Today my little brother Matthew is 22. He was the youngest, with 4 older sisters, for a long time. Until Colton came along a decade later. We did a lot of dressing him up as a girl, and he was always so sweet and laid back. But I also remember him always being tough. Once some high school girls were picking on us at the bus stop, and said something mean to me when we were walking home. Matthew was like 5 years old, but he got so mad, and thought they were going to beat me up or something, so he wanted to defend me. He ran ahead and went in the house, and for some reason decided he should bring out a stock pot half full of my mom's stew, and threw it on one of the girls. He was my hero. Ha. I don't know why they DIDN'T beat us up after that, but they just went home. Anyway, Matt is smart, funny, and a great athlete. Happy birthday Matt, we love you!
How 'bout another beautiful picture of our boy today.

Now Alex and Faith (who Paige likes to call "Alkie" and "Face") are spending the night. We've already had a birthday party, played with toys, and even recorded a music video. Success.
