Stevie's 6th birthday...way back on June 30!

He started his day with our usual family tradition of waking him up singing "Happy Birthday to You".  It took him a bit to be fully awake :)Then came the opening of family presents...his favorite part!Then he got his birthday breakfast request...Green Eggs and Ham.  Although, in this case, they look more like green sherbet.

Stevie got to have his first official "friends" party.  They had a scavenger hunt, and slip and slide.Then, the birthday cake.  Please don't look to closely...soccer balls are harder to make than they look!It doesn't get much better than having birthday cake and root beer floats with friends!

Since he's now six years old, I'll share six fun facts about Stevie with you...

1.  Stevie is full of energy, and is in perpetual motion.  I have to be careful what movies he watches, because he likes to act them out.  Not such a good thing when it comes to movies like Kung Fu Panda.

2.  He loves to tell Steve and I all the time how much he loves us...and that he loves us more.  (See "Stevie Says"  to your right)

3.  He is ALL boy.  Instead of flowers, he'll often bring me rocks or sticks (sometimes bugs, but I refuse to accept those).

4.  He is my only non-shy child, and is very friendly.  I think he secretly loves the comments strangers make about how cute he is when he talks to them.

5.  He has really buff calves!  Funny thing he does...when he runs, he only touches the ground with the balls of his feet.  And he does a lot of running! (Refer to fact #1)

6.  He LOVES to give hugs and kisses.  The other day he gave me a big hug, and then looked up at me and grabbed my face and said..."you know, my hugs ALWAYS come with kisses", and then proceeded to give me a great big kiss!  Life doesn't get much better than that!
