Those eyes. I'm a goner, it's over, I'm done. From day one, I'm lost every time he gives me that look. A soundtrack starts playing and I'm flashing to the first time he tells me he's in love, asks for my car keys, graduations...I know this is how it works, his job is to grow and mine is to watch. But I had no idea this went in fast forward.
Happy Birthday to my favorite 5 year old boy who currently wants nothing more than to be a Pawpaw and have a 'mustache under his nose'. Who thinks life is mainly about fishing and skateboarding with chocolate chip cookies mixed in. Who loves laughing until his belly button hurts. Sigh. I love you.

(05.05.10 @ 10:35 PM)Wow...what a cutie!
(05.06.10 @ 06:36 AM)5 seems so old! Hughes is definitely looking taller and more like a kid. We're about to go through the same "they grow so fast" moment next month when Keller turns 5.
Happy #5 Hughes!
(05.06.10 @ 08:34 AM)When this entry showed up in my Google reader I thought to myself... "wow, Clary photo'd a kid that looks like Hughes will look when he's grown up" Then I realized it WAS Hughes... and he IS grown up! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!
Happy birthday Hughes.... I can't wait to see you again!!!!! :D :D :D
(05.06.10 @ 09:28 AM)Happy Birthday Hughes! From one Taurean to another, You Rock!
(05.06.10 @ 10:01 AM)Beautiful Beautiful post! It is sad how life seems to be on fast forward when it comes to how quickly our children grow. Happy Birthday to your big 5 year old guy!
(05.06.10 @ 10:41 AM)look at him! he's like a real kid now- not a toddler or baby. he's such a handsome little man.
(05.06.10 @ 11:12 AM)oh love this post!
(05.06.10 @ 01:36 PM)Love! My 4 year old just asked if he can have a skateboard when he's 5. And he's decided he is growing his hair out.
(05.06.10 @ 05:24 PM)Happy Birthday to Hughes! Love the 5th birthday pics, Clary!

(05.07.10 @ 07:36 AM)Love he skateboads in flip flops! LOL! Happy Birthday Hughs! PS, I'm curious about the silly string party. How was it?
(05.07.10 @ 10:34 AM)Oh jeez Jake's little noggin is sleeping on me and I saw this post and I started crying. Sigh ... :)
(05.07.10 @ 11:17 AM)Oh Clary, these images, they just take my breath away. What a beautiful boy he is.
You keep your words to a minimum on your posts but make every.last.one.of.them.count.
Well done you :)
(05.07.10 @ 04:09 PM)Wow 5 already where has the time gone, he is so darn cute!!!!Happy Birthday Hughes!!!!
(05.07.10 @ 04:36 PM)You make beautiful babies! Just Sayin!
(05.07.10 @ 05:06 PM)Oh so sweet. Just a perfect and precious post. (Man, I wish I could photograph like you! So clean!)
PS You are freaking me out at how fast boys grow!
(05.08.10 @ 08:45 AM)It's funny how you are able to make so many of us feel like we "know" your family when we haven't really met them. I am floored that he's so big, so old...man, it DOES go quickly. He is absolutely adorable, though. Or do you say "handsome" once they reach 5?!
Your pictures have once again captured some amazing moments in life.
(05.10.10 @ 10:13 AM)Wow Clary your son is going to be quite the heartbreaker! He is so fortunate to have a mom that takes amazing pics of him growing up :) Thanks for sharing.
(05.12.10 @ 08:39 PM)He's looking like such a little man!! So cute!!
(05.17.10 @ 10:43 PM)Clary ... this is so beautiful!!! Don't you just wish time would stand still just for a few minutes?? They grow up so fast! He is a handsome guy and I know you are so proud! Hope you are doing well!
(05.19.10 @ 08:46 PM)Clary, Hughes has turned into a beautiful little boy, I so loving looking at all your photos of your family. Congrats on two beautiful children and the success of your business!! I am very proud of you!
(05.27.10 @ 02:33 PM)WOW- he is getting SO big!!!!! What a handsome guy- Our little men are less than a month apart in age- 2005 was a very good year!!!!
(06.05.10 @ 08:08 PM)Happy Birthday,!!!
