Happy 7th Birthday Roo Bear

We celebrated Roo's 7th birthday this weekend. For his birthday on Friday we spent the day together as a family. We sang happy birthday to Roo first thing in the morning and let him open a few of his presents, and he was super excited that Bug gave him two Ultra Magnus Transformers that he has been wanting very badly!

We went to Wegman's for breakfast and let them each pick out what they wanted to eat. Then we went to the movies and saw Planes, which we all really enjoyed. After that we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house and enjoyed cupcakes and more presents; a super awesome r/c speed boat he can drive on the lake. We stayed at their house for a bit and then went home and had dinner at the neighbors house. It was another dock building weekend so dinner was a good break for Daddy.

When we got home after dinner, Roo took a few phone calls from family members and enjoyed their happy birthday wishes. He opened his gift from Grammie and PopPop and was excited to see it was a Kreo Optimus Prime with trailer.

Roo woke up early on Saturday to begin construction of the trailer and we spent most of the day having fun inside. Once the men were done building the dock, the kids went swimming and Roo got to paddle in his new kayak we gave him for his birthday for the first time. He loved it! We had dinner at home and the excitement for his birthday party continued to build.

Roo got up early again on Sunday and continued building his Optimus Prime. He and Bug eagerly awaited for his birthday party to start and all his friends to show up. Once they did, it didn't take long before they were all enjoying the lake. It was raining in the morning but we really lucked out with a clear afternoon!





After the lake, the kids enjoyed pizza and cake and playing a bit. Then Roo opened his gifts and was so excited about everything his friends and family gave him. And he read every card out loud, he certainly wasn't reading last year!







He really had an awesome weekend and said it was his best birthday ever. We still can't believe he's 7 already! What happened to our little Roo Baby?! He's still our cute Roo Bear who we love with all our heart! Happy Birthday Roo Bear!!

Little Orange Kayak

For Roo's birthday we got him an orange kayak. Daddy wasn't so sure about the idea at first but I insisted and Roo loves it. And so do all his friends. He loves it so much that he agreed that we should get one for Bug, we just need to figure out what color! Happy kayaking!
