Happy Birthday Phillip!

Old picture of us- Need a new one!
Wow! I can't believe it! Your 35 years old now. Where did the time go? Phillip is one of my older brothers and the nicest one I have. Not that Michael and Richie aren't nice but Phillip is nicer. Is that even a word? Phillip and I have always been very close and I've enjoyed growing up with him. We are only 13 months apart so we always were around each other in school, sports and everything else. He has always been competitive and was my biggest fan when I ran track and field. He loved to play sports and was very good at any sport he tried. I always wanted to beat in a sport and the only thing I could beat him at was swimming. But believe me it was a lot of work but definitely worth the win. We had many fun times walking home from school together and it seemed to take us forever because we both had big imaginations and would stop along the way to check out our surroundings. Things seemed to be so different back then. I never was scared because I had Phillip to protect me. I wonder if mom ever worried because we stopped at every tree and would try to figure out if what was growing on it was edible. I have very fond memories of our childhood together and man that just seems like yesterday. We both still love food, the only problem is back then we were thin and now well........we have to work hard to keep it off. LOL! Phillip has a big heart and is always thinking about you and is genuinely concerned if you're not HAPPY! He lived here in San Diego, but moved a couple of years ago back home we were born and raised. He seems to adjusted to the move just fine, but I miss him very much! Right before he moved back to Sanger he rented a unit in the same complex as us. So we got to see him often. Those were good times!


Phillip, so today I want to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm so thankful for you and love you very much! Thanks for being a great man and someone I enjoy talking to very much. You made my childhood fun and full of great memories that I often think about. We had a BLAST, didn't we! You're one awesome brother, don't ever change and always keep that tender heart of yours and don't let become hard by the cares of this life. I pray the Lord gives you the desires of your heart. Keep on keeping on! It will be worth it all! Oh, yeah and hurry up and get married! JK! I love you!

We were in Vancouver, Portland, Aurora, Seaside, and Canon Beach. Whew, what a busy schedule we had. It was well worth it though. Oregon is beautiful in the summer and they have such beautiful breath taking sunsets. On the plane ride over to Oregon the twins had a blast and even got captain wings. Way cool! Josh was nervous, which surprised me because he has flown several times. I held his hand and he seemed at ease for awhile. We arrived in Portland and spent the majority of our time at Ezra's

SeaWorld Bay of Play

We got an invitation from Sea World to check out the new kiddie area that is opening up today for members only. The official opening is tomorrow and I can only imagine how packed that area is going to be. The theme is Sesame Street! We were planning on taking the boys, but the weather is very windy and there are chances of thunderstorms. I think we'll visit the Bay of Play another day. On another note, I'm very pleased to hear the children from the Polygamist group will soon be reunited with the mothers. I didn't agree how it was handled and felt horrible for the children. No matter what those are still their parents. I can't imagine the trauma they went through with the militarized police squad showing up on their property and having to endure living with complete strangers. What amazes me even more is the fact that they did it over an anonymous tip that happened not to be true. What a shame! I must admit I have followed this case very closely! I have scoured the Int

Congratulations Michael!

Michael is my baby brother and today I wanted him to know how thankful I am for him. I have wonderful memories of Michael that I will share today. Memories that I will forever cherish. Since Michael was a little boy he has always had a drive to be the best and do his best in everything he put his hand to. He always had a drive to win and if he lost everyone knew it. I still have vivid memories of Phillip another one of my brothers holding Michael at an arms distance by his head with Michael's arms going a hundred miles per hour trying to hit Phillip because he just lost the game. We could see the wrath of Michael coming and we would split as far as we could from him because he would go berserk! It really was hilarious. That is just one of many funny stories I can tell you for now. Micheal has always been independent and very disciplined. He is a hard worker and intelligent! Last week Michael finished with a Bachelor's Degree Majoring in History. He finished it at a private coll
