Joey Turns Five!

Jose and I wanted to celebrate Joey's birthday on the official day, October 21st.  Joey requested to go to Chuck E. Cheese.  Jose was working until 6:30 so we ate at home (I didn't think Joey would eat at the restaurant with all the other exciting things to do).  We all had a great time!  Then, we gave him our presents when we got home. 

Earlier that day, Joey had school.  The first thing he said when he woke up was, "Who's the birthday boy!"  He always brings me laughter.  When we walked into school and saw his class, he announced, "Here comes the birthday boy!"  His teachers were so kind and gave him special priveledges throughout the day.  Joey was excited to bring Spiderman cupcakes to share with his friends. 

The next day, Kathy wanted to celebrate Joey's birthday.  She found a restaurant that would sing "Happy Birthday!" with a candle in a dessert.  Joey was surprised and actually hid under the table.

The only activity I insist on when we visit Chuck E. Cheese


This is a Halloween card Joey wrote for me and Jose.  "Boo!  I love you mom and dad."  I was so proud of him.  He copied the letters, but WOW!  We have come so far.  He was so proud of his work.


Joey surprised by the waiters and waitresses delivering a cake and singing "Happy Birthday" to him.

Pepe has been protective of Joey since Joey was born.


Joey and I made Green Goo with corn starch water and coloring.  Liquid or solid?  We had fun trying to figure it out!
