It's been a while since our last post, so here is a photographic update of our summer.  We've done some fun things with the kids and we all had a great summer!  We also added a few new pets to the family.  Enjoy!

                                                                        They loved it!

                                                           These tigers were awesome!

                                                             And so were the elephants!

There is a lot happening in our family without too much commotion or activity...a lot is happening none the less. Kayla is pregnant!  She is 8 weeks along and we just had our first ultrasound.  The baby looked healthy and had strong heart beat.  We are very excited to be adding on to our family.  Life is great!

Kiley's Birthday Party

Today was Kiley's Birthday party and it was amazing!  I have to say I am so impressed with how my wife is able to put events like this together.  She continues to amaze me every day!  The whole set-up was just great.  There was a long table with chairs around it in the fashion of the Mad Hatter tea party.  We had cardboard cut outs that we painted of the characters from the movie.  There were trees and flowers and signs pointing "this way" and "that way", and the cake....well the cake was just awesome.  Kayla spent a lot of time baking, and designing this cake and it turned out amazing.  Kiley had so much fun with all of her cousins over playing and she got lots of fun presents too!  It was so nice to see her so happy and having so much fun...I loved it.  So the party was great and it will be a great memory for years to come.

This is our first post in our new family blog.  We are the Hunsakers/Grants.  We are Zach Hunsaker, Kayla Hunsaker, Jordan Grant, and Kiley Grant.  We are a family that just loves to be together and this is a blog dedicated to sharing our experiences as a family unit.  Okay, now that the formal introduction is out of the way, let's get started!

The girls, Jordan and Kiley spent the weekend at their dad's house and we got them back today, so we were happy about that.  It's always nice to get them back after they've been gone for a couple of days, because we really start to miss them.  Yesterday Kayla and I went to Stake Conference and were able to see Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles speak.  It was a really spiritually edifying experience for the both of us.  Jordan turned 8 in January and was just baptized on February 26.  That was so great for her and for our family; we were very happy and so proud of her for making that important decision.  Kiley's 4th Birthday is March 12, so we are in the process of planning and preparing for her party that will be this Saturday, the 10th.  It's going to be a Mad Hatter Tea Party, so it should be a lot of fun!  At the moment Kayla is making practice cakes for the party, while I will be finishing painting cardboard cutouts of "Alice in Wonderland" characters for wall decorations, that I started last night.  Kayla has collected all kinds of cool stuff to put together for the party, such as different sized tea cups and plates that she hot-glued together to make Mad Hatter style treat platters.  She put together some really cool invitations too.  Pictures of this stuff will be included so everyone can see how awesome and creative my wife is :) 

Kiley is being cute as usual today, playing polly pockets, and just doing what she does best, being a 3 year old! Jordan is at school and will be home in a couple of hours.  So life is good today at the Hunsaker household.  We are all happy and healthy and loving life!  Until next time...
