Happy Birthday Kyle!!

Today is my brother Kyle's 29th birthday! This was the nicest picture I could find of us when we were little. (How did my mom get me to sit still and do my hair like that...at only 4??!!) I found a couple really ugly pictures (mostly me) but I couldn't bring myself to post them. Maybe if we have an awkward, ugly phase contest. I would win hands down (my hair and teeth are out of control)! This is one of my favorites from when we are little. Kyle was a cute little boy, I love his dark eyes in all his baby pictures.

My mom is getting all into the blogging and even requested this post (what? she used to hate my blogging habit). I had to laugh about that one. Just wait for your birthday mom, Kyle might have a few requests himself! Here's a list about my favorite brother...

-He and Heidi married exactly 2 weeks after Milo and I were married
-He is smart, the not-open-the-book kind of smart (not fair)
-He served a mission in New York City and loves all things New York
-He is very giving
-He has the best dry sense of humor, he always makes me laugh
-He is going to name his first son after our awesome grandpa
-He was big into rollerblading back in the day
-He is a master at quoting movies
-He loved (maybe still does?) to watch This Old House when we were younger
-He will never give ideas about birthday or Christmas gifts (grrr)

-He loves to ride motorcycles (much to my mom's nervous dismay)
-He is a great husband to Heidi and dad to Kate and ??? on the way
-He is such a great uncle we have 3 stuffed animal dogs named after him!
-He has many reasons to not like me
-Most of them include me being bossy and rude to him growing up
-But I know he loves me and that means a lot
-He hates, really hates, getting his hair cut
-And he hates getting his picture taken too.
-He thinks I'm weird because I like to use my camera
-He roots for the underdog
-He has a killer memory
-He makes up good stories and I believe him. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS fall for his trickery; hook, line and sinker!!

-He loves to farm and dreamed of being a farmer when he grew up (like our grandpa)
-Instead he married a farmer's daughter and works for him whenever he gets the chance
-He has a master's degree and finished it even when his job said he didn't need to
-He has a strong testimony of the gospel
-He will do what is asked of him (even if he doesn't want to, like move people)
-He is my mom's favorite...(kidding, it's a family joke)
-He is the best brother I could ever ask for and I have always looked up to him! Love you and

Happy Birthday Kyle!!!
