Joey's 6th Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Joey!

A warm (but a little windy) summer day. Great for some water sliding fun!!! Some friends of our let us borrow this great slide for his party and it was a HUGE hit!

Joey with some of his good friends Ian and Sawyer.

Like I mentioned earlier, it was windy... :)
Poor baby! I should be getting him a towel, not taking a picture!

Pizza and corndogs...mmmm

Present time! Great face!!!

He's very much into Legos right now. He got so many sets. (That means hours of keeping busy!)

He really wanted a Star Wars cake. I spent hours on this thing. (Hopefully you can tell that it's R2D2) It was well worth it though. Through it's progression Joe would come into the kitchen and get more and more excited with every section I got done. When I was done I got the all coveted, "You're the best mom EVER! Thank you!!!" With a big hug. I'd do it again too.

Jess cutting the cake...almost painful for me to watch.

Where does the time go? The years fly by and I want to remember everything. Sadly, I don't. But Joey, you are the coolest kid. You're so smart and witty. Always finding new words to add to your vocabulary. ("Flabbergasted" will always be my favorite.) You find joy in a quiet moment to yourself, but this past year you've really found your "boyness". You get hurt a lot more than you used to, but I'm glad to see you being brave. We love you buddy! Hope you had a fun day!
Love Mom and Dad
