Birthday Boys!

Hello,

James and I are 4!!! HOorAY! We have had so much fun playing and partying over the last week that I wish my birthday was more than once a year. I have gotten to play at the park and and have parties with family. James and I got a play grill, a pool, toys, books, a big Nerf gun and a whole big bucket of treats...yummm ( just to name a few). Last week we also got to go camping in the back yard and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. We haven't been able to get in the pool yet because it never seems to stop raining around here, but hopefully soon. I love water!!

Thank you all for your special birthday wishes on Sunday and the many more we have received since. We even got to have a special call from our Triplet girl Torie and her grandma great! Torie is home now in Colorado and doing so well, that is a great present all on it's own.

We have been having fun and the summer has just begun. Thank you all for sharing our day with us and we hope you have a very blessed day!!

Love,
Josiah

P.s. Thank you all for your prayers for safety in the storms. We have been very blessed and have had minimal damage. We continue to join in prayer for all those we have lost a lot more!

Hello out there! May 2011

Hello,

I haven't said hello for awhile so I thought I would catch everyone up on my busy weeks. Hope everyone is staying cool in this hot weather. Mommy says that I might get a pool for my birthday so I am hoping it stays nice and warm. Maybe it will be a green one because that is James' favorite color.

I am so excited to be without my mask, I have gone so many places and done so many things. My family and I actually went to a sit down restaurant and I got to eat! It was so yummy and my sisters and James enjoyed it to. Last week my sisters had Field day and we got to go watch them. OF course James and I would of rather been out playing then watching but it was still fun. We even got to have a picnic at the park with my Grandma Dee and Uncle Ben.

Also, I got to go to a Baseball game. My favorite part was seeing the Big Cat and the Fireworks afterwards. It was so much fun.

I did have some Doctor appointments last week... a whole day of them, whew. My Dentist appointment got rescheduled. My appointment was for 8am and I couldn't eat, so after not being able to eat anything for breakfast and they still hadn't seen me by 10:00 I was so hungry! After we got some food I had to go get fitted for hearing aids. They squirted goo in my ear that looks like soft play dough and then it hardens and they pull it out, I didn't like that at all. I did get to pick my colors though, I got a light brown and green sparkles (for James :). Then off to the Ortho Dr. who gave my mom and dad a second opinion on having hip surgery. I don't like Doctors but this man was very nice and told me what was going to happen. I will have to have both hips broke and turned along with my ankles ( because my feet turn out so bad). I will have to be in a cast for up to 6 weeks and in the hospital for 5 days, yuck! I don't like the sound of that. Please pray for Daddy and mommy to make the best decision for my future. The Lord has blessed so far and I am better today than I was a year ago (I have been home from transplant for 1 year...woohoo!) so I know that Lord has my best in mind. If I have this done it will be here in Tennessee and maybe in the late fall so I can enjoy my summer this year. I so love water so I am really hoping for that pool (.. hint , hint :).

I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and I will check back with you really soon!

Love,
Josiah

P.s. I can't forget to give an update on my triplet Torie. She has been home for a while and doing so very well. She is even going to be a big sister soon! Please keep praying for her! www.toriebrady.blogspot.com
