The other week Ben and I took a trip down to Wichita to celebrate my brother's birthday. Sadly Ben had to work that evening so when it was party time, Ben missed out :( But we had a such a great day hanging out with Michael and being able to just celebrate with him.
It's crazy to think that my little brother is all grown up.. and what a incredible man he turned out to be. He loves the Lord with all of His heart, and seeks his will every day. He loves his incredible wife so much, and would do anything for her, and He loves his family! We are a close family. Sure we have had our hard times, but it's what bonded us together. Michael is one of my best friends! I know that I can go and talk to him about anything, I know that he will give me godly advice and talk me through things, so I don't go to crazy :)
Michael I am so proud of you and who you have become!! I can't wait to see how God blesses you and Allie in the years to come! You are someone that I admire, and I love you so much. Happy Birthday Lil Bro !!!

| Whenever Michael and Matthew are together there is always some type of competition going on haha...this time they were racing down the street to see who could get to the driveway first to win. |

| So on our way to my parent's house we packed 2 grown men, a 6ft 7in Soph guy, a girl, 2 full grown dogs and a min pin in one xterra.. haha it was definitely an adventure!! |

| Of course Matt got the smallest dog in the vehicle |

 |
| This is super gross, but after our nature walk (which we stayed on the path FYI) we came home and Marcus felt something crawling on him so he flicked it onto the ground.. we thought it was a spider at first but after I smashed it a few times with my shoe and it wasn't dying, I looked closer to find out that it was a TICK!!! |
 |
| This was before the mass chaos in the xterra with the dogs trying to play musical chairs while we were driving. |
 |
| A great way to end a wonderful day ! Beautiful scenery!! |
