Back when we celebrated Josh's birthday ...

Back then (already a month ago!), we were pretty busy. We had just celebrated Lucas' birthday the weekend before, we had Josh's party on Saturday June 12th, then celebrated his actual birthday on Monday the 14th, then left that Wednesday for five days in New Orleans, then John and Josh were only back a few days before they packed up and left again for Houston for the Giants game. So yeah, it was busy. Things got missed. Things like posting pictures of Josh's birthday. So here they are.

Josh had cupcakes at his birthday party, but of course we needed a separate way to celebrate on his real birthday. Here Josh first spies his birthday "cake":



It's a doughnut cake!! Josh LOVES doughnuts, and especially loves doughnut holes. He loved his doughnut cake!



Look who's 6!



Even Lucas was pretty psyched for the whole thing:

Josh also received his very first personal mp3 player (an ipod shuffle), pre-loaded with all his favorite songs. All his favorite songs are currently the billboard top 10, and his favorite radio station is a channel that ONLY plays the top 10, over and over and over and over. You can get out of the car, shop, get back in, and the same song will be on (again). And now he has them on-demand.

John asked if we could pretend his favorite songs were something cool, like metal. But I reminded him that Josh's taste level is actually quite age-appropriate. As much as we may dislike hearing Katy Perry and Ke$ha ad nauseum, if he were listening to Judas Priest at this age, we'd be driving to therapy.

So here he is rocking out to some Boom Boom Pow, Rock Your Body, California Gurls, I Wanna Be a Billionaire, I'm Only Gonna Break Ur Heart, etc etc etc. I did find "Freestyler" and load it up, so there's at least one we all enjoy!

Birthday Dance Party!!

(see, one day he'll be a metal-head for John. He's already got the horns)
