Happy Birthday Big Brother!!!

May 11th is my big brother CARL'S Birthday!!! YEEE!!!! Happy Birthday Carl! He turned the big 23! I just love Carl~he is probably one of the funniest people I know! He was born on Mother's Day in 1986...how sweet is that?! We are just two years apart so growing up was a blast with him. My mom has recorded all of our first complete sentences when we were just babies. Guess what mine was? "No Carl, MINE!" Haha! Truly I absolutely loved playing with my big brother. As we grew older, he didn't like playing with me, so when he allowed me to play it was such a treat. I remember getting so excited when he was playing with his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and he would let me play along since I had the April doll. Being the only girl with two older brothers, I quickly became the bossy little sister and I'm grateful Carl always put up with me. When we first got our trampoline, I choreographed an entire rountine and Carl and I performed it for our family. I have so many wonderful memories with my big bro. I'm so thankful for him!!

Carl has the best personality in the world! He has a way of brighten any room he steps into and his bluntness is just hilarious! He has such a wonderful testimony of Jesus Christ. I look up to him so much. He is so knowledgable about the gospel. I'm so blessed to be his little sister!
