Joshua's Birthday Party

Yep It's that time again! Joshua turned three today! Saturday we had a party for him here at the house and WOW was it fun. Not just for Joshua but for us. I think he had the most fun though! He got such a huge pile of presents it was unbelieveable although his favorite that night was a really simple one. One of his friends from church (Jackie Woods) gave him a whoopie cushion and he had a blast getting people to blow it up so he could sit on it and make it poot! I have pictures from his party that I will post here so those of you who were not able to be here can kinda join in the fun!

Here is his cake by the end of the party all but elmo was pretty much gone!

 Joshua and Uncle Jared were having a balloon FIGHT!  We obviously went with a sesame street theme, plates, cups, napkins... Pretty much the whole nine yards!

The candle in the middle was on a little holder that played Happy Birthday! Everyone but Joshua and I hated it!

Here is the man of the hour eating his chunk of Big Bird!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Since it was kinda cold we had him open his biggest gift first!

It's a Ford F-150 with "real" lisence plates that read Joshua!

Momma and Daddy got him the truck. Grampa had the plates made for him!

Here is a pretty good picture of most of the people here for his party not everyone though some people are camera shy!

 (Here's looking at you, JARED!)

Ah yes here we are with the present of the hour that kept him in giggles! The WHOOPEE CUSHION!

And the one that thrills him still (well as long as it lasts anyway!) A whole box of BUG JUICE! Don't ask me why he likes it... I just know he does!

Another favorite his fish light. It is a night light that has a revolving fish scene in it. His Great-Aunt Judy has one at her house and he was facinated with it. Now thanks to Gramma and Ron he has his own to watch! (For which I am profoundly greatful he has quit asking me for an aquarium since he got it!)

I had to put in a shot of him enjoying his Whoopee Cushion! I just had too!!! By the way, his shirt says Major Trouble North Dakota, and for those of you to whom it is not obvious my rotten brother has his fingerprints all over it! Yes, I mean Jared! The reason he is rotten is the other gifts Joshua got from him! A WHISTLE and a ball game. When Joshua unwrapped the whistle I told Jared he would hang! Thankfully it is not a loud whistle so its ok...

Last but not least is his big present from Papa and Mimi! A Piano! Yes, Mom he loves it and plays it daily. Eventually, he will likely start piano lessons and use it to practice. But for now, he pretends to know what he is doing!
