other day after taking a shower I was in my room getting dressed. I thought that Jordyn was watching a movie and when I went to check on her I was DEAD wrong. She had gone into the bathroom and found my make-up bag on the counter. She unzipped it and dumped out everything. She was able to open the two NEW bottles of mascara and BOY DID SHE HAVE FUN! I tried hard to teach her that was a "No No" but she was just covered and it was pretty funny.

A few weeks ago I took Jordyn to get her hair trimmed. I was tired of her bangs always hanging in her eyes. Well, Jason decided that she now looks like a boy so he decided he wanted her ears pieced. She was such a good girl. She sat super still and didn't even cry. Plus, she loved the sucker she got when she was all done.

Sometimes I just can't believe how big she is getting or how fast she is growing. She amazes me everyday. She loves to say prayers at night and before each meal. She loves to play with her baby dolls. She is learning colors and numbers, even though she can't say them yet. I'm so lucky she's mine!

We're also getting excited for our new little baby. So far the plan is a repeat C-Section on December 29th. I'm excited to see how Jordyn does with a new little sister.

Trick or Treet!

Halloween was so much fun this year. Jason dressed up like a cowboy and Jordyn was his horse. I was going to be a pig, but just didn't have the courage...so I went with the bunny ears instead.

In the morning we stopped at Lehi Junior High to visit Grandma Sue Sue and the lunch ladies. They all thought Jordyn was so cute! The girl's P.E. class was doing a dance thing in the lunchroom and Jordyn loved watching them. She was even dancing a long. Silly girl!

For lunch we went to Jason's work party. They had Chile and soup, tons of bread, and lots of yummy desserts. Jordyn went to each person's desk to trick or treat. She would walk in and then hold out her hand for some candy. After that she would wave and then head to the next office.

In the afternoon we stopped at the hospital to visit Great Grandpa Halladay. He loved Jordyn's costume and she was waving and blowing him kisses.

For our night time fun we went to a neighborhood party. It was raining a little...so I was a major party-pooper. I just don't like being wet and cold, but Jordyn had a great time. She was just walking around eating food and watching all the other kids in their costumes.

The last stop for the night was at my Mom and Dad's house. We ate pizza with them and Julie and Jesse. it was a great day. Jordyn was so tired that night that she slept until 9:30 on Saturday morning.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
