Happy Birthday Joshua!!!

Joshua turned nine and I'm sad in a way because he is not supposed to grow up quick! He is my youngest boy and still sweet and I don't want to loose that. His big wish was his friend birthday party and it was a hoot. So much fun but being that we celebrated early, his birthday went on for a couple of weeks.

Part of growing up is lighting your own birthday candles!

Nine Things We LOVE about Joshua

1. He is compassionate. We watched Radio the other day again and he was sincerely concerned about Radio and how his mother died and how he was put in prison.
2. He is generous. (Shares Lego Universe with Nathan)
3. He loves music. He created his own playlist with music from Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Rocky.
4. He loves the piano and is improving all of the time.
5. He is super smart and loves to do challenges. He has a mind that just seems to "get" things so easily.
6. He is a good friend.
7. He is organized. He keeps his favorite toys organized and takes good care of them.
8. He can be a really hard worker. (Loves outdoor work especially)
9. He takes such good care of his siblings. I love that Rachel loves to cuddle with Joshua or eat breakfast with him. I love that he wants to teach Emily cursive.
