Happy Birthday Joshua!!!!!



Happy Birthday Josh!!! I can hardly believe that you are 9 today!!! It seems like just yesterday I was getting a letter on my mission telling me Josh was born! I didn't get to meet him officially for over a year but I loved getting photos and letters in the mail telling me all about him! I am very proud to be his aunt! He is a great kid! Josh loves to play any kind of sports and is VERY active, he excels at anything he puts his mind to! He adores his dad and looks up to him so much. One time while I was tending he decided to touch the stove after I had turned the burner off from making dinner, while it was still hot mind you. He got a burn on his hand but it wasn't anything too bad (we didn't need to go to the hospital).....I told him to put it under cold water and I would get his some Tylenol for the pain. He would not listen to me at all!!! He insisted that I call his dad and have him tell us what to do. I obliged since I didn't want a hurt unhappy kid on my hands......and lo and behold his dad told him exactly what I had told him! SURPRISE!!! I had to laugh because it wasn't until his dad gave the instructions that he realized I knew something!

Josh is great with the little kids in the family.....especially with his younger brother and cousins. He plays well with them and makes them laugh! He brings a smile to so many people's faces, he is a great people person and makes friends easily. I am impressed by his example to friends at school. He has on many occasions not been afraid to tell his friends about the church or share with them what he believes, he has invited others to activities and he is a great example and good friend to many. I enjoy being able to attend his football and karate on occasion and am proud of the efforts that he makes! It is a blessing to have him in my life!

Have a great day Josh!!! Lots of love!!!

I have to agree......I might be a little bias though. Love you Josh!
