Happy 6th birthday Thad!

 Thad is 6 years old! We had a party for him at the Home Depot.  They actually host birthday parties where the kids each get to build something.  It's really fun and the kids loved it!

After they all built their project we had cake.  I love Thad's face in these pictures.  He loves the attention everyone gives him and was just beaming from ear to ear while we were singing to him.  

He wanted a Ninja Turtle cake.

He got a lot of fun presents.  He got a really neat microscope that you can hook an iPhone or iPad to it and see different slides, lots of ninja turtle stuff and legos! 

This is one of his buddies from school.  

Chloe, Thad and Jesse went to daycare together when they were babies and now look at them.  They are all grown up.  They don't see each other often but when they do, it's like old times again.

A couple friends from his old school.

Our sweet boy is growing up.  It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby and now he is 6.  Thad is such a sweet boy.  He is so thoughtful and always worried about the people around him.  He is a great brother and is turning into a little man.  

When he grows up he wants to be a cowboy so he can shoot a gun! At least for now, that's what he wants to be.  Every cowboy needs a hat so we went and picked one out.  Of course Ollie needed one since his brother was getting one! He also got a cool gun with a holster.  When we were picking out his hat, he said to me "mom, when I grow bigger can I shoot my gun in the desert?" then he asked me "When I become a cowboy and I move away, do cowboys miss their momma's?" I told him cowboys always miss their momma's and can come home anytime they want! 

 He didn't have school the day before his birthday so Thad and I had a date! We went to see "Free Birds" and it was so cute! He loves getting his own pop and popcorn.  

The day of his birthday, Adam and I woke him up by singing happy birthday and giving him a doughnut cake! He thought that was pretty neat.

It was very bright and this is the best smile I got :) 

For his birthday, I surprised him at school and came to eat lunch with him.  He was so excited and I had a great time even though I ate the cafeteria food. 

It almost brought tears to my eyes how grown up he is at school.  I don't get to see him everyday at school and it just amazes me.  

To finish off the birthday we went to Red Robin for dinner.  They sang to him and gave him an ice cream sundae.  Of course he loved it and was smiling the whole time.  

Thad amazes me everyday.  He has had his struggles but is so full of life.  He is so caring and polite and always tries to do the right thing.  Of course he has his moments but it makes him who he is.
