Happy Birthday Philip

On December 30, 1993 at 2:15 a.m.

Philip Charles joined the Shuler family.

Weighing 7lbs. 1 oz and 19 3/4 inches long.

Here he is, one day old, laying in Grandma Bobbie's

doll cradle.

We thought he was going to be a Christmas baby

but he decided to wait a few more days.

I hope you enjoy a few pictures of Philip's

growing up years with a few comments

here and there...

Philip has always loved to eat. Here he is at

a Church picnic in Pocatello, ID where the

people nicknamed him "Boo", because every time

they would show up to Church, he would pop

out and say, "Boo!"

It was not uncommon for Philip to pass out

after lunch... Sometimes he couldn't wait

until lunch was over.

Super Phil in Metropolis, IL.

Philip's first time meeting Bro. Dewayne Smith,

in fact it was a first for us all. Bro. Smith came, we

had an emergency with a Church member, and

we left him with all of the kids. They got to know

each other real well.

The band JFJ (Jump For Jesus)October 2003 Philip joined The Church of God.

When Philip was about six years old, he asked

Bro. Kevin Werkheiser if he could marry his daughter.

Here he is with Ashley Werkheiser...

And, no, they are not married, nor are

there any pre-arrangements... Even if they

do make a cute couple.

Look at their excitement as they

see Ruby Falls, 2000 feet below

the surface...

And now Philip is a man...

He has signed up for

Secret Services

(code for Selective Service)

In Novemeber, of this year, Philip recieved his

lay minster's license. He has been traveling

with his Dad and brother for the past

seven months, preaching and singing...

We are so proud of the great young man he

has become. It is so hard to believe that 18 years

has already passed.

Happy birthday Philip!

I love you! ~~Mom~~
