3 (22)You can tell that reaching fifty has really matured Roy. 🙂

However, he does have another week to mature. His birthday is actually July 7.

3 (23)Four little “techies.”

3 (25)We sang happy birthday to Jesse first – as this was his actual birthday.

Roy thought that is why he was coming to our house – for Jesse’s birthday party.

3 (26)Nathan used the torch to light candles.

3 (27)Jesse was quite pleased to have a lot of attention on his birthday.
