Somebody's Ten!!!

Well, we just finished celebrating another birthday at our house.  Our oldest son Josiah turned ten!  He liked the strawberry cheesecake ice cream cake his sister Julia had so much that he decided he would get the same.  We had them change the icing to blue to make it look a little more manly.  But, of course, when something tastes that good, who cares what it looks like?

He chose for his birthday dinner, chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese and pasta salad.  He is a big fan of noodles and cheese. 

This is one of the few times Julia is motivated to eat...when dessert follows.  She knows she only gets dessert when she eats her meal.  Joel is waiting patiently for the cake...I never have to tell him to eat.

I actually decided to get in a picture this time.  Sometimes when you are the one taking pictures you forget to put yourself in some.  Here I am with my sweet birthday boy.

Daddy getting ready to cut the cake for us.  Remember he always cuts big pieces, so the children prefer him to be the official cake cutter.

A very happy Josiah with one of his presents...this one from his Nana.  These are from Vision Forum...it is a military patrol boat and they are compatible with Legos.  We got him a Jeep and a couple of men that go with the set and a video, "Soldiering Through History: The War Between the States."  Josiah is our military historian.  He can already far surpass his mother with facts about battles of all kinds.  I have no idea how God is going to use that knowledge, but we are excited to see how He does.   Happy birthday Josiah.  We love you!
