Back 2 Blogging. Birthdays. Brothers. BETTER!

I've been a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE Blogger!

My last post was Christmas.....

P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C

I know.

The last 4 months have been a complete whirldwind

but I've really missed blogging.

Being able to get things out into actual words

has always been a source of empowerment for me

SO

I'm back

and hopefully I can get back into the rhythm of things

and fill in the gaps :)

BUT as for now

I'll start with this handsome fellow!

It's his birthday today

so I took a little trip down memory lane....

I can't believe its been 20 years

20 years ago today I was blessed with the most wonderful blessing

I could ever ask for.

This boy has kept me on my toes each and everyday.

He's made me laugh and smile

when I thought the tears would never stop.

Although he is no longer a little boy

I will forever cherish the memories he gave me growing up.

Crashing bikes

Fishing ponds

Mudpies

Outdoor bathrooms

Earwigs

a Little LOST boy

Pee wee football

T-ball games

Indoor soccer tournaments

Beach days

Golf beginnings

Toilet Paper brigades

Late night Beto's runs

Roaptrips

Long night talks

Timp Hikes

sneaking out of the house

and everything in between.....

I once heard a quote that went something like this;

The beauty of memories lie not in the ones we can remember

but in the ones which escapes our minds grasp.

How beautiful a life I have

A life full of SO many wonderful memories

that I can't even remember them all.

Watching this little boy

grow into the man that he has become today

has been a blessing that can never be repaid.

I don't know how I ever have or ever will deserve such a blessing in my life

But how grateful I am for him :)

Happy 20th Birthday my dearest brother!

I miss you more than words can say

but there has never been a sister more proud!

I love you

always and forever

xoxo
