Rory turned the the big 5 on Thursday, and since we haven't done a birthday party for any previous birthdays, I thought this year we could do a little something for him. He decided to take three of his best friends bowling and to lunch(we did this the day before his birthday). They all had an amazing time, of course, and I had a great time watching all the action. They were all pretty good bowlers, too! Here's the crew:
Seriously how cute are all these little bowling shoes?
On Rory's actual birthday, we had plans to go to Legoland, but his sister was sick, and I didn't want to leave her at her cousins house, so after a little disappointment, Rory decided he wanted to spend the day at home playing with all of his new toys. He got a new Hot Wheels racetrack and Wii Lego Indiana Jones game from us, and anew Leapster game, Transformer, and a board game from his friends, so he stayed busy. Plus he got to get donuts for breakfast, and then go to his favorite restaurant Island's for dinner with Mema and Grandpa. And on Friday he go to take his friend Gene to the movies, so he had a really fun birthday week!
Mema and Grandpa got Rory a new camera for his birthday, so he's also been having fun with that!
Rory is growing up so fast, I can't believe he is 5 now! In 6 short months he will start school. He is such a sweet boy, full of life and fun. He is currently obsessed with Ninjas, race cars and Monster trucks, Star Wars, and has to be told quite often that he can't karate kick his sister or complete strangers. He loves to play at the park with his friends, and is an amazing bike rider. He is reading and writing, and is a surprisingly good speller. He's full of questions, and loves to talk to anyone that will listen. He loves learning new things, and always catches on quickly. On the morning of his birthday, he was asking us to measure him because he thought the floor looked further away when he looked down, so he was sure he had grown over night! I can't wait to see the things he will do over the next year. We love you Rory!!
