Happy Birthday, BJ!

Happy Birthday to BJ, our firstborn son! We were so excited to become parents and were thrilled with our little boy. This year is kind of a repeat of how it was 34 years ago. He was actually born on Monday, June 13, 1977 and the next Sunday was Father's Day. We lived in Boise, ID at the time and didn't really know too many people in our ward, but we were excited to go to church anyway to show him off. So, we took him to church for the first time when he was 6 days old.

He has always been an obedient, kind and patient member of our family and we're so proud of all that he is accomplishing. He's a wonderful husband and father. He doesn't wait to be asked to do something - he just does what needs to be done without complaining. When he left on his mission, I realized that I lost my best kitchen cleaner! We're so happy that he now has 3 children of his own, thanks to two very wonderful mothers, who sacrificed and thought of their unborn babies before they thought of themselves - and a wife who had little Hannah in March.. We love you, BJ and hope you have a happy day. Thanks for being such a wonderful son.
