~12~Hunter's big day!





Hunter turned "12" on May 27th.  He didn't ask for anything special, or unattainable to celebrate his big day.  He just wanted to go out for breakfast, hit the pool, have a family friend, Tyler, over and ride his bike to the pool. 

It was the first day the outside pool had opened up.  It was NOT warm enough, but the Littles all jumped in and tried to enjoy it nonetheless.  It didn't last too long before they all ended up going in to the indoor heated pool to play.  It was such a fun day and we sure LOVE this guy!  He had these amazingly huge brown eyes with these super long thick eyelashes that are always smiling.  He is always ready to greet or give you a smile and a hug.  What a guy Hunter is and becoming.   

Hunter got a new bike for his birthday as well as Lego's and a Nexus 7.  So far, he's taking his bike out several times and has really only used the Nexus 7 for reading a great new book. 




Hunter opted for a mountain of donuts instead of a cake...bonus for mom...hehehe.



We headed out for breakfast to Mimi's Café (yum yum) and he ended his meal off with a huge piece of hot brownie topped with ice cream and whipped cream.  Not a bad way to start off your big day!




The most important part of turning "12" is that's the age a young man in our church receives the Aaronic Priesthood.  He was interviewed and found worthy by our Bishop and ordained today by his wonderful Dad.  He was thrilled to graduate out of the Primary as well and to move into the Priesthood portion of the church meetings as a Deacon.  It was a very full day of smiles and hugs and blessings all around.  We love you Hunter Bear!
