Amelia's Missionary Tags

With Lia starting her mission doing home MTC, I guess I should've figured her missionary tags would come in the mail, but we were not expecting them when she opened the package on Josh's birthday. As soon as she pulled them out and showed them to us we all cried. I don't want her to go, but I am so proud to have a missionary representing Jesus Christ in our family!

Josh's Birthday

Josh celebrated his 15th birthday by getting his learner's permit and going to race go karts again (I think this was the third year in a row?). He proudly showed everyone his permit for months after he got it. He even talked about it in a sacrament meeting talk. He was so excited and wanted to drive everywhere! And, he's a super good driver so I don't mind him driving everywhere. It's been a great way to spend time with him.

Josh is so fun. He has a really great sense of humor and is so helpful. He's also grown A LOT and is now taller than Nate. He is really smart and and is always reading or watching videos on you tube to learn how things work. He's also really committed to getting good grades in school and playing his guitar and is an awesome guitar player. He loves his flannel shirts in the winter and mountain bike shirts in the summer and his one and only pair of shoes (that are waterproof)--his Vessis. I'm so grateful for all he does to help our family and for all that he adds to our family. We love Josh!
