Happy Birthday to our Hero

Josh "enjoying" his cake?

Kids and cousins celebrating Josh's birthday Chuck E. Cheese style

Another year has come and gone, and Josh is now in his late 30's...ok..maybe still in his mid-thirties for one more year. wink wink...

I think he had a fun birthday (hope so anyway right?). My brother and sister Matt and Amber were here to visit, so we decided that Josh would LOVE an evening at Chuck E Cheese..ok, the kids decided that would be the funnest birthday ever, so we went there. And after all, really you are having fun if the kids are having fun! We called Anna and Peter and boys since they live closeby, and we spread out and did some damage to that old crazy pizza place!

I had a fun time making the chocolate banana cake, I just wish it would've stayed in one piece instead of acting like I placed it on the San Andreas fault line and cracked down the middle. I guess setting a heavy dish on half of one of your layers and squishing it doesn't really help the whole "nice cake" look. But after Amber went at it with about 50 toothpicks, all was well again.

We sure love you Josh, you are the best dad and husband ever, thanks for all you are and all you've helped us become together, as an eternal family.
