Pics from Joshua's Birthday

Joshie turned 5 years old on June 19. We had a whole month full of celebrations, which is typical for us this time of year. Joshua wanted to go to the science museum for his birthday, so we took the kids and Joshie's friend Nicolas and enjoyed the day at Balboa. When we got home it was time for his birthday dinner (macaroni and cheese, pizza, and bell peppers), presents, and cake. I was pretty proud of the way his Angry Birds cake turned out :) He liked it too.

 This is my typical snuggly boy. He loves to rub his face all over mine. I didn't know you could snuggle with faces til I had Joshua. He looooves his mama! (Lol...As a side note, Seth recently said that when he sees Joshie snuggling with me he feels like he's watching a Greek play.)

Earlier in the month we took the kids to Ikea for their free monthly bday party for kids having birthdays during the month -- so all the kids got to go, and as birthday boys, Joshie and Eli both got presents. Eli got a stuffed doggy, and Joshie was given a big package of paper and markers with stamps on the end -- perfect since he had just recently gotten on a drawing kick. Hannah and Joshua loved getting their faces painted and watching the magic show, and Eli pretty much ran around the whole store (which is a big, big place!) during the party, and would only sit still when it was time for cake. Of course.  

(I know it doesn't look like it, but I promise they are having fun.)
