!Feliz Cumpleanos Alberto!

Happy Birthday Alberto! That's what the title says for those of you who aren't EXTREMELY fluent in Spanish, like myself. I actually only remember a few select phrases from my middle school slash high school education in Espanol. I remember "Siga el sendero, hasta el volcan" which translates to something along the lines of "Follow the path, but stop when you get to the volcano" and "tomaduras de pelo" which I thought was the Spanish equivalent of "I'm pulling your leg / just kidding" but Alberto told me it actually just means "pulling hair" and doesn't make any sense as a phrase... at all. Oh well. Anyway, here are some pictures from Alberto's birthday this past Saturday (although his actual birthday isn't until the 21st -- don't forget to wish him a happy birthday on Wednesday!).

Alberto, Cathy, and Alex:

Otrebla the birthday boy!

I think "Otrebla" was Alberto's bowling name (it's Alberto spelled backwards for those of you who are stupid like me and didn't figure that out immediately). My bowling name was "Hot Pants" and I think Cathy's was "Fat Albert" but I don't remember the rest. Wow, I'm good at getting off track.

Alberto's mom made so much delicious food for all of us! We had all different kinds of tacos and tostadas I think. I don't remember if Alberto's mom actually called them tostadas, I don't really know what a tostada is, but I thought it would be a good name to use for the yummy food here even if it's not correct:

Alex and Spencer:

Cathy and I had birthday cake and then tried some flan:

Me, Cathy, Alberto, Spencer, and Alex:

After celebrating Alberto's birthday (although I hear we missed the after-party) Cathy and I went home... well, to Cathy's home. I actually went to my house to find it empty and figured my parent's were having a playdate with Cathy's parents (which they were) so I went over to join in the fun. When we got there, everyone was playing cards:

That's the back of Davey's head, Mike, and Cathy & Mike's grandma.

Mike makes really funny t-shirts:

Cathy, Jake, and I took a "family portrait." I was the Dad:

Jake humped me a lot and left me feeling abused. He apparently really liked my beaded bracelet... what a little freak. I still love him and think he's ADORABLE.

Jake and Me:

That's all. I have Father's Day pictures coming up soon, but until then you can check out Jocelyn's Father's Day Pictures here!
