We had another birthday around here!Can you believe my first born is already 5! It makes me so sad to see how fast time goes, luckily I get to have him at home one more year before shipping him off to school. He has been anxiously awaiting his birthday since Pres had hers. He told me he could do whatever he wanted. He could put his feet on the table, no one could be mean to him, he didnt have to help set the table, he had it all figured out.


Rocs never sleeps with a shirt on anymore, it makes him sweaty, and Pres wants to be be like him some nites and not sleep with hers on!

Breakfeast was green cinamon rolls except for the exception of Presley wanting blue frosting

This was after church! most sundays we hang out in comfy clothes and since its summer I guess Rocs dosent wear shirts all day either!


He insisted on these poses, he was doing kung fu






The dessert request was brownies on the bottom, frosting, then caramel and a race car on top. You ask and you shall receive....... This is my meager attempt at makin him a ramp for the monter truck to drive off. I made homemade caramel and drizzled it on top, it was so rich you only needed a few bites







I love this picture, perfectly puffed cheeks





This was his pure joy! gotta love it









The long awaited pillow pet! he has seen this infomercial many times, I tell ya Nick jr does this so that the kids see it all the time and want it so bad they can hardly stand it. He informed me they are machine washable and they even close so tight you can fit your pajamas inside and go to grandmas house!




Rocco is such a special boy. He has such a desire to do what is right and loves to be cuddled and hugged. He is very smart and loves to do things right. He has a memory that is crazy!!! we were driving to a friends house for the second time and he knew exactly what street to turn down , just from going there one time before. I use that to my advantage sometimes, if I cant remember where I parked , or if I forgot to close the garage. He quotes lines from different infomercials, like pillow pets, but on another occasion I was telling Mike my sink was clogged in the bathroom and Rocs proceeded to tell us all we needed was a long thing you stick down the sink called a snake! He cracks us up daily! He has memorized his first article of faith and is working on the rest. He is so handsome and has the best smile and those little spaces in his teeth just melt my heart.
Rocco is such a good big brother and watches out very closely for Presley, during high school years we will all really appreciate that. I love being his momma and have loved the boy he is growing to be. He can now ride is bike too ,but that is another post coming.

I'm cracking up at the infomercial quoting because my girls were doing the same thing. They tell me how they want bendaroos, I need a steam mop, a snake for the hair clogs, shoes under. I guess thri advertising really works, huh? ...kids are so funny. Happy birthday to your little man :)

Be so glad that you did not send him to kindergarten. This will be one of the best years of your life.
