NUMBER 8


Johnny's 8th birthday is today and I honestly do not know where the time has gone! Kelley and I still talk about his birth and how it only seems like yesterday that we were commenting on how big his hands were when he came out those 8 years ago. Little did we know that the size of his hands were no match for his large caring heart. Our little guy is the most fun loving care free kid we know and we could not have asked for a better kid to lead the family. He is trustworthy, very helpful (our gopher for about everything), caring and just down right a nice kid. Greg Carver keeps telling us to get him into football but I don't think he has in him the ability to potentially hurt another kid (unless the other kid lays a hand on Mitchell then watch out). He is to sweet of a kid and just wants to play with his brothers or Mitchell. We are so excited for him to get baptized with his cousin Mitchell in a few short weeks. Thank you Johnny for being such a tremendous son and brother to your family. We love you so much and are so thankful you are a part of our lives. We hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Love, Mom and Dad

I LOVE Johnny!!! He IS such a nice, kind hearted little thing! I'm so grateful that he's in our family... I love when he gives me hugs and I love to watch him with Caroline and Elizabeth, he's always nice to them and he protects them when other kids aren't being so nice. Everyone has a friend in Johnny! Happy Birthday Johnny!! I'm so proud that you're going to be baptized!

Love, Aunt Jill

Little John,

You are one of the greatest of my more than 88 great grandchildren. I am so happy that on this very special birthday you have made a choice to get baptized soon. Listen carefully to the Holy Spirit that you will always be able to have with you after that. Love you and am anxious to see you when you come again. Your Grandma B

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best nephew and cousin that anyone could ask for! I remember when Johnny was just a little blond baby playing in his diaper in the 13904 backyard with Mitchell. You guys loved to dig in the sandbox and pee-pee really high and far across the yard! It has been so wonderful living around you and watching you grow up. You have always been such a sweet and kind boy especially when it comes to Mitchell. He loves you so much and says you are his best friend in the whole, wide universe. Thank you for being such a good cousin to all the grandkids--they really look up to you and know that you will help them and watch out for them no matter what. It's a big year for you--getting baptized! That's awesome. I hope you continue to be happy, make good choices, and love life. We are all so glad that you are part of our family and want you to know how much we all love you over at the Markoff house. XOXO
