Roen's 11th Birthday...

On May 12th, Roen turned 11!

His birthday always seems to land right in the middle of end of the year activities and this year, he was especially lucky to get to take the last portion of his STAAR test on his special day! 

My mom came to town to help celebrate our happy boy! We started the morning off with breakfast and just one present... which quickly turned into just one more! He got a new TCU Nike backpack, purple crocs and a TCU swimsuit! He even got to have one of his buddies ride along to school with him!

He stayed late after school for his last elementary Chess Club meeting ever! Cici was also able to sneak over our way for the evening, which just added to the excitement! Roen had no idea, but he had a fuzzy furball waiting for him! We let him open all his presents when he got home and told him Remi had made him something and was finishing it out back. Once he had opened all his goodies, Remi tucked baby Benny into a blanket, put her into a bucket, sat her on the front porch and then rang the doorbell. Roen really was speechless and couldn't believe he was finally getting his very own dog!

He had already picked out her name, Benny, from one of his favorite books. He has spent the last year watching Remi bond and train Scout, and it really had given him puppy fever! It was love at first sight, and he has been soaking up the puppy snuggles ever since!

It really was the perfect little day of celebrating our sweet boy!!!

The baby is 11!!! Still doesn’t seem possible. I was so excited to be able to run over and be there on his actual birthday. He’s just smiling from ear to ear in all the pictures. He looks good in his TCU gear, but you know a few shades darker and he’ll look even better…in his Aggie gear 😉. (JK). Miss Benny is precious! Gonna be the best summer…hanging with his best girl!!
Thanks for sharing this special day! Love y’all bunches! 😘
