The Silliest of Siblings



"Sibling are the people we practice on, 
the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation
and kindness and caring, quite often the hard way."



Logan.
[AKA: Loggie, Log, Bud, Punk] 
     Logan is my little brother, don't let his 6' statue fool you, and I can't believe how much he has grown in a blink of an eye. I remember the days I attended "The Big Sister" classes leading up to his birth and how happy I was to have a baby brother to play with and take care of. The time Logan was upset that he wasn't getting hand-me-downs so my mom dressed him up in some of mine. All the Halloween nights we spent trick or treating together through the neighborhood. All the vacations we took as a family. The proud night I watch  Logan receive his Eagle. The tickling fights that included the whole family. 

He continues to amaze me with bubbling personality, his devotion to earning more Merritt Badges, and the strong testimony he is building. It's hard to believe my baby brother is growing up, growing up to a young man who is hopefully serve a mission for the Lord. 

Logan is a great pain-in-the-butt, hilarious brother & I can't wait to see what he's great things he'll accomplish.



Jordan.
[AKA Jojo Bean, Josephine, Baby]
      Jordan is my little sister who was born to be the cute kind of trouble, don't let her innocent smile fool you, and it's hard to believe that we were bless with this surprise nearly eleven years ago. I remember the day Jordan was born, she was tiny and I was anxious to be "mom's helper" again. The times Jordan fell asleep in my arms and I have to mark it on the calendar. All the returns of old hand-me-downs. The times we sang and danced around the front yard. All the dessert trips searching for arrow heads. All the nights that I woke up from kicking feet. 

She continues to surprise me with her many hair styling tricks, doing flips through the yard, & her ability to accept change. It's hard to believe that this little baby is gaining her own voice and is growing up to be a beautiful young lady. Recently she told me, she isn't happy for the day after her birthday because I'll be moving out. It's hard to think she'll be growing so much while I'm gone at school.

Jordan is a great mini-me, crazy sister & I can't wait to see what adventures she'll conquer. 



Fur Hats? We rock them.
We look FAB.










Logan claims to have muscles.

Jordan loves her mustaches.
