Happy Birthday Josiah!

Josiah turned 7 at the beginning of March. He decided that what he wanted to do most of all to celebrate was to go swimming at the hot springs! We weren't able to go on his actual day, but we went the next evening. Brenden stayed with some friends and the other 4 of us had a great time swimming! One tradition we do for the boys' birthdays is let them pick out any box of cereal they want at the grocery store. They love this and think it is a wonderful treat!



Grandpa Mac and Grandma Raine gave him a remote control snake!!! Wow, this has provided a LOT of entertainment in our house these last few weeks! Brenden caught right on that he was supposed to pretend to be afraid of it and runs through the house with his hands on his cheeks screaming at the top of his lungs! Very funny. And then not after a while.



He also received several Transformers, a big hit at our house right now!

Josiah is doing very well in school. He aced his math test yesterday and everyday his math homework is done faster than I could do it! Well, that's not giving him enough credit...but he really gets it done quickly and accurately, even reading the instructions himself! He is still working on the puzzle of reading, but it is coming together nicely. It's a good challenge to him now and he's determined to finish a book whenever he starts one, even if it's harder than he's ready for.


He's such a big kid and helps quite a bit around the house. He'd like to start helping us with medical training by being a patient in our simulations. I'm sure we'll find a place to use him soon and he's quite dramatic about everything, so he'll do great!


He's also quickly becoming an Uno champ!!
