You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

We hit 7!




Hunter's birthday was on 4-18. We celebrated all weekend. We went to family fun / pizza place on Friday night, he got to go shoot at whistle pigs (little gopher things) with his dad at our friend's house on Saturday, and then Sunday we had some family over for a little dinner and party....He wanted a "hunting cake" so this was the result.
Here are a few things about our Hunter on his 7th birthday:
  • He loves to burp- it is a thrill of a lifetime if it's long at all...he swears he can burp his ABC's!
  • He loves dirt bikes - he wanted one for his birthday and I thought about drawing a bike in a pile of dirt, but I don't think it would have been the same.
  • He doesn't know a stranger- he adores everyone and talks to everyone, even if he sees the lunch lady while we are at Carl's Jr. he'll cease playing to go and say hello.
  • I have had people comment that there's a look in his eye, he's here for a special reason and you can tell.
  • He is really good at karate.
  • He loves to be outside.
  • He hates writing his spelling words every day.
  • He idolizes Travis and wants to be big enough to go hunting with him.
  • He is very good with his brothers and sister - most of the time....he has his moments.
  • He is a tender hearted boy - he can't stand it if he knows someone will be hurt (Physically)
  • His favorite food is candy
  • He colors on everything he wears to school.
  • He loves to whine whine whine about everything that doesn't go his way.
  • He asks millions of questions because he likes to be in the know about everything that's going on!
  • He takes showers that last a day and a half (not that I blame him...I love a long hot shower too)!
  • He loves to swim - he's a fish in human form.

What a fun kid! (minus the whining) We are glad he's in our family and he made it 7 years!
