Dear Hunter and Brit....you left a lot of broken hearts behind when you left today! YaYa is the saddest of all so be sure to call her often and tell her that you love her. It's a pretty weepy time when we Mom's have to put our loved ones on airplanes. At least with Homeland Security we can do our crying in the car as they won't let us in the airports anymore. I used to make a spectical of myself and have to stand in a remote corner of the airport or in the ladies room until my red eyes went away. And I'm pretty sure that's what happened to YaYa today too. Have a wonderful time with all your family in California and hurry "home" to Savannah to get everything ready for Greg's homecoming. We love you all so very much and thank you again for coming by to spend time with us before you left. You both are peaches! Mimi/Gigimimi - Hi everyone, Well, the day I have been dreading finally came and I had to take Brit and Hunter to the airport and say goodbye. It was not fun at all. I had to go many places after I said goodbye so I wouldn't have to come home to such an empty house. PeePaw left last night for Mexico so I am all alone. I went everywhere I could before I came home so I wouldn't have to see it so empty and quiet, but I am here now and you guys aren't and I am very sad. I had to put Hunter's toys away so I don't get any sadder. But, we had such a wonderful time with the two of you and everyone in your family was so happy to get to know you. You have two wonderful, huge families and are very lucky. I know everyone will have a wonderful time in California for the second round. Hunter, you can show them all of the new things you have learned-amazing!! I already miss you both so much and really will in the morning when I don't see that little smiling face. Have a great time with your other family and remember we want to see videos and read stories all the time. Greg, we enjoyed Hunter so much (Brit too). When you get home you all had better come see us too. We have lots of things to do together. We love you very much and I hope you in Cali have as wonderful a time as we did. Love and kisses, YaYa - Hey there Hunter HaPpY late BiRtHdAy! you and your mommy don't know me but your friend Brycen and his mommy Ashlee had your picture and link on their site so i thoughti would stop by and say hi and wish you the best birthday ever.

Give her some of the balloons and a big hug and kiss to wish her a very Happy Birthday! I remember the day she was born, it was a very exciting and special day, just like when you were born! I will miss you so much when you and Mommy leave, but I know you will be happy to sleep in your own "Pooh" room and play with all of your new toys, then it will be time to get ready to see Daddy when he gets home in September. Give him an extra hug for me. Have a wonderful Birthday Brittany and remember I love you. GiGiMoo - WOW! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! It seems as if this past week or so has been one BIG party! Planning the party! Shopping for the party! Baking the cupcakes for the party! Decorating for the party! Rounding our favorite people for the party! AND THEN...THE PARTY! Hunter...I think that is one of the biggest birthday parties I ever saw and NEXT WEEK another PARTY! You are one POPULAR GUY! Brycen and Nicole told me that they hope their parties are as big as your parties! The only thing that Mommy was unable to pull off was having DADDY AT THE PARTY! But then you three will have a third very special party of your own in September in Savannah when Daddy comes home to see you for a few weeks! AND THAT WILL BE THE VERY BEST PARTY OF ALL! I know that your Daddy has been enjoying all of the pictures and talks that Mommy has had with him on the phone and by email and it was ALMOST as if he were at the party in person! We all loved the tee shirts that he sent to you best of all the presents! And being an Army Brat can be pretty much fun as you get to go so very many places. I have lots of friends who were Army and Navy and Marine and Coast Guard "brats" when they were kids and they are very nice and interesting people. And you, Buddy, have already had more than your share of traveling! Criss-crossing the country every few months and you won't be one until NEXT WEEK! I really had fun watching you with the all the gift paper! That was your Mommy's favorite thing at her younger parties...and her cousins and your PeePaw and his brother's and sisters! Paper is so much fun...pretty colors...pretty pictures and all crisp and crackly! I think I'll go get some paper right now and have a blast with it! Thank you, Mommy for all the nice stories and photos on Hunter's website and thank you, too, Daddy, for letting us hear from you! I won't say that I wish I were there....but I certainly wish that you were HERE! Well, as I write this I think is is about your naptime so go curl up in the wonderful blanket that Mommy made especially for you and have sweet dreams! We love all three of you so much and I thank all of your friends and family who were so incredibly generous to the sweetest little boy on earth....YOU, HUNTER! - Gigimimi Hi Hunter! I miss you, I can't wait for you to come back and play with me. I love to look at your pictures, did you have a good party? Maybe when you come I can show you how to walk and we can drive our moms crazy, it's gonna be so much fun. See you soon. Love, - Luke Hunter!!! It looks like you had a great birthday party, but guess what, you still have one more party when you get back here to Cali. We can't wait to see you. It looks like you are having a great time in El Paso. We are counting the days till you are back here. See you soon. Greg, It was good hearing from you, I always look forward to your posts on the website. You are in my thoghts and prayers everyday. Love You! XOXOX - Aunt