looks like I will be an aunt again in september :)

Recieving this picture from Melissa on Saturday could not have made my break any better and now I get to spend the rest of it with these awesome kiddos! 

20

It is hard to believe that my brother is turning 20 today. Time flies so quickly. Just a couple of days ago I was 5 and he was 10 and we were playing baseball in the backyard during the summer. Now I am 15 and he is 20. Even though it has gone all too quickly I have enjoyed growing up with him. He is the closest sibling in age to me so we did a lot of things together and still do! I love the man of God he is. I love how he cares so much for me. I love that he is always watching out for me. He is a one of a kind brother and I love him. I can't say that our relationship hasn't gone without the ups and downs, but through it all he is the most amazing brother in the whole world!

I love how joyful he is

I love how he loves his siblings

I love how he loves his nephew. (I think this is the cutest pic, they are just adorable)

I love that he was in a class with 10 other girls and he never complained about being the only guy.

I really love how he loves Little Ross

 He loves me more than I could imagine

 He loves our grandparents and will forever read the comics they save for when he comes over

Have I said he loves his nephew already? He really really really loves him!

He likes going to starbucks and playing scrabble. That would have to be one of my most favorite things to do with him :)

Jere I love you and wish you the happiest of birthdays. You really are one of the most amazing people ever! I love you to the moon and back <3
