Happy Birthday Joshua!

Don't you just love this kid?


Were does the time go....Joshua, my baby, is 7 years old.

We had a fun and crazy family celebration this year. We were SO busy this weekend and Joshua's birthday kind of got jumbled in with everything else we had to do. We had the missionaries for dinner on Friday night, so we decided to do cake and icecream with them. They ended up being held up at an appointment, so at 8:00 we decided to eat with out them. The boys didn't care how late it was, they just wanted cake. Joshua wanted an "army tank" birthday cake.....I tried!

On Saturday we got up and opened presents. He was SO happy! His smile says it all. We then went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, per Joshua's request. Joshua feasted on pancakes, pancakes, bacon, eggs, and milk. Since it was General Conference we didn't do much else during the day. The boys did have fun playing with Joshua's new toys and putting things together. In between sessions we had a baptism. A family in our area was baptized. Jared baptized two of them. It was a great experience.

The boys were such great sports and didn't complain at all about there Saturday being full with "not so fun" things. Later that night Joshua, Nathan and I went to see the movie, "Witch Mountain" (Great movie, very intense). Joshua did say it was the "bestest birthday ever", although I think he says that every year. I guess I am doing something right!

Happy birthday Josh! They grow so fast. Looks like he had a great time, and good job on the cake Hillary! I always try to make my own cakes but they never turn out as cute in real life as in my head. I need to get a master birthday list with everyone's birthdays...I keep missing them!

I would not expect any different response from Josh regarding how he felt about his birthday. What a fun day. I am very impressed with the "tank" cake. You all look like you are doing well. Miss you!
