I can't believe it has been eight years since Joshua came into our family. Today was Joshua's eighth birthday, and what a birthday it was! We spent all week designing and planning and shopping for the cake, not to mention the two days of actually baking and putting it together. After church we spent time in his new wolf cub scout book and finished up his bobcat rank. Grandpa Jaussi came down and had dinner with us, and then the Barlows came over for cake, ice cream, and presents. What a fun day! Joshua was thrilled to get his own set of scriptures along with a cool camo case. He also got some really neat toys and a book light so he can read in the night when mom and dad have told him to go to bed.
Joshua wanted a kung fu cake so we decided the easiest design would be a yin yang symbol One half was a chocolate mint chip cake with mint frosting, and the other was a white cake with chocolate frosting. The dragon I sculpted out of marshmallow fondant.
Joshua, I am so glad to have you for a son. You are a sweet and genuine boy. Thank you for giving me sweet hugs and kisses, and always wanting to share your news and adventures with me. You are such a good brother and a great helper. I love your sweet smile and your quick laugh. Happy birthday!
