Josh's 13th Birthday, A Month Late

A month ago, already, Josh turned 13!


It's hard to believe my little baby boy is a teenager. But he is.


Josh had his three closest friends over for a sleepover party.


The same three friends that have come to his birthday parties since his 9th birthday.


We made homemade pizza. The boys rolled and topped their own crust.




We played games like "pop each others balloons."




And "move the marshmallow to the cup with only a straw."




And "get all of the gummy fish out of the plate of whipped cream."






I thought the boys would be all teenager attitude on me and reluctantly play the games but they didn't. Everyone had a great time playing the games. We even played an hour of Sardines (reverse hide and seek) after the planned games.

In the morning we made a Harlem Shake video. It was all the YouTube rage about two months ago.

After Harlem Shake and breakfast, Walt took all four boys paintballing. They were gone for the rest of the afternoon. Even Walt had a blast doing that!





I think it was a birthday party sleepover that Josh and his friends will always remember.
