Josiah turns 6!

Josiah turns six today!  WOW!  How time flies!  He has grown so much and has matured (as much as a little boy does in a year) since last year...and even previous years.  That "wild" little 3 year old has settled down (some) and is an amazing six year old (not that he wasn't amazing before).  He loves nonfiction books; mostly animal facts.  He also loves maps (don't ever try to take a zoo map away from him), drawing/coloring/writing, and animals.  (A new show he likes to watch is The Crocodile Hunter.)  And coloring?  When Josiah was younger he had no interest in coloring at all, seriously.  Now, he loves it.  Josiah is a complimentary kid, which I love.  He loves school and learning.  He has branched out of his comfort zone at school and has tried pancakes, gingerbread cookies, chocolate on graham crackers, a hamburger (at home, though).  We are proud of him!  He is getting so big.  I'm sure I'll blink and he will be taller then me.

This past Saturday we had his birthday party.  It was a shark theme!  Here are some party pictures:

Josiah's shark cake.

Love this picture!

Our shark craft:)  Ryan did an excellent job cutting out the teeth.

We decorated shark cookies at the party with icing and sprinkles. YUM!

Mercy and Liam were very content spreading the icing on their cookies:)

Aedan caught some gummies! 

The kids loved this game.  Josiah said it was his favorite.

Vivian was behind the wall putting the gummies on the line.  She also had a spray bottle and was spraying mist on the kids.  It was awesome!!!

Pin the dorsal fin on the shark game!

Happy Birthday Josiah!!  Cake time~
