The Big 3!


When my computer stopped working, I lost the pictures for Hunter's birthday party which was almost two weeks ago.  Luckily, Barb had taken pictures too and I was able to get copies of those pictures from her.  So his birthday post is a little late.  By the way, my laptop is still rebooting a lot on it's own and I never can tell when it will work or not.  If I can keep it working, I plan to start posting more.


Hunter was really excited when we brought the cake out and sang Happy Birthday!  Since he loves trains we got him a Thomas the tank cake.  He loved it!  He also enjoyed eating the cake and ice cream and drinking from a big cup.


Then it was time for the presents.  He tore them open in no time. 


His reactions were priceless.  He was overjoyed with each present.


He was given several trains and a train set.


His friends were quick to help him put the tracks together so they could play.


We saved the biggest present for last.  Hunter got a new 4 wheeler!


He was so happy he smiled all day while riding it!


Barb's son, Adam, has the exact same 4 wheeler, so we put an orange flag on it, so Hunter could tell the difference.  That flag didn't last long, it fell off.  But we also put him on a license plate with his name on it, so that helps too.


He has ridden that 4 wheeler every day since he got it.  It's the first thing he asks for when he wakes up.


My baby is growing so fast!  I love you Hunter!

Aww, that's so precious. Three years old, my goodness. Happy Birthday Hunter! They always feel like big boys when they're that age. That's great you were able to get your pics from a friend. That happened to me once too.
You have a beautiful family Nancy:)

I am glad you got your gift! I sealed it up and didn't even put a note in there. I was sad when I noticed that. I hope you enjoy it!!

Thomas the Tank has been around a long time, my son is 23 and he loved him too. Cool 4 wheeler! Didn't have those when my kids were little.

I'm glad he had such a good b-day. And hope you get the laptop fixed soon-so aggravating I know!!
