Happy Birthday Rook

Rook turned 5 today! This morning when Carter woke Rook up to open his presents, Jared said, "Happy Birthday Rook, you are 5 now!" Rook took off to the bathroom and said, "Let me see." I heared him drag out the scale and jump on. He yelled back , "Nope, I am not to the 5 yet!" I guess he thought the scale told our age and not our weight.
He got some awesome gifts from us and cousins and his friends. I asked him what his favorite present was and he said that they were all his favorite!
We decided to take the boys bowling. We had a Great time. It took most of the time just waiting for the ball to actually get from Rook's hands to roll down to the pins.
Hooray! It f-i-n-a-l-l-y made it down there.
I guess Rook had too much fun. Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to Rook! Maybe he'll hit the 5 on the scale by the time he turns 6.
Looks like Rook got worn out bowling. It wears me out, too!

Fun birthday story. You'll have to write it for him so he can read it when he gets older. They love little funny stories about themselves. May I just say that taking little kids bowling was one of the truly painful things I remember about having little kids. I can't remember for sure who we went with one time, but I think it was your mom and I taking all of our kids. We went in the afternoon and by the time we got out of there it was dark. And we had only bowled one game. We didn't do it again.

that's right. I forgot about that bowling trip. We were snowed in from school, so I took the kids to town to go bowling. I didn't rent any shows for myself, thinking I wouldn't be bowling. Then, when I proceded to show you kids how to bowl, I fell right on my back, and let you figure it out from there. Sorry, Millie.

Happy Birthday Rook. How fun. I'm glad the scales doesn't tell our age. We don't live that LONG! Sounds like a fun B-Day!
