Hunter's 5th Birthday



5 years ago at 12:41 a.m. on June 14th, Hunter came into this world!  It's hard to believe our 9 pound, 2 ounce bundle of joy is already 5 years old!

Hunter is now 3 feet 7.25 inches and weighs 46.5 pounds.  He just graduated from his harness car seat to a booster with a big seat belt.  He is still our BIG drama king.  We are still working on his inability to control his emotions.  He is still very sweet and thoughtful.  He always wants to make presents for people.  He loves to bring me flowers.  He loves to play with Jacob.  They are best friends and I'm so grateful they still enjoy playing together!


 

Hunter asks for these cheese balls every time we go to Walmart.  This kid LOVES snack food!


We had a family celebration before his party guests arrived and Trevor left for work.


Adam was very interested in helping Hunter open his presents, now that he knows what to do with them. 

Jacob was having a hard morning.  He got in trouble for blurting out what Hunter's present was before Hunter opened it.  It is very hard for him when it's someone else's turn to have the spotlight.

I love that Hunter's birthday is on Flag Day.  I tell him it's his birthday flag and it will be there every birthday for him!

We celebrated Hunter's birthday party at the movies.  We saw Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.  The kids were SO good!  They sat in their chairs and ate the plethora of candy and popcorn that was provided to them.  I didn't hear a peep out of a single kid, all 13 of them!  It was possibly the easiest party I have ever thrown for my kids. 







Here is the crazy group!  We all came back to our house for cake & ice cream afterward.  I was surprised the kids could even think about cake & ice cream after all that candy!  I'm sure we sent home a few tummy aches!
