Celebrating Rufus' First Birthday---The Big Party!

Yesterday was Party Day and oh, what a wonderful time we had!

Family from Miami, West Palm Beach and even Maryland, were in attendance to celebrate Little Rufus' and Big Rufus' birthdays. Little Rufus was born on April 5, 2006 and Big Rufus will celebrate his 56th Birthday on April 28th...so in celebration I ordered a special cake with a beautiful picture of the two of them..

...together last Sunday on the way to Easter Sunday service. But that picture would be the last picture of Rufus with his full head of hair because we surprised everyone at the party with little Rufus sporting his new hair cut from his cousin Greg--




Here's Rufus with his Grandparents on his very special day! Doesn't he look like such a big boy with his new haircut?


We had more than 50 people singing "Happy Birthday" to the Birthday Boy as he got ready to dig right into his very own little birthday cake.

He didn't quite know what to do with icing on his hands...so we got him cleaned up and ready for round number 2 after the singing had ended.

The party started at 3pm yesterday and is still going on right now! I'm tucked away in the office writing this post while my in-laws entertain those who stayed over last night and those who stopped by today to wish Little Rufus a happy birthday. There's plenty of food along with ice cream left over but I'm afraid all the birthday cake is GONE!

We're all still trying to recover from the busy day with both Rufus and Rhadi down for the count...taking naps...getting ready for their next wind.


So you see, Rhadi and I had the most wonderful time with our family and friends yesterday as we spent with day and evening with the most precious gift of all....our son!



Thanks for sharing in our special day!

From Traci---better known as Rufus' mom!

  • Hi,
    I was hoping the Rufus Ferguson in your blog is the same that played for the Badgers. If so, I would like to ask a favor.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Do you think he would sigh a hat for me if I was to send it with return postage? (A Christmas present for a Badger fan)
    Thanks again for your time.

    Say Hey Rufus The Roadrunner
    You don't know me, Les Bystrom, but I was a member of the First Graduating Class in 1968 and lived just down the street from the school at 104th st and 97th ave.
    I posted some pic from my Catamount on my facebook page and received an inquiry today as to what ever happened to our Roadrunner, which my dad had a new red 1968 Roadrunner when I graduated by the way so here we are.

    Good to see you and Lord Bless.

  • Hey Rufus, you don't know me, Les Bystrom, but I graduated Killian in 1968 with you.

    I lived just down the street from the school at 104th st and 97th ave.

    My Dad actually had a Red 1968 Roadrunner when we graduated.

    Some guy on facebook asked about a page I posted from my Catamount so I went looking for you and here you are.

    God Bless you and yours.
