The Deployment Baby

Baby number 2 is on the way and due Jan. 21st 2011. So I guess this one is a deployment baby since his/her daddy is going to be in the middle east when he/she arrives? Lucky for baby number 2, that we have lots and lots of help and support in dallas! here's our first picture

Hunter's First Trip to Sea World San Antonio April 2010

Feeding the dolphins was so much fun

Hunter's favorite show to see had dolphins, beluga whales, synchronized swimmers, and high diving acrobats. He was fascinated!

Christmas 2009

Ryan got to come home from Virginia to spend Christmas with us.

Driving to Virginia

Hunter and I got to go visit Ryan at Fort Benning for a week, we had a blast. It was really nice to get to know a few of the people he'd been spending so much time with over the last 6 weeks. Now that Ryan's finished with his Basic Officer Leadership Course, it was on to his next school. Hunter and I drove with Ryan to Fort Lee, Virginia where he'll spend the next 3 and a half months. Here's some pictures of our time with Ryan.
It's naptime Daddy!
The Hotel didn't have a crib so Hunter spent the week sleeping in a tent.

Driving Ryan to his next post

On July 26th 2009, Ryan received his commission in the US Army Reserves as a 2nd Lieutenant and in October was sent to class to be trained in how to be a proper Lieutenant. Hunter and I got to drive with him all the way to Atlanta Georgia. We took a nice 3 day family trip out there and made a few stops on the way.
We saw where the battle of Vicksburg took place. Here's Hunter and Ryan on a canon.


Stopping to smell the flowers

Hunter's big boy bed

While Ryan was home we decided that Hunter might like a big boy bed instead of a crib to sleep in, so we went to IKEA and got him a new bed, which he loves by the way.

Spending Time with daddy

Ryan got pulled out of his IT class and brought back home temporarily and got to spend some quality time with Hunter and I.

Hunter really likes to read with daddy
