Josh's Birthday

Josh turned 6 this year. The past 6 years, just like every year so far, seem to fly by and before we know it we’re celebrating another birthday. A lot of big moments for Josh have occurred over the past year: end of daycare, loss of 1st two teeth, start of Kindergarten, etc. It has been a great year of milestones and watching him grow into a young man is awesome! Josh is outgoing, sweet, and so very loving – he is simply a great kid.

This year for his birthday he had a water balloon battle with some friends in the backyard followed by a sleepover. Josh had such a great time. Tim spent hours getting 500+ water balloons filled and set-up for the optimal battle. The battle itself actually lasted for probably 15 minutes, but the kids had a blast. Afterwards, they just played in the sprinklers and slip ‘n slide. We had a pirate piñata and Josh was first to take a swing. In one single hit, Josh decapitated the poor pirate’s head and candy was everywhere. The sleepover was a success and the kids were so well behaved.

The next day, we had the family over to celebrate Josh’s birthday. Josh only wanted to play the egg and spoon game with his cousins and the 3 boys are well, boys and they all competitive. It was pretty funny watching them compete with each other.
