Joshua Turns 9

Josh sure grew up fast this year!  It's been very fun for me to watch him develop his own (very funny) sense of humor.  To see as he begins to think about life, the gospel, his schooling, and people's feelings more deeply and with greater maturity and understanding. To see him gain more coordination and control of his tall, lanky, athletic body.  And to start using a razor.

Just kidding about that last part.

It must not be as exciting for Josh to open his birthday presents because he knows he's just going to get the same stuff Bronson got.  His only surprise is what variation he'll get.  

It doesn't seem to bother him, though.  He still loves his gifts.  Legos are legos, afterall.

He chose to have a breakfast casserole for his special meal.  It was delicious, but we had to eat fast because we were scheduled to teach a Family Home Evening lesson at a nearby assisted living facility.
Here's the birthday boy, getting ready for our lesson.

David introduced our teacher, Bronson.  

He also had the residents sing happy birthday to Josh when the lesson was over. I think it was a sweet and memorable way to spend a birthday evening.    

When we came home from the assisted living facility, Grandma and Grandpa Smith came over for "cake."  

But Josh didn't have cake - he had doughnut!  Regular sized ones for us little people and a GIANT one for him.  Look - I bought candles!
