Mike is married to Jeralynn, who is Josh's distant cousin. Jeralynn's grandma and Josh's great-grandpa are first cousins. That would make Josh and Jeralynn 3rd cousins-once removed. Jeralynn's parents own a house in Salmon in our neighborhood. While growing up, Jeralynn's family lived there in the summer. During the summers of their youth, she and her siblings grew up helping out on the Corbett and Tolman ranches. So, Jeralynn's family and Josh's family know each other very well, and they are friends as well as family.
Jeralynn and Mike are the parents of four kids, and they are such wonderful parents. They raise their children in righteousness, they teach them to have respect, and they take care of them lovingly. But what I admire most about their parenting style is that they know how to have fun and they take lots of opportunities to have fun with their kids!
Mike loves the outdoors! He is very athletic and he enjoys participating in outdoor activities. Often when he's visiting Salmon, he goes golfing at the Salmon Valley Golf Course. He almost always calls Josh when he goes, and they'll go together. Josh loves having opportunities to golf with others on his home turf!! And whenever we have family get-togethers, Mike rounds up everyone to be involved in an outdoor game--like basketball, or soccer, or volleyball. He takes the lead, and invites everyone to join in. Mike knows how to have a good time, and he is excellent at involving everyone, regardless of their age!
He loves adventures, and he's not afraid to be daring! He excels when he's faced with a challenge! He loves going mountain biking and camping and hiking. He is smart and he's a philosophical thinker. He's very interesting to be with! He almost always has a smile on his face, and he shares his zest for life with others. His optimistic attitude is delightful to be around!
Mike, I appreciate your great attitude and your desire to live life to the fullest. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to spend time enjoying outdoor activities with you! I'm glad that we have the chance every year to hang out. I just love your cute family!

I guess it is fitting I get to be the first person to comment on this blog. I appreciate the high praise from the world's number 1 blogger. I guess I have an image that I will have to try harder to live up to. Thanks.
