Happy Birthday Joshua

Dear Joshua,

I can't believe that my first baby is already 6 years old!  Seems like just yesterday I was holding you for the first time in my arms in the hospital.

You are such a smart boy full of great ideas.  You are a creator, builder, dreamer, and thinker.  You are always looking for ways to improve things. 

You love being outdoors hiking, exploring and catching bugs lizards, frogs and snakes (oh my).  You love camping and I am convinced that you were destined to be a mountain man.  You say when you get older you are going to live in a tent in the mountains. 

You are a big help around the house.  You like to help me bake but I think it is mostly because you like to be my taste taster.  You also love to help daddy around the house and with outside chores.  You also like doing extra chores to earn money. 

You have a big heart and are such a gift giver.  You like to make and create things for other people.

You are also very strong willed, you know what you like and want, and can be very argumentative at times but I wouldn't have it any other way.  These are the very qualities that will take you far in life.  I truly believe that it is people with these traits who will rule and change the world someday.

I pray that you continue to be brave and courageous and use your smart mind to learn about the Lord.  He loves you so much and has great big plans for you. 

We will always love you my big strong boy!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
