Hunter's 8th Birthday

Well I think I am slacking lately - My picture taking is weak!  I only have two pictures of Hunter's birthday!  I have to say I can't believe Hunter is 8 years old already.  I can really tell a big difference this year in Hunter's maturity.  He is loving be 8 and loves being a boy scout.  He has grown so much academically as well.  He is improving with his reading each month and he is ahead is in math levels -we couldn't be more proud of him.  Surprisingly he is obedient at school and never talks out of turn - who knew?  I was surprised to find out this year that Hunter has a ton of friends.  He seems so confident at school and just speaks his mind.  He is still very sensitive, but I wouldn't trade that in the world.  He is always sticking up for his friends and he is bold about it.  I love that he would rather play outside than play a video game.  Any chance he gets he is outside with his friends on his bike, digging for fossils or treasure.  I am so glad he is my oldest because he is a great older brother! I love you Hunt!
