5 Years Old!

As usual, I am a little slow getting Josh's birthday pictures posted but it has been a busy month! Just before Josh's birthday we said good bye to our 6 mega pixel camera with a 3 times zoom and got a 16 mega pixel camera with a 10 times zoom. I'm very excited to have a camera that can take some decent pictures!
I can't believe Josh is already 5 years old. It doesn't seem like it has been that long since we brought him home from the hospital. We are constantly amazed at how smart this kid is and feel very blessed to have him in our home!
Josh picked a rocket ship cake for his 3rd birthday and still remembers and talks about it. He decided he wanted another rocket ship cake for his 5th birthday. I realized that it wasn't really what the cake was as much as the fact that he got to decorate it that was so neat. So I started the decorating and let him finish it and this is what he came up with!
We had the cousins come over to open presents and have cake and ice cream. He got the hat at preschool when they celebrated his birthday and wore it for a week straight and still sometimes puts it on.
He got a new In-N-Out t-shirt. It is his favorite because he can match his Dad. When Gary is wearing his, Josh sometimes changes into his to be like his dad.
He was excited to get a new bike.
His birthday fell on the week of spring break, so he got to celebrate all week long with his cousins. The week started out with a sleep over at grandma and grandpa's. They were brave enough to have four boys sleep over and the boys had a blast. It was a little strange to just have Connor at home.
Josh got to go bowling on BYU campus with his cousins.
He also got to go to Jumping Jacks with his cousins.
As a family we went on a little hike to the P.
Sydney found a few mud puddles to cool off in. She was not allowed back into the van after that, so she and Gary walked all the way home from the P. Good thing that wasn't very far.
