What does a 6 year old little boy want for his birthday? Well Pierce wanted Lego sets, a light saber, an ice cream maker, a Harry Potter magic wand, and Vibram barefoot running shoes. Thanks to generous family, he either received or was able to purchase all of these items with birthday money! And what did he want from Paul and I? A hamster. He's been begging for a hamster since last summer! I thought maybe he'd forget about it by now, but nope. He named her Jubal.
I have to confess - that furry, fat little body. Those perky and curious little ears. We're all just a little smitten by this cute creature.
Including this guy. I see you Baxter. Don't even think about it!
Awwww, just look at that smile! Happy belated SIXTH Birthday Pierce! Try not to grow up too fast, for your Mama's sake.
ReplyDeleteJubal...how appropriate, just look at the 'Jubal'ation on that wee face, hehe.
Oh Jubal is very cute. We had hamsters when I was a kid and Guinea pigs.
ReplyDeleteWow barefoot runners I am excited about them too. Yeah sounds like fun.
Happy belated birthday Pierce. B
Awww So cute! And I love a Mario cake, brings me back a bit :-) My kids really want a dog, but I am trying to use the "chickens as pets" part of our chicken experiment to hopefully put them off until it gets warm again!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a cute pet! I hope he remains in his cat free zone.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....didn't you get Baxter because he is supposed to be a good mouser? Maybe you should keep him in your car.
ReplyDeleteI can see that Baxter is really excited! That picture was too funny! Happy 6th birthday Pierce!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he got what he wanted, but that's a little too mouse-like for my comfort!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday pierce!! he and jubal are just adorable!
ReplyDeleteI think all kids have a hamster or want a hamster at some time or another -- I just remember they have a particular smell.... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Pierce! I'm so excited for him for getting Jubal. Such a sweet picture of the two of them. And I like the photo of watchful Baxter, too.
ReplyDeleteI bet all those gifts made his day! :) Yes 6 years goes by so fast.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love Legos.
Happy Birthday to him!
What a happy house for a hampster!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Pierce!! I had hamsters when I was young too, they are great pets.. but do keep him away from the cat! That happened at my house too... ugh.
ReplyDeleteI just Love their happy little faces, cute Gerbil to.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your boy! Looks like he and Jubal have bonded fast.
ReplyDeleteAwe Happy birthday Pierce. Jubal is so cute and fuzzy. I can remeber all four of my children having a hamster at one time. Oh, how fun that was.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at them at Petco remembering a first purchase.We had rabbits, cats,fish, and dogs also.

ReplyDeleteHaha! Great photos and a nice story. Age 6 is special. I was into model cars that had to be glued together. Amazingly, I didn't create the mess you might expect! Happy Birthday!!!!

ReplyDeleteJubal is pretty cute. Glad Pierce had a great birthday!
ReplyDelete(Baxter looks a lot like my panda-girl Luna!)
Happy Birthday Pierce! I love this picture of the cat staring at Jubal. When I was younger our bog dog would sit and stare at my hamster while it ran in it's wheel. :)
ReplyDeleteKitty looks like he want Jubal bad.... and not to befriend either. I think he has lunch in mind.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he had a nice birthday.
