My Brother Turns 26!


My brother and I go way back.  You could say since birth ;)  There are so many memories I could talk about here that you all would be reading until next Sunday.  And though the trip down memory lane would be great for me and him if he stumbled over and read this post...I'm sure most folks wouldn't appreciate every one of them!! 

He turned 26 last weekend and his girlfriend Katie, her Mom Bobbi and Step Dad Rex threw Josh a bash of a birthday party!  It was complete with delicious homemade salads, BBQ, and Katie made black bottom cupcakes which I didn't get before I left (Katie can you make some for our next get together?!? They looked delicious!)  It was luau themed and they opened their beautiful home for our family.  Owen enjoyed toddling in the back yard and playing in the grass.  He also met Katie's nephew Noah.  We had a great time meeting Katie's family and just enjoyed a beautiful summer evening together!  I snapped some great pictures, though through this I realized that I am not as good with getting up and snapping photos as I would like to be b/c I only had the camera out in the beginning and I missed some pictures that I would have liked to get!  Either way though, we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves immensely!







For Josh, I'll never forget the flour and sugar fights, the rubber snakes in my sleeping bag, the time we snuck out and walked down the street (and got in BIG trouble), breaking Mom's ornament on the Christmas tree, driving to high school together, going to Prom together (a memory I'll always cherish) or any of the other crazy, fun trouble we got into together!!  I'm so proud of the person you've become.  As Grandma Flo would say, Love you to pieces Little Bro!
