Wow 5 years ago on June 27th, Tolkien Ray was born!! Its sooooo hard to believe that he is really a big boy now, not a baby, not a toddler, not a little boy, but really a Big Boy!! Wow.. its amazing how fast time has flown by!!

We had a wonderful birthday weekend, thank you to all of our wonderful birthday wishes over the phone, and thanks to all who came and celebrated with us!!

Tolkien got to visit a fire station the day before his birthday and got to do lots of fun things, and then we had a wonderful sports themed birthday party !! Enjoy the pics!!
