I can't believe that 6 years ago (at 2:23 a.m., to be exact) I was blessed with Isaac Joshua. He changed our world completely! We had a rough start with our colicky baby, but he soon proved his name meaning to be true, "laughter". He would smile at anyone and bring us to tears with the funny things he would do.
Isaac says his favorite things are t.v. and food. Hmmm...
His favorite colors are orange (thanks, Dawn :)) and red. He wants to be a doctor and play the drums when he grows up. He says that he loves his mommy and he's thankful that he gets to go to the campground for his birthday (he's right beside me and says, "Love, Isaac").
I love watching Isaac during church. He takes everything in and wants to understand everything that goes on. He has two Bibles that he takes such good care of and he wants to read from them all of the time. He always asks tough questions that would leave a theologian scrambling for words. At three years old, he asked me if Jesus is still dead. I told him that no, Jesus rose from the grave. I explained it all to him, and I saw such a huge light come into his eyes. Isaac always talks about how powerful God is.
I'm so thankful for Isaac's heart. He always makes sure that we are being taken care of and loves each friend that comes into his life. I can't wait to see the man that he will become.
Isaac, God has big plans for you (baseball :))! Happy Birthday, my 6 year old!!

ISAAC JOSHUA. Laughing warrior. That's what I think of when I think of your name. Did you know that you lived with Gee & Buff when you were a baby for a little while? (Of course, Mommy & Daddy were there, too.) I was so amazed by you. You would just sit and watch everything and just take it all in. You've always been a careful observer. And you've always been great at memorizing things---I think you're a GENIUS! You were very young when you started imitating Finding Nemo. I can't believe you are 6 years old! I'm so proud of who you are, Isaac---and who I know you'll become. I'm especially glad that you love God so much--he is so powerful!! I love you bunches & bunches!
Gee
P.S. You'll make a GREAT doctor and maybe you can play drums at church!
Happy Birthday Isaac! I wish I was there to give you a big birthday squeeze - I hope you have so much fun at the campground!! I miss my orange buddy soooo much! Hugs!

Happy Birthday Isaac!!!!!!! We love you.
Happy Birthday Isaac! I know you will have an awesome time at the campground playing cowboys and indians. We love you and I am so glad I got to spend time with you, but it made me miss you even more. All the kids are screaming Happy Birthday. Even Sadie, it doesn't sound like Happy Birthday, but I think that's what she means. I hope YOU enjoy all your birthday messages ;-)
Amy, I blogged about sweet tea and was told you were the girl who made the best! Do you have a recipe for it? Tamra and I both would love to know. How Isaac's birthday was great!