Crystal Hi Hunter, it's your buddy Brycen! I had lots of fun at your birthday party on Saturday and I know my mommy and daddy did too. Man I can't believe how many presents and clothes you got...I hope I make out good on my 1st birthday as good as you did. My daddy keeps saying how he can't wait til I can crawl and walk...HaHa Silly daddy doesn't know what he's got in store for him. Well hopefull by the time you come back in October we'll be able to play more...I can't sit up yet so it's just a little hard for me HeHe Well I've gotta get going Hunter, mommy's gotta go to her exercise class...talk to you soon! http://www.babyhomepages.net/laddbaby/index.php - Brycen, Ash and Dustin HUNTER PAUL!!!!!!!! Hey buddy I'm SO proud of you, walking already I really wish could be there to see it. It looks like you really enjoyed your first birthday party, mommy and yaya did a good job, you got all kinds of cool stuff, isn't your mommy great with that cool blanket she made you. I LOVE YOU BUDDY and I am very proud of you Well it finally hit 140 degrees and of course I was outside the whole day while the colonel sat in some generals house and ate that stuff they call food. They offered us some but I think we all turned it down, once again there were like 20 kids come out of nowhere as soon as we stopped, they are so grabby trying to take my pen, they want my gun they want my glasses and they get upset when I tell them to get lost. Yesterday was a very long and irritating day, and the real frustrating thing is I can't do anything about it, oh well as we say suck it up and drive on. Well I started moving the other day, it's a much bigger FOB and a much nicer place I'm in a four man room, newly renovated, but we won't be living there for a couple of weeks still we just moved all of our stuff there, I think Brittany will post the new address soon. BABY- YOU DID AN GREAT JOB WITH THE PARTY AND HIS BLANKET HUNTER AND I ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING MOTHER AND WIFE, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND I MISS YOU VERY MUCH - DADDY Hi California! We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. We had a great time. Hunter loves fireworks. I am so glad he is still so little he doesn't want to shoot them yet. I thought I was over that! He is learning so much everyday and I use to wonder why Britt said her back hurt so much. Now I know why. Dead weight. He wants to walk, but he doesn't. I think we ought to just wait until he wants to, which could be 3 or 4 years from now if Britt is just lucky!! Hunter has won the hearts of everyone with his beautiful blues. He is a real hambone, too. He has taking quite a liking to looking in the mirror and kissing himself. Not shy one bit. He has also developed quite a little temper. He doesn't like it when someone tells him "no". He throws his head back and arches his back. When he doesn't figure something out right away, he just throws it! I wonder where he got that from. I think from both of his parents. Greg, you have the most beautiful son. He is precious to us as I am sure he is to you. We all miss you so much (I know Britt and Hunter most of all) we are going to have a special birthday party for him, and you will be there in your pictures and in spirit. We pray for you and think of you everyday, do not think for one minute that you are not thought of. We always think of you-especially when Hunter gets frustrated! He acts just like you! Please drink lots of water and take care of yourself, we love you!! Love, YaYa (By the way-Hunter still hasn't figured out how to say my name, but I am working on it) YaYa - Hunter!! We miss you here in California, but we will see you soon. Dylan loves looking at your pictures, we look at them everyday even though we don't always get to sign the guest book. I'm glad you had a fun first 4th of July. See you soon. Tell your mommy Hi for us. We Love you both! Greg, Glad you got a day off, we are thinking about you always. Stay Safe. We Love You! - Rod, Crystal & Dylan Hi, Hunter....and Britt....and Greg....And I thought it was hot here! I can't imagine 133 degrees and wearing all the stuff that you need to stay safe! God Bless You and keep you cool! I loved seeing all the 4th of July photos! All of you looked as if you were having a ball! Love to all... - GigiMimi Hi Hunter! It looks like you had a really fun 4th of July. We miss you. Lukas can't wait to play with you again. He loves to look at your pictures on the computer. See you soon. Love, - Aunt Tiffany July 4, 2005 Hi Hunter! I think you will out shine all the fireworks today! Pretty soon we will be celebrating your first birthday and that is really going to be special! I can hardly believe that you are already one! July is a special month in your family, lots of birthdays. I'm sorry your daddy can't be here in person to help you blow out your candle, but he is thought about all the time and we all appreciate what he is doing for our country. Have a Happy 4th, (maybe you'll get to eat a hot dog, wouldn't that be great?) Love, GiGiMoo - Hi, Darling Hunter! I just wanted you to be the last person I wrote to when I was 71 years old! In one minute it is my birthday! So this will be a very special message for me and for you I hope! I love you and your Mommy and Daddy and all our wonderful family! HOORAY! It is midnight and I am 72! Happy 4th of July to our Country and Me~ - Gigimimi HUNTER PAUL!!!!!!!! Hey buddy, Isn't walking boring I think you should just forget about it for a while. I hope you enjoy all the fireworks for your first 4th of July. I love you buddy I hope everyone enjoys the 4th of July, I actually have the day off as well, but I don't think there will be any fireworks here. A day off is better than any fireworks anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL