Tommy turns 11!!!!

Mark had to work and Rachel had her first (half-day) of school.  But Tori and Tysen came over in the morning to help celebrate.
The "skateboard birthday theme" began!  We gave him the skateboard...

and they gave him the accessories....


Tommy and Tysen spent the whole day outside doing "tricks."
Even in the 110 degree weather!  Every now and they they would jump in the neighbor's pool to cool off.
That night we went to the Fifes with the Downeys and another family, the Cranes, whom we haven't seen since Dental school.  They have four kids, so between us, there were 20 kids!  Even though this get-together just happened to fall on Tommy's birthday, it turned into a great birthday party!

Well, until Tommy got hurt, really bad!  He never really recovered after that.  Trying to get a photo with the birthday cake with him looking happy wasn't easy!
And finally, smiling!
He pretty much had a children's choir sing the Happy Birthday song!

Happy Birthday Tommy!  We love you!
