Hunter's Monster Truck Birthday Party!!


Well my baby is officially 4!!!
So crazy how fast this year has come and gone!!
Hunter had a fun fantastic birthday party!!
Mommy went a little over the top, and got VERY crafty with his Monster Truck party!!
I made everything at his party, from the cake, marchmellow pops, decorations, labels, games, etc.
*FYI these marchmellow pops were very YUMMY!!*
I had so much fun doing so as well!!
Everyone was fascinated at how well my crafting skills came along way!
It's hard finding Monster Truck theme for a bday party, I had to order most of the decorations, and made a lot to go with it.
I was more impressed with myself at really how well everything turned out! Okay I'll stop bragging now, just get so very excited doing these one time events for my little guy! :)
Here is a wreath I made and a penota.

The party favor table for the kids to take home.
Photo booth ;-)
More decorations
Food and drink table

The Monster Truck birthday cake, all made out of mud! Ha.
(the boys LOVED his cake)

Digging into his cake! ;)
A few of his guest, thank you all for making this day so special!!
Hunter opening up his presents.. he was a bit sleepy at this point, poor babe.
He got lots of great gifts!!
Our family photo.. Love my little family!!
Playing with his new truck Grandma bought him.
And to end his special day, we set off his balloons to Jesus in heaven, thanking him for making Hunter another year older.

And of course to end the night, he couldn't help but run his new truck through the mud. :)
He got a bit muddy himself. Ha.
All of his birthday gifts, he got so much stuff!!


Again, Thank you all for making Hunters 4th Birthday feel so special!!!
Just look at my 4yr old *baby* boy!!!!...
They grow so fast!!! Here's to a new year!!
(I realize this post room me 3 weeks to post dye to a lot of photos and my lack of posting, ha.. now, onto September! ) ;v

1st Day of K4 Preschool

Today is my babies first day of K4 Preschool and he was super excited!!
Mommy on the other hand was and wasn't excited, because I am not at all ready for this, ha!
Last Thursday we were able to meet Hunter's new teacher; Mrs. Love and we took a tour of his new class room and playground. He has the same friends in his class as the class before. Mrs. Love has LOTS of fun learning activities, field trips, games and prayers he'll be learning over the next year and we're so excited for him!!
He's going to have a fun year ahead!
 We had to buy all his school supplies for the upcoming year, and oh my word,.. the list was pretty long and crazy for a 4 year old!! But I suppose he'll have to have these supplies in order to do his work at school.
Sighe... he's growing too fast y'all!! :(

BIRTHDAY BOY TURNS 4 TODAY!!




My dearest son, today you turned another year older, how is this seriously possible?!?..
Mommy and Daddy cannot believe you are 4 today <<--- (Did I just say that)!!!
My son you have grown into a handsome young man and we couldn't be any prouder of you!!
You have changed so much lately, times been going by so quickly, life's been crazier than ever that I haven't had time to write down everything you have done/said and I'm saddened by it. Mommy needs to stay on board with all of these changes because we all know we'll never get this moment back. :(
Hunter you have gotten so tall and link lately. ha. You weigh about 43lbs and around 4 ft tall, you are in a size 11 shoe (big foot), size 4T clothing, some 5T's. You love to sing and dance whenever there is music on. You are ALWAYS jumping off of something (scares me half to death). You love it when Mommy reads to you then you say "me turn" and you like to go through the book by yourself and call out things that are happening in the picture to me.
 You have so many wonderful brothers and sisters (stuffed animals) at home with you that you cuddle up with and love.. there is Rex, Rusty, Tiger, Max, Kitty boo boo, Angel, T-Rex, and I'm sure many more.

