Happy Birthday Hunter!

August 10, 2008 Hunter turned 10 years old. Hunter's birthday events started on Friday at 1pm when Grandma and Grandpa Burningham took him to Applebee's for lunch. Hunter was very concerned about spending too much on his dinner, so he ordered a Caesar Salad. Then the waitresses came and sang Happy Birthday to him and gave him Key Lime Pie for desert. Hunter thought this was really good and decided that Key Lime Pie is his new favorite dessert. After lunch Hunter got to go to Roberts Craft and pick out a model airplane. When he got home he went straight to the table and started working on the airplane. It is not finished yet, but very close! (Of course I forgot to send the camera with him to lunch, so I have no pictures-sorry!)

On Sunday morning I made Hunter pancakes and he requested a 10. Then he was privileged to take his food into the living room to eat and watch the Olympics. (USA v. China Men's Basketball game was going on).

Maka and Baka made a birthday dinner for Hunter! The best news was that Hunter's cousin Ellie was there!! We ate roast and mashed potato's with oatmeal rolls (Hunter's favorite) and a chocolate football cake that Maka made!
Hunter got a lot of gifts and was very grateful for them. Maka and Baka got him 5 new school shirts and all the things he needed for Weblos!! Ellie gave him a Skull Cap (for those of you that are not football savvy:a very very tight under armor hat that you wear under your helmet to keep your head warm in the winter or soak up the sweat in the heat). Ellie played a funny joke on Hunter by wrapping the present in about 5,000 pages of paper then wrapping paper. He had to unwrap and unwrap and...it took about 10 minutes to get to the cap! From Mom and Dad Hunter got his very own blue...iPod Shuffle! Now he can listen to music when ever he wants and he doesn't have to borrow mine or Harley's.

Hunter is a great kid and we love him so much! He is very patient and puts up with a lot of being "in the middle." He has great goals in life: playing football, graduating and getting a scholarship to a college, serving a mission, going to college, serving the country in the military, going in to politics, running for President of the United States of America, working for world peace and happy families. I know that Hunter has to potential to accomplish his goals, so stay tuned and Vote for Munk!
