18

My little brother Colby turned 18 on saturday. I can't believe that he is already 18! I remember the day that my parents told us that we were going to have a new brother or sister. It was Christmas Eve when they told us, and a few days before we were at temple square to see the christmas lights. My parents gave me a penny to throw in the pond and make a wish, after I threw the penny in they asked me what I wished for. I told them that I wished for a baby brother, my mom had found out that she was pregnant just a few days before but they hadn't told my sister and I yet. When they told us that she was going to have a baby I just knew it was going to be a brother. I was right of course (I usually am, just ask my husband) and I could not wait for him to get here. When he was a baby I would wake up in the mornings and go into my parents room and get Colby out of his bassinet and just hold him. I couldn't get enough of him. I don't think Colby has ever been in trouble a day in his life. Maybe he just figures that my sister and I into enough trouble and he should give my parents a break. Or maybe he really is just perfect! I don't think he has been late for anything ever in his life, no tardies NOTHING! When parent teacher confrences roll around he isn't sweating bullets like my sister and I used to because there is no reason for him to be in any trouble. Im not sure how he does it but I am so proud of him! He is such a good responsible kid and he is such a good uncle to Jaxson, Gabriel and Ella and they love their uncle "obeey"!

Happy Birthday Colby. We love you!