You make sure you inform us now a days that we didn't do or say something the correct way, you love correcting us shall I say. Such a smarty pants latley. Ha! A little example (I went to tuck you in the other night and you informed me that I didn't tuck you in like you told me to, instead of having the covers half way on your chest like I did, you made sure "Mommy, you didn't tuck me in, "I told you" I wanted the covers all the way up to here". (You are ALWAYS saying that you "TOLD US SO" but really you tell us half of what you said and add the rest of your story after we've already done what we've had to do or say. Your favorite words ... "I told you so Mommy, I told you".. haha
You love playing pretend baby or puppy with Mommy. You say things like "you be Mommy and I be Baby okay" then you start crying like a new born baby, It's bitter sweet. :) You say your manners so well, everything is yes ma'am/sir, no ma'am/sir, thank you or THANKS, you remind us to chew with our mouths closed when eating, you are very polite. We have raised you well I'd have to brag!
You have a huge vocabulary now days, sometimes you come home with new words each week, last week it was "Mommy these (blank) are DELICIOUS". Oh that made me giggle when I heard that come from you. :)  You say so many cute things lately, every night before going to sleep I tuck you in, and when I start to walk away and close the door you say "mommy, I love you so much", I say it back, then you say "goodnight", then you say "mommy", pause.. "You didn't give me a kiss", so I give you a kiss, then we go through the whole "I love you" all over again, then you say "Mommy you didn't tuck me in", and it continues for about a minute.. ha. So bitter sweet!! You melt mommies heart!!
In the mornings during the school week I'll turn on the radio and get you to dance your way out of the bed, Its the only way I know how to get you up and moving because you DO NOT  like to wake up in the mornings. I also tickle you, then we hide from daddy so he can't tickle you either.
In the evenings you enjoy "helping" daddy outside in the yard. You say "Mommy I want to work with Daddy when we get home";. So cute!
You are always talking up a storm, telling me silly stories about your pretend brother and his sister at there house and going hunting. :) You explained to me the other day that "at my brother's house you can go hunting Mommy, at my brothers house where he hunts, he has a big, big, big, big, big,... pond with crocodiles you have to cross through to hunt in stand", I said I don't think I'd like to hunt at your brothers house, sounds very scary, you reply "Mommy It's okay, you'll be okay", then you talk about you hunt with a bow, and kill big,big, big bucks this huge (holds up arms as wide as he can). Haha Oh the stories you come up with fascinate me and your daddy!! :) You are def. our little Hunter!!!
Lately your new word is "look it" (look Mommy). ha.
Lately all you've talked about is you being a big boy and can do everything by yourself because you are not a baby anymore. Ha. When I say you'll always be Mommy's baby tho. right, you say no Mommy, I'm a big boy. :) Ah I love you so much!!
These past few months have been so wonderful having a 3 almost 4 year old around. It's so amazing what they say, and come up with.
You have grown out of that tantrum phase (Thank you Lord), and understand what we tell you to do or else time out is enforced (which you dislike)
Some things you are into lately, T.V shows; Super why, Franklin, Bubble Gumpies, Calhou, Fresh Beat Band, Chuggington, Jake the neverland Pirates, dino dan,  Love that dog/Jesus movie G-ma bought you (can't remember name of it), Monsters is by far your favorite movie,  tee-ball ( you can throw a ball very well), spider/bat man, super heroes, dinosaurs, any truck or train, dirt ha, books, puzzles, building things, coloring, hunting.
You can say your #'s up to 20 now, say some ABC's.
Oh this letter could go on and on, I could talk about you forever.
I just want you to know that you mean EVERYTHING to me and your Daddy and we are BEYOND blessed to have you apart of our lives and God chose you to be our son! You are the BEST thing that has EVER happened to me and your daddy!! We are so VERY proud of you baby boy!! Next week you'll be moved up into your 4K class and It's so hard to believe this!! Hunter we love you and pray that you continue to grow up to be the little boy God intended for you to be!!
Love you so much... Hugs.XOXO..Kisses,
Mommy and Daddy
P:S- Birthday Party photos to come, stay tuned!! .. (I did a LOT of crafting for his Monster Truck party, can't wait) Eekk!!
