Well it was finally here... the big day we'd been planning for... (actually Jim did all the planning!). 
Since Josh was born on May 5th, and that was a Monday... we celebrated his first birthday on May 3rd which was a Saturday... and also my birthday.
Since Josh was born on May 5th, and that was a Monday... we celebrated his first birthday on May 3rd which was a Saturday... and also my birthday. The Walsh crew drove in late Thursday night and spent all day with Josh on Friday. The went shopping, cleaned up the house, got my tires rotated and even an oil change. That night we went out to Victoria's for an Italian dinner. It was really really good. We are finding we have reached a mor
e difficult stage with Josh when it comes to going out. He just can't sit still. So if he doesn't have food to eat in front of him... he wants out. So we let him roam around the tables.... walking from chair to chair. The people around us thought it was amusing and would encourage him to keep going. So at least others in the restaurant didn't mind. Saturday was the big day. My mom and sister took me out shopping to get some fun going out tops... we got back to find the 
house all together and decorations all done. We relaxed a little before the party started at 2pm. We had a cinco de mayo theme complete with Margaritas, Corona's, tacos, and of course the only "real" b-day cake around... DQ Ice Cream Cakes. It was a pretty good turnout. Josh was still a little under the weather... but all in all he was a good sport and enjoyed all the company and presents. Ridiculous amount of presents. Our family and friends continue to be so generous!

It was a really good time... we went to one bar on the ave... and stayed there the e
ntire time. It was SO fun to hang out with my sister, bro-in-law (BIL) have fun. We ended the night rather abruptly... when my non-aggressive BIL decided to take care of a very intoxicated guy who kept trying to dance with all the gals... it was quite hilarious... and definitely the talk all the next day. Very amusing.

back at our house. It was a good way to end the weekend. My family took off around noon and then the Kirkwoods hung out until about 1:30pm. We took advantage of the nice day by sitting outside and putting Josh's new radio flyer together. Josh is already showing potential to become an engineer... notice the picture - already telling his dad and g'pa how to put it together.
