Scott Cowan and Scott Nelson.
Hunter loved playing with Uncle Scott.
Caitlyn, Debbie (Ken's cousin) and Uncle Scott
By the way, Ken and Ellen were there, just not in pictures!
He started eating the bubbles, and they gave him a beard, he thought it was funny.
I blew up him pool, filled it with water, and all he wanted to do was play with the hose outside of the pool. All that work and such a simple thing entertained him.
Before we left Vernal, we had to get a picture of Aunt Jo with her boys.
Hunter walking with his toy.

Ken was on the Cortez volunteer Fire Dept for a tiny bit and he helped build this for the "Bedrock" races that Cortez has during it's "Crazy Days" celebration.
This is in Vernal, UT. We lived in a house here for 6 weeks while Ken worked. We had planned on being there for 1 year, but our plans changed when we were able to find work back home for the same amount of pay, and be in our own home. This is when Hunter started walking.
Hunter and his cousin Trent. Both sacked out after a hard play day.
Hunter sitting happy in grandma's lap.
Hunter woke up early. I put him in his highchair and gave him some cheerios to eat. I then got in the shower while my dad kept an eye on him and I came out to see him sleeping.
At Heritage Square in the Denver area. Hunter's first train ride with mommy.
Peeking his head out. He was the dog's face. Up at Heritage Square.

Ken, Sabrina and Hunter Cowan, with the judge. Adoption is officially final!!!
In new Jumperoo after court hearing.
Sitting with great grandpa Nelson.
For adoption finalization, you go before a judge and the lawyer tells all that you have done to prove that you will be good parents and that there has been nothing to jepordize the safety of the child. The judge looks over the paperwork and then asks questions to both parents and the lawyer. Then he decides whether or not to allow the adoption to be final. Apparently he decided we were good for Hunter. Then Hunter's name was changed and we applied for birth certificate that has his name. After years of waiting and 6 months of having him in our home, we are officially parents!
