happy birthday little brother

It's Spaghetti Day!

It's just a little reminder I get each year to honor my brother's birthday. I look forward to it every year... even though spaghetti is not my favorite meal... it was definitely Andrew's favorite! I had the opportunity to go to the temple with Jason last night, which is something I always try to do the week of February 26. The temple reminds me that even though he passed away almost 16 years ago, he will always be my brother and death did not change that.

I am so grateful for temples and the opportunity we have to perform ordinances there that seal families. I love my family so much and I am so grateful they will always be mine to keep!

I'm sure he would be thrilled with me for posting this picture! (Can't believe I am... don't my glasses make me look amazing!) Happy Birthday Andrew!

I actually think Andrew was proud of this picture. As for your glasses, well they were in style at that time, but your "beautiful" long dark hair is what I think is funny!!!!

That picture's awesome. I didn't know you even had that. Andrew looks very confident in his pose too!!

I have the much cuter picture of the two of you at the dance when you were younger on my computer but this one is lovely too!

The picture is great. I'm really loving looking at the way the walls and decorations looked. It sure brings back lots of memories. I think my favorite part of the pictures is Andrew's lovely locks.

We sure did enjoy our spaghetti and corn meal! The kids LOVED it! I was reminiscing all my memories of Andy. Such a sweat boy! I was really looking at the picture and everything in it...I remember thinking that horse chair was the greatest thing ever...since I LOVED horses!
