Bonus Friday

Last Friday I was crazy sick and couldn’t be bothered with Fun Friday Favorites, so to make up for it, I’m posting SIX favorites today.

Really, I’m posting six today because I have six brothers and they are some of my most favorite people in all the wide world.

Every time my mom went to the hospital to have a baby (this was back before dirt and ultrasounds), I would pray and pray that she would have a girl so I could have a sister.

Every one of those times, my dad would call and say, “Sorry, sweetie, it’s a boy.” He wasn’t sorry – he was glad, but he knew I would be disappointed. And I definitely was.

But I’m sure glad now.

My brothers are six of the best men I know – for a multitude of reasons – they are funny, smart, kind and excellent men.

Here are a few of the great things about my brothers:

1. They like movies like The Burbs and Murder by Death
2. They like to fish and golf and hang out together
3. They are all talented, creative and musical
4. They remember most of the stupid/funny things we all did growing up
5. They are good to me and would break anyone’s neck who wasn’t
6. They have brought sisters and 12 beautiful children into our family

Love you, boys!!
- From your FAVORITE sister :)

Beck I love that picture. I am posting it on my blog. I cannot get over how much Taylor looks like Nate. You are so blessed to have the boys & I know they would do more then just break someones neck, they would walk through fire for you. So would all of us sisters.
