Happy 9th Birthday Hunter!

Hunter looked so big and grown up to me today on his 9th Birthday. When did he get so tall and when did his legs get so long?! I watched him walking next to Mike as we walked into Church and he looked like a not so much smaller version of Mike today. He still has the cutest face and oh, how I love his smile.

At age 9 Hunter is super smart, very creative, artistic, and has a great imagination. He loves to build things, work with his Dad out in the garage, play video games and ride his bike.

He is the best big brother to Aria and has a sweet and sensitive soul. He is goofy, silly and lots of fun to be around.

Nine Things about Hunter at age 9:

1. He loves to read and is reading the 3rd Harry Potter Book. I often find him reading at night when he is supposed to be going to sleep.

2. He wears a Retainer.

3. He's Taller than his big sister Michela.

4. He loves to ride the Ripstik.

5. He is so Patient with little kids and would make a great babysitter.

6. He Pouts too much.

7. He loves to Invent things.

8. He Hates Fixing his Hair.

9. He Always rinses his Dishes and puts them in the Dishwasher.

We had all the family over for his birthday, the Stakers and the Hunts. It was a full house with lots of food, noise and good times. We munched on Hunter's favorite meal of Fajitas and I made a yummy strawberry yogurt cake for dessert. All Hunter asked for was a Ripstik so that's what he got. Now he doesn't have to keep asking Michela if he can ride hers.

Hunter would like you to meet his new Shark webkinz- Josh. He got the name from the show "Drake and Josh" on Disney. He said Drake is the chubbier one and Josh is the skinnier one, so he named him Josh, "as to not offend his webkinz." (His own words.)

Love you Buddy Boy, even when you are being a stinker. :) Have a very Happy Birthday!
