Bubba-lou-hoo

My Jesse Michael Kuykendall turned six years old on Thursday. We celebrated by going sledding in the morning since BJ was supposed to have a board meeting in the evening. (The meeting ended up being moved due to the weather. Yeah!) For dinner I fixed him his favorite meal besides peanut butter sandwiches... taco salad. I really had it easy because he also requested monkey bread for his cake. The cheater one with can biscuits!!! :) Jesse is a fun kid. He started out his life extremely chunky! He was amazing at nursing...and it showed! Aunt Linda always teased that he was drinking the cream! HA! He has definitely slimmed down over the years. Bubs was our earliest walker, talker, and potty-trainer. Jesse adds such a fun and unique dimension to our family. Here are a few things that make Bubba so special:

1. He knows how to whistle really well. Every where we go he whistles non-stop. I will never lose him in Wal-mart because I can always hear him.

2. Jesse has always said things wrong... really wrong. Restruction (construction) man, this summer he called bell peppers "salt and peppers," teeter tots (tator tots), sprinklers (suspenders), famous grammar "where is em?", he never wants his cheerios to get foggy (soggy), apple spider (apple cider). And then there is the funny time he wanted us to guess his favorite restaurant, "I'll give you a hint, it starts with a G..... Ginese!"

3. I catch him checking out his muscles often.

4. He is a very generous and forgiving boy. He is so appreciative of anything given to him.

5. Jesse is a second born and has the mischievous twinkle in his eye like daddy!

6. He loves to wrestle. As a baby he was a major snuggler.

7. He is always climbing ladders, trees, etc. really high.

8. When J.R. gets hurt, you'll always hear Jesse comforting him, "Oh honey, are you okay?"

9. At the checkouts, Jesse is continually looking for money.... and he finds lots!!!

10. It is so cute to see him throwing his tomahawk. He is truly all boy.

We love you Jesse!!!
