Cavin's 6th Birthday!

I can't believe my son is six! Time seems to fly by since he went to kindergarten and I don't get to spend all day with him anymore! He was so excited for his birthday and was counting down the days. The day before his birthday I went to the school to surprise him and be the "mystery reader" for his Kindergarten class. It was so fun to hear the clues and then when I said the title of my book and he heard my voice hear him scream "YES!!!" when he knew it was me. I had lunch with him and he got to wear this birthday hat and carry the school "spirit stick"

Saturday was his birthday and he woke up to our traditional birthday donuts! Since Ragnar had to work later, we sang to him twice ;) Once with a candle in a donut, and once with his cake!

He doesn't love all the attention, so he gets embarrassed easily. I love his cute smile when he is shy!

After breakfast we went to his soccer game. For him there is nothing better than being able to play soccer on your birthday! He kept his tradition of at least scoring one goal each game this season so he was happy about that. After the game his team sang and we gave them cupcakes, then we went to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Speers and Aunt Natalie. Of course because McDonalds had skylander toys, that is where he chose to go!

When we got back we did presents and cake and ice-cream. He wanted a soccer cake with soccer players?!?! So I did the best I could.

He could hardly wait for presents!!

He got the race track he wanted "Hotwheels Mega Loop Mayhem". He also got skylanders, soccer balls, cars, rainbow loom bands, books, crafts, a monster truck remote control car, and other fun stuff!

Here is Grandpa helping put it together!

He was excited to have Grandma and Grandpa and Natalie here spending the day with him! In the evening we went to the Rockets game. Since much like his father, sports fulfill his mind! 

He was excited that his dad bought him a new James Hardin jersey and held hit to his face and smiled when he gave it to him ;) We got to have cotton candy, pretzels, and popcorn! I think we had enough junk food for the week! 
I hope he had a great birthday! We sure do love him. At his 6 year wellness check he was 62 lbs and 48 inches. Some of his favorite things right now are: the color green, the number 8, anything to do with numbers, Skylanders and playing the wii, First in Math at school (a math computer game in which is he is the player of the day almost everyday), Soccer, watching the Rockets play basketball, crafts/coloring, his blue blanket, a phone call from his dad, shooting soccer balls in his net in the backyard, Beanie Boos, turtles and horses, making rainbow loom bracelets, chicken nuggets and graham crackers with frosting, and telling us about his day at the dinner table! He is a sweet boy and rather calm. He really dislikes loud noise or chaos. He has a very mischievous smile, and a very full, fun laugh. We are so grateful we get to call him ours!
