Will had a Birthday!!!

Will is six years old!! And I can hardly believe it!

He is such a fun kid to have around. I smile just looking at him. He has a smile that melts my heart. Lately he has taken to sneaking up and giving me a hugs. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. When he was a baby he wasn't much of a cuddler (I don't think that's a word but you I'm going to use it anyway) so when he comes up and gives me a hug or sits on my lap I get giddy.

At school he got to wear this nifty crown and Cord went to his class and read his favorite book (a Halloween book from the library) and pass out treats. His sweet teacher gave him a book and a he got a pencil & candy from the PTA. He was one happy dude when he came home.

At home we hung up our Happy Birthday banner and had balloons waiting for him. I can't believe how much my kids love balloons (and how much Cord hates them).

We had a really busy night with 3 games and a meeting so we opened up presents and had cake after school. One present he loved (Barry got one too) was this ninja sword. Anyone who knows WIll knows that he LOVES to play flight. Even while on the soccer field he is busting out the ninja moves.


He loved the gifts from friends and family -- thanks for everything! This little snicker came just after he opened an action figure from Grandma Risa & Grandpa Barry and started to open their next present. Their next present was Spiderman underwear.

He about had a heart attack when he got to hold this $20 bill. He has been making a list of the things he is going to buy with it...

a golden sword
fruit snacks
a gun
new soccer ball
Bionicle
some Lego's
Star Wars guy
Hot Rods (Hot Wheels)
my own pack of gum
something else at Wal-mart

Seriously look at that smile! Your heart is melting isn't it!

Will had a great birthday. He is one smart, athletic, funny, artistic, sweet kid -- and I love his guts!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday Will!!! I can't believe he is 6. I remember when he could just say "dada"... when we were trading babysitting so we could help Cole and Riley's class read and he thought my neighbor was Cord. Time goes by too fast!

Oh, Wilbur, happy birthday. I'm so glad your mom remembered. Next time we see you we'll give you some birthday pinches (you know where). We love you so much and are VERY glad you were born six years ago.

What a cute boy! I can't believe he's six! When did that happen? I still remember him being the most adorable little baby boy ever!!! And now he's an adorable bigger boy! I love hearing what he'd buy with the $20. Happy Bday Will!
