Hunter's "Sweet" Sixteen at Noah's

I cannot believe that my baby Huntie is 16! He didn't want a party at all this time but I just knew he'd thank me later. So I involved Brandon his BFF and really Brandon let all of his friends know what the deal was......and no one told Hunter! So hunter didnt find out till we were almost there and boy was he mad. (I just think he doesn't feel like celebrating right now) But I knew with all his friends and family around it would make him happy!!!

  1. My sweet little Hunter who I love more than anything, who looks exactly like Spencer the more I look at him. He is smart, funny, and a smartass just like his dad, and also has that sweet smile and loveable personality. Happy Birthday Poopsie!

    It is so important for my kids to be surrrounded by family and friends, last Sunday Spencer's family also gave Hunt a party and I really appreciated it. It is so hard for the boys to express there feelings right now and I can just tell that they enjoy being with everyone and I think it also gives them and me comfort to be around his family. We are so grateful and happy to have such wonderful friends and family, thank you everyone for taking the time to come to Hunter's party-it meant alot to him! (on the way home he smiled and I pointed at him and yelled "you had a great time didnt you?".......he smiled again and said YES) hehehe, I knew it, I'm always right!

What's important to me



I decided to skip paying bills and just give my boys a much needed vacation. With Spencer passing away it has been really hard on them (and me) and I just think that everything else in life CAN wait! Spending precious time with my babies is what is really important to me now.



































I really am so lucky to have them, I feel like I never get to really listen to them-and 4 days in one room can easily make or break u! Just kidding-they made me laugh so hard and it was really nice to spend all this time just us, just really talking and enjoying each other and hanging out.




Its so weird for me to be talking to them and in the middle of our conversation one of them will say or do something that reminds me of Spencer-and then we'll share a funny story of something he did or said. Its funny but I have never had a better trip than this one and I have never felt closer as a family. I find myself being more lovey then normal--an extra hug here and there or one or two more "I love you" before bed. Or even during the day a hug or two from Hunter-just because.














































I love them so much!







































































































































Hunter was the only one who would be happy for the picture taking



























































































































































Hopefully these good memories will offset the bad ones for now





































When I see the two of them together it breaks my heart to know they won't see their father again.
