"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Happy 28th Birthday

Josh had a birthday today and our house was full of excitement! The kids love it when someone has a birthday. After we celebrate one birthday we have to figure out who is next on the list for a birthday and then they get all excited for that one as well as the one we just celebrated. Kids just make life so much more fun, I cannot imagine life without them it would be pretty boring. I tried to make his birthday special, I sure hope it was.

We gave him a yummy chocolate cake

His Mom made him not only one but TWO banana cream pies…his favorite! You would have thought he won a million bucks when he came home with those, he was so excited to eat a piece!

Me and the kids gave him a fun new toy, a helmet camera so he can video his motorbike races. I am excited about this because when he rides the trails I am only there to say goodbye and take a picture but I never get to see where he goes when he heads up to the mountains so this will be fun for us to watch. I think he was pretty happy with it. I know it is something he has always wanted and never would have bought it for himself so I got to do it for him :)

Josh got out of one his old helmets to see how the camera fit onto the helmet and he had to try the helmet on his boy, so cute!

I made him this frame with a picture of him with each of the kids, for the kids to give to him. The kids loved it and so did Dad!

Me and my little helper Kenna tried making a collage with a picture from each motorbike race Josh had rode in. We hung them in his office, he loved it! It’s hard to see but right in the middle is a picture of our whole family at one of his races…he couldn’t have a better cheer squad :)

And then later my brother and his family came over to bring a gift and ate some cake and ice cream. It was nice of them to stop by and the kids had fun playing…and eating cake!

Then he had to go to work on the night shift :( I hope it was a happy birthday for him.
