Today is Josh's 17th birthday. I am floored to think that he is already that old. He was born on a Sunday morning, in a little cabin in the woods (I had my first two children with mid-wives), and was such a sweet baby. We have been very blessed to have him in our family. Here are some fun facts about our Josh-u-way...
He is a very hard worker.
He ADORES his younger cousins, and they love him, too.
He is an awesome pizza maker.
He is a dare-devil.
He has a sweet-tooth the size of Texas.
He is very athletic.
He loves to act - he can do both dramatic and comedic pieces equally well.
He is a very good video game player.
He has a kind, loving, sharing soul.
He likes to make people happy... even if it means he has to sacrifice to do so.
He loves to wear his hair very short, and it drives him NUTS that his brother likes to wear his hair longer.
He has an infectious laugh.
He is VERY tickle-ish. He used to tickle the insides of his own hands when he was a baby, and just laugh and laugh.
He hates to have his picture taken... and is usually making some sort of face, or posing in a goofy way in every picture I take of him.
He wears his heart on his sleeve, which scares me to death. I am so afraid that some twitty little girl is going to take advantage of that. :)
He loves animals, and when we are at the farm he can usually be found playing with the cats and kittens.
He loves to build things, and use his hands. I put him to work this past summer painting/finishing some tables that my dad made, and he did a beautiful job.
Josh is actually his middle name. His full name is Mykel (prounounced like Michael) Joshua. He was almost a Mykel Anthony, but his dad and I saw the name Josh, and loved it. It fits him so well!
He is looking forward to serving a mission... and hopes that he gets to go Brazil. Why? Because the next World Cup is being played in Brazil, during the time that he will be on a mission! I told him that didn't mean much, he wouldn't be able to go to any games. He replied that he knew that, but he was sure it would be on EVERY TV in the country, so he could at least see what was going on with it now and then. I'm sure that for just for that, Heavenly Father will send him to someplace where TV's are few and far between!
I love you, Josh! Happy Birthday!!
