I Am Grateful For Hunter Brian...

Hunter Brian is our oldest son and I am so grateful for him.  I have loved him from the moment I found out I was pregnant with him.  I had some quirky complications with my pregnancy with him but when he was born, I thought he was so beautiful.  He had no marrings on his face or any birth trauma.  And he just looked and looked around the room looking at me, Brian, Grampy, Grammy, Aunt Allyson and Uncle Jared.  He is so incredibly smart and never has been able to sit still.  Hunter has to be doing something constantly. He gets bored really easy so I have always tried to make sure he has some sort of outlet.  Hunter is his own person and is so comfortable in his own skin.  He has the philosophy of "This is me... take it or leave it" and people flock to him.  Hunter has his own way of doing things and always asks us to hear him out before we make a decision.  Brian is much better at that than I am but I am trying.  He always uses a diplomatic and rational way of thinking which always has impressed me.  He is so funny and has a great sense of humor as well as timing.  He gets that from his dad. 
Hunter has a deep love for his brothers.  People often comment how special they think our boys' bond is and that started with Hunter watching over Hayden and now Bryson as well.  There are countless stories about Hunter protecting, helping and looking out for his brothers.  Their bond is very special. Hunter has a deep love for the Savior and a strong testimony of the gospel.  Very often, I will see him in his room reading his scriptures or saying his prayers and I am humbled to be his mom.  He loves his YM leaders and their willingness to magnify their callings.  He is truly an example of those around him especially to his brothers and his cousins.  I feel incredibly blessed for the opportunity that I have to be his mom and thank Heavenly Father everyday for him.  I love you Hunter (Huntey)!
