Can my baby really be 6?

Big Birthday Electric Guitar...Rock on Hank!

Birthday Party #1

Birthday Party #2

It seems like we were just dropping off Hannah (peeper #1) to go have Hank (peeper #2) ... in fact, we even managed to run by Babies R Us for some blue bubblegum cigars ... this is what baby boys do to daddy's! I still have hard time droppping Hank off for Kindergarten some days...he doesn't seem big enough to be getting out of the car with big sister Hannah and walking into school with a back pack and his hair done to a T (by himself I might add ... I mean, how many 6 year olds do their own "do"?). Hank was so ready to be 6 ... seems like he had a countdown going for a couple of months which of course extended into, "It's still my birthday week" .... Hank is constant entertainment ... funny, smart and of course handsome, like his daddy. We were at a Christmas program last week and the "angels" came dancing along on the stage ... Hank leans over to me and says, "Mom, those are not angels ... they don't have those circle things on their head" .... talk about sweet and funny at the same time ... that is my Hanker! I love how he wants me to "lay with him" every night and read to him. This is my baby who wanted me to "rock me mommy" until he was about 4 ... such a snuggle bug and I guess that's how he became my "love bug". I like to ask him if he's still going to be my "love bug" when he goes to college (can't even begin to imagine those days ... heck, I barely got through Pre-K graduation ... it's not going to get any easier with my Hankie. So, here's to my big 6 year old "baby" ... Happy Sweet 6th Birthday to my Hankie, Hanker, the Hankinator and of course, my love bug!

Sweet 6th Basketball Birthday!

I was so excited when my friend Julie (be sure to check out her sweet blog too - http://justjuleseveryday.blogspot.com/) 
asked me to do Brady's 6th birthday cake ... of course I'm a little partial to 6 year old boys ... because our own Hank is turning 6 this week too! AND ... Brady & Hank are buddies in the same Kindergarten class! Nothing sweeter than boys ... don't get me wrong little girls are great too ... but something about little boys and my love bug Hank ... he has always been a snuggler since day 1 and still lets me call him my love bug! I love how he gives me compliments and notices all the little things like even when I've had my toe nails painted! I love how he always has to give me a kiss AND a hug. I love how he winks at me and raises his eyebrows ... makes me laugh everytime! I had lunch today with my love bug and love sitting with the Kindergarten boys and listening to all their stories, being called Mrs. Phillips and well, of course how many times they can burp ... they are all so sweet & polite ... well most of the time! So here's to being 6 and sweet and snuggly and so adorable! Happy 6th Birthday Brady!
