Guess who turned 6 yesterday?



Joseph is the dragon and his buddy Carson is the knight in this picture from pre-school last year. Aren't they just so cute?

We spent the day together as a family, tooling around Independence, MO and Liberty, MO, taking in the church sights that Andy works on every week. The Independence visitor's center was totally redone this last year and was very interactive. The kids loved it!




Next was a picnic lunch at the park in Liberty, which is a very cute town, and visiting the Liberty Jail. We watched the very touching new movie about the life of Joseph Smith while we were there.





We capped off the night with dinner at Applebee's with an Oreo cookie milkshake for the birthday boy. When the waiters started clapping and walking through the restaurant I looked at Joseph and said, "What do you think that's all about?" His eyes were so big, and he replied,"I don't know!"





Dinner at Grammie's tonight was chicken enchiladas. His cousin Ephraim made him this sign to wear. Notice how he spelled birthday? And the smudge of chocolate cake at the side of his mouth?
Happy birthday, my sweet boy!

An oreo cookie shake sounds so good right now, I saw that and realized that's what I want.

Hi Annie! Thanks for stopping by my rather dismal blog right now and introducing yourself! It is nice to meet you! I love your blog, and it looks like your day was a really busy and really fun one! I look forward to getting to know you better. I am trying to keep up with my blog more often, and I look forward to checking in to yours!

Hi--I saw you note on Pioneer Woman's page and was just wondering if your family was orginally from Iowa. We still call the couch a davenport and have never met anyone else that did so. I've never been sure why we do that and thought maybe it was a local Iowa word.
