Hunter's Birthday




Hunter turned 10 years old on October 22nd. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday his reply was always "I would give anything to go to Smackdown vs. Raw". (Incase you don't know what that is, it is World Wrestling Entertainment.) By the time he told me this, I thought the tickets would be all sold out so I told him we wouldn't be able to go. I started to feel bad about not even checking for the tickets so I called the box office. I got really lucky. There were two tickets right on the floor. I bought them but stuck to my story of they were "all sold out". I wanted to surprise him. On the night of the event, I picked him up from school and headed towards the Thomas & Mack Center. Earlier I had put the tickets above the visor so I asked him to hand me something from above it. When he pulled down the visor, the tickets fell into his lap. He was so excited. You can see just how excited by the picture.
I thought it was a long, loud night but he loved being right in the middle of all the action and seeing his favorite wrestler, Jeff Hardy. I had also given him the Jeff Hardy armbands, shirt, pants, choker and hat and now he thinks HE is Jeff Hardy. He spends a lot of time trying to do flips in the air which he has found out isn't that easy. He now flips on the couch and on his bed. He loves going to Grandma's because she has a trampoline and he can have his own wrestling match in the backyard. He tells me he is now the World Wrestling Champion. Nobody is safe from his wrestling. Dayzee and Khloee try to run and hide from him when they see him get out his wrestling stuff.
