HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY TO JOHNNY!

The week before Johnny was born the doctor told me I didn't measure big enough and he wasn't sure if the due date was right or not......well, on June 29th, 26 years ago, a bouncing 8 lb. 12 oz. handsome baby boy was born! How happy John and I were to have a son! Little did we know that Johnny would be the only boy smack dab in the middle of 4 sisters. I think he has kind of enjoyed being the only boy....lots of spoiling and not so much sharing of clothes or bedroom.

We love how you shine, Johnny! We love that you are part of our family. We love all the good things you have chosen to do in life! We love that you and Brittney met and married! We love your enthusiasm for BYU sports......and the zillion and one sports trivia in your head. Thanks for your hard work on the farm....dad and I wish you were here to help now too.....you are always responsible and hard working. Thanks for your kindness to us and your thoughtful phone calls! Thanks for being funny and sensitive and spiritual! Thanks for being handsome and brilliant! Thanks for so many good memories! We are blessed to have you for our son. You are GREAT! In fact, you are our FAVORITE SON!
