Swimming lessons in Utah. Joel wouldn't stay on the steps so he'd always be put in time out by his teacher. :)

Joel turns 5 tomorrow. As I was tucking him in tonight I felt an overwhelming love for him from me but also from his Heavenly Father. He is a very special spirit sent to accomplish an important mission. Jake and I have always said, "this kid will either end up one incredible leader or ....he'll end up in jail." :) As you all know (I didn't try to hide it, did I?) it took me awhile to be grateful for this child, but now I love him more than words can say. I'm so glad he's in my life. Soon to come....pictures from the "party of the world."

He’ll be an incredable leader or he’ll end up in jail – that's funny. I love your humor and honesty Melissa! I can’t believe little Joel is five.
happy birthday Joel, we love you!
Oh, our Joel
He is a delightful, funny, insightful soul!~
He helps any party come alive
Today we celebrate that he is FIVE~
