A big 4 for the Bug!


Hunterbug turned 4 years old today-hooray! We celebrated yesterday. Friday night I had fun decorating his bedroom & the kitchen for when he woke up. He wanted donuts for breakfast & we obliged most willingly.

He opened his presents from Darlin, Pa, Aunt Jennie & us-thanks guys! Right after breakfast he wanted to watch his new movie 'Cars 2'. I don't think we've ever watched a movie as early as 8:30 in the morning before!


He wanted another race track cake & had the idea to put cones (chocolate chips) all around the track.


That afternoon/evening we had a couple of his friends over. He wanted banana pancakes for dinner (pancakes with strawberries, bananas & blueberries on top with a buttermilk syrup-delicious!) & to go to a jump house. It was a lot of fun.


Some of my favorite things about our Bug

*He is one of the most affectionate kids-he likes to snuggle & he will come up to give me kisses & hugs randomly
*He loooooooves cars & plays with them constantly & he could never have too many to play with :) When we drive around town he's always pointing out 'friend' cars that he likes. Usually ones that look like race cars, are a cool color or have some kind of writing/pictures on it.
*He loves to help me cook in the kitchen, especially baking. I have to be careful to remember to always invite him to help me out or he'll get sad. He's quite adept at stirring slowly & filling the cups etc. with the ingredients all by himself.
*He has a snort laugh
*Running, racing & being chased make him the happiest boy
*I love his positive attitude-seems like everything is his 'fravwrit' color or food or whatever, everything we do is fun & he loves everything. I could learn a lot from him about attitude.
*He is kind of polar in his moods, when he's upset he can still throw the loudest, longest fit around but when he's happy he is really happy, goofy, silly & fun to be around.
*He is a great brother-he loves to wrestle/tickle Justin, snuggle with Emma & play the days away with Hyrum
*I love our quiet time each day while the babies nap. We play games, do his workbook, color, read books etc.
*And he likes to go to bed early :)

We love you Bug!

Happy Birthday Hunter! He is so sweet!! Your description of him reminds me so much of my Forrest-I think they would be kindred spirits if they could play together.

What a wonderful birthday party you planned! It sounds PERFECT for kids: cars movie, jumpy house, pancakes for dinner--life doesn't get any better for a little boy! How in the world is he 4?! :)

We might have the same child. Elliot's birthday is on Friday, and we are also going to a "jumpy jump" place for his birthday. And I think he would make the same expression while opening Cars 2.
