Hudson is 6!

I say it every year, but I can't believe the baby that made me a mommy first is 6!  Anyone who knows Hudson is aware of his "cop" obsession.  Naturally, we had a police themed birthday party on Sunday.  I wanted to keep things simple for the party, so we ordered pizzas, made salad, and bought cupcakes from Publix.  Also, you cannot have a police party without donuts!

I sent Luke a picture of a "jail" made out of a box, and he made it come to life.  This may have been the biggest hit of the party.

Then a special guest showed up!

LIFE MADE!  I called the Police station a few days before the party and explained that I had a cop obsessed little boy, and asked if they could have someone stop by the party.  They were so nice, and more than willing to come by as long as they were not super busy.  The officer that came out could not have been better with the kids, and even let Hudson sit in the car!  In a time when our law enforcement does not get enough respect it was so awesome to see a group of kids in awe of this police officer.    I cannot thank the Mt Juliet Police Dept. enough for making Hudson's day!  He even got a mention on their twitter page :)

We were so caught up in the excitement we almost forgot about his big gift!  He now has a big bike complete with hand brakes (his request) and a police light/siren!

The fun continued this morning with our annual pancake breakfast.

Some things I want to remember.....

You are still a picky eater, and barely eat.

YOU LOVE TO TALK.  Like, non stop.  You ask approx 234135 questions a day.  

You are too honest for your own good.  Your teacher confirmed this at our meeting last week.  We never have to wonder what is going on with you.  If you get in trouble at school, you tell us before we even have the chance to ask. 

You are so social.  You come home with a full lunchbox, and I am certain it is because you spent your entire lunch socializing.  

You remember everything.  Things I don't even remember.

You LOVE Kindergarten.  #socializing

You are doing so well in baseball this year.  We are finally in a more competitive league, and it has been so fun.

Being outside with your friends is your favorite. 

You have the most tender heart.  

Hudson,

You are such a special little boy, and we are so proud of you.  My prayer is that you will always be kind to others, and that people will see Jesus through you.  Always remember who you are, and dream big!  Happy Birthday!
