May is a full month for us. We celebrate to big
birthday's within a couple of days.
From the time
The Darlings were babies...we have tried to make
birthdays extra special!
I was in the hospital
giving with a newborn baby Rooster, while we not
only celebrated the new
addition to our family...
buy also the birthday of The Farmer.
The Rooster
and The Farmer are two peas in a pod...The Farmer
often looks at him and says...
"that's just what I
looked like when I was his age."
Or...when The
Rooster finds his way into a little mischief...
The Farmer understands all too well. He was a
boy that was mischievous too.
Anyway...it's pretty
great that their birthdays are so close!
(The Rooster and Grandma Christine)
The Rooster began his day with his favorite breakfast,
waffles with fried Spam...
yep...that's right!
The waffles were topped with LOTS of whipped cream.
He opened a few gifts...some cologne so we would smell
delicious...
some pop tarts...some oreo cookies...and
some really awesome socks!
Later in the evening he
got his "gift" from The Farmer and I.
After he left
for school, I got busy and started lunch for the cousins
and friends at school.
It has been a really fun tradition
that we have enjoyed since The Aggie Boy began high school.
The Rooster chose Spaghetti and Meatballs, salad, vegetables,
garlic toast
and a Pastel del Tres Leches for his cake.
Lunch with the kids is always so fun! It is something I really
enjoy!
Grandma Christine was sweet to go along with me...and I
might add...
very beloved by her grandchildren. Later in the evening
The Rooster opened his
official gift from The Farmer and I, which was
Scuba Certification!
He and The Farmer will get certified together and
very soon...
taking some wonderful trip together to do a little "diving."
