Hunterbug

I can't believe that Hunter has turned five, it goes so fast. Here are some recent pictures of Hunter, a little bit about his birthday, and just a few of the things we love about him. Hunter lights up our house, he is "Mr. Personality" he has such a witty sense of humor and is way too smart for his own good. Hunter is seriously a hilarious child and keeps me laughing all the time.
He is a people person, there is no such thing as a stranger to him and he makes friends so easily. He has an amazing vocabulary, he started talking in full sentences at 18 months and has always used words that are very advanced for his age. He still refers to himself as Hunterbug or his full name "Hunter William Bugalicious Burch" He still calls his bum a "pinchable" and tells me all the time that he loves me 29 pounces (instead of pounds). He already has such a sweet little testimony of the gospel and is such a good big brother. He is so inventive and extremely creative and what else can I say but that he is sooooo special to Deke and I and our entire family. For his birthday I made some homemade meatball subs since they are his favorite Subway sandwich since he was like two. We went with Grandpa and Grandma McWhorter to SunSplash for the day and had a blast. But I think that one of his favorite parts of the day was getting to wake up and build his new Transformers with daddy. Hunter has the cutest freckles I absolutely LOVE THEM!!!

We weren't even thinking of having a baby yet when we got pregnant with Hunter, we just all of a sudden were. Hunter came into our lives and has brought more joy to us than can be expressed. He is such a special little person I can not even describe what I mean when I say that. We love you so much Bug, our big five year old!!

He is ADORABLE! and I'm jealous you got a boy with freckles. I have to draw them on my boys somedays when I want them....of coarse we also draw mustaches on somedays. I can't believe you have a 5 year old either. I always feel so much older than you just because your mom and I are cousins, but I remember playing with you at your grandma and grandpa's all the time when we were little...so weird that our kids are the little ones now.
Hunter Bugalicious is adorable...happy birthday dude!
