It's A Girl!!!

On May 11, 2011 Jackie had sweet little Stella!  She is such a cute little bug, and we are so excited for Ben and Jackie.  Here are a couple pics from the hospital,  I need to take a picture of Stella Bella on my camera so I can put it on here.  Hunter is pretty good with her, and doesn't seem to mind sharing the attention (most of the time)!

Eye Surgery, and Greatly Needed Vacation!

  Hunter had his eye surgery on the 8th, things went great, he was able to go home that afternoon.  He didn't even really cry that much, and he handled the pain really well.  He is such a tough little man.  Immediatley after having the surgery, he started looking at things like he had never seen them before!  He was amazed with everything, and still is. He started touching peoples faces, and focusing on things a lot more.  Three days after having the surgery he started rolling from his back to his belly!  He is doing so great, we are so thrilled!  The doctor says he may have to have at least one more surgery in about 6 months to a year, to keep his eyes facing forward. 

About 5 days after surgery, his eyes were still really red.

  We also went on a long overdue vacation this month.  We went to Las Vegas, and St. George over Easter weekend. In Vegas we stayed at the Silverton, we went to Hoover Dam, the Bass Pro Shops, the Bellagio, and went swimming.  Then in St. George, we stayed with family and hung out with Jareds brother and his family, it was a lot of fun.  It was so nice to get away and spend time as a family!  Hunter did great on the car ride, and played peek a boo the whole way down!
