The boy king turns 14!

Cows, tractors, chickens and barns...these are just a few of the things that have been filling the mind of the youngest in the family lately! So in honor of his birthday we tried our best to accommodate his interests and make his 14th birthday a special one.


Christianna designed and decorated (along with some help from Mom) this Jersey cow cake!


The farmer boy and his cow!




For dinner we made his favorite meal (when he was younger he used to help cook and this was his meal) of "Pigs in a blanket", baked beans and jell-O.

Opening gifts! Another one of his past times is puzzle-ing!

Josh was the photographer for this event and was snapping pictures...

...of the gift givers and receiver.

We don't believe in dating...but Josiah sure breaks that rule as he would love to have a date everyday! ;-) Charity's gift to him was a whole box of pitted whole dates!

Remember this picture? Christianna created this friendly fella in a fun way to present several of the gifts at the end of a treasure hunt she made for Josiah. The farmer boy is now all set to dress in style in his brand new overalls, flannel shirt and straw hat.

Happy Birthday Josiah Thomas!

May God bless you with many more years to come and may He give you courage to stand up for His Word, be a true man of God and live for His glory!

Love you little brother!