BABY- I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY GIVE HUNTER PAUL A BIG HUG AND KISS FOR ME I LOVE YOU JULY 4 2005 - DADDY Hello all....Thanks for the special instructions on how to get to the guestbook....Something new everyday. Boy has it been hot! I've been staying home where it's cool....emptying files, throwing things away and setting up our new computer...which I will probably never learn to operater properly! I miss you, Hunter and Brittany....come over to see me and I will do the same. Everyone have a wonderful 4th of July! Love, GiGiMi & Victor!!!! Also I love the new patriotic site! The flag is beautiful! - Just a note to say hello and thanks for sharing all the pictures. Hunter is really growing up fast and what a cutey he is. Greg, get your butt home, you have been gone too long. Hugs to Brittany and Hunter. Sorry we missed you last time in Glendora. Come back soon. Love ya all. Bonnie - Bonnie Hi, Hunter....I was confused about how to sign the guest book....I have a new computer and I am definitely not an expert. Just wanted to tell you I love you and I will see you tomorrow...I hope! It is so bloody hot that I have been staying inside ALL DAY LONG! I got a little out of sorts when I went out yesterday...took me hours and hours to get dry and comfortbable again. I love you and your Momma and Daddy! Gigimi - Hi everyone! We are having so much fun here with Britt and Hunter. The pictures are great, but nothing like the real thing. It seems like Hunter has already changed some since he has been here. He is so happy and really getting brave (sometimes too much). I would truly like to read a story out of his book which he enjoys thoroughly, but he won't stay still long enough. He keeps all of us on our toes. It has been very hot here and Hunter does enjoy the pool. We are so sorry to hear about your loss in California. Hello, Greg and again we just wish you were here. It sounds like you are getting some good reading in. Some of my favorite books, unfortunately, some of the ones I was going to send. I guess it has been John Grisham week on TV as we have seen quite a few of his movies which you will have to see when you get home We'll find some others to send. We love you and miss you! YaYa - HELLO HUNTER AND BRITTANY, THE PICTURES ARE GREAT, LOOKS LIKE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME IN EL PASO, YOU'LL BE BACK IN GOOD OLE SO. CAL BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW WE CAN'T WAIT. GREG, SOME SAD NEWS, JOHN ANDRE PASSED AWAY ON FRIDAY THE 24th, HE LOOKED PRETTY BAD AT LYNETTES AND PHILS WEDDING BUT SEEMED IN GOOD SPIRITS AND WAS AT THE PRESENT OPENING PARTY THE NEXT DAY.

They just finished 3rd in the College World Series! I only started doing Kyle's website a few months ago, but I am having a ball and am really enjoying it. I have so much to learn! I noticed you are from Savannah. My niece lives and goes to school in Savannah. You have to tell me where these names "GiGi, YawYaw and PeePaw" came from! Too cute. http://www.babyhomepages.net/babybessho/index.php - Tricia Bessho (aka Grandma Bessho :) HUNTER PAUL!!!!!!! Hey buddy looks like your having a great time in El Paso with YaYa and Peepaw and everyone. Doesn't it seem like everytime you get used to having some people around you go somewhere else and see other people, thats the beauty of having a BIG family, but the best part is all the presents, don't forget to tell everyone what you want for your birthday, a big screen T.V, a Camaro, and...Daddy home, sounds like a good list to me. Well buddy you have fun with Nicole and Brycen, you can show them all the things they need to know to keep they're Mommies on their toes just like your mommy. I LOVE YOU BUDDY. I want to thank everyone for making Brittany feel right at home in California, she was nervous about going there by herself but she had a great time, Brandon and Haylee thank you for helping so much with Hunter Britt said you guys were a BIG help. And to Our El Paso Family take good care of them now, I know you will. Hunter wanted me to tell everyone that he wants a 1969 Camaro for his birthday, it's the perfect gift for a 1 year old... really it is. I love you all BABY- I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND I MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY GIVE HUNTER A BIG HUG AND KISS FOR ME - DADDY Hello Hunter and Brit! I'm so glad you have finally re-arrived in El Paso. We really enjoyed having your granparents here with us in the Hill country. Maybe you can come sometime as well. We can show YaYa that those silly snakes won't get her! Have a great time on your visit, but remember to rest just a little. You guys go too much! - Meloni Hi everybody! Well, we are finally in heaven enjoying Brit and Hunter tremendously. I can just stare at him all day. It is much easier than picking him up! As usual there are lots of people around and Hunter seems to just take it in stride. He is so content. It must be really quiet Jenn and Greg, or at least a little more than normal. We know you miss them, but we'll take over for awhile. Greg I know I have said it before, but you have a precious little boy and I know you can't wait to see him again. We all really miss you and it just isn't the same without you! Brittany is such a good mom too. You would be really proud of her for doing such a good job. We all love you and our thoughts are always with you. YaYa 6-14-05 - Hi Hunter, How is my favorite little man? I love all the pictures form Lukas' birthday party. I think you really need one of those playsets. It is just your size. I hope you are having fun with Ya Ya and Peepaw. I am sure that everyone there is spoiling you rotten. But that's what you guys are for. Tell everyone hi for me and give them all a hug. We love you and miss you. Love, - Brent, Krystal, Lindsay & Lauren.
