Today was our first Christmas in our new house and Hunter's first Christmas! And what a day it was! First, we woke up before Hunter, and found him all curled up in the corner of his crib, still asleep, at 9:00 am, so of course we got him up! Hunter made out like a thief. His pile of stuff was easily 10 times bigger than mine and Brett's combined! But that's ok. We had fun spoiling him, and my parents sure did too. Santa brought Hunter a walker, and he LOVES the thing. Just wish we had more room for him to get around in it. But he still had fun. I think he was in awe that he was moving forward and back without Momma or Daddy holding him up. After we opened presents we cleaned, cooked, and had Brett's dad, 2 of his brothers, his sister-in-law and her little boy, and his aunt, uncle and cousin over for dinner, and as usual when Uncle Paul is around, it was a blast! Tomorrow we are headed to Orangeville to see Grandma and Grandpa-Great and the rest of my side of the family. Pretty excited for that. Brett loves getting together with my uncles and ganging up on me! But I will suffer if it makes him happy. I'm so grateful that he loves my fmaily and that they all love him!
Before I end this, I just want to reflect on the true reason for Christmas. One night in Bethlehem, a child was born. But not just any child. A King and a Savior. My Redeemer, Jesus Christ. On Christmas Day we celebrate His birth and His life. I am so grateful to Him and to my Heavenly Father for all that has been done for me and my family. I am thankful for His sacrifice and His love for me. I see that love everyday in everything he blesses me with, especially in my little boy. I don't know what I did to be so luck as to have one of His special children bless my home with his presence.

Hello All
This is the first installment in our Family Blog. I guess a good start would be a little family history?
Brett was born and raised in Price, Utah and has 3 younger brothers. I (Kortnee) was born in Price and raised in Illionis, Calinfornia, and Texas and moved back to Price in 2006. Brett and I met at the Taco Time in Price in April of 2007, started dating in July, became engaged in December and married July 12, 2008. We have lived in Helper, Utah ever since and we love it. Our son, Hunter (who is squirming around in my lap and making it difficult to type) was born May 11, 2010 and is now almost 4 months old and is such a happy baby. He making such leaps and bounds in his growth and we love him very much.
Brett works for a company called Energy Solutions on a project down by Moab, Utah. He really enjoys what he does (drives haul trucks, among other things). He works nights and has for a year now. It's hard, especially with Hunter sometimes, and there are definitely days when I wish he could go day shift so we could spend our evenings together as a family, but I try my best not to complain and just stay busy. Not sure how well I am doing at that...
I just quit work after only having been back from Maternity leave for maybe a month. But we decided that even though things will be tight, we can make it work and it is more important for me to be home with Hunter. Sometimes I miss the adult interaction but I wouldn't trade my time with my son for the world.
Hunter is almost 4 months old and can already push himself across the floor on his belly and just tried cereal the other day. He is getting so big! And now I think I smell a stinky diaper so I had better go take care of that.
