The Brower Bunch

Today I get to celebrate one of my best friends .  My sister, Laurel.  24 years ago my little sister was born.  As a 4 year old, I am sure I was incredibly excited to be getting a new baby sister.  Sure, I loved my little brother, but isn't that every little girls dream?  To get a baby sister so that all throughout our lives we could play dress up, make up, house, school, Barbies, etc.?!?!  Well, that "dream" didn't exactly turned out the way I wanted.  And, if any of you know Laurel, then you know exactly what I am talking about.  Sure, she would play those things with me every once in a while.  She was really good at ALWAYS letting me be the teacher.  :)  I thank her for that!  But, if you know Laurel, then you know that she would have much rather been outside, playing in the dirt, or playing baseball, or soccer, or football with my Dad and brother.  She was a FUN kid.  She loved others and loved to beat up on he...

This last weekend was great.   Family and fun.  Just what I love. My sister, Kylie just turned 8 years old, so she got baptized on Saturday.  I can't believe how big she is already.  She is such a sweet little girl.  We are so glad that she is in our family! Saturday night, I played around with Bauston and Kohen and got some cute photos.

Last week we had a really nice day, so we walked down the street to our little neighborhood park.  The kids laughed and laughed.  I love those moments with my family.
